...discovery was good news to the 800 uranium prospectors now wandering over the vast Colorado Plateau. Some are gnarled, weather-beaten desert rats packing their gear on a mule, looking for telltale yellow uranium streaks on the faces of weathered cliffs. Others are pink-cheeked amateurs with Geiger counters who clamber over the rocks, listening with ear phones for radioactive clicks, thus providing a source of innocent merriment (see cut). At Marysvale, claims have been staked on every inch of land for eight miles around Segmiller's strike, and the town citizens are now spending almost all their time...
Tibione proved to be no cureall, but the results summarized by Dr. Hinshaw suggest that it will be a valuable adjunct to streptomycin. It is no good against miliary (generalized) or meningeal tuberculosis, where streptomycin is most effective. It is "most impressive" in tuberculous laryngitis and enteritis. While its usefulness against pulmonary tuberculosis is not yet clear, it will probably be given along with streptomycin; doctors hope that Tibione, like P.A.S., will help prevent the growth of tubercle strains which learn to resist streptomycin...

In the last year, carrying along a band and a bill of vaudeville acts, Comedian Hope has covered 50,000 air miles, 65 cities, collected $1,000,000 from more than 750,000 wide-eyed fans. Cowboy Star Gene Autry spends almost six months a year on money-making one-night stands and rodeo appearances. Recently Jane Russell proved in a 30,000-mile trip that Britain and the Continent will also pay well for a close look at the real thing...
