Federation President Hiram N
Rasely, Boston, asked:
Might private enterprise schools
not wonder whether the tactics
by VA do not serve some
purpose = a purpose, perhaps,
to cover up some mistakes. 1t
may be in the college level field
where this terrible cost of training

that is where the blame should be
laid"

DR.. Warren said that the. waters

atomic test explosions was con-
Quoted. contain "only trace guam
titles of radiation" Some plants
on the island have picked up radi-
alton of a low order of intensity
he added.
Tag Shows Victims Chances.
Congress already has learned
that a new dog tag" has been
developed which will separate
those who wear it in an atomic
attack into two classes-one that
will get medical treatment and
one that won't.
If the tag turns blue. it indi-
Gates the wearer has been SUBJ
jected to so much radiation that
known medical treatment won't
help and the victim will die.
Rear Admiral Clifford A. Swan
son, naval chief of medicine and
surgery, explained to the House
Appropriations Committee that
the gadget is called "dosimeter. -
He said it was one of the most
significant medical developments
since the last war.
"Skin Banks" Sought.
The indicators color changes
with exposure to radiation. If
it is white or only family tinged
with blue after an atomic at
tack, the wearer probably can be
saved by medical attention. If
it's blue. however, it will be too
bad.
The Navy asked for $2,292 900
for medical research, including
development of a skin bank
somewhat similar to the blood
banks that grew out of the last
war.
Admiral Swanson saidr.a way
has been found to keep skin two
weeks before using it in grating.
He said that is important be-
cause in case of an atomic at
tack there would be lot of skin

In response to another question,
DR.. Warren said that dark glasses
would be no safeguard for the eyes
against an atomic blast, since the
radiation would go right through
the lens.
DR.. Warren testified that many
injuries in atomic blasts resulted
from flash burns" resulting from
brief exposure to radiant heat of
high intensity. He said the Acc

NAL burns under way at the Uni

leadership of DR.. Herman Pearse.
Buildings Absorb Radiation.
DR.. Warren gave his testimony
in calm and matter-o fact
voice. He was questioned in some
detail by members of the COM
mittee on the effects of atomic
blasts at different distances.
He said that IA inches of con-
crete would be required to pro-
tect an individual from serious
injury if blast occurred 5000

lively safe in the open three
miles from the blast, he added.
Representative Holifield, Demo-
crat, of California asked if this
did not apply only to the Hiro-
shima and Nagasaki type of bomb.
Yes, SIR" DR.. Warren replied.
He also pointed out that the in
terror of building, if it Withstood
a blast, would be relatively safe.
AS for the type of buildings, DR..
Warren said there was mo choice

rough, coarse type of wall would
soak up more radiation"

DR.. Warren said that the areas

Sports And Historians
BY Maude Taniunson

Well, now that the football sea-
son is thing of the past, maybe
the fans and the rest of the world
will be able to settle down to a
period of comparative quiet. I
sometimes wonder just how the
historians of the future will write
about sports, at least in the Unit
ed States during the last part of
the Observation-Disclosures CEN
tury. Perhaps they will write as
do the present historian IS of
the sports of Greeks and Romans
before they began their descent
into obscurity. Certainly there is
a period of madness for many
from the start of the first football
game until the last game at the
turn of the year.
Thrift And Tickets
Another bit of madness in re-
gard to the Sugar Bowl game is
the price paid for tickets. Thrifty
people took advantage of this
madness by offering to exchange
their tickets for all kinds of
things. know because. | saw il
Ia handicapped coffee table,

said that he'd be willing to pay
any price for tickets as his most

folks that got the coffee table ad-
vertised-as did several others.
that they would exchange their
table--and by golly they got it.
Others advertised, too. and prob
ably got what they wanted.
Heavenly Interlude
And those folks who do not
take their football too seriously
will be able to listen to the radio
without hearing references to
"huddles" ''time out downs" and
"no-downs'. and so on into the
