EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Radioactive FalDouf ostly Unfounded; Compared to Soot From Furnace Washington U.R) A busi r.essman complained that fallout from atomic weapons tests in Nevada was making his employ ees sick. A taxi driver said his tires were getting sticky from radio-activity, Moscow blamed droughts in Russia on atomic fallout from America. Fallout didn't do any of these things. But such complaints are an indication of how the menace of fallout, a deadly by-product of nuclear explosions, is con cerning people here and abroad. Las Vegas (U.R) Atomic Energy commission weather experts were scheduled to con vene today to determine whether the often - pdstponed "granddad iy" shot of Ihe 1955 nuclear test series would be rescheduled for tomorrow. The blast has been post poned since March 14 because of unfavorable weather. A sub stitute, smaller air burst may be detonated tomorrow, the AEC said. There's no secret about what atomic fallout is, and there is a certain amount of information available about what it does. Atomic fallout might be com pared with soot from a hot fur nace being drawn up a chimney. Somewhere the soot has to come down. Lighter Soot, Lighter Damage By the time soot settles to earth it has colled off so much that about' the only damage it can do is smudge a wash drying on the line. But if a heavy cinder is sucked up through a chimney it can cause real trouble. It may fall back to earth while it is still hot and start a fire.

These private demonstrations will be held at the Medford Hotel on Wednesday ONLY, March 30, 2 p. m. till 9 p. m. Chicago (Speciall In an in terview here ttiday Mr. E. V. Safranski, internationally fan ous trichologist and director of the Millard Hair and Scalp Specialists said "There are 18 different scalp disorders that cause most men and women to lose hair. Using common sense, a person must realize no one tonic or so called cure-nil could correct all the disorders," he ex plained. GUARANTEED "The Millard firm, recogniz ing that most people are skepti cal of claims that hair can be grown on balding heads, offer a guarantee," Safranski said. Once a person avails himself to the Mi Hard treatment his skepticism immediately disap pears. To insure this we offer this guarantee: "If you are not completely satisfied with your hair progress at the end of 30 days your money will be re turned." HOPELESS CASES DISCOURAGED First the Millard specialists are quick to tell hopeless cases that they cannot be helped. But the "hopeless' cases are few. Only if a man is completely, shiny bald is he in this lost category. If there is fuzz, no matter how light, thin, or colorless, the Mil lard people can perform won ders. Every one is given a complete, private examination to deter mine the condition of his scalp, and cause for his hair trouble. FREE EXAMINATIONS This examination is very thorough and highly technical, Financial Reference: South 2959 East Ninety-Second MAIL TRIBUNE It's about the same with fall out. v Dust which is sucked into an atomic explosion gets "hot," or radioactive. But the hot dust cools off fast, losing a great deal of its radioactivity in a few min utes, practically all within a few hours. If the dust is light, like soot, it would be harmless by the time it settled to earth. This is the kind of fallout that we've been getting from atomic weapons tests in Nevada. It Atomic-Artillery Task Force Plans Test of Guided Missile Las Vegas U.R) A joint atomic-artillery task force laid plans today for stratospheric tests of an atomic tipped guided missile which could v.jpe out potential enemy bomber fleets even with a near miss. The Atomic Energy commis sion and the Department of De fense announced an atomic war head carried by a guided missile would be detonated at "thou sands of feet" in the air above the Nevada desert test site in simulated attack on an "enemy Vinmhor f nrmation. The speedy missile may be launched from an Air Force B36 flvina at nearly 40,000 feet, sev eral thousand feet above and be hind smoke trajls representing the "target," a theoretical fleet of enemy bombers. The missile rould be exriloded by remote control just as it sped into the smoke-trail area. Half-Mile Miss Deadlv Estimates are such an explo si on rould eliminate an entire Improving Hair it requires 20 to 30 minutes. There is no charge for this ex amination and no appointment is necessary. After examination he is told the required length of treatment and how much it will cost. After starting treatment, he makes regular reports to the Mil lard firm in Chicago, and a tri chologist will return to check his progress periodically. To spread the opportunity of normal, healthy hair to the thousands who are desperately looking for help, the Millard firm is sending specialists to various cities throughout the United States to conduct exami nations and start home treat ment. NO CURE ALL "We have no cure-all for slick, shiny baldness," Safranski em phasizes. "If there is fuzz, the root is still capable of creating hair and we can perform what seems ot be a miracle." There is one thing Safranski wants ot be certain every man and woman knows. If a recession appears at the temples or a spot begins to show up on the crown of the head, there is something wrong and it it should be given immediate attention. HAIR FOR LIFETIME "If clients follow our direc tions during treatment, and after they finish the course, there is no reason why they will not have hair all the rest of their lives," Safranski said. "Our firm is definitely behind this treat ment, it all depends on the in dividual's faithful observation of a few simple rules." HOW'S YOUR HAIR? If it worries you call Tricho logist S.

Heavier Dust is Dangerous But atomic explosions also can suck up heavier dust, like hot cinders. This happens when an H bomb is exploded so close to earth its fireball scoops out a crater in the ground. The dust that goes up is heavier and there fore it falls back to earth pretty fast. This fallout settles to the ground before it has had a chance to "cool," or lose its ra enemv bomber formation. A sin gle plane would be wiped out even if the missile missed its target by as much as one-half mile. Antipyrene May Have Use in Feed Research Ithaca, N. Y. (U.R) Antl pyrene a drug used in hu mans to reduce fever and re lieve pain may have an im portant use in cattle-feed re search. Cornell university scientists say the drug may eliminate the need to slaughter animals in ev aluating feed rations. The researchers have found that measurements made by in jecting antipyrene into the bloodstream of animals are as accurate as chemical analysis of slaughtered animals. Feed can thus be evaluated by mea suring the fatness of animals at the beginning and end of test periods. Since the end of World War II, American railroads have bought new diesel engines at a rate of 1,000 per year. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR SALE Weaner pigs. Phone TA 6-2301.

And this kind of fallout is dangerous. It can kill. The Atomic Energy commis sion disclosed recently that H bomb fallout from an explosion where the fireball touched the ground can contaminate an area of 7000 square miles, greater than the state of Connecticut, almost as big as Massachusetts or New Jersey. For 36 hours after such an ex plosion, no one in the region could be certain of staying alive. The agencies did not announce a date for the stratospheric ex plosion. Earlier reports indicat ed such a device would be deto nated during the 1955 test series. "Because of their great power, atomic aid defense weapons will greatly increase our ability to repel any enemy air attack," the joint announcement said. "The employment of such weapons for air defense purposes will en hance the efectiveness of inter ceptor aircraft squadrons and ground based air defense units in stopping enemy bombers short, of our cities and other strategic targets." Tests Last Week The announcement did not specify an air-to-air attack on an "enemy" formation, but only last Friday the AEC and the De fense department for the first time fired a non-nuclear high explosive shot in a full-scale test. A B36 flying six miles above the Nevada range fired the missile into a pattern of eight smoke trails 1,000 feet be low. The trails represented a fleet of "enemy" bombers. This was termed a "calibra tion" shot preparatory to a full scale firing of a high altitude, nuclear tipped air-to-air missile.

Like soot, atomic dust is carried whichever way the wind is blow ing. Downwind from an atomic explosion you would have to be at least 220 miles away to be sure you wouldn't be killed by fallout. This is why protection against fallout is becoming an impor tant phase of civil defense plan ning in America.

(EIE(D(CIE Moderation By Press During Labor Disputes in Scandanavia Noted by Mail Tribune Writer (uuiior s noie: mis is an other in a series of articles written for The Mail Tribune by Walter Mattila. Portland newspaperman now on a tour cf the acandanavian tries.) coun- By WALTER MATTILA Mail Tribune Special Writer Helsinki, Finland (By Air Mail) The newspapers' role in a major labor dispute in Scan dinavia is much different from that in the United States. Sweden has just escaped the threat of the worst strike in its history. Yet only Communist press took a strong editorial stand, denouncing the employers that might well have been bor rowed from American "strike language." Comment in conservative, lib eral and labor papers was mod erate and all expressed hope that Swedish horse sense would find the way to solve the problem of the high wage demands made by pulp and paper workers. At no time was the union as sailed as reckless and unreason able. This charge could hardly have been made with justice, for the union and its superior, the Swedish labor federation known as LO, has a staff of economists working on all proposals. This activity is normal in Scandi navian wage disputes. Swedish editors and reporters acknowledged their labor report ing is not thorough. They did not deny that so-called advance stories might have been more numerous and significant. Sev eral writers complained that the Swedish public did not know the meaning of the word "lockout" the strike of employers. As a rule labor matters get little space in their press. When the Employers Associa tion issued a warning that a general lockout might occur the pulp and paper workers had the full support of LO some I newspapers criticized the warn (Ul ing as too disturbing. Some com ment indicated that the em loyers were suspected of trying to frighten the public in favor of employers. But all save the Communist press was surprisingly circum spect in presenting strike news with almost judicial impartiality and calm. Nor did the other Scandinavian newspapers play up the Finnish labor situation except in matter of fact reports. There was however ah air of gravity in the accounts which intimated the Scandinavian press feared the Finnish strike might develop into a political crisis involving Russia. No newspapers in Scandina via, not even in Finland, are making anything of the railroad strikers handling freight bound for Russia but not touching freight from Russia once it reaches the Finnish border. Large quantities are said to be dumped off trains returning to Russia.

Nothing to Buy - Nothing to BE SURE TO ENTER. In general the press coverage of labor disputes in Scandinavia is a cool summary of facts. Lit tle space is devoted to a situa tion which is still hatching. Criticism of the various Scandi navian governments all Labor except in Finland is particu larly temperate in labor mat ters. Scandinavian labor does not have Labor members in par liament hog tied. They appear to be less exposed to pressure groups of labor and management than is the case in the United States where a labor legislator rarely votes against union poli cies. The prestige of all three prin ciples in Scandinavian labor dis putes, management, unions and the government appears to be elevated to the point that edi torial sniping at its savagest must observe decorum. This in itself tends to give an air of moderation, reasonableness and good sense in a showdown, knockout and dragout battle. fM rlpaningw3 Writ
