Radical Changes in Cooking
Seen in the Next 50 Years
Pittsburgh. Dec. 20 P) Radical changes in everything from
cooking to conventions are likely in the 50 years to come if elec
trical engineers turn out inventions at the rate they maintained
the last half century.
Ten electronic scientists paused at the end of the first half
of the 20th century to peer into
Protection From A-Bomb
Being Found by Scientists
Washington, Dec. 20 W) United States scientists are finding
answers to one of the most difficult and terrifying problems of
atomic warfare. .
For three years they have sought a safeguard against the linger
ing and lethal radioactive poison created in some types of A-
bomb explosions. The searcn nas'
one on since the underwater
explosion of an atomic bomb in
the Bikini test of 1946.
The results of those tests start
ed military and atomic energy
commission (A E C) scientists
looking for ways to prevent con
tamination of people and objects
or to cleanse areas and objects
of the poison.
A new publication of the AEC
on "handling radioactive wastes"
and a summary of studies writ
ten by an army engineer show
that the problem is not quite as
hopeless as was once believed.
The AEC report mentions that
its Oak Ridge, Tenn., labora
tories have been seeking better
methods for decontaminating
buildings, equipment and general
areas. Then it comments:
"This work will be useful not
only in the atomic energy pro
iram but also to the armed
forces in developing means of
decontaminating equipment in
combat zones.
"Progress is reported on the
development of strippable films
which can be used to cover con
taminated apparatus and, if nec
essary, placed by remote con-trol."
At other laboratories, it says,
"similar coatings have been de
veloped for painting hot labora
tories. From time to time the
contaminated paints can be re
moved, and the laboratory walls
do not thus become permanently
contaminated
Atomic experts use the word
"hot" to designate anything that
is dangerously radioactive. The
"hot" ships in the Bikini tests
were those sprayed with salt
water made radioactive by the
underwater burst of the bomb.
At Bikini, various experimen
tal efforts were made to cleanse
ships of the radioactive contam
ination. Lt. Col. Richard D. Wolfe, army
engineer, in an article appearing
in the current editions of two
unofficial magazines, The Anti
Aircraft Journal and the Mili
tary Engineer, describes three
general methods tried.
"The first,' he writes, "con
sists of surface removal methods.
In this category are the suc
cessful methods used to date in
decontamination of ships. In
crudest form they include paint
removal by caustic solutions and
such brute - force methods ai
sandblasting and scraping to re
move paint and part of the sur
face of the material.
'The second approach is that
of decontamination without af
fecting character or quality of
the surface; this method includes
the use of chemical solutions to
dissolve the contaminants and
carry them away.
"The third method involves
the means of preventing con
tamination, including such de
vices as the interposition of a
water film on the surface which
mechanically impedes the at
tachment of contamination to
the surface itself."

Five Children
Die in Flash Fire
Emmett. Mich, Dec. 20 (IP)
Five children in the same fam
ily, trapped in their upstairs
bedroom, burned to death this
morning when a flash fire
roared through a two-story
frame farmhouse.
The parents, Clarence Beth-
way and his wife, Irene, about
40, escaped with five of their
11 children and Mr. Bethway's
80-year-old mother, through
downstairs windows.
Their 11th child, Delia, 12,
escaped the tragedy because she
was spending the night with her
maternal grandparents.
Three brothers and two sis
ters lost their lives.
Dead were Freddie Bethway,
3; Beverly Ann, 4; David, 5
Billy, 7, and Thomas, 11.
Sheriff's officers said the fire
apparently started from a heat
ing stove.

They forsee such wonders as
bottled sunlight" for home
lighting, kitchen ranges that
can't burn the beans and the de
cline of business conventions.
Westingtouse Electric corpora
tion engineers predicted bottled
sunlight would come from highly-efficient
phosuhor powders
mixed into building material,
paint or wallpaper. The phos
phors would slowly send out at
night the light energy they ab
sorbed by day.
Electronic heat for cooking is
seen as a boon to cooks, lhe
stove of the future, the magazine
said, will provide automatic
surface cooking, regulated by
the temperature control (as in
ovens now). The idea is to
cook vegetables and other foods
at the proper rate without burn
ing or any need to watch to
make sure the water does not
boil away.
Westinghouse Vice President
John H. Ashbaugh said the stove,
to be mass produced at "rea
sonable cost," will be ready in
"not too many years."
In years to come, the engi
neers speculated, the traditional
business convention may be out
moded. Its substitute may well
be telephone television. Such a
set-up would allow across-the-desk
conversations between men
many miles apart.
Some of the other probable
inventions to watch for:
Underground transmission of
electric power across the nation
to eliminate lightning and weath
er hazards.
Automatic indoor climate control.
