Stars, Men and Atoms
u. S. Doctors Look Ahead
ToAtom-Bomb Emergency
Can Do Little to Counteract Effects
OF Deadly Radiation From Blast
By Thomas r. Henry

-
Americas doctors are looking ahead to an
atomic bomb emergency-but with feeling Of
futility.
There is very little they will be able to do.
as the picture stands at present, to counteract
the effects Of the deadly radiations which will
deluge the bodies Of everybody In the vicinity
Of such blast
There is one effect in fact, which Is com.
pletely new to medical science-that Of ''neu.
tron beams" Neutrons, electrically unchanged
particles shot out In all directions, are the
bullets Of the new alchemy They hit the
atoms Of the elements making up the body
and transmute them into other elements which
are radioactive. They may remain so for .
long time, shooting out killing radiations
against the body cells around them.
Similar to x-Rays.
The primary effect of neutrons is very
similar to that Of x-rays, but the damage from
an overdose Of x-radiation is instantaneous.
although observable symptoms may not appear
for some time. The transmitted elements re.
main active for days, or even for generations.
and there is no conceivable way at present OF
getting them out Of the body.
Still doctors feeling Of futility II not en-
tirely justified Many of the injuries produced
by an atomic bomb explosion would be burns.
cuts, broken bones and the like, with whose
treatment he is thoroughly familiar. He would
fnd that one Of his major functions would be
as a public health oficer Most food in .
bombed area would be unfit for consumption,
and all would have to be surveyed before 1t
could be eaten safely. All the water in the
region probably would contain radioactive iso-
topes, which would make 1t act like slow
poison. Research Is in progress on means to
purify this water. Obviously the usual boiling
or chlorination would be worthless, but there
is some indication that filtration methods can
be developed
Lessons From Japan.
The Army particularly Is training Its med
ical officers in the basic duties which would
devolve upon them, based largely on studies
of the postbomb experiences at Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. One important line Of research
being followed Is In the eficacy of whole blood
transfusons, since 1t has been established that
one Of the most serious Of radiation injuries
is to the blood forming elements In the bone
marrow.
Lessons still are being learned from the fate
Of the japanese survivors. One Of the findings
Is that there is probably no great need to
worry about the emergence of race of human
monsters due to the effects on the generative
organs. The general effect, 1t is found, Is to
kill germ cells rather than to alter their
hereditary mechanism.
Some Of the most alarming effects, such a.
the falling out of the hair, have been found
to have little real significance They come
from superficial radiation and will clear UP
naturally in the course of time If the victim
has not otherwise received deadly dose.

Americans blunders relative to Palestine.

Americans blunders relative to Palestine. OF
this one we should be profoundly ashamed.
If America sincerely wishes to destroy the
hopes of the world in her wise leadership in
this time of crisis, she is taking the right path
by embarking on program of duplicity, for
reasons of supposed political expediency or for
any reason. I cannot believe that when the
Implications of our Palestine action are made
plain to the American people they will fail to
make sincere effort to rectify 1t. For the
benefit Of our future, both at home and abroad,
I pray that 1t may not already be too late for
such an effort to bear fruit. There is no time
to loose. STEPHEN B. l.. PENROSE, Jr.

Armament Race
70 the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Your editorial attitude that we should arm
ourselves to such an extent that no other ma
ton will attack us reminds me of an episode
in a comic strip of another newspaper. 1t
seems more appropriate now than ever.
Mr.. Blank was discussing his plan for world
peace It's three points were as follows:
Cd No nation would think Of attacking q
stronger nation.
90 Thus. every nation must agree to in
crease its armed might beyond that d any
other nation.
90 Therefore, perpetual armistice Will re-
suit
Mr.. Blank remarks that this plan has oeen
put into effect several times, but eacn une
was interrupted by war. ". D.

Holy Land Conference Urged

To the Editor Of The Star:
Recognition Of the Jewish state OF 1srael
apparently has touched OF powderKeg OF
repercussions Why all this conflict?
The average reader knows little or notning
of the causes of the turmoil in the Holy Land
Why cannot The Star present an unbiased
history of both sides Of the case? Invite
Jewish and an Arab spokesman to sit down
at a conference table, presided over by an
impartial moderator, and discuss the reasons
why two races Of people are continually at
each others throats
There must be some basis upon which
reasonable settlement Of differences can be
achieved. HARRY IHAuo.

Flat Tires Lead
To Mans Arrests

Domestic troubles between a To-
cal man and his estranged wife are
believed to have been the cause of
"blow-outs" in the West Third
street area over the weekend when
the air was let out of the tires of
three autos.
According to police, drivers of
two cars discovered the air had
been let out of their tires Friday
night. One of the men hid near
the house Saturday night, and
caught the culprit in the act. He
fired a gun at the fleeing man, who
was not injured, although he was
tentatively identified.
A warrant was sworn out for the
mans arrest. Later he posted a
$35 appearance bond and the case
was assigned for Mayors court this
week. Police believe the action
was spite work as the mans es,

to Masing in the end zone from

In the second frame the Red

One play which showed the
