Is Your Health Threatened BY
RADIATION?
BY FRED ). HODGES. MD.

Professor md Chairman, Department Of RadOogy
University of Michigan
Here's reassurins about the dangers Of the atom
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-13

What about tests of atomic weapons in
this and other countries? Do they threaten
the health and lives of human beings in the
present and future generations? Are x rays
and other forms of radiation, used so extern
sively in medical practice, likely to produce
tragic effects upon our descendants? In this
atomic age these are important questions.
Everyone knows that radiation can dam
age living tissues. This very property enables
X rays, radium and radioactive lsotopeS to
cure certain forms of cancer. So far as any
one now knows the extent Of the damage
depends upon the amount Of radiation
received. Clearly excessive amounts pro-
duce readily detachable, serious or even
fatal tissue damage. Medical doSageS are
held to limits which experience has shown
to be safe, and radiologistS go to great
lengths to protect their patients.
The many experiments made in connec-
ton with the development of atomic energy
have taught us much about the hazards.
Scientists have radiated living materials
such as terminating seeds, fruit flies, mice
and other small animals which can be fol-
lowed through many generations in COM
parativeIy short period of time.
MANY of the observations made
have been used to forecast delayed effects in
man - but these ignore the profound diff
ferences between the human body and the
lower forms employed in the experiments.
Some writers have predicted that the slight
est exposure would result in shortened life
expectancy and frightening genetic faults
destined to become apparent several gener-
ations hence This is not in keeping with
some of the experimental facts, for small
dosages have not caused damage even in
the sensitive test insects and animals.
In the 60 years since X rays were dis
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-13

covered great many human beings have
been exposed to them, both accidentally
and purposefulIy. No obvious i'll effects
have been apparent when dosage has been
held within accepted safe limits. 1t is true
that leukemia is more common in physi-
clans who have devoted their lives TO X-ray
work, but better methods of protection in
the past IS years may have corrected this
situation. More recently, undesirable late
effects of heavy radiation on infants have
been reported, and doctors have already
reduced their allowable dosage. Beyond
the age Of 30, of course, possible damage
to future generations is greatly leSSened
The closely controlled development
Of nucIear energy by the Federal Govern
ment has prevented any widespread injury
to either atomic workers or the public. II is
now possible to measure radiant energy in
Enthusiastically minute amounts in the air, in
water, in growing things fed by plants con-
taminated by radioactive materials. All
figures so far released indicate that this
source of radiation hazard is fully under
control and far below levels capable Of
causing undesirable effects outside testing
sites. OF course, the danger Of total atomic
warfare is quite another matter, and one
we should all take very seriously.
II seems reasonable TO believe that cur
rent prophecies that radiation hazards seri-
ously threaten the human race are over
drawn. But if they remind us Of the long
known perils of excessive exposure they
will have served a most useful purpose.

will spring up, with all shades Of political thought, 1t is there
fore difficult for most candidates, and the people on the whole,
in the absence of any cearcut definition to take one side or
the other.
BUT Owe N above all this is the peculiar situation
in which these Islands find themselves. The political machin-
cry is not developed and may never be. We are therefore not
in a position to have real voice in any party, or to dictate
terms. What happen, therefore, is that there is a grand scram-
BILE for positions or jobs according to the party in power. This
may be all right, except that greater harm may be done by
following strict party lines in getting things done than by
real concern for the overall welfare of these Islands. The
selection of a Government Secretary is a case in point.
1T HAS ALWAYS been the contention in this corner
that while the game of politics is all right, we ought to apply
it inteligently and in terms of local conditions so as to get
the utmost from it for these Islands. In other words, politics
and party affliation should help, not hinder progress.

Editorial
POLITICS SHOULD HELP, NOT HINDER
POLITICS COULD play ha,

POLITICS COULD play havoc with the orderly func-
tioning of things governmental in these Islands. Many good
ideas, many very capable individuals, many commendable
plans are often passed by in the grand scramble tor political
RECOGNITION, and even livelihood. Some thought ought to be
given to it, and appropriate action taken.
UNFORTUNATELY, POLITICS takes on a peculiar
and strange role in these parts. There is no real political
philosophy. Few really know what any particular political
party is supposed to stand for, and what it proposes to do
either for itself or the people. Many candidates running tor
election often Just 90 along" with whatever happens to be
in the wind at the time, remaining totally unaware that both
he and his campaign are devoid of the faintest sense of
direction.
IN THE United STATES the major political parties
while close enough, are sufficiently apart to be identi6able as
separate entities. For example, the Republican Party is sup
posed to be conservative, midde-of-the-road in all things.
Il is supposed to be concerned with effectng economies, and
be a minimum of government. Public projects are therefore
frowned upon and carried out with reluctance.
H DEMOCRATIC PARTY, on the other hand, is sup
posed to be liberal. 1t claims it will face any situation that
arises. It will engage in public works programs to prime the
economic pump. It will not hesitate to tax it that is what
seems necessary to meet a particular situation. While adher-
ing to the free enterprise principle, the Democratic Party will
nevertheless sponsor and put into effect public projects for
the public good. AS we understand it, the Democratic Party
would have the government run the great river and water
power dams, selling electrical energy as a by-product. This
began with the famed IVA.
NOW, BACK TO the Islands. Political parties, if they
could be called such in these parts, have no definite lines OF
demarcation. And, in addition to the twp major parties others
