NEW YORK,- Nov. 20-(ff)-A startUnf j : variety f radioactiv weapons is revealed In a series of patent cases issued to Jack Dement ef the Dement Laboratories, Portland, Ore. ! These patents recently were released from jtht secret. list They show what enemies can do. They show things civil defense workers must know, Xor it the knowledge is lacking, ;the fweapons will spread zear iar w excess 01 any narm they canwreak. - At least six nations have the atom-splitting reactors to make these radioactive weapons. These are. the United States, Canada, Britain, Russia, France and Sweden. All; the weapons are made : from . radioactive atoms. There are about 70 different kinds of atoms jto select from. Probably only a few of these varieties will be useful,; but a few is plenty.

Nojjonet can see, feel,. hear, taste or smell them. Dement's patents cases follow: One. is! poison gas, with radio activity added. Dementi says - the radioactive atoms wilt be filtered out in the cannisters of gas masks, along with the! poisons. But the radio activity will iauud up in tne can nister, until this filter .

Vogeler was the American who . was convicted of espionage by the Hungarian "peo ple's court' on the basis of his own "confession.? Through the persistent efforts of his -wife and the cooperation of the U. S. state department, Vogeler was released after- serving only a portion of his 15-year sentence. With the aid of Leigh White, journalist, he has been repcrtiSXus experience as a victim of communist justice in a series of articles in the Saturday Evening Post. The series is most valuable for it gives a case history of commu nist methods of extracting con fessions. This has excited the curiosity of the western world ever since the purge trials of the ""old bolsheviks" r in Moscow in 1937. ' It " reached j a climax when Cardinal Mindzenty "confessed" to crimes against the Hungarian state. What means possibly could be used to break human wills so men would parrot their confes sions in open court? Was it drugs? Was it fear of reprisals on -relatives? The Vogeler narrative tells how it was . done in his case, though it seems he was given less physical suffering than other communist victims. . Vogeler was in Hungary on legi timate business for his company, International Telephone and Tele graph company,' trying to nego tiate a business agreement with the government. He was arrested as he was leaving the country for Vienna and brought back to Buda pest for trial. He was denied con tact with the American legation and it was barred from contact with him. He was deprived of counsel until at the very last a stooge was furnished (Continued on editorial page, 4) Incentive Pay Hikes Allowed WASHINGTON, NovlO The wage stabilization board voted today to permit certain in centive pay plans.

There have been only a few pos sible kinds of war gases, because only a few would remain near the ground and persist. Other gases. nave these two essential quali ties, but they are v not poisonous. Adding radioactivity will make them poisonous too. Other patent cases cover radio active smokes of 600 verities. The chemical i elements that can be made . radioactive in smokes In clude iron, silicon, copper, lead, aluminum, nickel, arsenic, gold, sliver and; many others. Radioactive Amme ; Ammunition can be made radio active. A projectile can be dipped or coated with radioactive mater ials. Radioactive stuff may be electroplated on.
