' Woman Loses Appeal in Suit For Leg Injury Salem -IUP&- A woman who sought $60,000 general dam aees from the Rose City Tran- sit co. In Portland for a tum ble from a bus lost her appeal in the State Supreme Court Wednesday. . ;The court threw out the ap peal of Harriet L. Baker and affirmed the Multnomah County Circuit Court ruling of Judge James W. Crawford. The woman had also sought 'special damages to pay for medical bills incident to a cut on her lee. The woman started to enter a bus in downtown Portland but upon learning that it was headed for the garage she stepped off backwards and slipped on what she claimed to be mud and debris on the bus step. Insufficient Evidence Justice Hall S. Lusk wrote that her testimony was "meag er" and there was insufficient evidence to establish negll gence on the part of the driv er or the bus company. Lusk said there was nothing In the case to suggest notice to the driver the likelihood of mud accumulating on the step and he could "scarcely be ex pected to anticipate the pres ence of leaves In the month of February." Lusk added that the mud and leaves couldn't have been very conspicuous because the woman testified she didn't notice them, when she first stepped on. "To require the driver to examine the step every time the bus made a stop would be to impose too high a measure of care" on the driver, Lusk said. " : Lost Firl Cat ' This was the second case growing out of the same acci dent, and the same leg cut. She lost the first one on a con tention that the step had 'a rough metal edge. The court ruled against Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Bonnevler in favor of the Dairy Coopera tive association in a Multno mah county breach of contract case. -: ' ' i 1 The Bonrieviers had sought $10,000 damages which : was set ' aside In Circuit Judge Frank J.

Suppose manufacturers were required to wrap or coat all explosives such as dyna mite with boron. Then offi cials with portable neutron beam and radiation detection equpiment could quickly spot hidden explosives by the tell tale gamma rays. ' This suggets a simple way of examining the mountains of luggage at airports. It also suggests a possible means of watching for smuggled atomic explosives such as plutonlum. Plutonium normally emits alpha particles. But these par ticles are non-penetrating and would be stopped by the wooden sides of an ordinary packing crate. Neutrons, however, would pass almost unhindered , thru the wood, excite penetrating gamma radiation in the plu tonlum, and thus expose its presence. Aebersold said the neutron detective beam technique could be used to compare seized packages of opium and determine whether they came from the same source. Contains Trace Elements All plant or animal tissue contains; so - called trace ele ments . tlny amounts, say, of zinc, cobalt, manganese, or copper. These metals under neutron bombardment, give off distinctive radiations.: Aebersold said amounts of trace elements no greater than one part In a billion can be spotted : by . neutron techni ques. , .The. detective ' beam might not be able to say whe ther a package of opium came from China or Malaya or samewhere else. : -j . But It would disclose, Ae bersold said, whether a bit of the drug found on a narcotic addict came from the same placeas a supply seized from a suspected peddler. The neutron detective beam similarly could Identify bits of tobacco, or threads of. ny lon or dacron, as to source. Nylon from one plant con tains trace elements in differ ent proportions than .nylon from another factory,: Aeber sold said Many a criminal case, he said, has been solved with the help of just such clues as the neutron detective would be able to provide. Portland State Graduate School Plan Endorsed Portland - IUPD - The State Board of Higher Education has endorsed a proposed grad uated school of social work at Portland State College and ap proved sale of $7.3 million in general obligation bonds for campus building projects, - -y The. proposed graduate school was labeled an im portant part" of the board's 1961-63 budget request before the legislature. The Ways and Means Committee in Salem Tuesday night approved $167,. 000 for the school to start next year. To Remedy Deficiency The board said the proposed school would remedy "an out standing deficiency In pro fessional training." - 1 The bonds will finance dor mitories and other ' campus projects that pay . for , them, selves. i The board authorized con tract awards for a $1.6 million dormitory for the University of Oregon, a $1 million dormi tory at Oregon State, a $640, 000 residence hall at Oregon College - of Education and a $440,000 dormitory addition at Eastern Oregon college.

Nellis Air Force "Base, Nev. -(UPD-The needle-nosed F100F fighter shot straight up into the sky.' and the altimeter swept quickly around the dial 1,000 feet, 2,000 feet ... Air swelled the girdle-like belt around my stomach and legs. The dial on the Instru ment panel read 4.5 Gs. The twin-seat fighter, Maj. E. E. (Tex) Ritter at the front seat controls, had just swept in over the barren desert floor north of Las Vegas at some thing over 500 miles an hour. Ritter took it in toward the barely visible target at just about 200 feet off the ground -just as he would in combat to avoid enemy radar detec tion. Up, up the fighter climbed - 9,000, 10,000 - and the in tercom came to life. . "The drop is . . . now." And at 12,000 feet Ritter flipped the plane over on its back. Looking in the direc tion ' that should be "down" was the blue, almost cloudless sky. The brownish desert was where "up" should have been. At the instant Ritter spoke and began maneuvering the plane out of Its 12,000 foot vertical ascent, a nuclear weapon - If one had been aboard - would hate separat ed from the fighter. The weapon would have climbed straight up along the original line of flight for thousands of feet, then would have lost mo mentum and fallen in. a straight line back to earth. Protects Pilot The maneuver protects the pilot, It would have put Ritter far from- the target area be fore the blast went off. The pull of the G-forces - 4.5 times the pull of gravity -during the simulated drop was routine to Ritter, but startling, and even a little fearful, for me. Without the pressure of the automatically inflating G-sult strapped tight ly to me, I probably would have blacked out.
