Labels Changed For Sweeteners Washington, D.C. - Persons on sugar-restricted diets will find it much easier to distin guish artificially sweetened canned fruits from those packed in sugar syrup under special standards developed by the Food and Drug admin istration. Under the new standards, the words "artificially sweet ened" will , appear on the la bel as part of and ahead of the name of the fruit, FDA of ficials said. The standards will become effective in about 3 months unless stayed by objections of persons adversely affected and will apply to artificially sweetened peaches, apricots, pears; cher;ies, fruit cocktail, and figs. . The new standards permit use of a water solution of a safe nonnutritive artificial sweetener in place of the us ual syrup to meet the needs of persons on sugar-restricted diets. In addition to the "promi nent identification of such fruits as "artificially sweet ened," the labels will include the common name of artificial sweetener, its percentage by weight, and the number of calories in an average serving of the canned product. .

New Jersey Woman Works With Eight Thousand Mice By GAY PAULEY XJPI Women's Editor New York-dlPt-Af ter hours. Peggie Coufos of Teaneck, N.J., is the first to jump at the sight of a mouse. But on the job, she works with 8,000 mice without flinching. Mrs. Coufos is a "mouse doctor." Her laboratory in a pharmaceutical firm in May wood, N.J., tests mice in an anti-cancer campaign. Mrs. Coufos gives each mouse a thorough physical examina tion and tests for salmonellae, an epidemic infection which can hamper research. If she pronounces a tmouse healthy, it goes on to the breeding labs. The firm - Charles Pfizer -is raising what it believes is the first pure strain of mice in the United States. When the pedigrees are established, malignant tumors are trans planted, to the mice for study. Mouse Pediatrician About 20,000 mice are test ed in her lab every year.

This is her first job, which she began last June. "Am I afraid of mice? Oh, and how!" she said. "I was squeamish at first, because I'd never handled mice be fore. But I got used to them. I got the purple heart the first week I got bitten so many times. But soon she learned how to handle the animals "gent ly! and now has a pet white mouse which she named "Dumbo" because it has big ears. He has lots of personality, she .said, "but still, I don't give him an opportunity to bite me, and I'd never take him home. I'd be scared of a mouse at home." Has she ever lost a mouse? "Luckily, no." she said. "I've heard how they've got ten loose in other labs, but not in mine. We keep them in large glass jars so there's not much danger of their run ning around." rler nusband, Thomas, a real estate salesman, thinks her job is "humorous." "We're so completely op posite in jobs that he can't help being interested.

Choice of proofs Phone SP 25238 Women Scientists Aid Men On Problems By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press International Washington -d'PD- Women may not be driving man to the moon, but a lot certainly are helping in efforts to put him there. Women sci t i s t s and re searchers add a fern i n i n e touch to pro grams sending satellites and roc kets aloft to explore the Patricia Wiggins m y s teries of space. They are astronomers, biologists, physicists, mathme maticians, chemists, drafts men, physiologists and audi ologists - to name a few classifications. Besides running homes and raising families, (these women are charting "road maps" to the moon; designing electronic brains for missiles and rock ets; developing foods for space-chanber dining; comput ing orbits for man-made satel lites; analyzing cosmic rays and drafting missile parts. Take Dr. Nancy Roman, a top-flight astronomer whose work starts where "space lets off" at the Naval Research Laboratory here. She's as familiar with electromagnetic spectrums as most women are with bobby pins. Nancy includes among her tasks charting "road maps" to the moon. Working with an 84-foot radio telescope, the largest of its kind in the world, she supplies, for per sons tracking rockets through space, data to help differen tiate man-made projectiles from natural phenomena in the wide open spaces. Inter-service rivalry takes a back seat to science where her work is concerned. One recent customer for one of Nancy's road maps was the Army, before the launching of Pioneer III. Nancy also measures tem peratures on the moon at dif ferent wave lengths to find out what the surface of the moon is like-"fairly important if we ever get there." Noise Tests Or take Women's Air Force Maj. Elizabeth "Betsy" Guild. Stationed as an audiologist at the Wright Air Development Center's Aeromedical Labora tory, Dayton, O., she has flown more than 100 hours in high-speed jet aircraft, measuring noise levels at su personic -speed. Her concern is not only psychological-how noise af fects pilots and crews-but practical-how to retain effec tive radio communication in spite of screaming engine or wind noises. Her work one day may help make that trip to the moon a quieter one for the traveler, Another space woman is Mrs. Helen Hayes, who got into space work via the ocean. Formerly an oceanographist with the Fish and Wildlife Service studying oyster life in Chesapeake Bay, , she now keeps a biologists eye on Navy research contractors, ex perimenting with getting oxy gen to future spacemen by the same manner that oysters get it: oxygen-producing algae. Scientific assistant to the chief of the Biology. Branch of the Office of Naval Re search, Mrs. Hayes saw to it that yeast experiment samples went up with the Navy's Van guard to measure gasseous ex changes during the flight. WAF Engineer Dr. Lillian A. McNally, a WAF first lieutenant, keeps busy as a chemical engineer at the Air Force missile test site at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., developing fuels and oxidizers for rocket pro pellants. And mathematician Mrs. Marion Camille Sims, one of MOTOGH 120 Eost Mom Si 4l of Space Age a bevy of women at the Army's Ballistic Missile Agen cy in Huntsville, Ala., cranks out data from one of the most advanced electronic brains concerning the velocity of sat ellite launching vehicles. Beatrice Finkelstein, physi ologist, and food chemist, is more interested in the men in space machines than in the machines themselves. She's spent the past six years on pioneer nutrition research studies which have resulted in ' 12 frozen aircraft meals and 10 canned and unfrozen meals designed to keep space and jet travelers well fed. Also at the Wright Devel opment Center in Dayton, she works on the premise that variety in meals is even 'more essential in the confines of a space cabin than in an earth bound dining room.
