unknows as the circulation of
sea waters. the exchange of wa
ter between the surface layers
and the great depths, and the
effects of radiation on marine
organisms. Creatures of the
land have been exposed to a
certain background radiation for
millions of years and have come
more or less into adjustment
with it. Ocean animals and
plants have received relatively
very minute amounts and theo-
retically, at least. should have
developed more stable systems.
The seas pick up radioactivity,
the report shows, very rapidly.
Two days after one of the Pa
|cific test explosions, the radio
activity of surface waters near
Bikini was a million times great
er than the natural level. Diffu-
sion also is very rapid, with
consequent dilution. -Four
months later the radoactivity
was found to be four times nor
NAL $500 miles from the test
area. Thirteen months later
the contaminated water mass
had spread over a million square
miles, but in such dilution that
it was no longer dangerous.
Up to now. however, the COM
mittee believes that there has
been no permanent damage to
sea life, except possibly in quite
localized areas, from the weap-
ons tests. But there is an end
less ENTHUSIASTICALLY more
than among land organisms.
The greater part of the life of
the sea is plant life and it is
composed chiefly of microscopic
plants which tend to concentrate,
sometimes many thousand fold
the elements that are necessary
to their existence. They would
make no discrimination against
radioactive forms of these ele-
mentS. The plants are eaten by
sea animals which naturally
would get proportionate doses
OF radiation for which they have
no evolved natural protection.
Problems Of Dumping
Now, it is pointed out, when
full predicted atomic power
production is reached, the
amount of atomic waste dumped
in the seas-if that is the
method Of disposal finally
adopted-will represent from 100
to 200 per cent of the present
natural radioactivity Of the
oceans.
Much may depend, it Is
stressed, on where the radio
active debris is dumped. Per.

an increasing rate as long as
civilization lasts. Eventually, it
is likely that the greater part
of this waste will be dumped in
the seas, raising problems which
hardly have been considered to
date, although they may over
shadow most other problems of
the supposedly coming atomic
age.

They wash all the earth. They

oceans themselves are very

the land. The best known ma

UNI, potassium and thorium, are
from 5000 to l million times

the sea. Radioactive potassium.
responsible for 80 per cent of
the radiation in salt water, is
about 80 per cent more abundant
on land.
These little-known factors are
stressed in a report prepared for
the National Academy of Sci
ences by a committee of ocea-
nographers headed by DR.. Roger
Revelle of the University Of CAL
ifornia. At present most indus
trial and hospital radioactive
wastes are dumped in the ocean
in containers which presumably
will hold in the radiation for
many years. The amounts
dumped to date, however, have
been negligible.

Go At Your Own Risk
Primarily, it's your lookout.
This is what lawyers refer to
as assumption OF risk" What
they mean is that spectators at
tending sports events which in
volve known dangers accept that
risk, legally. when they decide
to go to the game.
OF course, this includes expo

Destiny's role in Rabbi Bill
gray's life has been a drama
tic one. Some of his story is
not known to many who have
been close to him thru all
these years tho he has been
one of Tucson's religious lead
erS. Who knows "What might
have been" if the Bilgray FAM
lily hadn't left Ratche, Austria
for an extended vacation trip
in 1912?
Albert Bilgray was two
years old. His father was a
prosperous lumberman and
decided to take his wife and
young son on a European tour
including Palestine. The Bill
gray family was in Palestine
in 1914, when World War 1 be-
gan. Since it was impossible to
return, they S e t tt e d there.
They were one of the pioneer
families who f o u n d e d Tel
Aviv. His father became as
sociated with the Anglo-Pales-
tine Bank, in charge of the
Foreign Department. Here his
fluent knowledge of ten Ian
guages made him indispens-
able. In young Tel Aviv, AL
bert Bilgray became a school
boy and his native tongue was
Hebrew.
The Bilgray family would
have probably stayed in Pales-
tine permanently. There was
now a baby daughter, who
was born there in 1916 How
ever, young Albert developed
some difficulty with his eyes,
and it was decided that better
medical care was dVdlldDle III
the U. S. In 1920 the Bilgray
family arrived and went
directly to Chicago. There, AL
bert received the needed treat
ment. The family decided to
settle in Chicago.
Albert Bilgray knew while
still in high S C h ool that he
wanted to be a rabbi. He grad
uated from John Marshall and
from the University of Chi
cago. In 1885, he completed
his rabbinical education at the
Hebrew Union College. Since
