Flu Blamed
For Deaths
Of Fifteen
LONDON (P) - Asian flu was
blamed yesterday for the deaths
of 15 adults and four children in
the Midlands and northern Eng-
land.
Hundreds of thousands of Bri-
tons were stricken in the spread-
ing epidenic and confined to bed..
Some industries were crippled
by the absence of m2'npower,
schools were closed and hospitals
were sorely over-burdened.
No total casualty figures were
compiled by health authorities but
towns and cities in the affected
areas reported influenza' victims
running into tens of thousands at
different places.
Dr. Cx H. Shaw, deputy medical
officer in the steel town of Shef-
field, skid he attributed 14 recent
deaths 'there to epidemic."

ACTIVATING A REACTOR-Nuclear physicists are shown attaching a fuel element on the crane preparatory to lowering it through
twenty feet of water in the nuclear reactor at the Phoenix Memorial Laboratory on North Campus. The fuel element, two feet long and
four inches square, is composed of aluminum and uranium. About eighteen elements are required to activate the giant device. The
physicist in the background is operating the crane while his colleagues are attaching the element. Having been moved through the
water, the fuel element (arrow) is slowly lowered into the fgel rack at the bottom of photo. Pipes leading from the fuel rack to the
wall of the pool are used to channel the neutrons out of the reactor and into the laboratories when--they can be used for research. The
41,0400 -gallon pool is surrounded by high density concrete walls six feet thick at the base.

'Officials Plan
Game Routes
Plans for handling automobile
traffic for the University's six
home football games were made
yesterday at a luncheon in the
Union.
. Attending officials decided the
following football Saturday road
rules.
1. Saline will be one way north
from the expressway to the stadi-
um from noon until game time
and one way after the game. This
action is expected to expedite De-
troit traffic.
2. Traffic entering from the
west will be routed via Stadium
Blvd. It is hoped that at least one
lane of the new U.S. highway 23
around Whitmore Lake can be
used to handle traffic from the
north.
Representatives at the luncheon
were hosted by the Board in Con-
trol of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Assembly of the fuel core began
Tuesday morning and engineers
worked well into this morning in
their antiseptically clean, brilli-
antly lit, windowless room on
North Campus to achieve the cul-
mination of years-of work.
Fuel elements, rods of aluminum
and uranium two feet long and
four inches square, were moved by
a crane from their storage rack
underwater into a rack twenty
feet below the surface of the 41,000
gallon pool.
Within the rack is a "trigger,"
a small source of atomic particles
called neutrons. When a fuel ele-
ment is lowered into the rack, the
neutrons strike it and give rise to
more neutrons. These in turn split
other uranium atoms. Thus, each'
time another fuel element is added
to the rack more neutrons are
produced.
With the addition of a fuel ele-
ment, safety and control rods were
slowly removed, and the increase
in neutron production was calcu-
lated and measured.
When the amount of neutrons
produced- reaches the "critical
point," the reaction becomes self-
sustaining and a nuclear reactor is
born.
The process is extremely pains-
taking, the average time for addi-
tion of one fuel element being.
more than forty-five minutes. An
estimated twenty fuel elements
were to be added before the reac-
tor became critical.
