A-Bomb Casualty Training
Urqed for u. 5. Doctors
BY the Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO, July 28.-Immedi-
ate training of large numbers of
physicians and ordinary citizens to
care for atomic bomb casualties
was urged today by an atomic
medical consultant.
Otherwise, he added, "the han
ding of large numbers of burn
casualties after a bomb attack on
any of our cities must necessarily
end in complete chaos and panic
with the accompanying inexcus-
able loss of many lives which
otherwise might have been saved.
DIR. Everett I. Evans of Rich.
mond, Va, member of the Ma.
tional Research Councils Commit.
tee on Atomic Casualties, said il
an article in the American Med,
ical Association Journal that {
large majority of the injured sur
vivors would be suffering from the
heat of the bomb blast rather thar
from atomic radiation.
A particularly disturbing fea-
ture, he added, "is the plain truth
that few physicians and fewer lay
persons are trained in even the
simple methods of burn care"

Of TOO forms of radioactive

Leon H. Jacobsen of the Univer-
sity of Chicago. The 700 are iso-
topes or different forms of 96
chemical elements.
The useful ones include iodine,
PHOSPHORUS, gold and cobalt.
Iodine particularly has been
found helpful in some cases of
overactive thyroid glands and
cancer of the thyroid. Radio
iodine concentrates in the thyroid
gland or in new sites of cancer
spreading from there and emits
rays that can destroy cancer cells,

Nine of fifty persons with thy

Radiophosphorus some m
helps against leukemia, or cancer
OF the blood, extending life for
a few months. It also is helpful
against another blood disease
.polycythemia vera, in which there
are too many red blood cells.
Phosphorus also has benefited
temporarily some people with can

useful in diagnosing brain tumors
and sometimes in showing the
extent of the spread, close under

Associated Press Science Editor

LONDON, July 28. - Bold new
attempts to fight cancer with
Ipeacetime radioactive atoms from
atomic ovens were described today
II to the Sixth international Con-
gress on Radiology.
Radioactive gold is injected by
needle into the abdomen to COM
bat cancer which has spread
through the area.
Radioactive or ''hot" atoms of
such common things as sodium,
bromine or cobalt are put inside
plastic bags which then are placed
inside cancer-ridden bladders.
News to Americans.
These uses of radioactive atoms
news to most American SCENT
ists-were reported by DR.. D. w.
Smithers of London and DR.. j. H.
Muller of Zurich, Switzerland.
DR.. Smithers told of injecting
salt solutions of radioactive gold
into the abdomens of five persons
with advanced cancer. One woman
had cancer of her ovaries. The
ovaries were removed but the
cancer had spread to new spots
in her abdomen, which painfully
was distended with fluid.
Injections of gold reduced the
pain and swelling. Six months
later the woman felt well and re-
turned to work, he said. But he
cautioned that it was much too
early to classify this recovery as
a cure of the cancer.
Others Have Benefited.
DR.. Muller said radiozinc and
radiogold injected in much the
same way had benefited other
women whose cancers had spread
through the abdomen.
Some forms of radiozinc and
radiogold injected into veins
seemed to locate in the lungs" DR.
Muller said. This offers hope of
combating lung cancers with these
atoms.
DR.. Smithers told of introducing
plastic bags into human bladders
affected by cancer and then filling
the bags with a solution of radio
sodium of radiebromine. The bags
were left in the bladder for sew
eral hours and then withdrawn.
Early results of these expert
ments are interesting" he said.
DR.. Muller also described similar
methods of treating advanced
cancer of the bladder.

Poor Highways and Rail System
Hamper u. S. Forces in Korea

track railroad which connects with
Taegu-now a communications
junction of top Importance. Com
munist forces have taken the ma
jor points along the line to the
north-Taejon, Suwon, and Seoul.
Pohang. where the famed 1st
Cavalry Division made it's sur
prise amphibious landing, is a
comparatively small port about
SO miles northeast of Pusan. It's
shallow harbor is suitable only
for fishing vessels and light craft.
A long concrete seawall is the
only wharf facility.
Mokpo, Yosu and Masan, south
coast ports, have no deep water
anchorages or facilities for the
massive tonnage needed to build
up counteroffensive. Mokpo al
ready is reported in Communist
hands. and this would make Yosu's
position quite vulnerable.
The scarcity of good ports
available to defending forces is
causing logistical headaches. De-
fense officials have pointed out
that seven tons of equipment must
be landed in Korea with each
fighting man, plus a ton each
month thereafter to keep him
supplied. This does not include
additional tonnages required for
the "build-up" of reserve strength
and material essential for mount
ing a major counteroffensive.
Practically everything used by
American and South Korean
troops must be shipped in. For
tunately, Pusan is only 1875 miles
across Korea Strait from the near
est japanese port on the island
of Honshu. American depots in
Japan can be drawn on for some
supplies. but the great bulk must
come to Pusan from the United
States across some $500 miles of
sea lanes.
Moving supplies from Pusan to
the front is another vexatious
problem. The main highways
would not be considered secondary
roads in the United States. Little
OF the mileage is hard-surfaced.
rains, now in season,
frequently wash out road sections
and bridges. Rivers rise quickly
with flash floods. AS for the
double track railway line to Taegu,
1t has scores of tunnels and bridges
and these are difficult to protect

and mountainous, the rugged ma

The most dominant feature in
the area is the Sobaek mountain

From the air, the terrain of
Southern Korea looks like a sea

Mccarthy Paid Off,

Senator Mccarthy and Owen
baltimore were involved in a
sharp new dispute today, with the
Wisconsin Republican limiting at
a Communist pay-of and Mr.
baltimore retorting:
THE only person who has been
paid of is Mccarthy"
The Senator said yesterday
that Mr.. baltimore sold half
interest in a Vermont farm to
two Communists" at a profit.
Senator Mccarthy said he had
no evidence that Mr.. baltimore
was or was not being paid off"
But, he said, there is no secret
about it that the way the Com
munist Party handles its pay-offs
and contributions is often by the
transfer of property"
At Wellefieet, Mass, Mr.. Latti-
more told a reporter he had sold
the property ito complete

nothing and of whom had previ-
ously never heard" Senator Nc
Carthy's methods, he added, are
mot less base and despicable than
they have been right along"

Senator Mccarthy has de-
scribed Mr.. baltimore, Far
Eastern affairs specialist now
teaching at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, as Russias top spy in
this country-a charge Mr.. Latti-
more vigorously denied.
The baltimore case was de-
scribed by Senator Mccarthy as
the keystone of his charges that
the State Department harbors
Communists and pro-Communists.
Last week, the three Democrats
on a Senate investigating sub
committee issued a report clear
ing Mr. baltimore and denounc-
ing all of Senator McCarthy's ac-
cusations as "a fraud and hoax"
Senator Hickenlooper, Republi-
can, of Iowa said today he is
drafting a report assailing "the
complete inadequacy" of the Sen
ate committees inquiry. He said
his document probably will be
ready for distribution early next
week.

any real investigation and no
justification whatever for issuance

tor Mccarthy proposed that some
congressional committee look into

his wife of the Vermont land.

mores bought their half interest

Mary Southard.
He described the Southards as

Southard ran for Governor in
Alabama in 1912 on the Commu-
mist ticket, and that his wife ran

ful-and usually lonely--cam-
paign to get the Senate to cut
individual items in its $34. $685.
100000 one-package appropria-
tions bill.
He told a reporter he wasn't
licked yet. He has prepared an
amendment to trim $500 million
out of the bill through "selective
cuts" And if that fails, he added,
then he might try to reduce some
of the House-approved items that
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee left untouched.
Battle Lasts All Afternoon.
Yesterdays battle centered
around the $731 $4,000 appropri-
alton recommended by the COM
mittee for the Army Engineers to
carry on river, harbor and flood
control work. 1t lasted all after
noon.
Primarily through the efforts of
Southern, Midwestern and West
ern lawmakers, whose areas the
proposed cuts would have affected
most, the amount was left un-
changed. Here is the box score:
/. A Douglas proposal to trim
the appropriations so per cent for
an estimated savings of $3.50 mil
lion died when he failed to get
the Senate even to consider it.
2. A so per cent cut sponsored
by Senators Bridges, Republican,
of Michigan, and Saltonstall.
Republican, of Massachusetts,
aimed at an estimated 1855
million savings, fell on a roll call
vote of At to %.
3. A Douglas amendment for
a 40 per cent cut was overwhelmed
by voice vote.
4. An amendment by Senator
Williams, Republican, of Delaware
for Is per cent cut also likewise
died on voice vote.
5. A Douglas amendment, sar-
castle in nature, to trim the seven
major items under discussion by

McKellar AssailS Cuts.
Chairman McKellar of the
Appropriations Committee bitterly
denounced all attempts to cut the
bill. He argued it would be much
wiser to follow the recommends
tions of the committee, which had
studied the projects for six
months, rather than consider a
plan brought up at the last
minute"
Senator McKellar got some
powerful support from Senators
Mcclellan, Democrat, of Arkansas
and Senate Republican Leader
Wherry of Nebraska.
Senator Wherry said Senator
Douglas approach was the wrong
way to save money. He offered
