Supply of Radium Used to Make Warships Safer By the Associated Press. America’s largest single supply of radium is making the new naval vessels safer and more sink-proof by photographing their steel parts. The Navy owns approximately seven grams of radium, more than any other organization or hospital In the country. Most of it is used in medical treatment, but about two grams are in constant industrial use, naval construction experts said today. Every drive shaft, engine part. piece of armor plate, gun part or other equipment which is more than 12 inches thick must undergo ra dium inspection before it is ap-. proved for use. Powerful X-ray tubes, using 1,000, 000 or more volts, also will penetrate 12 to 15 inches of steel to reveal flaws, but radium is easier to handle. It can be shuttled about the country by parcel post, in a lead casket, while sufficient X-ray equipments would occupy about half a freight car. The technique of making a ra dliun photograph Is simple, the Navy experts explained. The steel to be photographed to find flaws which do not appear on the surface is laid on the floor of the factory building and a sensitive photo graphic plate is placed against it. Then a radium “egg” with one half a gram of the element en cased in lead with a silver shell is placed from 2 to 6 inches away on the opposite side of the steel. The person handling the radium works with a long pair of pliers be hind a lead screen an inch or more thick. The photographic plate is exposed for five minutes and any flaws or imperfections in the steel show up as lines or spots in the picture. Union Officials Barred From Hearing Case Against Members Unprecedented Decision Made by Jurist in - San Francisco Dispute By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.— Two Chicago union executives have been disqualified from hearing mis conduct charges against three 8an Francisco local members in an un precedented decision by Superior Court Judge I. M. Golden. The Jurist yesterday enjoined George Scalese, international presi dent of the Building Service Em ployes’ Union, and Thomas Burke, third international vice president, from sitting as members of a trial board, because, he said, each has a special interest in the matter. Charles Hardy, sr., president of the San Francisco local, and his two sons are Involved in the lengthy dis pute. Suspended by Sealese pend ing trial by the union's executive board, they sought an injunction to prevent the hearing on g:ounds they could not get a fair trial. Judge Golden held that Hardy’s summary suspension was legal be cause it was authorized by the union constitution. He also ruled that Meyer Lewis, Western represent ative of the American Federation of Labor, with which the union is af filiated, is without authority to as sume control of Hardy's local, de spite a power of attorney from Sealese. Five remaining members of the union’s executive board were held eligible to conduct the hearing, which must start here not later than March 5. The Hardys flung accusations of "gangster, racketeer, assassination” at Sealese during the court hearing, but Judge Golden said the charges were beside the issue and were un substantiated. He said the two have a special Interest in the Hardy case, chiefly because Hardy is accused, among other things, of having cir culated disparaging remarks about Sealese. "It has been plainly charged that he (Sealese) murdered or caused SAVE 200 MILES OVERNIGHT BETWEEN WASHINBTON Oufa* t°P On your way Booth?

"I have no doubt that these unfortunate persons met their violent death in the safe precinct* of Chicago, and that some one caused them to be assassinated, but I have no proof that Scalese did it or caused it to be done.” Injuries to pedestrians last year in the District from March, when pedestrian control regulations were placed into effect, to December, showed a decrease of 118 from the total pedestrian Injuries during a similar period In 1988.
