In the first four months of this year there were four marked increases of this ra dioactive isotope in animal thyroids. Two are readily ex plained. The French tested atomic weapons in the Sahara Desert on February 13 and again on April 1, according to the official announcements at the time. Reach Relative High However, the iodine-131 content of the thyroids of sheep reared around Nash ville, Tenn., reached a rela tive high in January. And after the peak of increased iodine-131 in animal thyroids in many parts of the world following the February ex plosions, there was a second peak which occurred well in advance of the April explo sions. It may be that the atmos pheric fall-out of iodine-131 following a series of atomic bomb explosions comes in two phases, Middlesworth report ed. If so this would explain the two peaks of thyroid iodine-131 between the two sets of atomic tests. But it wouldn't explain the purely local increase in sheep thyroids around Nash ville, Tenn. A second explanation would be new increases in atmospheric iodine-131 not connected with announced ex plosions, Middlesworth added. The remarkable sensitivity of animal thyroids to atmos pheric iodine-131 was illus trated by T(g)1dlesworth's new- JSigiu clays est calculations. after the first Sahara ex plosions on February 13, the thyroids of sheep around Haifa, Israel were taking up the radioactive isotope. Iodine Content Increases Eleven days afterwards the thyroids of cattle in Formosa contained 100 times more iodine-131 than they had in January and earlier in Febru ary. Even the pigs around Middlesworth's own b a i 1 i -wick, Memphis, had an in creased amount in their thy roids. The highest concentration he measured were in the thy roids of sheep in Portugal. By early March the content was at its maximum in sheep in Germany, around London and Nashvillnj.and in cattle around Memphis and in For mosa. Sheep around Munich, Ger many and in Portugal got their highest boosts after the April 1 test explosions, but those around London and Memphis got their highest from the two peaks following the February explosion. Mid dlesworth was unable to ex plain this discrepancy. He didn't have enough data. HELP US! Wa need clothing, shoes, dishes, furniture, and bedding. We Pick Up. HELP OTHERS! The Salvation Army 30 N.

The busi ness mushroomed, aided by Conant's sales aQ service techniques overnight deliv ery service, using looiban players as salesmen, flying a company plane anywhere to close a deal by personal contact. Looking back in retrospect today, Conant observed: We skyrocketed so fast in sales volume, I didn't have a chance to pause and reflect until the steel strike came along andQut a temporary halt on our business when we got down to the bottom of our inventory. All of a sudden we looked around last fall and found our warehouse just about empty and all our assets tied up. I guess to some fel lows in buriness, this would be a desirable situation, but frankly we didn't like it." Worked as Shoe Salesman Salesmanship was not a new thing to Conant. He did his first selling while a high school student here at the age of 15, working as a shoe sales man on Saturday. He amazed the manager one day by com ing up from the budget base ment with his arms filled with 16 pairs of shoes he had sold to one woman. Typical of the small scale on which Conant launched in terstate was one of his first deals. He saw a newspaper ad offering steel for sale in one column and a "steel want ed" ad in another column. "There was a total of 3,480 pounds involved," he recalled. "I made a penny a pound, or $34.60, by making two phone calls, to the seller and to the buyer." But sales volume soared tremendously after that-frorn S500.000 the first year to S4.7 million in 1950. I guess we were younger and more energetic than oth lers in the strong steel market at the time,' Conant said.

ThcQ'stem, named "Ephi," consists of three 125-foot an tca towers, four miles apart, and a central control station, located in an old schoolhouse near Brighton, Colo. The three antenna poles form a triangle, and when a storm occurs, the sfcric, or static, radio signals reach each antenna at a slightly differ ent time, except when a storm occurs at the axact center of the triangle. From the anten nas the signals are sent to the central control station where electronic equipment determines the direction to the lightning source.
