describing the reappearance of the he said Ader Olsta Hope to learn More about the heavens by studying the Rappaport said the pulsing indicated the object was in orbit around a larger com Panion forming a binary this is a unique Opportunity to learn about transient xray he Tho to the first time weve had a transient source of xray with a Good enough Dock the pulsing la determine the orbit this is a generally significant Opportunity to learn something in it is widely believed binary xray sources Are caused by or flowing from one Star to the Pulsar appears to be a Neutron Star originally larger than the Sun but now shrank to an extremely dense state be cause it has burned up its he Rappaport said observers plan intensive tracking of the Pulsar to determine its orbit by measuring the minute fluctuations of the pulse As the abject moves closer toward Earth or away from the orbit tells you How big it is and it tells you the How heavy it he two of Rappaport George my graduate student

several thousand Light new Epa tests show cars get poorer mileage than makers advertise Ann api motorists who arc burned up about getting much poorer mileage than advertised by Auto makers with environmental Protection Agency endorsements have some company the Epa the Epa reported tuesday that the average discrepancy Between listed and actual mileage ranges from 7 percent to is percent for All sizes of foreign and do the higher the posted mileage the bigger the with 1977 sub conv pacts testing 19 percent about seven Miles per gallon below the figures re corded by prototype models and

with representatives of american and foreign Stork said it was the Pas first comprehensive comparison of the Agency much criticized fuel Economy ratings with the mileage actually recorded by Assem byline the Epa is reviewing its fuel Economy testing program in Light of protests from Mot Jib who get poorer mileage than does the Epa in its Laboratory the study was described As the first step in that prototypes used manufacturers must submit cars for Epa approval of emission Levels the same tests from which fuel Economy rat Ings Are before they can build and sell the so there is no physical alternative1 to using prototypes in the Stork to make the fuel Economy the Epa borrowed privately owned 1976 and 1977 cars at random and ran them through the same simulated driving tests it conducts on prototype in some engine adjustments were changed to the original the Assembly line cars had from to recorded Miles on various portions of the Complex test prototype cars used in Pas tests have

scientist said tuesday that radiation ram lest atomic explosions in could have caused leukaemia in military troops who examined the blast there is no sate level of exposure and no dose of radiation is so Low that the risk of it causing a malignancy is said professor Karl who for 29 years was director of the health physics division at Oak Ridge National he made his statement on the first Day of hearings on radiation conducted by a House health the subcommittees investigation of the health effects of radiation exposure is initially entering on the controversial atomic blast called Smoky which was Coo ducted in the summer of my participated in most of them Lary were involved with that at least people participated in the series of atomic experiments in Nevada before the Testa were stopped in the Center for disease control has tracked Down nearly 500 participants from Smoky and determined that six have Luke do Lee who hat a constituent who was at the Smoky blast Sile and has asked Morgan if the atomic test could have caused blood cancer in troops at the theres no doubt in my replied the atomic experiments involved Mili tary Maneu vers which sent troops into the areas of the explosions
