MEASURES FOR DEFENDING
OUR GENETIC HERITAGE

There are some indications, especial.
ly from DR.. HQllaender's group at Oak
Ridge, that methods of therapy or
prophylaxis may eventually be devel-
oped which, if applied shortly before
or even Immediately after exposure,
will reduce radiation damage, perhaps
by as much as SO per cent. At least
this can be done in bacteria even in
the case of the mutation-producing eff
feet. There is little indication, how
ever, that harmless, practicable meth
DDS of this kind can be made available
for man in the near future, especially
for radiation occurring at an unpre
dictable time or over an extended per-
iOd, nor do we yet know whether they
would work against the production Of
mutations in man.
One of the measures, then, if war
seems imminent, is to evacuate to the
country, to regions hundreds of miles
dOwnwind with respect especially to
winds of the upper air. from major
cities and strategic points, as many
of the children and young people as
possible, and also of the pregnant
mothers and those with infants. This
is a procedure similar to that which
was successfully carried out on a
large scale in England during World
War II in order to avoid the blast eff
fects of chemical bombs. This very
procedure, however, even
if executed satisfactorily will not save
the genes of the young men or of many
of the young women.
The other major measure for defend
ing our genetic heritage is to take
into account in our plans for civil de-
Tense the very particular need to pro-
tect from exposure the reproductive
cells of our youth. Let people under
thirty and all who are likely later to
reproduce be the last to be accepted
for use after a bombing has occurred |
IN such essential services as rescue |
work, decontamination, bringing in
supplies, transportation, and every
hing else that requires activities that
ire carried on in relatively unshel-
cred situations In this way the older
men may be better assured that, what
ever else has happened, their descend
Ints will not be subjected to a lasting
biological incubus imposed by negli-
renee of which they, the forebears,
lad been guilty.
