'Pill' Broadcasts Commentary on Digestive Trad New York (U.R) A radio pill which can broadcast a running commentary as it passes through the human digestive tract was displayed Monday by its scien tific inventors.

The pill is a plastic capsule about one and one-eighth inches long and four-tenth of an inch in diameter. Inside it is a tran sistor oscillator whose frequen cy is modified continually by the variations in pressure to which it is exposed. One end of the capsule is a pressure sensitive rubber diaphragm which trans mits those pressure changes to the broadcast unit. Engineered by RCA The pill was developed and demonstrated by Dr. Vladimir K. Zworykin, affiliate in bio physics in the Medical Electron ics Center of the Rockefeller Institute and Honorary vice president of the Radio Corp. of America, and Dr. John T. Farrar, chief of the gastroenterology sec tion of the new Veterans Admin istration Hospital and assistant professor of clinical medicine at Cornell University College of Medicine.

Tuesday, April 9, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Nordic Unity Meeting Topic Helsinki, Finland (U.R) The foreign ministers of Fin land,, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland met here Monday to discuss Nordic unity. The meet ing coincided with a series of Soviet atomic threats aimed at Denmark and Norway. The five nations, members 'of the Nordic council, did not place the threats on their formal agen da, but informed sources said new Soviet moves in the cold war may be the major topic of the secret discussions. It was doubtful the five coun tries could reach a policy decis ion on the issue which they could publish in a communique since Sweden and Finland are "neutral" nations while the oth er three are members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion. Iceland came in for its share of Soviet propaganda blasts last year but has escaped the new campaign which has raked west ern Europe. However Sweden has been the objective of recent Soviet verbal attacks for its "unfriendly at- , titude."
