ILLINOIS ff
AFTER BOMB TRY
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 2
U.PJ A quantity of strawboard
made from straw cut in southern
Illinois 23 days after the test
atomic bomb explosion in New
Mexico was found to be strongly
radioactive, according to the di
rector of laboratories at Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology.
Dr. Robert D. Evans, also
physics professor at MIT, disclos
ed last night that photographic
tests of the strawboard revealed
that it was so intensely radioac
tive that it would have ruined
( any film wrapped in it. The tests
were made at the Rochester, N.
Y., plant of the Eastman Kodak
Co.
Dr. Evans and other scientists
investigating the strange effects
have two possible explanations:
1. The atomic bomb explosion
in Los Alamos, N. M., may have
been responsible. Some of the
active ingredients of the bomb
which were not "smashed" may
have carried to a high altitude,
become caught in the trade
winds, then borne eastward, and
precipitated by rain on the Illi
nois strawfields.
"The contamination may have
eome from some other source,
possibly the nearby Wabash riv
er. The problem is further compli
cated. Dr. Evans said, by the fact
that strawboard produced at the
fame time in mills in Indiana,
Iowa and other points in the
aame geographical area preved
to be clean.

1946 Chevrolet Here Saturday
A gleaming front assembly
which accentuates the low, sleek
lines of the entire car, and an
appealing array of color com
binations are features of the
modish tyle which makes the
new, 1946 Chevrolet the criterion
of the low-priced field. The smart
new car makes its debut in Med
ford Saturday at the showrooms
of Rogue River Chevrolet at
Ninth and Bartlett streets.
Embodying some of the best
thinking of automotive design
ers, the new Chevrolets empha
size classical lines, with a long,
flowing sweep from front to
back. Chromium plated and
stainless steel trim, used with
restraint and good taste, high
lights the overall design. Stream
lining is combined with massive
ness and lowness as shown in
the accompanying illustration of
the Stylemaster sport sedan.
The bodies by Fisher, exclus
ive with Chevrolet in the low
priced field, provide a combina
tion of style, safety, luxury and
durability. Fisher Unisteel con
struction means that floor, pan
els, cowl and turret-top roof are
welded to form an all-steel unit.
No-draft ventilation is provided.
A Chevrolet feature is the
door-action fender, which flows
smoothly back half way into the
front doors. The new hood is ex
ceptionally deep and massive. In
teriors are the last word in taste
and luxury. Upholstery is super
latively tailored in fabrics that
look smarter, wear better and
clean more easily.
Pure beauty has been attained
by master craftsmen in the de
sign of interior fittings, instru
ment panel fixtures and home
like conveniences inside the car.
The instrument panel is distinc
tive, too, for its practical ar
rangements of dials and indica
tors, contributing to the ease of
driving.
Six color schemes are avail
able on all regular models. A
range of three solid colors is
available. And two-tone combi
nations are available on specifi
cation, all in the most desired
shades.
The front-end treatment of the
1946 Chevrolet is completely
new, bringing into modern focus
the lowness and massiveness of
line.
The bumper, radiator grille
and headlamps present a com
bined appearance of classic sim
plicity. The gleaming, unadorn
ed horizontal bars of the grille
emphasize width, and lower the
lines.
