45 Stations To
Check Radiation In
H-Bomb Tests
WASHINGTON, UP) — Govern
ment agencies Friday identified
8 stations where radiation mon
itoring will be carried on during
the coming nuclear tests in the
Pacific.
Data collected at these loca
tions will be analyzed in con
nection with the announced Uni
ted States aim of producing nu
clear weapons with reduced rad
ioactive fallout.
The stations concerned are op
erated variously by the Weather
Bureau, the Atomic Energy Com
mission (AEC) and the U. S. Pub
lic Health Service.
Each of the 45 weather bureau
offices participating is equipped
with a material resembling fly
paper to which catches tiny part
icles falling from the skies.
These papers are sent periodi
cally to a central processing of
fice in New York City where
they are burned, and the residue
is analyzed for radioactivity.
There will be four weather
bureau sampling offices in Alas
ka, at Nome, Fairbanks, Anch
orage and Juneau.
“Too Pretty’ For The Job
NEW YORK, UF> — They might
“die for dear old Rutgers” as the
college saying goes, but gorgeous,
shapely, platinum blonde Joan
Marchesani won’t have to dye
for her dear old job.
Brown-eyed Joan is 19 years
old. Last January she was hired
as a sales agent for Pan American
Airways’ Fifth Avenue office.
Joan, who resides in West New
York, N. J., is a looker. She
stands 5 feet, 4 inches, and mea
sures 36-23-36.
Joan liked her job, the custo
mers liked Joan, and things
went along smoothly until last
week. Then her boss told her
to tone down her makeup and
to start wearing a white blouse
and blue skirt. She did.
This week the boss, she said,
told her he would feel better if
she was a strawberry blonde.
That didn’t seem to be an order,
so Joan retained her platinum
tresses.
On Thursday, she said, she was
told she was “too pretty” for
Pan Am, and was fired verbally.
The Air Transport Division,
brotherhood of railway clerks,
went to bat for Joan.
She showed up Friday at the
airline office with Walter Cole
man, general chairman of the
union, and asked for her job back
and pay for Friday and Thursday.
The airline said it was all a
misunderstanding. A spokesman
said she never was off the pay
roll, platinum hair-do and all.
Soviet Planes
Reported In ^
North Pole Area
WASHINGTON, UF> — United
States weather planes see oc
casional indications that Soviet
aircraft are operating in the
North Pole area.
Crews of weather survey planes
of the U. S. Air Force report
that tell-tale vapor streamers are
spotted from time to time, in
dicating the presence of aircraft.
These sightings of engine ex
haust trails have been noted for
several years, but the fact is
given new significance by Rus
sia’s veto in the United Nations
Friday of the American proposal
for an Arctic inspection plan the
United States, backed by the
great majority of UN members,
offered the proposal as a means
of reducing the danger of sur
prise attack across the -Arctic
region. Secretary of State Dul
les called the veto “tragic”.
The Soviet rejection of the in
spection plan leaves the United
States with no choice except to
continue improvement of its ra
dar warning and bomber patrol
system. However, officials said
that this does not mean that the
Strategic Air Command will
make any change in its policy of
keeping all armed aircraft south
of the 80th parallel. This ex
tends across the nothem rim of
the continent and Greenland and
is removed from Soviet terri
tory by almost 2,000 miles on the
transpolar route.
The Distant Early Warning
(Dewline) now provides between
two and three hours of warning
for getting American bombers in
to action if Russian planes should
come over the Arctic toward
United States and Canadian
cities.
Air Force officials say the
Dewline works. In recent testi
mony before a House subcommit
tee, an official said that “we
have tested the Dewline on many
test flights at various altitudes
and not a single one of the pene
trations went undetected.”
