miles down-wind. 1t Is estimated
that the level Of radioactivity
would have been sufficient to
have seriously threatened the
lives of S to 10 per cent of any
persons who might have re-
manned exposed out Of doors for
all of the first SO hours.
Thus. about 1000 square miles
of territory down-wind from the
point of burst was so contami-
mated that survival might have
depended upon prompt evacua-
tion of the area or upon taking
,, shelter and other protective
measures.
| At a distance of 220 miles or
more down-wind, it is unlikely
that any deaths would have oc-
Cured from radioactivity even
if persons there had remained
exposed up to 48 hours and had
taken no safety measures.
The estimates cited above do
not apply uniformly throughout
the contaminated area inasmuch
as the intensity of radioactiyity
within a region of heavy fall-out
will vary from point to point. due
to such factors as air currents,
rain, snow, and other atmos-
pheric conditions. Because of
this and because most persons.
! If given sufficient warning, prob
ably would evacuate the area or
take shelter and other precau-
tionary measures. the actual per-
centage of fatalities could rea-
sonably be presumed to be con-
| siderably smaller than these ex-
| treme estimates.
PROTECTION AGAINST
FALL-OUT.
In an area of heavy fall-out
the greatest Pathological hazard
is that of exposure to external
radiation, which can be greatly
reduced by simple precautionary
measures. Exposure can be re-
duced by taking shelter and by
simple decentralization meas
ures. Test data indicates that
the radiation level, i.e., the rate
of exposure, indoors on the first
floor of an ordinary frame house
in fall-out area would be about
one-half the level out of doors.
Even greater protection would
be afforded by a brick or stone
house. Taking shelter il the
basement of an average residence
would reduce the radiation level
to about one-tenth that expert
enced out of doors. Shelter in
an old-fashioned cyclone cellar.
with covering Of earth three
feet thick. would reduce the ra-
diation level to about 10000, or
down to a level completely safe,
in even the most heavily con-
taminated area. Designs of shell
tiers of simple yet effective con-
struction have been prepared by
the Civil Defense Administration
and are available to the public.
Radioactive material deposited
during the fall-out may or may
not be visible but would be re-
vealed by radiation detection. in
struments such as geiger coun-
.ters. Any falling dust or ash that
can be seen down-wind within a
few hours after a nuclear ex-
plosion should be regarded as
radioactive until measured by a
radiation detection instrument.
Care should be taken to avoid
the use of solid foods or liquids
that may contain fall-out par
ticles.
If fall-out particles come into
contact with the skin, hair. or
clothing. prompt decontamina-
ton precautions such as have
been outlined by the Federal
Civil Defense Administration will
greatly reduce the danger. These
include such simple measures as
thorough bathing of exposed
parts of the body and change
of clothing.

miles from the point of burst.
The hazard has been success
fully confined to the controlled
area of the test site. The high
est actual dose of radiation at
an off-site community has been
estimated to be less than one
third of the greatest amount of
radiation which atomic energy
workers are permitted to receive
each year under the Atomic En-
ergy Commissions conservative
safety standards.
CONCLUSION.
In the event of war involving
the use of atomic weapons, the
fall-out from large nuclear
bombs exploded on or near the
surface of the earth would Gre
ate serious hazard to civilian
populations in large areas out
side the target zones. The Atomic
Energy Commission hopes that
these dangers will never be ex-
perienced by mankind. However,
until the possibility of an atomic
attack against us is eliminated
by workable international plan
for general disarmament, the
study and evaluation of the
effects of weapons which might
be used against us and the i'm
provement of our means of self
defense are a paramount duty of
our Government.

Nevada Atomic TEST
Again Postponed as
Winds Pose Danger
BY the A..oeio,.d Pres.

LAS VEGAS. New, Feb. I6.-
Atomic scientists meet today to
decide whether they can touch
of tomorrow the twice delayed
opening detonation of the new
nuclear test series called Opera
ton Teapot.
High, shifting winds nave de-
layed the initial shot, originally
scheduled just before dawn yes
terday.
The second postponement last
night emphasized the Atomic
Energy Commissions concern
for public safety from radiation
fall-out. Winds up to 100 knots
were forecast at higher alti-
tudes, and test officials ind:-
Gated the swift currents would
pose a threat to the southeast
corner of Nevada near Lake
Mead.
The renewed delay was remi-
niscent of the start of the 1851
fall test series here, Operation
Buster-Jangle, which was post
poned several times.
Among those anxious for the
getaway blast is Acc Chairman
Lewis L. Strauss, who yesterday
released details of the H-bomb's
radioactive potency and stressed
the need for more civil defense
work in this series.
While there will be no hydro
gen weapons tested here, Mr..
Strauss disclosures pointed up
the general lack of public
knowledge Of how to guard
against nuclear or thermonuclear
attack. 1

GENETIC EFFECTS
OF RADTATION

There is a wide range of ad-
missible opinion as to the genet;c
effects which radiation might
have upon future generations,
and conclusive data are not avail
able at present on which to base
an incontrovertible forecast.
However. it is important to rec
ognize that the average amount
of radiation exposure received
by residents of the United States
from all nuclear detonat.ons to
date has been about the same as
the exposure received from one
chest X-ray. The commissions S
medical and biological advisers
do not believe that this small
amount of additional exposure is
any basis for serious concern at
this time.
BLAST AND HEAT EFFECTS
Two important characteristics
of any nuclear, explosion, other
than those from fall-out. are the
effects of blast and heat, which
art of the same nature for a
thermonuclear bomb as for the
earlier and smaller atomic
bombs. The intensity and area
of the blast and heat effects in
crease in relation to the greater
energy yield of the explosion.
Much information on these two
effects has already been pub
lished by the Atomic Energy
Commission, but it might be re-
called that an atomic bomb of
the earliest type. equivalent to
10000 tons of TINT, would pro-
duce blast and heat sufficient to
destroy, or damage severely,
buildings within a radius of more
than one mile from the explosion
point. The United States has

Atomic Committee. told news
men the Acc statement "shows
the H-bomb is not as big a
bugaboo as some people have
said; it can be very dangerous,
but the statement shows that
we can keep the problem of pro-
lection under control"
The hydrogen bomb set off
last March l in the test called
Operation Castle" unofficially
has been estimated to have re-
leased a force equivalent to from
II to IA million tons of TNT--or
about 900 to 700 times the power
of the Hiroshima A-bomb.
But bombs in the neighbor-
hood of SO million tons of INT
have been talked about and
theoretically there may be no
limit to the size of H-bombs the
scientists can build.
Mr.. Strauss made it plain that
until a workable disarmament
plan is agreed upon by the ma
tions of the world, the United
States would and must continue
to test its nuclear weapons.
He did not refer to objections
to further H-bOmb tests voiced
in such countries as Japan,
Britain and India-objections
which followed the disclosure
that % japanese fishermen and
greater number of Marshall
Islanders had been burned by
radioactive ash in the explosions
last March.
Recently several American
nuclear scientists have also pro-
posed that this country seek an
agreement to end all such tests.
One of them, DR.. James r.
Arnold of the University of
Chicago, advised that the next
H-bomb test be held in the
United States, where any casual
ties would be American.

Wilson Believes US.
Is Ahead Of Soviet in
Atomic Development

Secretary of Defense Wilson
believes the United States is "out
ahead of" the Soviet Union in
nuclear weapons development
and that the Russians know it..
Expressing that thought at a
Pentagon news conference yes
terday, he also said there was mo
nuclear stalemate" with the So
Wet.
He made the comments in
reply to last weeks boast by Rus
sian Foreign Minister Molotov
that the Soviet is now the No. !
H-bomb power.
The Secretary said Mr.. Molo-
tov may have made the claim to
obscure what is happening in
the Russian government
HE was little careful so that
he wouldn't be completely under
stood" Mr.. Wilson continued.
"Smoke In the Air"
He added he thought much of
the talk emanating from Moscow
after Georgi Malenkov stepped
down as Premier was smoke irr
the air TO distract what really
happened
At the same time, however,
he said that he did not want to
underrate the Russians.
1.-THE thing that bothers me
most" he said. ''is that machines
have no party line. that is they
work as well for the Russians as
they do for us"
Mr.. Wilson said that If Con-
gress fails to pass the admin
istration's new national reserve
plan. the projected cut in the
strength Of the regular armed
forces would be carried out any
way. He said an effort will be
made to get another type OF
reserve plan through Congress If
the one proposed is rejected.
Welcomes Protest.
The Secretary also defended
the right of Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway, Army Chief of Staff,
to oppose the administrators
cutback in the size of the Army.
"If Gen. Ridgway didn't pro-
test I would worry because that
is his job" Mr.. Wilson said.
A reporter pointed out that
Gen. Ridgway was the Secre-
tary's principal military adviser
on the size of the Army and was
asked why he did not take the
generals advice.

advice, you know, and besides !

weapons in the ranges of mill

equivalent.
PROTECTION AGAINST
BLAST AND HEAT.
The hazard from both burn
and blast effects well outside the
central target area would be
reduced greatly by shelter.
Clothing or almost any kind of
shelter would reduce the danger
OF direct burns. although there
might be danger of clothing and
structures becoming ignited. Also.
shelter would materially reduce
the hazard of blast injury by
affording protection against fly
ing or falling debris. AS is gen.
orally known, the shelter afforded
by ordinary city buildings would
not suffice within the central
area surrounding the point of
explosion of a large nuclear
weapon. For this reason, the Fed
eral Civil Defense Administration
recommends evacuation of the
central areas of target zones on
early warning Of approaching at-
tack. ~

INTERNAL RADIATION
EFFECTS.

Two other factors must be
considered in evaluating possible
hazards from radioactive fall
out. The first is the effect of
internal radiation from fall-out
particles swallowed in foods or
liquids. The second is the effect
of radiation upon the germ cells
which transmit inherited char
acteristics from one generation
to another. 1t should be noted
that in neither case is there
reason to believe that weapons
testing programs of the United
States have resulted in any seri-
Gus public hazard.
The radioactive forms of
strontiurn and iodine are the
constituents. Of fall-out which
are of principal concern as in

from nuclear detonations to date
have been monitored at many
localities. and the amounts de-
