Safety Is Irrelevant"

five of the largest bombs would push the
world over the brink
The above maximum risk is calculated for
peacetime, having in mind that children are
far more susceptible than adults to bone can
Ger. But in wartime, when the calculated
risks must be higher, DR.. Lapp estimates the
government would set a maximum safety
level so times higher than in peace, thus &C
cepting the certainty that millions of nom
combatants would contract bone cancer
These facts cannot be unknown to the Acc.
But the Acc philosophy is SO keyed to con-
tinued testing that DR.. Gordon Dunning,
health physicist in the Acc headquarters,
stated in recent report to Congress:
Since continuation of our nuclear test
ing program is mandatory to the defense
of the country, the problem then be-
comes one of defining these risks and
evauating them in the light of what is
best for the peoples of the free world.
In plain English this means that the Acc will
decide what is best for the human race.
DR.. Gioacchini Failla, top radiation ad-
visor to the Acc, was even more frank when
he told LIFE magazine: "The question of
how many H-bombs can be safely exploded
is irrelevant. To remain free we must develop
powerful nuclear bombs We must continue
the testing program" We are not told how
long we can do so without liberating more
radioactive material than the human race
can endure
The only hope for an early end to this
strontium recklessness lies in the sort of bold
U. S. leadership Adai Stevenson has pro-
posed: Cessation of tests as a first step to
putting the malevolent genie back in its bottle. |

lilies must leave trailer camp here
if they shop at the coop. This is the
ultimatum issued by the camp site
owner, H. Booth.
Some 100 families are parked at
Breakdown Camp, and half Of them
belong to Paignton Cooperative So
ciety Booths posted notice forbids
the coop to deliver on the premises
and urges the people living at the
camp to trade at Booths store.
Should there be any person who
does not wish to trade willingly at
the shop, most strongly advise them
to get another site at their own con-
venience, to save me the unpleasant
task of giving one weeks notice to
quit"
National Caravan Council in London
reports this to be the first site where
jewellers are compelled to purchase
from site stores.

Ends Up In Red On Sale
Of Calf

BURLINGTON, Ky.-For a first
hand story of what many a farmer
goes through these days, talk to Stan
ley Clifford, who operates dairy farm
near here.
few days back he sent Jersey
bull calf to a nearby sales barn to be
auctioned off, and the calf was sold.
However, this week, the astonished
Clifford could hardly believe his eyes
when he got a bill for the transaction.
After subtracting the cost of hauling
the calf to the barn and the barns
commission for the sale, he wound
up owing so cents.

two thirds of all occupational diseases
are skin diseases"
He said that the U. S. Public Health
Service has estimated such skin all
ments cause loss in wages and pro-
duction of 800 million year.
DR.. Walmer warned that the job of
preventing workers from getting sick
is never ending one For one thing,
he pointed out, ''As new chemicals are
developed the list of suspected cancer
causers will no doubt grow"
Already, he declared, this list in
cludes such materials as shale oil, tar
and pitch, anthrecene, creosote, ben
zine, aromatic amines, chromates, ami
line dyes, and napthylamine as well as
ultraviolet rays, X-rays, radium and
radioactive products of atom splitting
DR.. Walmer said much more study
is needed to determine just how po-
tent such materials are in producing
cancer-if they really do play this role
and what it is that makes one per-
son more susceptible than another.

From THE NEW REPUBLIC


fragments of bomb debris from the Pa
cific tests are now turning up in the bones of
people all over the world" writes DR.. Ralph
Lapp, atomic physicist, in the October issue
of the BULLETIN OF ATOMIC SCIENTISTS.
He asserts that the world is 40 times nearer
disastrous atmospheric poisoning than the
Atomic Energy Commission admits in its lat
est report to the Congress.
Dr. Lapp is not here referring to the genetic
effects of radiation on unborn generations,
but to the effects of Strontium-90, which can
cause bone cancer in persons now living.
Strontium-90 is one of the most plentiful
elements in the fireball of fission bomb
burst. Because of its initial gaseous state, it
is carried into the stratosphere as high as
100000 feet. 1t then circles the globe $40
years, falling out at the rate of 1920 per
cent year 1t is flushed to earth by rain and
snow, deposited on pastures, eaten by dairy
COWS, passed to people through milk and
comes to rest in human bones.
Using British data it is now possible, DR..
Lapp writes, to establish the Maximum Per-
Missile Concentration of Strontium-9 for
the human race and to figure how many
bomb bursts will take us beyond the thres-
hold of safety. Bombs totalling 260 megatons
Ca megaton equals a million tons of TNT)
would precipitate this critical stage. So far
the Americans and Russians have exploded
40 megatons, or Is per cent of the limit And

and have discussed testing a so megaton ex-

ton involved primarily the affect of
pollution upon public health. With the
new legislation in addition to public
health, there is now covered pollution
as it might affect fishing, recreation
industry and agriculture.
Legislature, recognizing that these
phases of stream pollution were not
part of public health, yet the State
Board of Health had the personnel
and had done a great deal of stream
pollution work during the years that
had been the responsible agency, set
up a Stream Pollution Abatement
council to establish policy that is car
ried out through the State Board of
Health. On this seven-member council
there is represented municipalities, in
dustries discharging organic and in
wastes, agriculture, the State
Fish and Game Commission, the state
engineer and the State Board of
Health. By this arrangement it be
comes possible for the state, without
having two agencies duplicating work

Be Kept Free Of Pollution

fields that include public health and
the other responsibilities.
The Pollution Council has adopted
state water quality criteria based
upon detectives developed in the Pa
cific Northwest so that the standards
used in Montana are in line with those
in the adjoining states.
AT the present time there are 112
communities in Montana, with a 1850
population of 344, 1873 persons, that are
served by sanitary sewers. OF this
number of municipalities, 81 have ade-
quate sewage treatment plants or Ia
goons, and these are serving a popu-
lation of 60,652 persons. If an industry
were to locate in one of these 81 COM
the industry could possibly
discharge its waste to the sewer with
out the necessity of enlarging the pres
ent sewage plant, depending upon the
volume and type of wastes. There are
40 communities, with a population of
81 ,565, that have inadequate sewage
a population of 22S,956, that discharge
raw sewage to the stream.
There are Sc industrial plants
which discharge wastes into Mon
tana streams separate from munich
paities. This includes mining, mill
ing, sugar refining, packing plants
and gravel washing plants. Of the
So plants, 10 have adequate treat
ment. Another 10 of the plants have
some treatment, which is not con-
sidered adequate, and 20 plants have
no treatment whatsoever.
Seventeen cities in Montana obtain
water from major watersheds. The
major watersheds in Montana include
he Yellowstone River, the Missouri
river and the Milk River Many other
titles obtain surface water from rela-
lively clean mountain streams. No
" municipalities at the present time
rom the Kootenai, Clarks Fork, Mus
elshell, Tongue or Powder River Riv-
RS. However some of these streams

,oses at the present time.
