Traps Being Set
To Catch Moths
University Park, Pa. (UPD-
The U. S. Department of Ait
riculture lg setting 10,000
traps this summer over an
8,225-aquare-mile area in cen
tral and eastern Pennsylvania.
Department agents are try
ing to round up the. gypsy
moth, a devastating insect
that can turn hardwood for
ests into a shambles.
Phillip M. Schroeder, the
area pest control supervisor,
heads the trapping expedition,
which is being conducted in
cooperation with Pennsylva
nia State university's agricul
tural extension division and
the Pennsylvania department
of agriculture.
The moth traps being used
in the program are, in them
; selves, unique. They are hol
lovi:. metal cylinders which
have a fly paper lining. Eight
inches long and four inches In
diameter, the traps are not
exterminating devices, but
are used merely to determine
the presence of gypsy moths.
Once a moth is trapped in
a given area, then the sur
rounding woodlands will be
sprayed with' an insecticide.
Fallout Low in
South Hemisphere
Washington - (Science Serv
ice) - Radioactive fallout from
nuclear test explosions is
"considerably lower" in the
Southern than in the North'
em Hemisphere, four Naval
Research laboratory scientists
confirmed here.
They said studies of the
debris thrown into the atmos
phere . when nuclear bombs
ere exploded also showed that
air in the stratosphere mixes
only slowly across the equa
tor. They compared the
emounta of radioactive tung-
eten-185 and strontium-90 in
the air at various times after
the 1958 nuclear tests in the
Pacific.
The usefulness of tungsten
185 as a tracer of fallout from
the Hardtack test series is
rapidly nearing an end be
cause most of the element's
radioactivity has disappeared.
The report on radioactive con
tamination of the atmosphere
in Science is made by Drs. L.
B. Lockhart Jr., R. L. Patter
son Jr., A. W. Saunders Jr.
and R. W. Black.
Devices May Lower
Television Costs
New York - (Science Serv
ice) - The little radio was
made of two tiny new devices
called "compactrons," yet it
sounded as good as a fair
sized table radio.
Shown to reporters here,
the radio was compared favor
ably with a five-tube radio. It
was said to surpass a seven
transistor radio.
The compactron is a tiny,
single unit that can perform
electronic functions now done
by as many as three separate
electron-control devices. Com
pany engineers said the de
vices' multi-function operation
end small size would help
make color television less
bulky and less expensive. Ten
compact-ons could replace 15
tubes and three diodes or 24
transistors and 11 diodes used
in modern sets.
The compactrons, which
look like conventional tubes,
are now in pilot production
in Owensboxo, Ky.
Powerful Magnet
Planned for Lab
Washington - (Science Serv
ice) - A new national re
search facility containing the
world's most powerful magnet
will . be built at Cambridge,
Mass., for study of the funda
mental properties of matter
at temperatures near absolute
zero, which is 459.7 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit.
The Massachusetts Institute
of Technology will operate
the facility under a multi
million dollar contract with
the Air Research and Develop
ment command of the Air
Force. The Air Force an
nounced the project as a step
to fill a void in the facilities
available to the scientific
world for extremely high,
continuous magnetic fields.
The laboratory is expected
to be completed in 1964, An
initial investment of $5.6 mil
lion for construction and man
agement of the program will
be made during the Federal
fiscal year 1081.
Soap Said Harmless
To Eczema Sufferer
Chlcago-(Sclence Servlce)
Eczema patients may use ordi
nary toilet soap without fear
of making their skin disease
worse, five Cleveland physi
cians report after a one-year
study of 250 patients with
four different kinds of skin
rashes. Drs. Richard B. Stou
ghton, Lew W. Potts, William
Clendennlng, Stuart Fisher
and Morton Kress, University
hospital, collaborated on the
report, which appears in the
Journal of the American
Medical association.
