The only explanation for this

labor leaders are convinced that

for labor that the Senate cannot dis

PASADENA, Calf, Nov. Lab
oratory tests with corn by California
Institute of Technology scientists
indicate that radioactivity from the
two atomic bomb explosions In
Japan may result in Unbeatable de-
fects producing human defornit1es
for the next 1000 years, DR.. Ernest
G. Anderson, biologist and professor
of genetics, said today.
DR.. Anderson, in an interview yes
terday, announced that the tests
were made at the institutes plant
genetics garden with, corn grown
from seeds exposed to last years
Operation Crossroads at Bikini Atoll.
Although 1t is impossible to con-
duct experiments with humans, the
same biological laws apply to them
as apply to corn" he said.
These tests, he said, were the first
laboratory confirmation of the the
ory that exposure to an atomic bomb
can lead to Unbeatable defects, and
they revealed that exposure to ra-
dioactivity disturbs chromosomal
genes, the inheritance factors in
cell tissue.
Affected genes and chromosomes
in some japanese people may result
In the birth Of morons, cripples and
deformed progeny in future gener-
ations," Dr. Anderson said, adding
that the mutations (changes) did
not appear in first corn paintings,
but were of recessive nature, ap-
pearing in the second generation Of
the plants.
"It is quite possible that these
'recessive' genes will gradually be
spread throughout Japan. and many
years hence. probably not in our
lifetime, 1t would follow that much
human deformity would be appar-
ent In the offspring Of that country"
DR.. Anderson declared.
| Here is the story of the Bikini corn
tests which DR.. Anderson says bears
out the theory:
The corn was shelled and sealed
In moisture-proof bags before ex-
posure to the Bikini bomb. Samples
were flown to Washington in July
and then sent here in time for the
fall planting at the schools garden
at nearby Arcadia.
Some effects were noticeable in
seeding plants, but they grew to
normal size and produced a rela-
lively normal yield Of corn.
The plants then were crossed with
healthy, normal ears, and in the
second generation scientists found
that different types of abnormalities
appeared. Changes included pale or
albino seedlings and ears with
small seeds, shrunken seeds, Off
color seeds or ears on which half
the seeds did not form at ALL
About 900 Of the 1880 cultures
showed gene defects, while nearly
as many showed chromosomal de-
fects," DR.. Anderson said.
The tests, conducted in co-opera-
ton with the Agriculture Depart
ment, produced little evidence that
the atomic bomb could be positive

Deep Snow Hampers
Climb 10 Wreck Of
Plane on Alaska Peak
By the Assoeiofed Press

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Nov. IA
deep snow blanket near the top Of
Mount Tamgas on Annette Island
hampered searchers seeking today
to recover bodies of 18 persons killed
when a Pan American Always plane
plowed into the peak last Sunday.
Eight Coast Guardsmen, led by
1t. Comdr. F. s. Schreiber, reached
the wreckage late yesterday and re-
ported they had found four bodies,
| with no survivors. The plane had
apparently partly burned and ex-
ploded, scattering wreckage far and
wide With improved visibility,
search planes found the spot earlier
yesterday.
| A possible cause of, the crash was
advanced by William L. Baker, edi-
tor and publisher of the Ketchikan
Chronicle, who said he believed the
3,610-foot elevation listed for the
peak on charts was incorrect. Mr..
Baker voiced his theory after ac-
companying search planes on their
flights around Mount TamgaS.
Altimeter Showed 3,400 Feet.
Mr.. Baker said the altimeter of a
Coast Guard plane in which he was
flying showed 3,400 feet at the level
Of the wreckage and that the sum-
NIT loomed several hundred feet
above, apparently at 1000 or 400
feet. The crash scene was about
6 miles from the Annette airfield.
Several pilots had also reported
that the Annette Island Airport
radio beam was wavering Sunday
afternoon at the time of the crash,
he said. Neither Civil Aeronautics
Administration officials nor Coast
Guard officers would comment.
The plane, flown by Capt. ALI N.
Monsen, veteran pilot, found ex-
treme air turbulance over Annette.
his last message said, and planned
to fly on to Juneau.
Monsen Knew Terrain Well.
Capt. Monsen, however, had flown
for years In the Alaska Service and
probably knew the Southeastern
Alaska terrain well. other flyers said.
Last night, six CAA men and II
Air Force mountaineers landed on
Upper Tamges Lake, on the noun
tain's slopes. Other inspectors were
to arrive there this morning and
Pan American Airways had a crew
of 40, headed by Capt. G. F. Maxwell,
also set to climb the peak.
A Pan American Always spokes-
man said the bodies would be
brought down the mountain, either
to the lake, or to the ocean shore
where the Coast Guard Cutter
Citrus would bring them here. They
could be flown from the lake in
seaplanes.
The disaster was the worst in the
history Of commercial flying in
Alaska.
