milk, air and water. But the number
of cities covered and the size of the
samples are woefully inadequate for
an accurate study.
Several non-governmental agencies
have conducted supplementary stu
dies. In the past six months these
are some of the findings:
A University of Minnesota study
showed that radioactivity in wheat in
that area was one and one-half times
the maximum permissible rate. Meas
urements in barley and soybeans were
equally high.
In Missouri and North Dakota
Strontium 80 levels in milk hit all
time high levels. When a monitoring
station in Mandan, N. d., reported
record levels, there were suggestions
of milk boycott-until Acc officials
arrived to reassure the town.
A University of North Dakota
study showed the highest radiation
levels in the states milk of any place
in the world. 1t also published a map
showing how radioactive clouds blow
directly from the Nevada testing
grounds.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
But the most comprehensive milk
survey was conducted by Consumers
Union, an Independent non-partisan
testing organization. 1t covered 48
cities in the U. S. and two in Canada,
testing representative samples for
Strontium 90. 1t found that radio
activity in milk has been increasing
since 1854, particularly in northern
member DR.. Willard F. Libby said
was more than 309o higher than Of
ficial estimates. 1t concluded: "There
is a potential hazard.
To the alarming reports the Acc |

members DIR. Willard F. Libby said
''The general average food level is
an important matter, but we can say
that this level is we'll below the maxi
mum permissible level". He added
that a person would have to eat ton
of Minnesota wheat at one sitting to
reach the danger point.
But Libby's official calm seemed
particularly unpersuasive because the
maximum levels are arbitrary figures
established by the National Commit
tee on Radiation Protection.
They were computed with the
knowledge that Strontium 80 is re-
tanned in the body for periods up to
40 years. At point it attacks bone
tissue and causes bone cancer or leu
kemia Cancer of the blood). Par
ticularly affected is the fetal tissue
in pregnant women. Maximum levels
are arbitrary assumptions that there
is threshold" below which effects
are insignificant
WIDE CRITICISM 4
Currently the working maximum
level is 80 Strontium Units. But DR..
Lauriston S. Taylor, chairman of the
NCRP, announced last month that his
committee was considering a new
level at one-tenth of that standard
Swedish scientists have been suggest
ing this level for some time.
But no matter the level, every time
a bomb is exploded, some people in
the world will become afflicted with
cancer or leukemia and the genes of
others will carry forward to future
the sins of the fathers.
Criticism of the Acc has come
from many sources. Russell H. Nor
gan, professor of radiology at Johns
Hopkins u, said: "It is unfortunate

that the responsibility for health and
safety is in the agency which is de-
veloping atomic energy. He called
for broad program to control and
measure total radiation being received
from fall-out, medical treatment and
industrial atomic devices.
In the Senate Hubert H. Hum
phrey (D-Minn.) charged that the
Commission "has been playing down
the dangers of radioactive fall-out as
it pursued it's weapons program. A
good deal of information, he added,
'is being held back because it casts
doubt on some of the earliest state
ments of government officials" on
the danger of weapons tests. He
added that the rising fall-out level
''means that efforts to halt nuclear
weapons testing must continue to
be pursued vigorously.
Consumers Union found the gov
ernment sampling of food and drink
inadequate. 1t suggested extended
coverage to at least ten more cities
with wider and more representative
samples.
