indicated that extracts Of yeast

tive phase OF antibody produc-
lion. This mas great theoretical
possibilities, since it suggests
that radiation damage is limited

Effects on Unborn
Possible serious effects on the
unborn are indicated b. expert
ments reported from the COM
missions laboratory at Oak
Ridge, Tenn. These effects. the
report says, are related directly
to the age Of the embryo. Trad
iation OF nice during the first
i've Gays Of pregnancy leads to
all-or none effects.
There is high incidence OF
death shortly after irradiation,
but those embryos which survive
appear normally. Irradiation
during the next eight days. when
most OF the major organ forma-
ton is underway. will permit
survival Of most embryos. but
almost all are born abnormal.
The exact type of nalformation
depends closely Oh the exact
stage the embryo has reached
at the time Of irradiation.
BY equating human and

report continues 1T is thought
possible to predict when the
most sensitive occurs in humans
for any given abnormality de-
termined in the mouse. BY this
reasoning, the human embryo
during the second through the
seventh week OF pregnancy Is
potentially the most sensitive to
radiation.
No Measurable Hazard
"Since the pregnancy still may
be unsuspected al such early
times it has been recommended
that, whenever possible. pelvic
Iirridiation of women of child
bearing age should be restricted
to the first two weeks following
the menstrual period. But the
present permissible weekly dose
of iiridiation which may be re-

stitute a measurable hazard at
