k—SUCTION TWO. PAGE SIX HadfoPiTNew Medcal Wrinkle t Tt ' *• Tests Being Made to Evaluate Practical Useis Veterans Administration, the Rockefeller Institute and Radio jCorporaition of America are joining in laboratory tests and experi ments to evaluate the practical ■uses of a “radio pill” which was demonstrated publicly at the Rock efeller Institute. The unique device is a tiny radio broadcasting capsule which can be swallowed like a medicinal pill. As it passes through a person’s intes tine, this world’s smallest FM broadcasting transmitter signals the activity of the digestive tract to an outside receiver. The device was developed and tested jointly by Rockefeller Insti tute, the New York Veterans Ad ministration Hospital and RCA. The developers coutioned that in its present stage of development, pending the further tests, it must be considered as an experimental technique, but one which holds im portant imnbrations for future medical research. The demonstration of the radio pill was made in New York by Dr. Vladimir K. Zworykin of the medi cal electronics center of Rockefell- i er Institute, honorary vice-presi-J dent of RCA, and Dr. John T. Far- ’ rar, chief of gastroenterology sec tion of the VA Hospital. New York who is also assistant professor of clinical medicine at Cornell Uni versity College of Medicine. . The radio pill was designed by Dr. Zworykin and his associates as it had been envisioned by Dr Far- 1 rar. It was developed bv engineers of RCA. ‘ VA said the radio pill appears PRICE SURPRISE '-and hit of the year to Drive! .• • Manufacturer's Suggested Price— * .• 2-Door SPECIAL°6-Passenger Sedan \\T "f"® SO ™ thin g when began showing this # e "" price level in our ads. * • T * iat °P the eyes of thousands of people to the fact that • (including Delivery and Handling • than the price of a smaller car. • Charges and Federal Excise Taxes) * jj . • Transportation charges, state and * but the bi gS est surprise was yet to come: The discovery of a « ,ocal taxes, if any, accessories and # new kind of driving. s optional equipment, including BkyS Dynaflowtransmission, radio,heater • For in this completely changed Buick vou have performance w^',e *t*t tires, additional • ride braking and handling lik b f * (ft I • * iR* ♦♦♦•••• Y °u boss a new and mighty V 8 engine that sends a thrill of 1 Y ' d.
