Received Saturday, 11.49 a.m. NEW YORK, July 19. A 20,000*000 volt free electron beam described by scientists as a new tool which atomic medical scientists have long waited, has been produced by the University of lllinois. The beam opens entirely new ways to study the inside of the atom, behaviour of electrons, to ereate artificially radio aetive suhstances and to attaek deep seated caneer. Doctors say that theoretical calculations indicate that the beam might disclose important advantages over X-Rays in the treatment of caneer, but from three to five years future study might be necessary before such forces could be turned on human beings.
