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.

Colonel Hubert Julian, the "Black

mule Into this capital today from
nearby Ambo.
Arriving breathlessly at the Imper
ial palace, the Irrepressible West In
dian negro shouted to bystanders,
"the emperor telegraphed me to rush
back to Addis Ababa. What's the
matter?"
"The war Is on, Aduwa has fallen,"
the spectators answered, whereupon
Julian, wearing the uniform or a
colonel in the Ethiopian infantry, ex
claimed that he had been riding for
81 hours without rest and had not
known of the war.
"If the emperor wishes, I start Im
mediately to Aduwa to help recapture
the city " he proclaimed. "I know how
to fight the Italians. X knew many of

TERRAPLANE'S WALLS OF STEEL
Car buyers and the pubM c generally havo
read much about the ail-steel automo
bile body during the past year. 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

shows the steel floor, sides, back and

The cases. In which the Interna

Itself, are coming up for hearing this
month.
On the front the cards bear an In
flammatory cartoon showing the
hand of "Mass Protest" stopping a
.capitalist from sawing a "Freedom
of Speech and Assemblage" branch
from a tree with a saw labeled
"Criminal Syndicalist Laws." Hang
ing onto the' branch with their hands
are three men representing "work

The cards, which Arthur S. Ben

Cases of State vs. Kyle Pugh, facing
a five-year prison sentence on a con
viction in Jackson county on a

communist literature said to advo
cate the overthrow of the American
form of government by force, and
of State vs. Dirk DeJonge, under

the lawless raids against workers' of
fices, presses and organizations,
launched by the shipping owners to
