Scientists Use 9-Foot Pane As Atomic Shield By GERALD MILLER Coming, N. Y. (AP) ? Atomic specialists dealing with deadly radioactive material can get a cool view of their work through the thickest window in the world. The window, nearly 9 feet thick, is a radiation shield made for the Atomic Energy Commission by the Corning Glass Works. It was shipped recently to Idaho Falls, Idaho, for installation in a new flight engine test facility at the National Reactor Testing Sta tion. Corning engineers say the win dow has two purposes: its thick ness protects workers looking at radioactive material and also re flects light in a way that provides a larger view of the working area. An object seen through the sev en glass panes and 12 plastic sheets that make up the window will appear greatly enlarged. Corning has manufactured a number of shielding windows for atomic research, some of them as peephole? into radioactive com partments in the Navy's atomic submarines. But this one is by far the largest. It was assembled at Coming's plant at Harrodsburg, Ky., then trucked to Cleveland for an ex hibition before moving on to Idaho. "We know this is the largest radiation window ever made," says a company spokesman. "And since there's no call for such windows outside the atomic field we con sider it the thickest window in the world." Farm Bureau Starts Drive Paul Shackelford, eastern dis trict Farm Bureau field represent ative was the speaker at a Farm Bureau membership dinner Thurs day night for area agriculture a gents and Farm Bureau member ship solicitors. The meeting was at Rex restaurant, Morehead City. In his talk Mr. Shackelford out lined some of the accomplishments of the Farm Bureau during the past legislature which included: ? Support of legislation to en large the state school program. ? Attempt to get additional funds allocated for agriculturial research ? Support of water shed legisla tion. ? Support of a beef and swine evaluation program aimed at im proving herds. ? Support of legislation to provide compulsory polio shots for school Children. ? Support of legislation to require Inspection of all plants coming into North Carolina. ? Keeping farm labor exempt from minimum wage law. Mr. Shackelford said that of the nation's total population, only 12 per cent arc now actively engaged in farming. Indications point to (till a further drop in this figure. Among those attending the din ner meeting were county farm ageat R. M. Williams and his as sistant, David Warrick; county con scrvatiomst Maynard Owens and Milton Truckncr, Farm Bureau, president. Cops Accept Challenge, Bring in Drunken Man Huntsville, Ala. (AP) ? The voice on the telephone told the officer at the police station, "Send two of your biggest, toughest men out here. I'll whip 'em both" Patrolmen Hugh Gibbs and C. W. Cobb answered the call.
