...Chicago's Dr. Robert J. Moon, is being perfected for X-raying hard-to-get-at organs such as the stomach and lower intestines. Using a pinpoint X-ray beam and a scanning system, it throws a brilliant, enlarged image on a TV screen, subjects both patient and radiologist to much smaller and safer doses of X rays than older methods...
Emergency Lights. When the King's chest was suspected as the cause of his ill health, Sir John called in Geoffrey Marshall, 64, an expert on lung diseases, and Sir Robert Arthur Young, 80, grand old man of British chest experts.

Estimated value...

Plans, already drawn by Physicist Gioacchino Failla, call for a derrick-like supporting apparatus in an underground chamber and a 3½-ton bucket of lead, mercury and steel to hold the radium and direct its energy in converging rays on deep-seated cancers. When the machine is finished some time next year, the hospital will ship the empty bucket to Belgium and have it loaded. Then the radium will be brought back to Manhattan and put to work...
