Kpoatdine to Dr. Paul C,
Aebersold,' director of the
AEC's office of Isotopes de
velopment, it is the neutron's
ability to induce radioactivity
in otherwise inoffensive atoms
that suggests its employment
as detective.

When a neutron hits the nu
cleus of an atom of boron me
tal, for example, the nucleus
becomes agitated and starts

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. " :

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.

and Mrs. Oscar Bonnevler in

tive association in a Multno

throwing off gamma rays.
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.

Tactical

-(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.
Ritter, married, the father
of two and nicknamed Tex
