Nations Doctors to Train
In Atom War Preparedness
lx the Asxociated Press

BY the Assoeioted Press
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Mar. 25.-
A Nationwide program of intensi-
fled training in medical prepared
ness against atomic warfare will
start tomorrow.
Approximately 80 physicians
from seven Eastern States will
take a one-week course at a new
million dollar training center for
atomic energy medical problems at
the University of Rochester.
Johns Hopkins University will
conduct a similar program next
week for States in that region.
Other regional programs will be
conducted later in the spring at
medical schools in various other
parts of the Nation.
The trainees will return to their
home communities to train others
who in turn will pass on their
knowledge of the subject to doc
tors, nurses, dentists and allied
professions at the local level.
The courses are part Of Ma
tion-wide medical preparedness
project organized by the National
Security and Resources Board.
The Atomic Energy Commission is
sponsoring the initial training
courses.

Doctors Exaggerate
Peril Of A-Bomb Rays,
Army Physician Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

An Army doctor declared yes
terday that many physicians have
exaggerated the dangers of atomic
radiation, while the Navy dis
closed research with pink-eyed
mice to find means of protection
from such a peril.
Maj. G. M. Mcdonnell, the
Army physician. said it was safe
to enter bombed area two min
utes after the blast of any air
burst bomb-and that physicians
and everyone else should bear this
in mind lest there be unnecessary
delay in rescue work if atomic dis
aster strikes this Nation.
He said this would be true for
any A-bomb. provided it were
burst high in the air. He declared
that this would seem to be the
most likely method. used in any
attack since an air burst causes
the greatest amount of deStruc-
ton. He is with the Armed Forces
Special Weapons Project.

Navy scientists reported that
they already had achieved some
protection against atomic radia-
tion in mice by injecting COM
plex chemical called "glutathione"
into the animals before exposing
them.
But they emphasized that it was
Every, very doubtful" that this
particular chemical would be ap-
plicable to man because of the
size of the doses needed. The i'm
mediate Importance of the re-
search, they said. is that it sug-
gests that protection may be
possible in men as we'll as mice.
The big job now is to determine
exactly how the chemical used
on the mice produced its benefi-
cial effect.
Once that is determined, it may
then be possible to utilize other
substances that would be appli-
cable to man. or to modify The
mouse-protector in such way
that it could be used in man.
"Never Mind Waiting"
If A-bombs are employed in an
attack. said DR.. Mcdonnell, rescue
workers should be prepared to go
in fast with bandages, blood and
bulldozers-"and never mind wait
ing for a Geiger counter to see Il
the radioactivity is within safe
limits
And they will find, he said, that
q large majority of the survivors
will be suffering from burns, cuts
and fractures-not radiation.
The reason, said DIR. Mcdonnell,
is that the range of blast and heat
effects OF an air-burst oomb great
.ly exceeds the range in which ra-
dioactivity can cause death or
injury.
DR.. Mcdonnell did not minimize
radiation as peril of atomic
combat. He said 5000 died from
radioactivity at Hiroshima.
But he pointed out that these
constituted only Is per cent OF
the total of 10000 deaths.
At Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he
said, deaths and injuries resulted
from radiation within radius of
one and one seventh miles from
the spot directly beneath the
bomb burst.
Blistering, second-deg burns
were suffered by persons about 2 y
miles away, Maj. Mcdonnell said,
and within reasonable limita-
tions" these same ranges would
apply to A-bombs more powerful
than those used on Japan. He did
not amplify this point.

The congeniality Of the group
is maintained further by the re-
quirement that new applicants for
membership be sponsored by three
members.

Roy Orndorff, head OF the Lee
Heights group, will be in charge
of the anniversary program III
October.
Since it became too large to
meet in the homes of members, the

the Parish Hall of st. Mary S
Church. Because st. Mary's is
now being enlarged, however, next
years meetings will take place IN
the Neighborhood House OF the

Succeeds Lutheran
Ex-Bishop 0rdass

AS Lutheran Bishop Dezsery took
office, Hungary's Catholic bishops
in a new pastoral letter replied
to a recent speech in which Edu-
cation Minister JOSEF Revai
threatened abolition of religious
instruction in secondary schools
and curtailment of Catholic orders
Of monks and nuns.
The bishops urged parents to
request religious instruction for
their children for the coming
school year. They said recent ac-
tion against some cloisters and
monasteries usually had been the
work Of irresponsible official
groups.
The new Lutheran bishop, one
Of the youngest ever to hold such
office in Hungary, in a 30-page
"open letter" in 1948 urged his
church to seek conciliation with
the country's Communicated gov
ernment. Ttwas considered appar-
ent here that he had been named
to succeed Bishop Ordass because
OF the views expressed in the
widely circulated pamphlet.

The Woodbridge market said ii
had no plans to try to get milk
from other dairies.
Stores in Leesburg, Purcellville
and Bluemont, Va, sell milk from
the Loudoun Farms Dairy, which
is not affected by the strike. They
reported no unusual rush yester-
day-most were closed-and have
not yet stepped up their output
w. Lawson King, who has five
large farms in the Gaithersbure
area, said he did a land Office
business in raw milk yesterday
He said he has the milk but peo-
pie must have their own con-
tainers.
Mr.. King said most farmers ir
the area would sell milk to people
who need it. He emphasized that
the milk. which is grade A, is
available on his farm only in the
late afternoon because milk pro-
duced in the morning is being
sent to a processing plant on the
Eastern Shore.

Cross Roads, Va, which normally
sells Alexandria Dairy milk, today
is trying to get delivery from the

Doctor Urges Use of Taft Act.
The Health Department said
certificates for children's milk will
be issued through maternal and
child welfare clinics for all chill
dren on the clinic rolls.
Meanwhile DR.. Joseph S. Wall,
chief of staff of Children's Hos
pital, said the milk shortage is a
danger to infants health, and
called for use of the Taft-Hartley
Act to halt the strike.
This is outrageous" he de-
cleared. 1T is going to be bad,
maybe worse. The Taft Hartley
Act ought to be invoked by some
one, since the health of the people
issthreatened."
DR.. Wall. a pediatrician with a
large private practice. said he had
been flooded with telephone calls
from parents of infants for the
prescriptions needed to get milk.
Raw Milk Warning Issued.
Health Officer Daniel L. Seek
niger urged that evaporated and
non=fat dry milk, aVailable ut
most groceries, be used for infant
feeding when regular milk is not
available.
Raw milk, he declared, should
be used with grave suspicion" If
used by adults. DR.. Seckinger
said, the raw milk should be pas
teurized at home. The procedure
is to place the milk in the inner
container of double boiler. The
water in the outer container
should be boiled for at least 80
minutes. The milk then should
be cooled quickly and stored in a
refrigerator.

Critic Of Mindszenty
Gets Bishop S Post

BUDAPEST, Hungary, June IL
-Hungary's largest diocese of the
Lutheran Church has a new
bishop who favors cooperation
with the country's Communicated
government.
The new prelate, the Rev. Laszlo
Dezsery. 36, succeeds former Bish-
op Lajos Ordass. Bishop Ordass
last month was released from
prison after serving almost 20
months of a two-year sentence
for currency speculation. He had
been removed from Office by q
special church court April 2.
CBoth Bishop Ordass' convic-
ton and his removal from Of
flee were protested by the Lu-
theran World Federation. He
was convicted of failing to re-
port a $500, 900 gift from United
States LutheranS. The fedora
ton said the gift amounted to
100000. that it was trans
mitted through the Hungarian
National Bank. and that it thus
became matter of record.)
Mr.. Dezsery in 1948 attacked

of Hungary'S Roman Catholic
hierarchy, as a representative o1

ergies to fomenting aggression and
preparing for war"
But Senate Minority Leader
Wherry noted that the President
had nothing to say about sub
