NEWSPAPER CONFISCATED
IN EAST BERLIN
(ACP)—The Daily Tar Heel,
student newspaper of the Univer
sity of North Carolina, is sub
versive, capitalistic literature, not
fit to be seen by the citizens of
the glorious Democratic Peoples
Republic of East Germany.
there are about six border guards
getting ready to defeat us, prob
ably as a result of the lead story
on women’s rules,” Rodgers said.
At least that’s what the East
German border guards at Check
point Charlie in Berlin told stu
dents Richard Rodgers and Andy
Halton, assistant business man
ager, when they went across the
border from West to East Berlin
during the Christmas holidays,
the newspaper reported.
Rodgers carried an issue on the
trip to take a picture of someone
reading it in sight of the border.
They managed to take the picture
before the border guards confis
cated the paper.

STUDENTS ESCAPE TAX
(ACP)—Arizona State Univer
sity students will not have to pay
city sales taxes on educational
purchases, according to a recent
Superior Court ruling, the State
Press reports.
Judge Charles L. Hardy ruled
that the city of Tempe may not
charge a one per cent tax on
student housing and meal tickets,
performances at Gammage Audi
torium, or bookstore purchases
by students.
The city had contended in its
suit against the Arizona Board
of Regents that taxes should be
paid on such university purchases
because they compete with local
businesses.

‘WOULD MEET THEM TOMORROW’
President Johnson, talking to college students in White House, said that despite the Com

would meet them tomorrow.” The President answered questions on Vietnam, dissent at

Congressmen ‘Smoking ’Mad
Over Mail Poster Dispute
A&M Activation Analysis Lab
To Explore Testing Methods
By JOSEPH E. M OH BAT
WASHINGTON CP) _ A nasty
little backstage Washington wran
gle went into those anti-smoking
posters soon to adorn the sides
of U.S. mail trucks.
By all accounts of reliable gov
ernment sources Wednesday:
The President was irked.
The secretary of agriculture
was unhappy.
The postmaster general was
harassed and nearly sued.
The surgeon general was stub
born.
Tobacco-land congressmen were
smoking-mad.
AND EVEN as the posters pre
pare to go up, it’s virtually im
possible to tell who won. The
dispute already has cost the De
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare half of February —
the month it had reserved to use
the mail trucks to tell Americans:
“100,000 doctors have quit
smoking cigarettes. Maybe they
know something you don’t.”
As a result of the skirmish, the
posters also will carry a newly
printed sticker informing poster-
watchers that the 100,000 doctors
are an “estimate based on sur
veys by National Opinion Re
search Center and U. S. Public
Health Service.”

Talk to the man from General Electric. He repre
sents 130 separate GE “companies” that deal in
everything from space research to electric tooth
brushes. We call them product departments. Each
one is autonomous with its own management and
business objectives. That’s why a job at General
Electric offers the kind of immediate responsibil
ity you might expect to find only in a small busi
ness. Right from the start you get a chance to
demonstrate your initiative and individual capa
bilities. And the more you show us, the faster you
will move ahead. As you do, you’ll find that you
don’t necessarily have to spend a lifetime working
on the same job in the same place. We have opera
tions all over the world. Chances are you’ll get to
try your hand at more than one of them. Our inter
viewer will be on campus soon. If you’re wondering
whether it’s possible to find challenging work in big
business, please arrange to see him. He speaks for
130 “companies.”

An equal opportunity employer
Welfare John W. Gardner wrote
Postmaster General Lawrence F.
O’Brien to reserve one side of 53,-
000 mail trucks for this month.
The Public Health Service de
signed the poster. The Post Of
fice Department’s role, a spokes
man said, was simply to make
sure that it was waterproof and
of proper size.
All went serenely until the end
of January, when the Associated
Press carried a two-paragraph
item about the mail truck cam
paign.
All involved are still pretty
sensitive about what happened
next. None wanted to be quoted
by name. The consensus account:
LAWYERS FOR the tabacco
lobby threatened to sue the Post
Office Department to keep the
posters off the trucks. Post Of
fice referred all questions about
the “100,000 doctors” claim to
Health, Education and Walfare.
Members of Congress from to
bacco-growing states “made
strong personal representations”
to Post Office and Welfare in
protest of the poster.
They happened to be on con
gressional committees that have
much to say about Post Office and
Welfare operations. Finances,
too.
THE AGRICULTURE Depart
ment, which is spending $3.5 mil
lion a year for tobacco research,
took no official position.
A new method for testing a
space age titanium alloy with nu
clear energy — which could save
many thousands of dollars — will
be explored by Texas A&M’s Acti
vation Analysis Laboratory.
The study, funded by NASA at
$19,283, may lead to a method of
improving the reliability of ti
tanium alloy pressure vessels for
future spacecraft applications.
William E. Kuykendall, Jr., as
sistant research engineer in
A&M’s Activation Analysis Lab
oratory, explains that titanium
alloy used in pressure vessels ex
ists as a mixture of two phases—
alpha and beta. In the proper
form, the alpha phase is evenly
dispersed throughout the titanium
alloy. In the unacceptable form,
the alpha is present as oxygen-
rich elongated “stringers.” The
stringers may seriously affect the
strength of the titanium alloy.
This is where activation analy
sis enters the picture: By bom
barding a piece of titanium alloy
with fast neutrons (which are
nuclear particles produced by the
Laboratory’s accelerators), some
of the oxygen atoms are converted
to a radioactive form of nitrogen.
These nitrogen-16 atoms give off
a characteristic radiation which
can be detected.
“A titanium alloy pressure ves
sel forging can cost $80,000 to
manufacture. These pressure
vessels are currently tested by
potentially destructive methods,”
said Kuykendall.
Testing by activation analysis,
which leaves the object unscathed,
may be able to improve the re
liability of the pressure vessel
which are actually used on a mis
sion.
In the initial six-month explor.
atory study, small pieces of ti
tanium alloy will be analyzed, \
Later larger pieces may be map
ped to detect differences in crys
talline structure and oxygen con
tent which indicate the presence
of alpha stringers.
At the A&M Activation Analy- j
sis Laboratory pneumatic tubes j
similar to those used in depart- \
ment stores zip the sample into]
the path of fourteen million elec-j
tron volt neutrons and then zip
it back to a counting device. This,
system is automated and com
puter controlled.
Kuykendall believes activation
analysis may have a number of
other applications in testing the
materials used in the space pro
gram. Today, the steel industry
employs activation analysis to
monitor the oxygen level in its
products.

NEWMAN’S STILL CHAMP
(ACP)—Rest easily, girls. Paul
Newman’s still the champ—at
egg-eating, that is.
Newman’s imaginary record of
50 eggs was threatened, however,
when Louisiana State University
sophomore Mike Patterson, in an
heroic attempt, gobbled 41 in an
hour, the Daily Reveille reports.
Patterson took his run at the
record, established by Newman
in the movie “Cool Hand Luke,”
before a cheering crowd of G6
men on the basement floor of
Hodges Hall.
The psychology major appar
ently had claimed he could down
the eggs and received appropriate
challenges from men on the floor,
About 15 of them were said to
have a special interest in the
event.
Patterson, of medium build and
weighing about 180 pounds, start
ed fast, swallowing more than’',
30 the first half hour. But then
the pace slowed.
“The turning point was at 25,'
halfway,” he said. “Then I started
feeling real full.”
He walked around the room
Newman-style, listened to advice
from trainers, and attempted tc
open up some room by burping,
But with one minute to go, he
had downed only 40. He decided
then to try to gulp them all but
gave up in the attempt for fear
of choking.
Any regrets? “I’ll try again
about a month after the second
semester begins,” Patterson said.
