Fallout in Los Angeles Reaches New High Levels
Radioactive fallout in Los Angeles climbs to an all time high for the area with air samples showing 25 percent of the maximum allowable concentration. Health officials say levels are not dangerous yet but would need to rise to four times Monday’s reading to pose a hazard. Officials attribute fallout to both recent tests near Las Vegas and earlier tests, with some contribution from Russian tests observed.

RCA Fined for Video Monopoly
The Radiol Corp. of America was fined on charges it conspired to monopolize radio and color television patents. A federal judge approved an injunction, releasing about 100 RCA patents to others in a royalty free licensing pool while maintaining a broader licensing framework. The government argued RCA built a 10,000 patent backlog since 1952, forcing firms to accept a package license and limiting independent access to needed patents. Atty. Gen. Victor B. Hausen hailed the judgment as opening a competitive market for patents in the field.

Russians Possess About Three Thousand IRBMs Say Expert
Time Magazine contributor Edwin Foes and analyst Rees estimate the Soviet Union fields around 3,000 IRBMs with ranges up to 800 miles. They compare this to 30 to 40 U.S. IRBMs and note parity as enough to destroy an opposing nation. Recognition of nuclear strength relies on reactor-produced krypton traces and Western accounting methods. The article cites Soviet lead in intermediate range missile firings and radar detections of hundreds of missiles.
