StiIIborn Babes Studied
For A-Rodiotion Cure

That the perils of the atom
we're at least as much O topic
for thought as its peaceful use
was apparent from the con-
gress' program.
About one-eighth Of the 300
odd papers to be presented In
the course Of the week-long
meeting have to do with pro-
tecting humans from radiation
or curing them Of its effects.
Most promise, 1t appears. lies in
cures rather than in prophy-
laxis.
Experiments Cited
DR.. Hollaender said mouse
experiments showed that bone
marrow cells from unborn mice
could be injected into adult
mice whose blood-producing
ability had been harmed by
overdoSes of radiation. Only q
tiny amount Of bone-marrow
material from the fetal mice
is needed to start the adult
mouse's own bones working
again as a blood factory.
No experiments have beer
made on humans to date, 1t Is
understood However, Dr.. Hol-
laender made it clear that much
thinking has gone into the use
of bone marrow cells from
aborted and stillborn infants Al

adult humans exposed to radi-

The possibility Of q bone.

blood banks was not discounted
by DR.. Hollaender. But much
more work will have to be done
with mice before anything like
this can be established, he said

BURLINGTON, VT. Aug. II.
The possibility that a still
born child may someday save
the life Of its ailing mother has
been raised by scientists at
tending an International Ra-
diation Congress here.
DR.. Alexander Hollaender
chairman Of the congress, said
the possibility grew out Of ex-
periments involving the bone
marrow of unborn mice. The
marrow, in the form Of injec-
tons into mice suffering from
radiation sickness, shows great
promise as a possible cure fol
overdoSes of deadly atomic
rays, DR.. Hollaender said.

their government forbade theil

The Soviet draft said data
presented in the report make
1t plain that efforts should be
made to eliminate the uncon-
trolled source Of radiation, 1. e.,
to end experimental nuclear
and thermometer explosions,
and enable the committee TO
draw the conclusions that there
should be an immediate cessa-
ton Of test explosions Of nu-

India also submitted q draft
to have the committee conclude

is harmful and should be
avoided. and that "nuclear tests

,pected to get House action on an
omnibus farm bill. Mr.. Rayburn
has announced that, so far as
he is concerned. all farm legis-
lation is dead. He did so after
Republicans and big-city Dem
ocrats joined last week in de-
feating o third House attempt
at passing q major farm bill.
However, several m-State
members said they would make
another attempt to give cotton
and rice farmers relief from
the sharp acreage reductions
they face next year under pres
ent law, and to extend the act
under which farm SURPRISES are
disposed Of abroad.
Mounting Speculation
There also was mounting
speculation that the House
might act on q Senate-passeo
bill designed to give the Gov
eminent a stronger hand In
regulating labor unions and to
give rank-and-file members O
bigger voice in union affairs.
This bill earlier was given little
or no chance Of House passage.
Here's the picture on other
major bills:
Increase in debt limit to $3.50
billion-pasSed by the House
and now before Senate FL
nance Committee.
Small business tax relief
Passed by the House and APP
proved by the Senate Finance
Committee.
Depressed areas bill-Passed
by the Senate and cleraed for
House debate.
Supreme Court curbs-Sev-
eral bills approved by the
Senate Judiciary Committee
but not yet cleared for floor
action. The one given the best
chance for Senate passage Is q
bill to restore to the States the
right to enforce their own anti
subversive laws. The House
has passed q broader version.

again that Congress will stay
