EFFECTS ON NATURAL
RESOURCES

DR.. John Wolfe of the Acc testi-
fled about the effects on our natural
resources as follows: "The long time
geological effects of nuclear war are
nearly impossible to assess and even
difficult to speculate about. However,
emitting consideration of radiation
for the present, widespread damage
due to the thermal and blast COM
ponents of the bomb would occur in
many kinds of biotic systems.
''Fire, for example, in the dry sea-
son of midi October would spread over
enormous areas of dry western conf
ferrous forests and grass lands, with
concomitant destruction of natural
living resources and their habitats.
1t is most likely in my opinion that
these fires would go unchecked until
quenched by the winter SHOWS spread
ing over hundreds of thousands of
square miles.
with the coming of spring thaws,
especially in the mountains, melting
water from the mountain glaciers and
snowfields would erode the denuded
slopes and flood the valleys in time
rendering them uninhabitable and I'M
exploitable for decades or longer. Re-
moval of the turf by fire or erosion
on plains and prairie would result in
uncheckable wind erosion by suisse
quent expansion of present dust bowls
and the creation of new ones. Emerg-
ency overgrazing and cultivation
would wreak further havoc.
"Along with flood, fire, and
erosion, which would also decrease
productivity of the landscape or
render it inaccessible to people in
uncontaminated refugia, would
come intensification of disease,
plants, animals, including man.
Populations of deleterious ami
mails, especially insects, would move
in, further detriment to food pro-
duction. Mans access to succor
through disqualification, treatment,
etc. would be meag-
er, and thus the inroads of starvation |
would be accumulated by increased |

not prove that low levels of radia-
ton from fallout may have already
produced an increase in leukemia
(blood cancer) and congenital mall
formations.
Reports of the u. S. Dept. of Agri-
culture show rise in incidence of
leukemia among cattle and swine
which occurred during the period of
increasing radioactivity in milk (1952
to 1859. The New York State De-
partment of Public Health has recent
ly reported that more congenitally
malformed infants are born in New
York State in regions where there
is relatively high radiation from
naturally radioactive rocks than
among those born in Generalization
regions. DIR. Linus Pauling, Nobel
Laureate, has stated that nuclear
weapons have already caused thou
sands of malformed offspring in the
world human population.
In view of facts such as those we
have cited in the above, many scien-
fists feel that our world cannot safely
tolerate any further increase in en-
radiation.

radioactive. The January, 1861 Acc
report on fallout shows 100 S.U.
in, breakfast cereal brought in New
York City.
MATERIAL GETS INTO
OUR BONES
AS result of the Sr-9O in our
foods. this radioactive material is
getting into our bones. The May 1860
USPHS Pathological health report
gives amounts of radioactivity in hui
man bones obtained at autopsy. Ra-
dioactivity is highest in children's
bones because they are taking up
calcium and, therefore, Sr-9O to build
growing bones. A figure of IL SUI.
is reported for one child from Utah,
as compared to high of Ia S.U. for
adults. The Acc has reported radio
activity in animal bones from Alaska
to be over 100 S.U.
Are these amounts of Sr-9O in food
and bones harmful? The only thing
that scientists can say with certainty
now is that we do not know as yet.
We do not know enough about the
radioactive atoms we are producing
or about how our bodies handle these
atoms to reach any conclusions. Fur

lions to assess the effect upon future
generations of humans of the in
creased radioactivity in the world.
However, until recently the govern
ment thought it could say that GER
tain levels of radioactivity in foods,
etc., were permissible or safe. These
"safe" limits were set by maximum
permissible concentrations or MPCs |
for various foods.

NO AREA WOULD BE

Radiation effects are more ade-
quately described elsewhere, but it
seems necessary to point out that
no area can be regarded as complete
ly isolated from contamination. Prob
ably wild and domesticated animals
will be unfit for human food.

Fortunately some of our pres
emit political leaders are aware of
the disastrous effects that a nu-
clear war would have upon human
life. Recently Ambassador Adlai
Stevenson told a radio audience
(CBS, Feb. 19) that he hoped "we,
in the U. S., would never stop in
our ceaseless determination" to rid
the world of nuclear weapons.
Despite this wise observation by
one of our top leaders, there are
those who are deluding people into
thinking that they can survive nu-
clear war through civil defense.
In the next article we will review
the thinking of some of our leading
scientists and political leaders on this
problem.

THE CULTIVATE
CATASTROPHE"

Because a nuclear war would re-
lease huge amounts of radiation, sci
entists generally agree that such a
war would be the ultimate catastrophe
for the human species. And yet there
are uniformed or misinformed
groups who are trying to convince
the American people that it, as a ma
ton, could survive nuclear war.
A leading advocate of this policy
is Herman Kahn of the U. S. Air
Forces Rand Corporation, who has
just published book, "On Thermo-
nuclear War;. 1t has not been well
received by scientists judging by re-
views. "The Scientific American,
our largest popular science maya
zine, published review in March,
1861, which stated: ''This evil and
tenebrous book, with it's loose-lipped
pieties and its hayfoot, straw-foot
logic, is permeated with a blood
thirsty irrationality such as l have
not seen in my years of reading.
Let us see how some of the experts

the u. S. Senate held hearings on
the biological effects of such catas-
trophe. The testimony by experts
revealed that were the attack to take
place today, nearly % million deaths
could be expected the first day and
an additional 25 million persons would
be fatally injured, and an additional
20 million persons would be injured,
but not fatally. Nearly 1870 of the
deaths would have resulted from the
effects of the exposure
and 25%o would have resulted from
fallout. More than half of the sur
viving injured would have suffered
radiation injuries.
1t should be emphasized, how
ever, that these estimated are mini

Congo Change

Although it Is still advisable to keep
ones fingers crossed as regards the
future Of the turbulent Congo Republic,
there Is reason to be encouraged by the
near-unanimous parliamentary approval
Of Premier Cyrille Adoula and his
coalition government. According to all
accounts, he is an intelligently moderate
man who favors the United Nations, and
he may be able to unity his divided
country-even though he seems to have
been bit too optimistic or unrealistic
in declaring that he will soon suppress"
the secession Of Katanga Province under
the leadership of President Noise
TShombe.
In any event, Mr.. Adoula has the
backing of President Joseph Kasavubu
Of the central government in Leopold
vile. More than that, wholly apart
from the Secessionist Mr.. Tshombe, he
seems to be in position where he may
be able to enlist the support of the fol-
lowers Of the slain Patrice Lumumba,
whose dubious mantle is being worn at
present by Moscow-trained Antoine
Gizenga, sinister man with all the ear
marks of full -fledged Communist. But
we shall see what we shall see AS far as
the Congo Is concerned, there is not
much to be done except hope for the
best, always with fingers crossed.

Day in the Sun

There is peculiar Appropriateness
about the fact that the center Of United
States population, on the basis of the
1860 census, is now in small Southern
Illinois city named Centralia. Not far
from the Nations great Wheat Belt, but
still in good farming area, Centralia
was built slightly more than 100 years
ago as railroad center, which it re-
mains to this day. It has had periods
of prosperity in oil and coal, but now is
one Of those communities designed by
the Federal Government as depressed
area"
Against this background, its pros
poets Of future prosperity may be in
question-except for one thought
arising out of Secretary Of Commerce
Hodges definition of the center of
population. It means, the Secretary
said, the point to- which all residents of
the so States could go for convention
with the smallest possible total travel
mileage. If Centralia has a Chamber
OF Commerce, 1t seems to us it should
get right to work at setting up such
convention. Quite possibly, by the time
everybody got back home 1t would be
time for a new census-but Centralia
never would be forgotten.

Society of SinpIetons

The Constitution of the United
States guarantees free speech and
numerous other liberties for individuals
and groups that run the gamut of types
from far left to far right, including
those as extravagantly eccentric as
Robert WEIGH and his John Birch
Society. So there is no point, as far as
the law goes, in inveighing against his
announcement that the society is spon-
soring an essay contest, open to all
American college students, on the fol-
lowing topic: why Chief Justice Warren
Should Be Impeached"
& This contest, which is scheduled for
the fall, will offer cash prizes totaling
$4,000, and more than few Of our col
legians-spurred on by cash possibilities,
II not by theological inclinations-may
well take part in it. Generally speaking,
however, the whole silly business is
likely to be greeted on American camp
uses, or so we hope, with healthy
dose of massive Indifference Given
that, then Mr.. Welch and his organiza-
ton might find it advisable to concen-
trate on yet another of their favorite
targets Dwight D. Eisenhower. They
might propose, for example, to give
handsome monetary awards to high

Social Workers Code

The social workers of New
burgh have threatened to
strike If the more stringent
welfare laws are passed.
I wonder If these people,
who claim to be lovers of hui
manity, realize the inherent
selfishnesS in their actions?
The real reason for their
proposed strike is not hard
to perceive in the light of
our deplorable trend of status
seeking. These "altruistic"
souls would strike not in the
name of the needy people
they are pledged to serve,
but rather to preserve their
own professional status"
Naturally, the more swollen
the welfare rolls are, the
more jobs there will be for

should be reminded that this

Meanwhile, one can only wonder
about the simpletons who contribute
money to the asininities OF the John
Birch Society. As for the Supreme
Court, which the group is attacking
through the person of the Chief Justice,
all Americans can be reasonably sure
that it will continue to exist from decade

becomes part of the dead past, like such
other unwholeSome things as the Know
