spected the devastated cities after
the Japanese had surrendered.
He said most persons within
mile of the bombs had died quickly
either from the great heat of the
blast or injuries suffered in demol-
ished buildings.
Many who escaped death by blast
or burn, DR.. Morrison said, died
from the effects of radium- like rays
emitted In great number from the
bomb at the instant of the explo-
sion"
This radiation affects the blood
forming tissues in the bone marrow.
and the whole function Of the blood
is impaired" the former University
OF Illinois physics instructor re-
lated.
The blood does not coagulate. but
oozes in many spots through the un-
broken skin, and internally seeps
into the cavities of the body. The
white corpuscles which fight infec-
tion disappear"
Lack of these corpuscles permits
infection to prosper, DR.. Morrison
said, land the patient dies, usually
two or three weeks after the ex-
posure.

all nuclear physicists, I have studied
this disease little" DR.. Morrison
said. 1T is hazard of our profes-
sion. With the atomic bomb. 1t be-
came epidemic. War now can de-
stroy not cities, but nations"
After describing the destruction
wrought to Hiroshima, DR.. Morrison
said it was probable that an atom
bombed American city would be as
badly damaged as a japanese city
though it would look less wrecked
from the air.
In Japan the wreckage burned
clean; in a Western city, the rubble
would stand in piles in the streets.

While the American Medical As
sociation already mas criticized the
compulsory health insurance phase
of the Truman proposal, there was
no indication of the position the
surgeons would take. One official
of the group here indicated that
discussion of the plan probably
would be more informal than OFF,
cial. -.

pect about 1000 surgeons from all
parts of the United States to reg
lister today. The formal program
will open in the hotel ballroom to-
morrow morning, with DR.. Gusts

chairman, presiding.

emy of Surgery.

cuss surgical problems tomorrow

and Dr. Emil Hildenbrand, both
'of Georgetown University medical
school; Brig. Gen. George Callander
Army Medical Corps, and Prof E
Newton Harvey, Princeton Uni
versity.
DR.. Desiderio Roman, noted Phi1a-
delphia surgeon and president OF
the International College of Sur
geonS, who will participate in the
program. declared in a statement
today: Postwar problems and COM
plications require international un-
derstanding and adjustment such
as have never before been needed
The International College of Sur
geons fits peculiarly into the pic
ture at this time. This assembly
is dedicated to a program of the
highest. scientific merit for the
presentation and discussion of ex-
periences which add to the worlds
store of surgical knowledge"
