CROSSE TRIBUNE, Id Wisconsin Thursday, August 16, T951 Regulate Use New Statute Governs Economic Poisons (Tribune MudHon Bnrtmu) MADISON, The quantity and variety of economic poisons and the general scope of their use in Wisconsin agriculture have 'brought a new phase of agricultural service regulation by the state government. A new state law adopted by the legislature this year regulates the sale and distribution of economic poisons, and their registration with the state department of Involve! Compounds "Economic poisons" are the various compounds used in preventing. destroying, repelling or mitigating, insects, rodents, predatory animals, fungi, nematodes, weeds and other forms of plant and animal life or virus. The growth -in their use has been spectacular among Wisconsin general farmers and crop specialists during the last 10 Purpose of the controls is the protection of the public, explained A.

J. Madler, counsel for the state department of agriculture The administrative agency supported the regulatory proposal and assisted in drafting the law. but the incentive for public controls came from farm organizations and 'farmer memers of a legislative interim commitee investigated the matter a year ago. Falls To Get Approval The committee also proposed a cvstem of regulation of commercial crop spraying and dusting services, but the bill failed of legislative approval: The economic poison law requires accurate and adequate labeling and prohibits adulterating and misbranding. Registration fees for dealers range from $20 to $100.

The department is authorized to promulgate protective regulations in the use of poisons dangerous to human life and the "upper animals. Local Man Now Army Corporal James I.

Prosecutor Hugh Philips said Charles Baughman' told officers he killed his foster mother because she hit him with a strap after he tampered with her cosmetics case. The shooting occurred near Cable Ridge, 35 miles northwest of this central Missouri The prosecutor quoted the boy as saying he fired at 54-year- old Mrs. Everett Ray three times with a .22 caliber rifle. Neighbors said Charles had lived with the Rays four or five years, had been well cared. for and appeared to be a model boy.

No charges have been filed. 10 Per CentOf Motor Vdficles ffi (Trlbtrat lUdim Bnmni MADISON, 10 per cent or 100,000 of the registered motor vehicles of the state are When their owners cause accidents resulting in loss of life or injuries or loss of property, damages frequently cannot be paid and judgments are uncol- lectible. The protection of the public against such financially irresponsible drivers is the problem being studied by a special legislative study group which began its work here last The-most common proposal to meet the problem is a compulsory Insurance law, but the committee has indicated an interest in numerous alternative suggestions. The first objective will be to study present highway safety measures, to determine whether everything is being done to prevent accidents. But even with the most vigorous safety measures, the committee las been told, accidents will happen.

To protect possible victims from financially irresponsible drivers, these measures will also be investigated: 1. More severe driver llicen- sing tests, to assure that incompetent drivers are' denied the privilege of the roads. 2. Driver license revocation measures that would- be, more severe. The committee also has listened favorably to the admittedly "drastic" New York law which forced 31,000 careless vehicle operators off the highways of that state last year.

3. Giving a judgment creditor in case of an. unsatisfied judgment a first lien on the automobile of the judgment debtor, the establishment of a state fund from which unsatisfied judge- ments may be paid up to the usual $5,000 and $10,000 limits, and the provision for installment payment of judgments. Wisconsin now bas a "financial responsibility law," under which a motorist involved in a road accident must prove that he is responsible for damages, or forfeit his driving privileges. The- committee will review that program, and may recommend changes to make it more restrictive.

It. also has indicated that it will examine into the adequacy of Insurance 'company regulation under present laws to determine that "the pubHc is receiving the protection it is paying- premiums for." It also wfll look into the present method used by the insurance for the rejection of insurance and tbe assignment of substandard risks. Sen. Albert VandeZande pf Fond du Lac county has been chosen chairman of the study group. He is an insurance representative in private life.

The discovery has opened up entirely new fields research and application in chemistry, geology, mineral prospecting, and in the development of a practical radiation type of gadget that can be used as a dog tag to measure the amount of radiation to which individuals are exposed during an atomic bomb blast. Under AEC Grant TLe study of crystals that glow was conducted by Farrington Daniels, UW professor of chemistry, Donald F. Saunders, project assistant, and other Wisconsin scientists. The research was conducted under an atomic energy commission grant. The -UW scientists found that the glow given by certain mineral crystals when heated is caused by electrons escaping from "traps" in the lattice-like structure of the crystal.

The electrons are driven into the traps by radioactivity either from very small amounts of natural radioactive substances or by man-made radiation in the laboratory. When the chemical crystal is heated slightly, the electrons escape the traps and fall back to their normal positions, emitting light in the process. The scientists have found that the phenomenon is much more common than had previously been realized. Practically all limestone and granites will emit light when anyone can learn by grinding a small piece of limestone into powder, placing it in a frying pan and heating almost red hot in the dark. A few prospectors have known for years that some minerals will glow for a moment when heated, but it was not known that small amounts of uranium and thorium furnished the radioactivity necessary for the trick.

Because of the small amounts of these- elements present in centuries are required for the teapping of enough electrons to give a few seconds' glow. During an atomic bomb blast, however, the radioactivity would be so intense that crystals of lithium fluoride, for example, would trap sufficient electrons in a few seconds to glow when heated. The amount of radiation to which a lithium fluoride dog tag was exposed would determine the intensity of the glow. The UW scientists have designed a thermoluminescent apparatus to heat the crystals and record the amount of light emitted. Use of such a device could enable authorities to quickly divide a population exposed to radiation into groups of individuals requiring similar medical treatment.

"For laboratory experimentation, for health protection of those who work with radioactive materials and X-rays, and for defense against atomic warfare, it is necessary to have simple, rugged radiation dosimeters which will give a measure of the accumulated exposure of gamma radiation," Daniels and Saunders say in a report just completed for the AEC. After thermoluminescent crystals have been heated once, the ability to glow is destroyed, but it can be restored by exposure to radiation. Each mineral has its individual "glow" pattern. When heated at a rate of one degree a second, the intensity of the light varies noticeably with the type of mineral and its geologic history. And each type has peaks and dips in brightness which are characteristic of the type.
