Decimal System Of Money Under British Study LONDON (P) Britain's Conservative government expressed the belief Tuesday that this should if it proves feasible switch to a decimal monetary system. John Selwyn Lloyd. chancellor of the Exchequer, told the House of Commons the government has decided to set up a committee to investigate.

The British monetary system at present is based onthe sterling, worth $2.80. The pound is divided into two 10-shilling notes. 8 half crownd, 10 florins, 20 shilling, 40 sixpence, 240 pennies, and 480 halfpennies. It was even worse until recently, when there was a unit called the farthing, no longer legal tender which was worth seven twenty-fourths of a cent. The British were satisfied with it, however, until recent ycars when many of Britain's Commonwealth partners and other members of the pound sterlbloc began converting to decimal monetary systems which are easier for modern computing equipment.

Said Lloyd, "It is clear that the transitional cost would be substantial, but it should be possible to limit this by choice of the size of the new units to adopted and careful timing of changeover."

Then she was ordered to Africa to help Kenya's flood victims. Messages from the anxious brides began to pour in by radio to their sailors.

They became anxious, too. As the Victorious steamed in at long last, the waiting 50 came down to welcome their sailors home. Such scenes of ardent welcome the Victorious had never experienced before.

Red Tests Raise Fallout But Don't Menace Health WASHINGTON (AP) Despite significant worldwide fallout from Russia's recent series of nuclear tests, radiation exposures of humans resulting from tests by allies. nations since 1945 will remain within acceptable health limits, the government reported Tuesday. In the most detailed account yet released on fallout from nuclear tests, the Atomic Energy Conmission reported: 1. The fission or fallout-producing yield (25 megatons) of the Soviet Union's recent series brought to 50 megatons tho total fission yield of all Soviet testscompared with 35 megatons for all American and British tests combined.

Strontium Doubled 2. The amount of long-lived out products strontium-90 and cesium-137-which may be deposited eventually on the United States from all Soviet tests of the past, including the 1961 series, would be twice that from all past American and British tests. However, the AEC, in a report made by Dr. Gordon M. Dunning, deputy director of the commission's Division of Operational Safety, gave this brighter side of the picture: -A "rough estimate" indicates that the radiation dose over period of 70 years of the bones of children born in 1962, resulting from all past nuclear tests of all countries, may be only one-50th of the dose listed by the Federal Radiation Council as an acceptable guide for "normal peacetime operations" in the atomic energy field.

About 40 per cent of this dose, however, would be expected to come from Russia's 1961 ser- Radioactive strontium is the I (fallout product that is feared as a "bone seeker." If enough of it were deposited, it could cause bone cancer. -The "whole body exposure" lover a born period of 30 years for children in 1962-due to radiation resulting from all past tests -would be about one 80th of the permissible exposure for normal peacetime operations. About 60 per cent of this would be from the 1961 Soviet tests. -The estimated one year to the thyroid glands of children. resulting from radioactive iodine in the Soviet Union's recent tests, is "less than" the council's permissible limit.

Lung Exposure Slight -The total radiation exposure to the lungs from inhaling the fallout during the day showing the peak activity in the air over the United States-709 micromicrocuries per cubic meter of air at Littie Rock, on Sept. 20, 1961 -was probably less than the radiation dose received by the lungs each and every day from naturalally occurring radioactive materials in the air. Dunning gave the figures in a report prepared for a meeting of dairy industry representatives at the Department of Agriculture's, Beltsville, Md. Experimental Ition. Cairo's Top TV Show Gives Masses New Hope CAIRO, Egypt -A favorite TV show here at the moment is a sort of Egyptian "What's my line?" The line is a political one.

ou TV, 250 members a committee bearded peasants to prominent lawyers--are discussing one question: "Who are the true representatives of the people?" Nasser Experiment he group, bearing the unwieldly name of "Preparatory Committee for the National Congress of Popular Forces," is President Gamal Abdel Nasser's latest experiment in popular government. The experiment is seen as a means of building grass-roots support for the regime, which was shaken when Syria tore itself out of Nasser's United Arab Republic in September. Buried among the speeches, filled with "isms" and vague ideologies, vilifying the evils of the past and proclaiming the brilliance of the future, there have been a few surprises--notably some open criticism of the Nasser system. Khaled Mohammed Khaled, an iconoclastic author, took the floor to call for an end to the restrictions of the past 10 years, and claimed that even in Communist China, opposition political parties are allowed to exist. In roundabout phrases, he criticized measures being taken to i isolate potential opponents of Nasser's Socialist policies.

Denounces Wealthy Class A good deal of the TV discussion. has been given to denouncing the rich "reactionary" class, and: deciding, in the words of one i speaker, how to "absolutely iso-1 late all hostile elements who have no place in our socialist society." Since the Syrian revolt, official figures say 81 persons and four army officers have been arrested and the property of more than 650 sequestrated. Actual figures are believed to be higher. Khaled urged caution about keeping certain classes out of public life and asked: should we always bear in mind only the drawbacks of the old regime. Why should we be afraid to let people rule on the largest democratic scale?" Baggy Pants Reveal 50 Records Inside MALDEN, Mass.

UP This is the story of a record theft in baggy pants. The principals, both convicted of shoplifting, identified themselves as Anthony Ostiguy, 33. and Michael Novato, 33, both of Providence, R.I. They pleaded innocent. A store detective said he thought they were two fat men waddling about an establishment in nearby Medford until he became suspicious and forced them to open voluminous overcoats.

Concealed in huge pockets and oversized trousers, the detective said, were 50 phonograph records. Ostiguy appealed a six months sentence and Novato three months. In lieu of $5.000 ball each, they were taken to East Cambridge Jail.

Stevens: direction, Joseph Anthony: production designed by Oliver Smithy costumes. cinda Ballard: lights. Peggy Clark: associate producers. Lyn Austin.

Victor Samrock: featuring Cyril Ritchard, Cathleen Nesbitt, Howard Da Silva. Parallels between the decline and fall of the Roman Empire and the state of the world today are not easily overlooked, and they are being looked over by Gore Vidal in "Romulus," now on view at. the Shubert Theater. Results Engrossing With the happy assistance of Cyril Ritchard in the title role, the results are quite engrossing, both in their melancholy and their humor. The whole matter has been gone into before by another contemporary playwright, Friedrich Duerrenmatt, to whom Mr.

Vidal acknowledges his debt. Not being acquainted with the Duerrenmatt original, I shall not tempt to speculate on who has been responsible for the large amount of sententipusness that tends to give the serious moments of the present version a disturbing pomposity, and Mr. Vidal must answer for overdoses of slick comedy. But all in "Romulus" skirts quite nimbly between depressing truths of life and the out-and-out guffaw in picturing what is wrong with the way world wags and in making the news palatable for Broadway consumption. As Mr.

Vidal tells it. the time is 476 A.D. and the Goths, in keeping their date with history, are naturally banging on the gates of the Roman Empire. Collapse has come to an era, and a way of life. While the Romans wring their hands, "Romulus" makes clear how they brought about their own downfall, with crassness, fakery, stupidity and general bread-and-circuses.

The comparisons with modern morality, or lack of it, are plain. Mr. Vidal has been bitingly ironic in showing the ghastly humors of the parallels, and rather highflown in chastising them. Emperor Stands in Ruins In the midst of the ruins and the ruiners stands the emperor. Romulus is on the one hand a dilletante and cyalc; on the other the judge of Rome.

Having seen the course 1 the empire was taking, he thought it. better that Rome should be blotted out rather than allowed to continue under present management. He is also prepared to go down with the ship he has scuttled rather than leave with the rats. The role is a fat one, both in its caustic comedy and its op: portunity to preach. Mr.

Richard handles the first weapon with his customary brilliance. He is a master of the kind of urbanily that in point of history actually did allow Rome to fall. And it must be said that he rises to real stature as Rome's and man's castigator, in he makes the reachment tolerable, though most of it is obvious and overblown. Cathleen Nesbitt as the hollowhearted empress, Howard DaSilva as the surprisingly agreeable Goth, and a lengthy cast symbolic of varied human failings, -are excellent. Joseph Anthony gives the play the spin of lively theather.

Oliver Smith has set it handsomely and shrewdly, and Lucinda Ballard's costumes are composed of fancy and fooling. T. H. P. Nasser, who sits before the committee like a patient schoolmaster and makes occasional speeches, took the rostrum to justify his revolutionary controls and measures.

leaves little doubt that such measures will continue in his drive toward socialism. In his opening words to the committee The declared there will be "no freedom" for those he considers enemies of the people. The Rolls-Royce still appears on! Cairo's streets and polo pontes still gallop. at sumptuous Gezira Club, but the upper crust is doing its best to stay out of sight while the drive is on. Even associating with Westerners is! considered risky, Nasser chastised Egypt's big, sluggish civil service for consider.

ing itself a class above the ple, and ordered it be shaken up. Eventually, by complicated stages and elections, the preparatory committee is to lead to a permanent constitution and a new parliament for the U.A.R. The new system is to embrace; all classes of the jor proposition in class-conscious Egypt where even some of Nasser's officers have been known to object to riding in the same elevator with a servant. If it works, Egypt's masses may for the first time have some say in running their country.
