Mechanics Want
Fallout Protection
In Servicing Planes
WASHINGTON UR — Airline
mechanics yesterday urged the
government to order special pro
tection tor workmen servicing
airplanes subject to heavy doses of
radioactive fallout from Soviet nu
clear tests,
Frank Heisler, airline coordi
nator for the International Assn,
of Machinists, AFL-CIO, reported
growing concern among mechanics
represented by the IAM over the
effects of radioactive matter
sucked into jet engines they serv
ice.
Fallout dangers are among
topics due for discussion by 125
delegates to an IAM airline con
ference here. The delegates repre
sent about 43,000 IAM airline
mechanics and service personnel
in the United States and Canada.
Jet liners traveling at 30,000
feet and above- draw in t sub
stantial amount of radioactive
material floating in the strato
sphere as a result of the recent
Soviet tests,” Heisler said.
“A number of foreign airlines
have recognized the danger of
this material to their ground serv
ice personnel. These lines provide
decontamination protection for
their mechanics, in addition, per
mit their personnel to work on
such engines only two hours at
a time.
“We believe it is essential that
U.S. and Canadian airlines follow
similar procedures. We are bring
ing this problem to the attention
of the U.S. Federal Aviation
Agency.”

To Survey Kotzebue
Airport lor Lengthening
Tryck, Nymann & Associates of
Anchorage have been selected by
the state to perform special engi
neering work for the Ralph Wien
Memorial Airport at Kotzebue, it
was announced recently by Eu
gene Roguszka, director, Division
of Aviation.
The work outlined in the agree
ment is primarily technical, and
involves surveying and obtaining
data pertinent to establishing a
5,000-foot landing strip at Kot
zebue. Roguszka indicated that it
was intended to obtain sufficient
information now to determine
whether the existing east-west
landing strip, which is somewhat
less than 4,000 feet long, can be
economically extended, or wheth
er the north-south landing strto
should be developed. The landing
strips are inadequate at present
for the aircraft used by the air
lines which provide scheduled
service to Kotzebue. Wien Alaska
Airlines operates F-27 airc^ft
from Fairbanks to the northern
trading center and tourist spot,
and Alaska Airlines operates
DC-4 planes from Anchorage.
The report is to be submitted
by the engineering firm in 60
days.

Head for Figures
COI/CHBSTER, England U* —
How many fives in 30?
The dog barked six times.
How many shillings in a pound?
Twenty, the dog barked.
Bingo, a canine with a head
for figures, was put through his
paces by a class of schoolchil
dren Monday and passed with 98
per cent success.
The 18-month-old retriever was
brought to Gosbeck Primary
School to show the kids what a
bow-wow he is at arithmetic.
For half an hour die children
fired questions at him—50 addi
tions, subtractions, divisions.
Each time Bingo barked back
the answers.
“There’s no trickery,” said the
dog’s owner, Marcus La Touche.
“He can count to 100.”
Headmaster Percy Palmer shook
his head in wonder.
“It’s hard to believe,” Palmer
said, “but I watched closely. Bin
go’s intelligence appeared gen
uine enough.”
Only once did Bingo muff it.
“What’s four substracted from
four?” a girl asked him.
Bingo barked four times.

for themselves.”
