State Gambling Law
'Said Disgraceful
Portland (U.R) Oregon's pari
mutuel law permitting gambling
on horse and dog races has been
a disgrace since its inception, the
Presbyterian synod of Oregon
declared Tuesday at its annual
meeting.
The delegates , unanimously
supported the report on gam
bling, which also called on law
enforcement officers to live up
to their oaths of office and en
force present gambling laws.
The synod suggested the full
use of the state law permitting
children to be released from
school studies one hour a week
for religious instruction to help
stem juvenile delinquency.

II Metal Box To
Tell Chance of Life
In Atomic Explosion
Wednesday. June 25, 1952
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB
Sacramento U.R A small
metal box, known as a "color
metric dosimeter," that can de
termine your chance for life or
death in an atomic attack, is
being developed by the Univer
sity of California at Los Angeles.
The two-inch black box is a
chemical radiation detector and
contains three tubes of purple
liquid. Each tube is set to ab
sorb a certain amount of radia
tion without change.
Tubes Tell Story
After that point if one tube
turns yellow you'll survive if
given blood plasma and treat
ment. If two tubes turn yellow
there's a slightly less than 50
Der cent chance you'll survive.
If all three tubes turn yellow
99 chances out of 100 you 11 be
dead within six weeks.
Development of the device Is
being supervised by Dr. Stafford
Warren, dean of the UCLA medi
cal school and California's of
ficial radiological expert.
State civil defense officials
saidfvery Californian may some
day wear one around his neck
like an army dog-tag.

Each box would be riveted
shut to prevent trading or pur
chasing of dosimeters. Name,
address and blood type should
be stamped into each box.
The box would be opened only
at a casualty station after an
atomic bombing and medical
corpsmen would be able to de
termine immediately to what
degree the person had been ex
posed to radio-activity and the
chances for saving the victim.
Dr. Warren said before the
boxes become acceptable for
public use the Federal Bureau of
Standards must give them ap
proval and the $2.50 per unit
cost must be brought down to
25 or 50 cents.
Liquid Defined
The purple liquid contained
in the box is potassium hydrox
ide, chloroform and a special
litmus-type dye. The tubes are
made of a special pyrex to pre
vent radiation from minerals in
the glass itself. '
When enough injurious gam
ma rays penetrate the liquid,
part of the potassium compound
changes structure. It combines
with the chloroform to produce
hydrochloric acid which turns
the dye from purple to yellow.
