The super magnet at the heart of e the apparently diagnostic called nuclear magnetic system resonance weighs more than 9 tons and its cylindrical bore, where the patient is placed, measures about 3 feet in diameter. General Electric scientists introducing the system last week said it is capable of producing a uniform magnetic field of 15,000 gauss 20,000 times as strong that of Earth risk-fre- - within the bore. The super NMR system is the first in the world with the field strength, uniformity and large bore size required for analyzing the whole human body, said Dr. Roland W. Schmitt, GE senior vice president for corporate research and development. "This unique system has enabled us to provide the first evidence of NMR s potential usefulness for studying metabolism in the head, torso, or anywhere else in the body," Schmitt said. Earlier NMR analyses were limited to arms and legs because of the small bores of previous magnets. Dr. Rowland W. Redington, head of the firm's Research and Development Center, said the development may some day help doctors to tell cancerous from normal tissue without biopsies or exploratory surgery.

A Census Bureau study said last week about six million people, or 6 percent of the nation's work force, used public transportation to work Tin 1980. It said a decade before that about 9 percent of workers used public transportation. In the metropolitan areas, the 'largest decline in transit use for commuting occurred in New York. The study said it lost 355,00 com- - muters. The report suggested mass tran-- : sit systems did not adequately keep pace with population shifts. - Officials of several mass transit systems agreed. ; "People will live and work where they desire. Planners have to take '. that into account," Census Bureau ; Director Bruce Chapman told tran-- ; sit leaders and reporters at a semi- - nar on the report a day before its ' public release. It showed sharp worker ridership reductions in the North East and ; North Central areas, smaller losses in the South but gains in the West, where transportation planners ap- peared more ready to adjust serv--; ice to meet changing living pat- terns. The report also noted the major- ity of commuters make trips not from the suburbs to the central cities but from a suburban home to a suburban workplace. It was prepared by Dr. Philip Fulton, head of the bureau's commuting statistics program. NOdflOStX j Disaster Claims SPANISH 989 I j Friday 791 2815 ll p.m A.

In the United States weather damage alone cost private insurance companies $1.5 billion, just short of the 1979 record of $1.7 billion, the company said. Farmers received $40 million in 1982 for rain damage to California grapes. In Britain and France, violent storms in January cost insurance companies more than $300 million. In central Switzerland, fierce winds did $15 million in damage in November, the report said. One earthquake alone in India claimed more than 2,000 lives and left millions homeless, the report said, while in North Yemen an 0 earthquake left 3,000 dead and 400,-00- homeless. Cyclone Olivia which hit Central America killed 1,200 people. Fires, aircraft crashes and road and train accidents claimed hundreds of lives. Private insurance claims in the crash of a Pan American jet in New Orleans which killed 153 and was among 1982's worst air disasters, amounted to $75 million, the report said. The crash of a World Airways plane in Boston cost insurance companies more than $50 million for the plane alone. Air crashes in Brazil and China killed more than 100 people and 83 died in a helicopter crash Dec. 9 in Nicaragua. Though most train and bus disasters were in developing countries, 53 people, mainly children, died in a bus collision in the French town of Beaune and 39 West German tourists were killed when a train sliced through their bus in Switzerland, the company said.
