-Indiana Evening Gazette, July 22, 1967.1 In Interest Of Car SafetyScientists, Engineers Pounding, Bending, Breaking Many Bones PHILADELPHIA (AP) Scientists and engineers at Franklin Institute are pounding, bending and breaking bones with the aim of making the family car a safer vehicle. Under a $44,000 contract from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the institute is testing cattle bones and joints--much like engineers have tested steel, concrete and other structural material for years. The institute said it this is one of the first studies to apply structural engineering tests to bones. "Bone, after all, is a structural material and we think we can help bridge the gap between the medical and engineering sciences and find some numerical values for bone structure," said Dr.

Francis W. Cooke, head of the institute's metallurgy laboratory. The data from the tests will be turned over to the Department of Transportation for stud-. les on how to better guard and knees in auto collisions. chose the knee to study," said Cooke, "because it's very complex, it's difficult to repair and failure to repair it properly results in serious impairment of function.

There are a lot of jobs a man with a banged up knee can't do." Besides the engineering studies, pathology studies on the District Hospital Register INDIANA HOSPITAL Births for July 21 Mr. Mrs. Charles Stiffler, 148 Douglas Commodore, girl; Mr. and Mrs. Glen R.

They said neither will seek to remarry and had agreed to say nothing beyond their. signed statement.

Interment will be in New Alexandria will be made by Dr. Donald Negel, chief of ics at Hahnemann Medical School and Hospital. The bone samples will come from cattle freshly slaughtered at a packing house. They'll be subjected to sharp bends and pulls and impact loads. The scientists will first study bone samples, then joints, and finally joints surrounded by flesh and tissue.

Cooke said the tests must be run very soon after the animal is slaughtered. He said his preliminary tests have shown that dead bone quickly changes quallity. "Within minutes it Is drastically changed," he said. "This is particularly true with regard to impact qualities." Because of this rapid change, he said, he cannot use much data taken from previous impact tests on bones. "If we can learn what the reaction to impact loads will be, then we can learn how to predict it and ultimately prevent it," said Melvin Zisfein, associate director of the institute's research laboratories.

GE Color TV Set May Be Dangerous WASHINGTON (AP) Some color television set owners and their families may be exposed to harmful radioactive rays from their sets, says the government. It urged the unknown owners of the 'large-screen color consoles and table models manufactured by the General Electric Co. and sold between Sept.

1, 1966 and May 31, 1967 to pull the plugs and keep their television screens dark pending a check on possible radioactivity. The warning came Friday from Surgeon General William H. Stewart, who said a painstaking nationwide search by General Electric had failed to turn up the 9,000 sets. That's about one-tenth of the television sets the company feared might be emitting potentially harmful X-rays from certain tubes. Even if the sets are issuing such rays, the extent of the harm they could cause was not precisely known.

Dr. Stewart described such rays as "a potential hazard tol human health." Public Health Service spokesman said later he saw no need for any owners of one of the sets to consult a doctor, Stewart said tests on the tubes supplied by General Electric indicated a large percentage of them leaked radiation. A GE spokesman said the color sets involved have 8-, 20-, 22- and 23-inch screens. The tubes involved were identified by the numbers 6EF4 and 61.06. Stewart praised GE's for the defective sets, which said led to location and correction of some 100,000 tubes.

Owners of such sets were urged to notify GE dealers or. service centers or state or local health departments before using them. In Syracuse, N.Y., a GE spokesman said the sets involved "have a blue fine tune gauge above the control knobs and have on the back of the set either a serial number sticker beginning with OA or OD or no serial number at all. "Receivers which already 'have been modified have a red and white label pasted on the back covering regulator replacement." Boy, 6, Killed PITTSBURGH (AP) O'Toole. 6, was killed by a Friday night near his home suburban Bethel Park, Zinc Mine Caves In; Five Hurt PICHER, Okla.

(AP) a "loud, thunderous explosion and flash of brilliant lightning" jarred this small northeastern Oklahoma town early today AS a long-abandoned zinc mine collapsed, swallowing two houses, five cars and injuring five persons. None of the injured is believed to be in serious condition. Officials of the Eagle Picher Mining Co. said the floor of the abandoned mine is 260 feet below surface. But officials said the area is "as deep as it is going to get." George Foote, his wife and 10 children, escaped from their smashed home only moments after it slipped down a 45-degree incline caused when the earth beneath the home collapsed at 12:20 a.m.

Foote and four of his children suffered minor injubut none required hospi-2 talization. "I heard a loud, thunderous explosion and saw something which looked like a flash of brilliant lightning," Foote said. saw some tree limbs flying through the air and thought we were having a storm." Foote said when he had look up to see the ground, knew it was time to get out here." No one could explain the flash of light. three other cars were retrieved! from the pit, but one car WAS not. Rain began falling at 8 a.m., and the Oklahoma Patrol said the moisture could; widen the cave-in, causing evac-! uation of many other residents.

Bill Denny, an occupant of one of the houses, said he was in bed when he heard a loud roar and then before -his house fell 45 feet straight down. He and his family crawled out of a window of the home to safety. The lights were still burning in the house this morning Foote, who is disabled and on welfare, said he hustled his family out of the house through a window and up a treacherous path to safety. He suffered a shoulder injury when he was thrown against a bed. The family escaped with only the clothes they wore.

The small four-room frame home slipped 45 feet below the earth's surface and was ripped apart. Marilyn Matteer, 14, lives with her parents in a house on the edge of the cave-in. She said a loud noise had awakened her and she saw the family's garage; tilting. "I first thought it was an earthquake," she said. Foote's station wagon and Explorer Into Orbit CAPE KENNEDY, Fla.
