WASHINGTON (UPI) —Mem
bers of Congress appear in
I' general agreement—and gener
ally regret—that the proposed
new $375 million atom-smasher
is just about the most political
subject in this political city.
They also appear to believe
that the Atomic Energy Com
mission (AEC) actually will
announce, on some far distant
’ date, its choice from among the
1
85 sites for the installation
which it said—straight-faced —
last September were under
consideration.
But there agreement ends.
“The biggest charade going
on is the search for a site,”
said one member of the Joint
House-Senate Atomic Energy
Committee, who asked not to
1 I ’ be identified.
Authorization Doubtful
“If and when a site is finally
selected,” he added, “it will
still be an exercise in futility
because Congress probably Is
not going to authorize the
project.”
Not so, said committee
Chairman Rep. Chet Holifield,
D-Calif.
Holifield conceded the project
would not be authorized this

year because of “budget
pressures" to finance the war
in Viet Nam. But he pointed out
that the AEC already has spent
about $5 million in research
and development for the atom
smasher and in searching for a
site, and is seeking another $2.2
million to continue this during
fiscal 1967.
According to Rep. Melvin R.
Laird, Wis., chairman of the
House Republican Conference,
the White House is directing
the procedure.
“The AEC has been directed
not to make a selection until
after the 1966 elections,” Laird
said.
“Probably, sometime be
tween May and September, it
will release the names of the
three sites from which the final
choice will be made,” he added.
Eight Finalists
Rep. Craig Hosmer, R-Calif.,
a member of the Joint Atomic
Energy Committee, predicted
that the national academy of
sciences would turn over a list
of about eight possible sites to
the AEC.
“It (the academy) will be
serious about five of them—
three In the Chicago area and
one on the West Coast and one
on the East Coast, he said.
“Then, as a political sop, It
probably will include one in the
South, one in the Southwest and
one in New England.”
The AEC denies that the
National Academy has dis
closed anything yet about the
site it will eventually recom
mend. But officials concede
that academy evaluators have
called for more data on sites
near Chicago, Brookhaven,
N.Y., Denver, Berkeley, Calif.,

DRIVE-IN AIRPORT—This Is a model of TWA’a proposed fl3.7
million terminal at Pittsburgh, involving a revolutionary
concept that would bring autos and airplanes within 40
paces. The bi-level, oval facility, to be linked to the existing
terminal, would have a dozen gates for up to 16 jetliners.
Madison, Wls., and Ann Arbor,
Mich.
For more than a year scores
of communities have been
working for the project. The
prize is worth it.
It is estimated that more
than 2,000 high-salaried scien
tists and technicians will be
employed at the proposed giant
nuclear works. Annual operat
ing expenses are estimated at
more than $60 million.

Medical Science Studies
Deaths In Crib
By MARTIN HEERWALD
United Press International
SEATTLE (UPI) —Shock,
grief and a nagging, heavy
sense of guilt—these are the
emotions a mother usually
suffers when her apparently
healthy baby dies suddenly and
inexplicably In its crib.
The shock soon passes, and
grief diminishes with time. But
the guilt feeling—“what did I
do wrong?”—may persist, even
to the point of causing the
breakup of a family.
The medical term for "crib
deaths” Is Sudden Death
Syndrome of infancy (SDS).
Science has yet to pinpoint the
cause or causes of SDS or find
ways to predict it or combat It,
and in most cases the family
doctor can assure the grieving
parents that no one was to
blame for their baby’s death.
A research team headed by
Dr. J. Bruce Beckwith, patholo
gist at Children’s Orthopedic
Hospital here, is trying to
unravel the SDS mystery. And
a group of mothers has
organized the Washington Asso
ciation for Sudden Infant Death
Study to promote better public
understanding and help parents,
particularly mothers, eliminate
any needless sense of guilt
The medical Investigation
into SDS was started with a
$20,000 grant from the state
legislature. The project was
expanded and continued with a
larger grant from the National
Institute of Health.
Beckwith said research thus
7
far indicates SDS may be
caused by a virus in the upper
respiratory tract, perhaps the
kind of virus that causes the
common cold In adults.
Everything about an infant is
tiny, he explained, and infec
tions in the breathing passage
pose a more serious problem In
infants than in adults.
“We believe We are getting
leads that may make It possible
to reduce markedly the number
of sudden infant deaths,” he
said. “But on the basis of
information now available there
is no way to detect or prevent
these deaths."
Estimates of the number of
SDS cases nationally each year
vary from 15,000 to 25,000.
Beckwith goes along with the
lower figure. He said records
throughout the nation aren’t
good enough to provide an
accurate death rate.
Confined To County
The autopsies performed by
Beckwith for his research
project are confined to Wash
ington state’s King County, the
most populous. In a little more
than a year he has performed
75 autopsies, indicating a
county SDS death rate of about
one of every 300 infants In their
first year. SDS occurs most
frequently in the two to four
month age group, is uncommon
among infants over 6 months
and extremely rare after 12
months.
Beckwith said the sesearch
program is focusing attention
on the area of the larynx. He
March 9, 1966
believes more will be known
about SDS when the normal
growth pattern of the infant
larynx has been determined.
So far, Beckwith has been
successful in gaining parental
permission to perform an
autopsy on every SDS in the
county since he began his
project in January, 1965.
He gives much of the credit
for this perfect record to the
Washington association for
sudden infant death study,
formally organized last year by
several mothers who had
experienced the tragedy of
SDS.
The association president Is
Mrs. Fred Dore, Seattle, wife
of a state senator.
