Today auto exhaust and air pollution. By FRED DANZIG United Press Correspondent New York (IP) Want to make a million dollars? Just figure out a simple, in expensive gadget that will eliminate automobile exhaust fumes. The need is greater than ever, for auto exhaust has be come the major cause of ur ban air pollution. The problem is most acute in Los Angeles, where nearly three million vehicles burn up five-and-a-half million gallons of gasoline each day. That's a lot of gasoline, and a lot of smog, for Los Angeles' geo graphic position makes for poor natural "ventilation." Autorities have found that exhaust vapor, under the sun's ultra-violet rays, forms an eye - irritating, rubber -cracking smog. What it does to human lungs is something scientists are busily trying to pin down. Traffic Police Suffer Carbon monoxide is anoth er part of the problem. Dr. Morris Jacobs, director of New York City's Air Pol lution Control Laboratory, has said policemen stationed at busy intersections in some major cities suffer from vary ing degrees of carbon mon oxide poisoning. The cumula tive effect of such exposure is another medical unknown. In Chicago, tests on gaseous wastes revealed that in a crowded traffic area, as much as 50 parts of carbon monox ide per million parts of air have been found. That can be a relatively strong dose for people with respiratory or cardiac ailments. Dr. Edward C. Rosenow Jr., president of the Los Angeles County Medical Association has said heavy carbon monox ide concentrations in the air increases anxiety and tension among people suffering from respiratory or heart diseases if it does nothing else to them. Three-Front Attack In the fight against auto exhaust, the Automobile Man ufacturers Association has spent more than $4 million on research since 1954. The at tack covers three points: Finding a device for shut ting off fuel, isolating carbu retor valves when the car slows down. Dealing with the exhaust side of the engine through "afterburners," or catalytic mufflers and filters. Development of a filter to eliminate smog causing hydro-carbon in our fuels. One problem here is that every car has different types of hydrocarbons in its exhaust and we still don't know how much and which types are harmful. Ford and General Motors have developed gas strainers which show promise but re- EDITOR DIES Meridian, Miss. (IP) The owner and editor of the Daily Meridian Star, James Henry Skewes, 70,: died here Tues day. Skewes headed the Sun shine Press, Inc., which owns several newspapers" in New Mexico, Missouri, Colorado and Mississippi. For many years, he was part owner of the Laurel (Miss.) Leader-Call. quire more experimentation. All companies have developed carburetors which cut down on the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust principally when the car is slowing down or idling. Unfortunately, re search later showed unburned fuel was produced in exhausts during acceleration and crui sing periods, so carburetor savings were reduced. . - While research and experi ments continue, the AMA be lieves vehicle exhaust pollu tion can be cut down some what if people keep their cars in good running condition and remember that this form of pollution is invisible. Not Practical Answer In buses and trucks that use diesel oil, experiments indi cate fumes can be minimized if a mixture, of propane and diesel oil is used. But, for var ious reasons, this is not a practical solution. Many researchers say the J problem cannot be solved un less we find a replacement for the Internal combustion en gine. And one authority has said, perhaps out of frustra tion, "Let's take the gas tanks off all cars and we'll lick this problem." Whatever the solution, it won't be cheap. Said John M. Campbell, chairman of the AMA's . re search group, "an exhaust treatment program will be very costly. It will be costly in terms of first cost. It will be costly in terms of install ation. It will be costly in terms of maintenance and inspection." Georgia-Pacific To Build Mill at Toledo Portland OP) The Georgia Pacific Corporation is plan ning a new gang mill to be constructed at the firm?s To ledo, Ore., lumber division, which is expected to produce 80,000 board feet of lumber a day. Robert B. Pamplin, Georgia Pacific president, said cost would be more than $300,000. He said the mill would be of the whole-log type, employing 28 men a shift. u7 g Pleasure Boats Reach Mouth of Columbia Astoria OP) Fourteen stur dy pleasure boats reached the mouth of the Columbia river Tuesday night, tying up at host berths here and at Ilwaco, Wash. They had a Coast Guard escort for the last part of the 512-mile journey from Clarks- ton, Wash. The big pleasure boat cruise was undertaken to promote recreational boating on Pa cific Northwest rivers. First white men to Settle in Arkansas were Frencn trad ers, who, in 1936, established a trading post which is now marked by a state park.
