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

according to a report filed with
city police. Johnson stated that
he was blinded by the lights of
a tnira car.
Collision Reported Sedans

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.
