Denmark Scientist Visits KU To Study Bone Radioactivity
A scientist from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, is visiting the University radioactive isotope research laboratory today.
The scientist, Dr. Hilde Levi, is here to learn a technique being developed by the physics department of studying the effect of radioactivity on bone tissue.
Dr. Levi's trip to this country is sponsored by the American Philosophical society and the Rockefeller foundation.
"I came to see Dr. Frank Hoecker for his famous and outstanding work in his field."Dr. Levi said.
Alpha-particle autoradiography, the university project she is examining, is under the auspices of the Atomic Energy commission.
"We study deposition of radioactive substances in the bones of animals and human beings, and in this connection we have developed methods for studying the bone," Dr. Hoecker said.
Radio active substances are artificially introduced into rabbits and rats.

Communist Line Nears Paksane
Hanoi, Indo-China —(U,P)— A Communist-1-led Vietminh column advancing through Laos was reported today to be marching on Paksane, on the Thailand border, in an effort to cut the invaded kingdom in two.
The French command said reconnaissance pilots reported the Red column, made up of light infantry units, was spotted some 25 miles south of the French stronghold on the Jarres plain.
They said it was moving toward Paksane, a town 90 miles to the south on the Mekong river which forms a frontier between Laos and Thailand.
It was believed the Communists forces may try to sever the vital colonial route 13. It runs along the Mekong river from the Indo-Chinese capital of Saigon toward Vientiane, administrative capital of Laos some 90 miles southwest of Paksane.
If the Communists reach the river boundary, they could also establish contact with pro-Viet-Minh elements among 50,000 Vietnamese who have settled in Thailand.
1 Hurt, 1 Arrested In Auto Accident
Eugene C. Kasper, college junior, suffered a broken hip when the car in which he was riding went out of control and hit a telephone pole. The car was driven by Forrest F. Lottman, college sophomore.
Lottman pleaded guilty in Leavenworth city court Saturday to a charge of driving while intoxicated, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $100. Judge Walter I. Biddle, however, said he would parole Lottman on payment of fine.
One student was injured and another arrested as the result of an auto accident Friday evening on U.S. highway 73 near Lansing.
Kasper was transferred from the Leavenworth hospital to the University Medical center in Kansas City, Kan.
