By DON GUV
MCMURDO SOUND, Antarctica
W Ten airmen stranded at
the South Pole by engine trouble
have repaired their plane and
returned to this antarctic coast
base.
They brought back word that
the 24 U.S. Seabecs building a sci
entific station at the Pole were
happy, warm and well ted "but
they naturally will be glad to get
me job aone and get home again.
Capt. Douglas L. Cordiner, one
of the airmen who spent two days
at the Pole after their Navy Nep
tune bomber developed trouble in
a jet engine, said the Scabees
have put up three of the six build
ings they are to erect. He said
major construction should be fin
ished by the end of the month.
The station is being built for
American scientists who will
make observations during the sun
less antarctic winter beginning in
mid-March. The project is part of
America's participation in the In
ternational Geophysical Year
'(1GY).
The Navy Neptune's two jet and
twq propeller engines were not
powerful enough to take off un
aided from the two-mile high ice
cap, as the crew had hoped.
After a 7,000-foot run and the
extra blast of 16 JATO (jet as
sistance takeoff) bottles, the plane
still was so low its skis picked
up one of the red flags marking
11.. ..-l i , L.
the polar runway and brought it

point of "acceptable risk" from

sponsored by the Bureau of Stan-
dards. It is made up of repre
sentatives of the Atomic Energy
Commission, the Public Health
Service, American Medical Assn.
and other professional and in
dustry groups. It has no regula
tory power but its recommenda
tions in the past have been widely
followed.
The unit by which radiation Is
measured is the roetgen. Taylor
said the new recommendations
are:
1. For the population as a whole
a limitation of 10 million roet
gens of man-made radiation
delivered to the reproductive or
gansfor every one million per
sons In the population from con
ception up to age 30.
That would mean an average

limit of 10 per person. But Taylor
stressed that individuals who
might receive an amount in ex-
s of that would not necessarily 1

the person's age, minus 18 mul
tiplied by 5. Age 18 is the min
imum for starting work in such
plants. Under the formula, for ex
ample, a worker would be al
lowed no more than 60 roentgens
up to age 30.
The present exposure limit for
radiation workers is three-tenths
of a roentgen per week, which
comes to 15 per year.
The new formula works at an
average of 5 roentgens per year
for an individual. However, 15 ro
entgens would be permissible in
one particular year if the worker
had built up a reserve by not
using all his allowance in previ
ous years.
