1 MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dford, Oron, ThurIiy, January 2, I'M -. tig j$ W3E3 SMOG ELIMINATOR - An afterburning apparatus to elim inate 90 per cent of the smog-producing hydrocarbons in automobile exhaust gases is shown being fitted to the under side of a test car, by its inventor, Dr. Stuart Ridgway. The device was presented at the SAE convention in Detroit. This is just one of several afterburners being experimented with in the battle against smog and air pollution. Cost, including installation, has been estimated at about $150. 200 Sleepless Hours Ended; Man Goes Into Sound Sleep New York-dTD-Disc jockey Peter Tripp slept "man's soundest sleep" today, com pleting a 200-hour sleepless vigil for the sake of science. Tripp, 32, ended his wake-a-thon at 7:14 o'clock Wednes day night. An hour later he fell into a deep sleep at the Astor Hotel after physicians assured him he had broken all records for scientifically con trolled wakefulness. "Now he's sleeping man's soundest sleep," said Dr. Louis J. West, who heads the team of scientists watching Tripp. "He has done some thing no man has done be fore, and it's fantastic." The scientists here did not recognize the wake-a-thon of disc jockey Dave Hunter of Jacksonville, Fla. Hunter be gan his vigil two hours be fore Tripp and has vowed to stay awake for 225 hours, but his experiment has not been scientifically , controlled or documented. Another Gives Up A third disc jockey, Red Evans, of Tallahassee, Fla., tried to stay awake 200 hours but gave up at 190 hours and 43 minutes on advice of his doctor. He had developed a headache. West said he would awaken Tripp at 11 a.m. (e.s.t.), his usual rising time, for some psychiatric observations and medical tests after 15 hours of sleep. But he said he ex pected Tripp to go back to sleep for 8 or 10 hours. Even while sleeping, Tripp was working for science. He dropped off too quickly Wednesday night for arrange ments for a recording of his brain waves to be completed. But his pulse, body tempera ture and other physical activ ities were being measured. West said he did not believe Tripp "any harm which sleep could not erase. He said the experiment had proved that "there is a measurable disor ganization of mental func tions tantamount to a major personality change when, a great deal of sleep is lost." Belligerent and Submissive "Tripp vacillated between belligerence and submissive ness," he said. "There was a progressive disturbance in his thinking and feeling, a de teriorating in his perform ance tests that "3s getting worse and worse. Prolonged loss of sleep is not good for anybody, and I can testify to that." The scientist likened Tripp's experiment to some of the pioneering , volunteer Work done in the fields of yellow fever, polio, and cancer re-' search. Tripp had started off with no stimulation not even cof fee. But since Monday he has been taking a chemical stimu lant in pill form as a part of the scientific tests. He ad mitted he probably couldn't have gone on without the pills and the presence of his wife and friends. "I've learned one major thing," Tripp said. "You can't stay awake alone. You need someone there to keep you awake, to keep telling you 'Up, boy, up'." Mexico Seizes Eight Airlines Mexico City -UP1- The gov ernment seized Mexico's eight airlines and placed telephone exchange buildings under heavy police guard today in an attempt to halt the spread of labor unrest across te na tion. The government stepped in to the 6 - day - old nationwide pilots strike Wednesday night after tourist agencies reported the domestic tourist trade had been cut 75 per cent. A .government spokesman said a general administrator, to be paid by the airlines, would be appointed to assume control of the airlines and get the planes back in the air. ADVICE TOO GOOD Boston OIPD On the blotter of a suburban police depart ment are these two entries by patrolman Joe Falvey: "7:10 p.m. A woman on North Pleasant street called and said she had a skunk in her cellar. I told her to get some meat scraps and make a trail-from the open cellar door to the back of her yard. Told her to watch from the window and when skunk followed the trail of meat scraps, to close the cellar door gently. "8:40 p.m. - The woman on North Pleasant street called again. She reported she did like I told her with the meat scraps and now she has two skunks in her cellar." fat fyem&t (9ntf...
