Science 5 thinks it is vi- tal for every i one t o know j those A-B-C's f m this atomic veioi tmui they are. The Hanford atomic reac tors are cooled by water taken from the Columbia riv er which is then returned to the river. Like all river water, it contains traces of minerals. One of them is zinc. When the water goes in to the plant the zinc is stable, inert and harmless. But when the water rejoins the river, the zinc in it is not the same zinc. It has been robbed of its stability, it is no longer inert. It is radio- Envoy's Daughter, Friend Missing . Providence, R.I.-(UPD-Show business ambitions may have caused the guitar - playing daughter of the U.S. ambassa dor to Argentina to drop from sight with a fellow coed, po lice said today. Joan Beaulac, 19, daughter of diplomat Willard L. Beau lac, and Linda Talbot, 17, of Woodstock, Vt., boarded a train for New York after vanishing Saturday from the Rhode Island School of De sign, police said. Letters mailed by the at tractive girls indicated they wanted to stay away for at least five months. But friends of the coeds told police the girls possibly wanted to enter show business or just visit friends in New York. Miss Beaulac played the guitar and sang folk songs in stage productions at the de sign school. Police issued an eight-state alarm for the pair and asked special help from New York police, who were reported concentrating on the Green wich Village and Broadway theater areas.

Scientists Check Trail Thirty miles below the plant, water is taken from the river and distributed over a considerable area to irri gate fields and pastures. In the fields are grown peas, to matoes, o k r a, string beans, corn and grapes. In the pas tures cattle graze. People eat the vegetables and consume the milk and flesh of the cattle. R. W. Perkins and J. M. Niesen of the Hanford atomic laboratories sleuthed along this trail from beginning to end that is, from river water to people using ex tremely sensitive devices and techniques for detecting radio active zinc no matter where it was. They found it in the river water as it left the plant. They found it in the irrigation ditches, in all the vegetables as they grew in the irrigated fields, in the grass of the pastures where the cattle ate, in the milk and flesh of the cattle, and finally in the peo ple who ate all these things. In reporting this sleuthing to the American Association for the Advancement of Sci ence, , Perkins and Nielsen emphasized that the amounts of radioactive zinc which they found were truly faint traces in all cases. Draw UP Tables Experts have drawn up tab les of "permissable limits" on the amounts o f radioactive substances which people and animals can take in their food and drink without being harmed. The amounts Perk ins and Nielsen found were tiny fractions of the permis sible limit for radioactive zinc. The Hanford atomic plant is operated for the govern ment by the General Electric Company, which over the years has taken elaborate pre cautions and conducts con stant testing to make sure it produces no hazards to the surrounding countryside and the users of Columbia river water, including the fish therein. But scientists were impress ed with the simplicity of the demonstration of how . first a trace mineral, then vegeta bles, animals, and finally peo ple become radioactive in an inevitable chain. This is how it works, for your future guid ance as the atomic age devel ops more and more, touching more and more people. Magnavox Stereo 3 WAYS Widest Choice Today! 1.
