OSU Scientists To Study Fuels For Toxic Action Corvallis Rocket fuels of the type used to launch the spacecrafts piloted by As tronauts Glenn and Carpen ter will be studied for their poisonous effects by Oregon Slate university scientists. Dr. Chih H. Wang, OSU professor of chemistry in charge of the project to inves tigate the toxic action of three rocket fuels, said OSU sci entists were awarded the one year $95,000 U. S. Army con tract because they will tag the chemicals with radioisotopes. Fuels Are Traced Using the radioisotopes, small amounts of the rocket fuels can be traced through the bodies of lower species of animals, such as rats, or other organisms. Rocket fuels under study will be hydrazine, 1,1-dimcth-ylhydrazine (known as UD Mll) and pentaborane-9. Pen-taborane-9 poses special re search problems. Dr. Wang noted, because it catches afire as soon as it is exposed to the air. As an end result, scientists of the OSU Science Research institute aim to find an anti dote to overcome the poison ous effect of the rocket fuels. Rocket fuels affect the nerv ous system; but the "why" and "how" is not known, Dr. Wang said. To handle the sensitive fuels, a special laboratory and equipment were construc ted in the physics-chemistry building on campus. One piece of equipment is an 18 x 30 inch exposure chamber where minute quantities of the chemicals may be safely used. Expensive Material Dr. Wang reported it will cost S4.000 to obtain one gram of tritium-labelled pen laborane necessary for exper- ' imentation. i Dr. R. S. McCutcheon. pro- fessor of pharmacology, is al j ternate principal investigator I of the project. Assisting will I be Dr. D. J. Reed, assistant ! p r o f e f sor. radiochemistry; and Dr. Prank Dost, pharma cologist. Dr. T. H. Parsons, associate professor of chemis try and boron chemist, will serve as consultant. filtration courses the train ing will go on to midnight or later. The second battalion was nosed out last year by three tenths of a point by the first battalion, 414th regiment of Corvallis, as the outstanding battalion at the huge camp. Colonel Rush stated, "The first battalion has won for the last time and it will be the second battalion that will spearhead the 414th regiment all the way this year. This is going to be our year."
