Russians Give In . . .
Stop Using Armored Cars
BERLIN t^P — The Russians
gave in today to Western orders
and changed the guard at the So
viet war memorial in West Berlin
by bus, instead of armored cars.
A score of smartly uniformed
Soviet troops waved and smiled
from their buses, to a crowd of
about 50 West Berliners who gath
ered at Sandkrug bridge as they
crossed from East Berlin. Some of
the Berliners waved back and
laughed.
Everybody seemed happy at the
Russians’ return to bus transport
after use of six-wheeled armored
units for more than three weeks.
It was the second time in 10
days that they had yielded to pres
sure from the United States, Bri
tain and France. On Sept. 4 they
bowed to Allied insistence and
sent the armored cars across the
Sandkrug bridge direct to the
memorial in the British sector, in
stead of through the Americans'
more distant checkpoint Charlie.
Britain handled the affair today
and made the backdown as easy
as possible. According to the of
ficial account, the Russians had
been told gently that “it would
be more convenient for all con
cerned” for their troops to take a
bus instead of the armored cars.

Strontium - 87
Lollipops for Kids
BEXHILL, England GW — Dr.
Michael Ash is handing out stron
tium-87 lollipops to his eight chil
dren.
He asserts they can combat
radioactive fallout. The 44-year
old medical specialist says he thinks
he has discovered a simple meas
ure of protecting everybody in
Britain.
The basis for immunization in
the lollipops, he says, is seaweed
and strontium rock whih are found
near Chipping Sodbury in the
Cotswold Hills. There, he says,
Britain's leukemia rate is lowest.
Leukemia is cancer of the blood.
David, the doctor’s 14-year-old
son, helps to make the lollipops.
"I reckon we can produce them
at 5 and 6 pence” (6 and 7 cents >
each, he says.
Ash reported he has been “feed
ing” his family iodine extracted
from the seaweed and the powered
strontium.
“Now we have complete immu
nity to radioactive strontium and
radioactive iodine,” he said.
Ash’s theory is that the effect
of radioactive materials can be
nullified by a heavy intake of the
same minerals in natural form.
“The body can only accept a
certain amount of these minerals,”
he said.
Ash said that so far not much
interest has been shown in his
discovery in Britain.
The strontium lollipops are
sweetened with sugar and different
flavors.
“They taste better than ordinary
lollipops,” Mrs. Ash said.
