Deals in Life as Well as Death
Los Alamos, N. M., Feb. 14
life as well as death.
While the nation's top nuclear
mos laboratories to perfect weapons capable of dealing death
to hundreds of thousands, a comparatively small group of 34
bio-medical scientists do re--
search that might defeat many
of the human race s most de
structive ailments.
At the same time, the 34
work to protect the weapons
scientists against the vagaries of
the radioactive materials with
which they deal every day.
Directing the Los Alamos bio
medical research group is Dr.
Wright Langham, a slight, en
ergetic man whose scientific
ability commands the respect of
other scientists on ' the hill
Langham has watched the
bio-medical lab grow from an
18 by 20 foot laboratory and
three persons to its present staff
and 23 laboratories.
Only three of the 23 labors
tories are inside the security
fence, but outsiders are not en
couraged to visit. Some of the
materials used In the bio-medi-
cal research could be death
dealing to the careless.
The laboratories are a strange
world of Geiger counters, spe
cial test tubes made by some of
the nation's best glass blowers
and intricate photographic
equipment that enables radio
activity to take its own picture
on raw film.
There are rabbits with panels
in their ears, permitting scien
tists to study blood flow. There
is a slicer that cuts material un
der observation to l10th mi
cron and a micron Is 39.37 mil-
lionths of an inch.
An ultra-centrifuge, a bulky
box-like affair, spins 70,000 re
volutions a minute to separate
molecules of a substance by
sheer centrifugal weight. This
compares with a cruising speed
of 1,900 r.p.m.'s for the four-
engine Constellation plane.
The material to be broken
down is inserted in a drum and
all air withdrawn from the
chamber before the spinning be
gins. Scientists say the drum
spins so rapidly that even a
small amount of air left in the
chamber would produce enough
friction to burn the solid steel
drum to a shapeless mass.
There are electronic beams
that pass through material be
ing tested and chart, on film,
that material's component parts
in comparative peaks.
There is an infra-red specto-
photometer that produces a mo
lecular pattern of an unknown
substance. Once scientists get
that pattern, they can farm it

Radio-active carbon 14 is
used to "tag" chemical com
pounds whose activity in living
tissue is being studied. The ra
dioactivity of the tagged com
pound makes it easier to trace
the compound's, progress
through the body.
Los Alamos scientists say tag
ging of compounds is proving
valuable in the study of brain
tumors, goiter, heart diseases,
pellagra and cancer. Such trac
ing methods are enabling sci
ence to move ever nearer its
goal of perfecting drugs design
ed for specific tasks of healing
Carbon 14 is not the only tag
ging substance used here. Oth
ers include 150 types' of iodine,
sulphur, hydrogen and nitrogen.
Uangham says about 60 per
cent of the bio-medical staff's
time is devoted to research con
cerned primarily with the
health, medical and biological
problems of interest to the wea
pons scientists.
The other 40 per cent is spent
in scientific research of a more
fundamental nature, including
biological effects of ionizing ra
diation and the use of radioac
tive isotypes in biology and me
dicine. The most concrete production
to come out of the highly theor
etical work of the medical re
search group has been the ship
ment of carbon 14 labelled com
pounds to Oak Ridge for distrl-
bution to research centers not
affiliated with the atomic en
ergy commission.
Available for public distribu
bution through the AEC are
tagged nicotinic acid, anthrani
11c acid, nicotinamide, nembutal,
and urea.
Nicotinic acid and nicotina
mide are used for pellagra, a
disease characterized by gastric
and nervous disorders.
Urea will aid -in studies of the
body's utilization of protein. Ra
dioactive nembutal aids in the
study of sleep producing drugs.
A tagged nitrogen mustard com
pound will furnish a more com
plete study of lymphatic cancer.
Los Alamos itself takes its
bio-medical research pretty
much for granted, just as it does
its weapons research.

No Place Like Home
Stayton Humans are not
alone in sensing a nostalgic feel
ing for familiar places with
pleasant memories, for there is
the case of the horse which
George Fery sold two or three
years ago to his neighbor, Leo
Odenthal, whose farm is a mile
away on the West Stayton-Mar-
ion road.
It was with some surprise that
Fery found the horse standing in
the barn one day recently, stand
ing in much the same manner as
one enjoying a visit to old fami
liar haunts.
Although given plenty to eat
and well cared for, the horse
had broken out and traveled
down the road to his old barn,
where he had nosed the sliding
door open.
the comparison between numer
ical personnel and the amount
of money being spent on the two
widely variant projects points
up current world conditions.
When there comes the time
when so much is no longer heed
ed in weapons research and pro
duction, the possibilities of at
omic health research, as repre
sented by the Los Alamos bio
medical project, seem almost
unlimited.

American Scholars to Microfilm
Rare Manuscripts on Mt. Sinai
Alexandria, Egypt, Feb. 14 (u.R) The Mount Sinai expedition,
sponsored by the American Foundation for the Study of Man, will
microfilm 500,000 pages of ancient manuscripts at St. Catherine's
monastery.
The monastery lies on Mount Sinai, midway between the two
gulfs of the Red sea. The' man-
uscripts are in Greek, Latin,
Syrian,. Abyssian, Arabic - and
Georgian.
William Terry, director of the
expedition, said the microfilm
ing of the documents, which al
ready has started, will make
them available for study by his
torians and Bible scholars
throughout the world for sev
eral generations to come.
The manuscripts date- back to
the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D.
and were brought by monks,
who then lived in caves, to St.
Catherine's Monastery in the
5th century.
-
Their microfilming will be
undertaken by five experts,
headed by a photographic tech
nician, Wallace Wade, of the Li
brary of Congress. According to
Terry, it will take about four
months of intensive work to do
the job. The photographers will
be taking between 10,000 and
15,000 shots daily.
Among the treasures at St
Catherine's are some 2,000 "fir
mans" or "letters" from the sul
tans and caliphs of Egypt re
garding the privileges and pre
rogatives of the monastery.
As the archives of medieval
Egypt were destroyed by the
Turkish invasion in the 18th
century, these "firmans" will
throw light on an otherwise un
illuminated period of Islamic
history.
One of the manuscripts at the
monastery is the "Codex Sinat
icus," which was removed from
the monastery by a German
scholar named Tisendorff, who
gave it to the Czar of Russia.
This precious mauscript later
was sold to the British museum
for 10,000 gold, during the
Russian revolution, according
to Terry.
The American Foundation for
the Study of Man, Terry said, is
doing this work on behalf of
the Library of Congress in
Washington and in cooperation
with the American Schools of
Oriental Research.

up three good KfiC - ,
It's good business to do business
over Long Distance lines... to keep
in touch with the home office, order
supplies, close sales, talk to sales
men and customers ... to express
exactly what you mean through the
personality of your own voice.
And you'll get the most out of
fast, personal Long Distance service
when you remember these two tips:
First organize your call...plan what you'll say in advance.. .keep
notes while you're talking. That's how you can say as much in three
minutes as in an average letter and get your answer right away.
Second keep a list of the out-of-town numbers you call.. .and youll
speed service even more. For if you can tell the operator the telephone
number you want not just the name and address your call often
will be completed, within 30 seconds.
Use Long Distance so personal, so fast, so inexpensive

The expedition's work, Terry
added, might help disclose hith

parts of the New Testament,
well as make closer estimates
for textual criticism of the New
Testament.
