X Rays Seen More Cancer Risk Than Nuclear Plants
Nuclear physicist Ralph E. Lapp told an international radiation protection conference that excessive X rays and high altitude jet travel threaten far more cancer deaths than routine nuclear plant activity. He estimated 50,000 US cancer deaths from X rays this century and about 7,200 more from jet travel, versus about 90 from nuclear fallout unless major accidents occur. He urged halving diagnostic X ray doses by century end and noted natural background radiation accounts for far more deaths. Bernice Turquette

TI Expansion Plan Gets Approval
Texas Instruments received approval to temporarily expand its Lubbock operation using 28,000 square feet at Parkway Mall for electronic component manufacture. The ZBA granted a one year variance for the retail zone use as TI hires 444 more workers and moves a new Dallas division to the site. A second hearing is set for the former Cook's Department Store at 40th Street and Avenue Q to determine further expansion.
