SCIENCE AT WORK
By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York CU.P.) You're go-!
ing to hear more and more about
putting seat belts in automobiles
for safety "s sake, just as there
are seat belts in airliners for the
same reason and which everyone
uses Without question.
Cornell university has started
a campaign to bring them into
general use in cars, under the
slogan: "For safer motoring,
fasten seat belts." The idea is
that they should be in every car
and should be fastened around
all passengers any time the car
is in motion.
Through its aeronautical lab
oratory, the university devel
oped scientific proof that a very
high percentage of the people
killed or injured in automobile
accidents, probably wouldn't
have been even hurt if they had
been buckled into their cars
with belts.
The contention of the Cornell
experts and other safety engi
neers is that motorists and their
passengers will think no more of
fastening a seat belt around
themselves than airplane passen
gers do once they have them in
their cars and once they get ac
customed to having them there.
Anchored to Chassis
And once this happens, auto
mobile manufacturers will be
less skittish on the whole sub
ject of safety devices as of now,
no manufacturer wants to even
suggest that his car might not
be safe no matter under what
conditions. And once all these
things come about when cars
are equipped with safety belts in
the factories the automobile
accident death and injury rate
will drop sharply, the safety sci
entists contend.
Cornell Aeronautical Labora
tory has just published a book
let for popular consumption,
"Automobile Seat Belts A Way
of Living." It contains the A-B-
broidery, iron-ons, toys and nov
elties! Send 25 cents for; your
copy of this r wonderful ; book
now. You'll want to order every
design in it' ,
C"s. which are useful because
some seat belts are already on
the market which cannot do
what a seat belt should do. j
For example, they are at
tached to the seats themselves
and if there is a sudden "decel
eration" caused by a head-on
collision, say the seat and the
passengers attached to it are
thrown forward together, and
the latter are smashed against
steering wheel and instrument
panel.
The proper safety belt is an
chored to the chassis of the car..
It "restrains" only one person
not two or three passengers on
one seat. It is snug enough to al
low no more than four inches of
forward hip .movement, its
closed loop strength is at least
3,000 pounds, its static tensile
strength is no less than 1,500
pounds.
Legislation Planned
The restraint should be "ap
plied to the wearer's pelvic re
gion in a direction rearward and
downward in a line approximate
ly 45 degrees from the horizontal
and parallel to the side of the
car." The buckles should be
foolproof and simple to operate"
the airplane belt buckle is
recommended.
An example of what the labor
atory learned in experiment with
crashing cars containing dum
mies with instruments attached
to show what happened, is this:
In very minor accidents, the
deceleration rate can be more
than two or three "G's." A "G"
is a measurement of gravita
tional force. One "G" of decel
eration would require a force
equalling the weight of the car
passenger to hold him - in his
seat.-
Thus, a head-on collision in
volving only three "G's" would
require a force three times a
passenger's weight to prevent
him from being smashed inside
the car. Hence, both the em
phasis on safety belts and on
strong,' well .anchored.' safety
belts. .
A bill has. been introduced in
Congress to make- safety .belts
Solon Asks Review
Of Satellite Program
- Washington (U.R) Sen. Hen
ry M. Jackson (D-Wash.) today
called for a congressional review
of this country's proposed Earth
satellite program including
plans to share its scientific data
with Russia.
Jackson, a member of the Sen
ate Armed Services Committee,
said he personally opposes "any
exchange of information in this
program" because "the first con
sideration, will be the military
application."
He spoke out after Director
Alan T. Waterman of the Na
tional Science Foundation .had
predicted members of Congress
would back administration plans
to share satellite secrets after
they know "the facts." Water
man said Russia and the rest of
the world would be given only
scientific data with little or no
direct military value.
Southern "Pacific Track
Job Nearly Completed
Portland (U.P.) Southern Pa

nearly completed.
The project includes a 550
foot steel bridge across the
Clackamas river and a mile of
new track. SP said the new track
eliminates curves between Port
land and Oregon City and will
speed up travel of passenger
trains over the route.

bill is going to be introduced in
the New York legislature. -
Most of Nation
In Frying Pan
By UNITED PRESS
Most of the country is baking
again in a heat wave . and
wondering what it's good for.
Midwestern farmers usually
say hot weather is good corn
growing weather. But this time
it's too hot even for the tall corn
of Iowa. Officials estimate that
15 per cent of the state's corn
crop has been scorched. A solid
week of 100-plus temperatures
has led to 24 deaths in Iowa.
All told, more than 50 persons
have died from the heat in the
Midwest.
New England is hoping for
some relief. But the rest of the
country from the plains to the
Atlantic can expect just more
of the same high temperatures.
AH weather forecasters can say
is that it must come to an end
sometime. But they aren't risk
ing any predictions about a
White Christmas.
The south had a tropical storm
to battle instead of the heat
wave. The storm blew into East
ern Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama yesterday, with winds
of more than 60 miles an hour.
At least seven persons died, and
three men are reported missing
on a boat overdue at Pensacola,
Fla.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB
Uranium Bugs Get 'DonT as Advice From Professor,
Albuquerque, N. M. (U.R)
The' final, word of advice given
to novice uranium- hunters' by
the professor of the world's first
uranium-prospecting course was
"Don't."
" John Brady, a University of
New Mexico graduate geologist
and uranium researcher, told
his students that they would be
better off to sink any money they
had into a savings account rather
than a Geiger counter.
- But for those who still have
the fever, he listed the following
basic rules: '
1. Get some information about
uranium prospecting first.
2. Hunt on your leisure time.
Hornbrook
Hornbrook Vacation church
school will be held at. the Meth
odist Community church begin
ning "Aug; 4 and continue for
two weeks. The clases will be
conducted by Marvin Smith and
Bob Stevens of the Student Mis
sionary Council.
' Mrs. Arden Burns returned
from San Francisco last week
where she attended the . cere
mony at the First Christian
church in Oakland, July 22,
where her daughter Jo Ann re
ceived her cap. from Samuel
Merritt hospital school of nurs
ing. '..".
Joan Kutsky is improving
from' an emergency operation at
Emanuel Hospital in Portland,
Ore. Anyone wishing to send
cards .may send them to her at
Room 518.
(Some uranium bugs have, been
known to cast caution aside, quit
their jobs and leave home ex
pecting to strike it rich.)
3. Stay close to a town if
you're not an experienced out
doorsman. 4. Check up on your state
mining laws and be sure you
know the procedure to protect
your mining claim.
The University of New Mexico
started the class after being
swamped with calls from pros
pectors seeking detailed mining
information. Among the students
were doctors, lawyers, engineers,
plumbers, press operators and
housewives from all over the
state.
One man even commuted from
Ardmore, Okla., by air to attend
the twice-a-week classes.
One of the things stressed in
Brazil Coffee Lands
Hit by Hard Freeze
Rio de JanerkT (U.R) In
South America, it's cold weather
that's causing havoc . . . cold
weather which may eventually
have repercussions .in the north.
Frost has struck in the coffee
land of Brazil. Reports said cur
rent frost damage is worse than
the 1953 frost attack which kill
ed or damaged 4,000,000 coffee
trees, arid sent coffee prices
soaring. '
Brazil's agriculture minister
is making a check on the reports
of damage.
the class was not to purchase any
uranium stock before thorough
investigation. Hundreds of com
panies have sprung up in the
western states having uranium
deposits and many are bperated
by speculators who sell stocks at
a penny a share.
Brady said his teachings served
to discourage some of his stu
dents while others went off
more determined than ever to
make a rich haul.
Gulf Coast Storm
Dying in intensity ,
New Orleans, La. (U.R)
The tropical storm dubbed
"Brenda" is losing its punch as
it moves inland through New
Orleans. Brenda struck the gulf
coast near the Louisiana-Mississippi
border wittewinds up to
75 miles an hour . . . near hurri
cane 'force. It spread squalls
over 200 miles ofhe gulf coast.
At least seven persons are dead
or missing as a result of the
tropical blow. The storm lost
much of its force as it moved
inland last night and the
weather bureau said today it
will gradually weaken as it
swings overland.
