Scientists Using Atomic 'Tracers' Discover New Facts About Proteins By Roger Johnson United Press Correspondent Portland, Ore., Jan. 13 (U.R) Scientists using atomic "tracers" have discovered new facts about the manufacture of proteins in the human body which may have "important Implications" in the healing of wounds, Dr. Shilds Warren, director of biol ogy and medicine for the atomic energy commission, said today. Warren also reported that atomic research experts are per fecting "cobalt 60," an isotope, which can be used as an inexpen sive substitute for radium. Co balt 60 produces "almost the same useful radiation as radi um," Dr. Warren said, and is available in much larger quan tities. Significant Project Dr. Warren, his assistant di rector. Dr. John Bowers, and Assistant Officer John Derry ar rived in Portland from Wash ington after an inspection trip to the atomic energy commis sion's plutonium plant at Han ford, Wash. Dr. Warren described the de veloping experiments in proteins and cobalt 60 as two of the most successful and significant current projects of the biology medicine division of the AEC. "AEC scientists at the Cali fornia Institute of Technology have discovered that proteins in the body can be manufactured from amino acids within 20 minutes much less time than it previously had been believed;" Warren said. "Radio active carbon 'tracers' were used to measure the speed of protein manufacture. The re sults have important implications In wound healing and post-operative shock recuperation. It Recovering Mrs. Ruby Rusque, 534 North Bartlett street, who has been ill since De cember 28, is recovering nicely and is able to be up, friends re ported today. ...

Arnold has re turned to his home on Sunset drive after having been a patient in Good Samaritan hospital in Portland for the past manth. He is reported to be much improved in neaun. En Route Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Roggenkamp and son Raymond, and Miss Audrey McElaheny, Seattle, stopped over in Medford last night en route to vacation in Arizona and California. The party was driving and reported that due to road conditions it had taken them two and one-half days to arrive in Medford. ... Injured Tony Caputo, Port land, suffered head injuries when an iron plate struck him on the head at Medford corpora tion yesterday. He was taken to Sacred Heart hospital by Conger-Morris ambulance. Caputo is an employee of the Bumstead and Wolford Construction com pany, it was said. . Lights Blind A car operated by David Johnson, route 2, box 413E, was badly damaged Wed nesday night when it struck the parked car of Melvin E. Wilson. 321 Benson street, on Ross lane, according to a report filed with city police. Johnson stated that he was blinded by the lights of a tnira car. Collision Reported Sedans operated by W. C. Sanderson, 619 Clark street, and Frank P. Perrard, 432 Fairmount avenue, collided at the intersection of Fairmount and Summit avenues about noon yesterday, a report filed with city police disclosed. Considerable damage was re ported to the Sanderson vehicle. Renovations Undertaken The city building inspector's office has issued a permit for $7,000 renovations to second floor of fice quarters at the Medford Cen ter building. E. Larson has ap plied to erect a $5,000 residence at 2130 Capital avenue. Earl Heft will move and repair a resi dence at 913 South Holly street at a cost of $4,000. Forced To Fly Hugh Colo man, new manager of Crater Lake Motors, arrived today by plane from Oakland, Cal., where he had been on a business trip.

To Discover Dividing Line Dr. Warren and Dr. Bowers said a primary problem of their scientists, working under con gressional grants in universities throughout the nation, was to discover the dividing line be tween "safe" and "dangerous" amounts of radioactivity in the human body. One microgram of radium one twenty-five-millionth of an ounce is sufficient to cause cancer of the bone, Warren said. In this connection, Warren disclosed that the University of Oregon Medical school, experi menting under an AEC grant, has been studying the relation ship between the content of ra dium in the body and the occur rence of cancer. Analysis of the school's findings and samples of cancerous tissues will be made at the Hanford works, Warren said. Precautions Taken Dr. Warren said very elab orate precautions have been taken at Hanford to prevent radioactivity from entering the nearby Columbia river. He said the measures include a very care ful analysis of materials, stor age precautions and setting free radioactive material in such a way that there is no possibility of danger.
