Intensive coast to coast search fails to locate radium capsules
Federal officials have conducted a nationwide search for two tiny radium capsules lost during rail shipment to New York. Despite thousands involved across 13 states and D C, authorities report no clues after weeks of sweeps of boxcars, terminals, and transfer points. The capsules, shipped from Fort Worth and Seattle, are valued at 6000 and 1500 dollars respectively.
