Demand for Geiger Counters
Heavy in Northwest Area
By Art Riddle
(United Won Staff Corrwondent)
Spokane, Wash. (IP) One of the
post-war world s most fascinating
pioaucis, tne ueiger counter, has
oeen seiung faster than a Boston
banned novel in. tne nortnwest
tnis year.
lick K Shanks, 26, is one of
the half-dozen dealers nanoling
Geiger counters in tne nortnwesi.
He leports that anyone, from an
old prospector to the city's wealth
iest physician, is apt to step into
his Id by ltj shop to buy tne de
vice.
A product of the atom age, the
counter is used to detect tne pres
ence of radioactive material, espe
cially uranium. Portable units
sucn as Shanks sells weign about
four pounds.
They are simple In appearance,
consisting outwardly oi a plain
metal box, a pair of earphones
and an aluminum cylinder, about
the size of a flashlight, connected
to the box try a two-foot cord. A
Geiger-Mueher tube, sensitive to
cylinder.
Demand Is Heavy
Portable units range in price
from $5a to $3(5, but Shanks said
a trustworthy instrument is not
likely to be sold for less than $100.
Shanks, a navy veteran who
learned instrument work at the
Hanford atomic plant near Rich
land, Wash., has sold about 85
counters in the year he's handled
them. Only Tecently. has he been
able to get enough to keep up
with the demand.
"Doctors and dentists seem to
have a particular liking for the
counters," Shank said. "They
take them along on vacations and
get in a little uranium prospect
ing as well as hunting and fish
ing." Others who have bought the de
vice include engineers, mining
companies, land owners, real es
tate men and old-time prospectors.
"More than once an old duffer
has shuffled into the shop look
ing as though he expected a
handout," Shanks said. "But In
variably It'll be a weather-beaten

hundred dollar bill for a counter."
Assaying Free
Shanks, who is nearly as proud
of his two-year-old business as he
is of hts two-weeks-old son, also
runs an impromptu assay office.
He said eight or ten persons
stop in each day carrying samples
of ore. They want to know
whether it's radioactive.
"I don't charge them anything
to test it," Shanks said. "After
all, there's only one chance in a
million that any particular sam
ple will be 'hot'."
Shanks' shop originally dealt in
air pressure gauges, thermome
ters and a myriad of other indus
trial meters. Shanks is glad he
added the Geiger counter to his
list.
He's looking forward to the
day when the counter will take
its place beside the thermos bot
tle and portable radio as standard
equipment for vacationers and
picnickers.
Soft Drinks Hit
By Penny Tax
Eaton. Ga. IB The city coun
cil devaluated the nickels and got
a taste of the trouble Britain is
having with the pound sterling.
The values of the nickels went
down when the council upped the
price of soft drinks by levying a
penny tax. The bottling business
promptly went to pot.
Some stores quite selling soda
pop altogether to escape the Ire
of small fry customers.
Some stores absorbed the tax
themselves to keep the drink at
market value.
Other stores posted signs read
ing: "All five-cent drinks, six cents."
A group of merchants circulat
ed a petition for repeal of the tax.
One bottling company refused to
solicit business within the city
limits. Owners of automatic dis
pensing machines that handle
only five-cent . coins were frus
trated. A vendor who tried placing a
"tax box" at the side of the ma
chine for collection of pennies
remarked later: "You'd be sur
prised how little honor some peo
ple have when it comes to paying
taxes."
The city council, however,
shrugged off all the abuse and
waited for reaction to the rest of
its tax program, which included:
Two and three cents on movie
tickets. (,;' ;!
Four dollars on all men "be
tween the ages of 18 and 80.
Two dollars on dogs, regardless
of age, size, color or breed.

Dwigans, 7, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul M. Dwigans, Madras,

Amputee Makes
Corking Pitcher
St. Louis urt A pitcher with
two artificial legs is throwing a
better, screwbaa here Uian the
major leagues ever will see.
He is clarence Bud Voellln-
ger of East St. Louis who hasn't
lost a game this year, and hasn t
oeen scored upon.
voellinger pitches in the cork
ball league, which is somewhat
unknown throughout'the country.
A corkball is auout the size of a
plum, the bat the player uses is a
half size bigger than a broom
stick.
Tne ball is made of cork with a
horsehide cover. Ihe curves a
man can pitch with it and the
skill required to hit it are beyond
any standards used in baseball.
But Voellinger, 23, who had his
legs torn off by a' German land
mine when he was in the infantry,
is fast becoming the best corkball
pitcher in the area.
corkball is a great aid to handi
capped players. It requires no
running.
Teammates of Voellinger say
that if he were in the maiors and
could throw curves with a base
ball as he does with a corkball,
Joe DiMaggio and Stan Musial
could not even get a safe bunt.
Actress Stabs
Self in Abdomen
Hollywood, Nov. 21 Oil Sultry
actress Jean Wallace, 27-year-old
divorced wife of actor iranchot
Tone, was recovering today alter
stabbing herselt "just for
laughs."
lr. C Landry Cooper said the
wound in her aodomen was tnree
fourtns of an inch wide and "sev
eral incnes" deep. The 'former
Earl Carroll show girl had nicked
a large vein and several stitches
were needed, he said.
Tne Stabbing occurred yester
day after she spent Saturday at
Tone's swank Bel-Air home visit
ing their two young sons. Tone
has custody of the children by a
pre-divorce agreement.
Miss Vvallace's mother, Mrs.
Mary. Ingham, said she heard a
scream snortly after her daugh
ter arrived home. Rushing to the
kitchen, she found her daughter
holding a 16-lnch butcher knife.
She had suffered an abdominal
wound.
No Reconciliation
Mrs. Ingham said she wrestled
the knife away from her daugh
ter, receiving a slight cut on one
finger.
"I might as well finish it now,"
she quoted her daughter as saying.
"I just did it for laughs," the
beauteous blonde told attendants
at Presbyterian hospital, where
she was taken after receiving
emergency treatment at Georgia
street receiving hospital.
Tone appeared at the receiving
hospital after she had left.
"There is no plan for a recon
ciliation," he said. "I'm very sor
ry."
Miss Wallace divorced Tone
more than a year ago in a Holly
wood "friendly affair." Relatives
told ofticers she had been de
spondent over the marriage fail
ure. She eloped to Yuma, Ariz.,
with Tone in October 1941.
