some of the radiation may not
reach the ground, SO the range
may be less. If it is exploded
much lower, the radiation also
may not reach out as far, be-
cause it would be blocked by
the ground or by buildings.
A little more than a mile
away, the principal effects of
the few dying rays that struck
you could be seen only as tenn
porary blood changes in a doc
tors examination. You probably
wouldn't even realize you had
been exposed.
A little less than a mile from
the explosion center, if you are
unprotected, you are almost sure
to suffer illness. Less than two
thirds of a mile away, those
caught in the open are pretty
sure to soak up a fatal dose of
radioactivity.
Still, the possibility of your
being caught without some pro-
lection is not very great. Even
if you are on the street, there
is a good chance that a build
ing, or many buildings, will be
between you and the burst, and
they will partially or completely
shield you.
Atomic explosions high above
ground cause the most wide
spread damage. And, as happen
ed in Japan, when an A-bomh
goes off in the air you are far
more Likely to be hurt by the
bombs blast and heat waves
than by it's radioactivity. AT
Hiroshima and Nagasaki slightly
over one-half of all deaths and
injuries were caused by blast
Nearly one-third of the casual
ties were from the heat flash
Radioactivity alone caused
only about IS percent of al
deaths and injuries.
If the bomb we're to go of
close to the ground, or slightly
below it's surface. the range Of
the explosive radiation. as vel
as the range of the blast anC
heat, would be reduced. This is
due to the fact that all three
would be partially blocked by
the earth. by nearby buildings
and by other obstacles.
In an underwater burst, there
would be much less to feal
from blast and nothing to fea]
from heat. Practically all thu
I explosive radioactivity would bt
absorbed by the water. How.
ever, there would be the seconc
type of radioactivity to be de,
scribed later on.

WHAT ABOUT
RADIOACTIVITY
In g all stories about atomic
weapons, there is a great deal
about radioactivity.
Radioactivity is the only way
besides size-in which the eff
fects of A or H bombs are diff
ferent from ordinary bombs.
But, with the exception of un-
derWater or ground explosions,
the radioactivity from atomic
bursts is much less to be fear
ed than blast and heat.
Radioactivity is not new or
mysterious. In the form of cos
mic rays from the sky, all of us
have been continually lombard
ed by radiation every hour and
day of our lives. We all have
also breathed and eaten very
small amounts of radioactive
materials without even knowing
it. For over half a century, doc
tors and scientists have expert
mented and worked with X
rays and other penetrating
forms of energy. Because of all
this experience, we actually
know much more about radio
activity and what it does to
people than we know about in
fantile paralysis, colds, or some
other common diseases.
It is easy to understand how
radioactivity works if we think
of how sunlight behaves.
In the northern part of the
world, winters slanting sun rays
seldom cause sunburn, but the
hotter rays of the summer sun
often do. Still, just a few mo-
ments in the midsummer sun
will not give you a tan or sun
burn. You have to stay in its
hot rays for some time before
you get a burn. What's more,
bad sunburn on just the face
and hands may hurt, but it
won't seriously harm you. On
the other hand, if it covers
your whole body, it can make
you very sick, or sometimes
even cause death.
In the same way, the harm
that can come to you from ra-
dioactivity will depend on the
power of the rays and particles
that strike you, upon the length
Of time you are exposed to
them, and on how much of
your body is exposed.

WHAT is T
RADIOACTIVITY?

| Broadly speaking, atomic eX-
plosions produce two different
kinds of radioactivity. First
and most important in an air

full invisible burst of rays anu
particles thrown off at the time
of explosion This kind is called

ity. It's rays and particles tiv

There is danger from them only
for little more than a minute.
The second type of radioactivity
lingering radioactivity-Will be
described later.
The injury range of the eX-
plosive radioactivity from a
modern A-bomb is a little over
l mile, if the bomb is exploded
about 1000 feet in the air. If
it is exploded much higher,

ect. and installation of concrete ir-
rigation structures for control of the
water is under way. When this job
is finished, the farms in division No.
2 will be ready.
Leased Temporarily
AS soon as the land was leveled
and the distribution system con-
structed, it was leased temporarily
to a cooperative, the Buffalo Rapids
Farm association, formed by local
farmers. This was to make the land
produce some income pending the
time the farms were ready for sale.
Further, this offered an opportunity
to have the land in soil-building
crops for period before it was sold.
Sale of the farms took place in
small groups as soon as they were
ready. To date, 81 units have been
sold in four groups ranging from 8
to 23 in number. Twenty-Five units
and a community pasture (some
dryland that lies above the main
supply canaD were ready for sale
last fall. Eight units are withheld
from sale until the main drain is

The department of agriculture's
job was to procure the land, lay out
the farm units, level the land, de-
velop it for irrigation, lay out the

$4,000 Acres in Project
This project is in narrow strip
about so miles long adjacent to the
Yellowstone river from Glendive to
Terry. Four pumping plants along

IT WAS ONLY a six-mile move
for John Sura, his wife, Meta, and
son, James. But in a sense it was
a long journey--from $50 acres of
low-grade dryland and precarious
existence to 103 irrigated acres and
greater security.
For the Suras were the first set
tiers in division No. l of the Buffalo
Rapids irrigation project near Glen
dive, the first of its kind to be COM
p1eted in the state.
They have farmed this place for
eight years now, and know what
this project means to the people.
They raise most of the feed for a
58-head dairy herd. That's little
over 215 acres of land per head; on
the dryland it took 10 times that
much.
'I don't think I ever could go
back to the old farm" Mrs. Sura ex-
planned. 'We lived there over Is
years. We had some good years, and
we had some bad ones. I'll never
forget the terrible drouth in the
1905. We never were sure, and we
couldn't have a lawn and flowers.
Lawn. Flowers. Garden
"Now," she said, 1--WE have this
beautiful lawn around the house,
and flowers and trees and garden.
Oh, it's so much nicer living here.
That means a lot"
The Suras, of course, aren't the
first Montanans to move onto a new
irrigation project. They are, how
ever, the first to move onto one

the unfortunate diversion of the in stitute into Communist trans mission belt, particularly its inter locking relations with "Amerasia. " I understand that before he died, Dr. Wilbur was responsible for the employment of Clayton Lane, who swept the left wing out of the in- stitute
 No matter what MT. Lane has accomplished in this direction, the record shows that when pr. Philip Jessup was at the head of this organization, the left wing was in control of it's operating staff.
 In all fairness, it must be ad- mitted that this does not necessarily make Dr. Jessup a Communist or pro- Communist or pro-Russian. It does establish CD either an in- capicity to distinguish between Communists and anti Communists; or @ a lack of understanding of the problem; or (3) intellectual laziness.
 Yet, this man has been entrusted with our Asiatic policy. Take, for instance, his White Paper on China. This 1,054-page volume is supposed to tell all. AS I have of- ten pointed out, its suppressions and omissions make of it a dis honest document, a piece of special pleading which would lose a case before any court. For instance, crucial in this matter is the letter of instructions given to General George Marshall when he went to China on his Hateful mission No one can altogether understand why Russia was able to conquer China, with American consent, without "a look at that letter. Annexes 61 and 62 do not cover the instructions but are a diversion from them.

5fo(k Car Racer
 Speeds 10 Death

ATLANTA, March 27- R "A young stock car racer sped to his death on the first turn as the dirt track season opened in At lanta.
 James Brinkley, 24-year old mechanic of Hapeville, Ga, making the third start of his racing career yesterday, was heading for the turn in 10-mile heat race when his car hit the bank.
 He was thrown out and as the auto rolled over, pinned beneath it.
