By the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, Dec. 30.-Dis-
covery of a potent extra striking
power in radioactive atoms was
announced today to the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science.
Two kinds of these atoms, used
together, make each other more
powerful in their effects on the
living body. Used alone, each has
a certain strength or effect. Given
together, they produce effects
greater than the sum of their in
dividual powers. They make two
plus two equal five.
This means that doctors must
be extra careful If they give a
human more than one kind of
radioactive atom at a time, said
DR.. Hymer Friedell and DR.. James
H. Christie of Western Reserve
University, Cleveland.
Did Research for Acc.
They discovered the step-up of
power in research for the Atomic
Energy Commission. They used
several kinds of radioactive atoms
or isotopes made in atomic ovens.
This extra or adding effect is
known as synergism. Penicillin and
Sulfa drug. used together. will
hit harder at some diseases by
reinforcing each other in this
way, for example.
This is the first time that any
synergistic or additive effect has
been shown in radiation. Radio
active atoms produce beneficial or
harmful effects by shooting out
atomic particles or radiation to
hit living cells.
Worked With Rats.
Drs. Friedell and Christie worked
with albino rats, but said their
results probably apply to humans
too.
When Is rats were given a GER
tain amount of radioactive gold,
six of the rats died. Of another
Is. given radioactive strontium,
six died. When they gave Is rats
only half as much gold and half
as much strontium, 13 of the rats
died. The killing power was more
than doubled.
They were similar results in
using radioactive PHOSPHORUS and

MILAN. - The construction of

Extra Striking Power Found
In Use of Radioactive Atoms

gold together, or PHOSPHORUS and
Strontium.
1t is not yet clear how this extra
effect comes about. The reason
may be because the radioactive
atoms concentrate in different
parts of the body, mainly damag-
ing those parts. The gold goes
mainly to the liver and spleen
and bit to the bone marrow
Strontium goes almost entirely to
the bone and bone marrow.
Cuts Down Blood Cells.
The injury to the liver and
spleen perhaps cuts down the abil-
ity Of the bone marrow to make
blood cells. This ability is already
damaged by the other kind OF
radioactive atoms.
Physicians are using the radio
active isotopes to treat or diagnose
several kinds of human ills. The
amounts, however, are too small
and too diluted to cause harm by
themselves.
Radioactive gold is used some
times for leukemia, or cancer of
the blood, and certain other tu-
mors. Others used are radioactive
sodium, to diagnose some heart
conditions; radioactive iodine to
locate brain tumors or diagnose or
treat thyroid cancer or an over
active thyroid gland; cobalt for
treating tumors, and phosphorus
for determining the extent of
brain tumors or treating chronic
leukemia and a blood disease,
polycythemia vera, marked by
over-production of red blood cells.
