Billion Barrels Jet Fuel From Oil Shale Seen
Dr J D Lankford of the U S bureau of mines at Rifle Colo says the Green River shale in northwestern Colorado could yield billions of barrels of jet fuel and diesel by hydrogenation and refinement. Current output is 100 to 300 barrels of gasoline and diesel, but improvements in mining and processing could vastly expand production for wartime and peacetime needs.

Pocket Radiation Indicator for the Average Man
An accurate pocket size radiation indicator was developed at UCLA by Dr. George W. Taplin and Clayton Douglas. The device uses color change in small vials to measure radioactivity, is cheap to produce, and can be worn as neck tags or carried in a pencil-like container. It aims to measure gamma and X ray exposure after an atomic blast and has peacetime uses in calibrating radiation equipment and monitoring thyroid dose in hyperthyroidism treatment.
