In this paper BP-theory is used to give a proof that there exists a stable homotopy element in \pi _{2^{n+1} - 2}^{S}( {\tf="times-b"R}P^{\infty }) with non-zero Hurewicz image in ju-theory if and only if there exists an element of \pi _{2^{n+1} - 2}^{S}( S{\hskip1}^{0}) that is represented by a framed manifold of Arf invariant one.
