Radioactivity Reaches Levels in 13 States

WASHINGTON R Radio activity attributed to Russia's nu- clear testing in the atmosphere has reached levels in 13 states which would comprise health hazard if maintained over a long period of time, Secretary of Well fare Abraham Ribicoff said today.
 The Secretary's actual phras- ing was a negative statement that the hazard would not exist unless the level were long main tained.
 Ribicoff said field reports showed sharp increases in grocnd level atmospheric radioactivity over the weekend in 13 eastern and northern states.
 Although subject to labora- tory confirmation, the size and pattern of these field estimates unquestionably represent fallout from the current series of Rus sian atmospheric nuclear tests, presumably the multi megaton bursts that have been reported" :" he said.
 However, am assured by the Public Health Service that unless radiation levels of this range are sustained over long period of time, they do not pose public health hazard"
