PAOE NINE LAW 10 CONTROL SALE OF RADII Horror Of Living Death Spread In 1924 Causing Complaint Of Health Re- . sorts Control Held Need By TED H. MALOY (United Press Staff CorrMpondit.) KEW YORK. (UP) Legislation may -be asked to control use of radio- active waters and thereby eliminate ' eome of the feare that have grown about the uoe of radium In 1U vari ous forms. Dr. O. Everett Pteld of the Radium institute laboratory here told the United Press. The horror of a living death spread In 1924 when five women employes of the United States Radium cor poration discovered they had been poisoned from pointing brushes with the tongue aa they painted watch dials with luminous paint. It was accentuated on March 31. 1933, when Eben M. Byers. millionaire Pittsburgh Iron manufacturer, died after drink ing a radium solution.- European health resorts at radio active springs have appealed to Amer ican therapists to correct the-im-presslon here that such watera are poisonous. Want I'm Controlled. The contemplated legislation would "control the Indiscriminate use of radio-active water generators by the public." Dr. Field said.' There la no recognized harmful influence of the water, he said, "other than for use aa a remedy where It does not apply." Byers died after doubling and quadrupling the prescribed dose. Dr. Field asserted. The watch dial paint ers were poisoned by mesothorlum. he said, which is "300 times stronger and two-thirds cheaper than radium." Meso-thorlum is radio-active and Is used in less refined states. It loses Its luminous or radio-activity much faster than radium, which emanates Its rays for 1.700 years. Claims Called Exaggerated. Federal control of radio-active products followed the watch dial cases 1 of 1924. In 1930, J. W. Sale, an ex pert of the United States food, drug and insecticide administration, at tacked the "highly exaggerated claims, evidently designed to mislead the purchaser, for many alleged radio active products." He found only five per cent of the products said to be radio-active contained material quan tities of radium. A patient would hve to drink 1.957 gallons of water dally to get a minimum dosage of radio-activity from one of the prod ucts, he said. A more strict control would permit only government-tested products on the market and would regulate their use. Look to Copeland. Senator Royal S. Oopeland, New York physician, la looked to by the radium therapists as likely to intro duce their legislation. However. Cope land told the United Press he had not considered such an act. With the controlled use of radium and radio-active substances, Dr. Field envisioned more extensive use and greater curative results. He has been using these substances In his treat ments for 20 years. He has made more than 7.000 Injections of radium chloride Into the veins of his patients. Many diseases respond to radio active treatments. Dr. Field said. One of the worst Is -arthritis. Great Benefits Seen. Government control, or partial government control, would give con- fldence to the field of radio-active therapy, he believes. Use of the radio active substances, though known to the ancients, who visited the medlc lnsl springs. Is Just dawning, he said. Production of artificial radium which would be active for only a few hours but be much stronger and great deal cheaper than pure radium has been announced by Prof. Ernest O. Lawrence of the University of Celt fornla. Each wave that hits the shore releases a small volume of radium gas. With these known sources of radio active substances to be developed. Dr. Field foresees a new day in the battle again disease. 4 ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 9.-(AP) Colonel Hubert Julian, the "Black Eagle of Harlem" rode on a foaming mule Into this capital today from nearby Ambo.

On the showroom floor, the all-steel body does not look very much different from other types of construction. Strip off the up holstery, however, and remove the trim and it is easy to realize what protection la furnished by a body of this design. The structure illustrated here is one of the late model Terra planes and the photograph is taken from an angle which shows the steel floor, sides, back and roof.
