Fallout Appears to Be Below the
 Immediate Danger Level to Health

 Editors Note: Three radio active substances in particular need careful watching as fsll- out from nuclear testing in creases. But at this point, their distribution appears well be- low the immediate danger level to human health. Last of three articles.
 BY Alton Blaksslee
 NEW YORK M = The main bad actor atoms in bomb test fall, out are stronfiun, iodine and cesiu1n.
 Russia's gigantic 50-mcgaton bomb shot another dose of them into the air, for winds to blow about and for rains and snow to bring drifting down on people around the world
 Is this cause of serious con- cern for Americans?
 No, at least. not yet, says the US. Public Health Service which is keeping a super-cautious eye on fallout Experts meeting last week said they did not foresee any need for protective action even if the Soviets went ahead with their huge explosion.
 The watch is maintained be- cause fallout atoms are potentially a hazard, especially if quirks of wind and weather make some lo- calities sshotter" than others.
 The fallout coming from great distance is of possible concern only if it gets inside the body.
 The trouble with strontium-90 is that it concentrates in bones, while iodine concentrates in the thyroid gland. Too much of these atoms might cause cancers of the bone or thyroid, or leukemia.
 Cesium-137 becames generally distributed through the body, in- cluding sex glands, where it might cause eenetic changes,
 How much Is too much for hu- mans? No one can answer this because no one is sure how little radiation it takes to cause harnn- fll1 effects on the human body.
 So, to play 1t safe, international and US. experts have set ex- tremely low maximum doses for daily intake by humans.
 Tiny Amoun2s Not Harmful
 They think these tiny amounts would be tolerable without harm. They can't prove 1t. They do know that falloxzt from tests so far hasn't gove above these limits.
 These limits, as in the case of strontium-90 for example, are at least 100 times less than the amount of strontium required to produce bone cancers in labor atory animals.
 Just how much of the bad actor atoms were created by Russia's monster bombs, and all it's current tests, has not been made public. Reason: The Soviets, as well as US. bomb testers in the past, have not divulged the makeup of the bombs.
 The H-Hofnb or fusion reaction itself does not create any stron- tillze cesiun, or iodine. These come from the A-Bonb or fission reaction in the bomb, And the A-Bomb reaction is needed to

This estimate could be far off, if the big So- viet H-Bomb was "cIean"-tllat is, deriving much less than half | it's total energy from fission. One estimate is that each mega 1 ton of fission energy produces 110 pounds of by-product fission atoms. So a 5O-megaton bomb, getting 25 megatons of energy yield from fission, would produce 2,750 pounds of some 200 kinds of radioactive atoms at the outset. Most of these "die" very quick ly, and so don't travel far. Strontium- 90 and cesium-l37 re- main radioactive for many years. It takes about 27 years for half the original amount to disappear. If taken in food, these atoms can remain active in the body, emit ting potentially damaging rays, for long time.
 Iodine-l3l Has a Half-Life Iodine-131 has half-life of eight days. Half of it becomes harmless in eight days. In another eight days, only one-quarter of the original amount remains. If milk became contaminated with iodine, keeping it refriger- ated for 8 month would make it safe to drink, Dr. James Terrill of the Public Health Service points out.
 From all bomb tests through 1 1858, the actual amount of stron- tium-90 in children's bones, on l the average, was about 26 times I less than the amount deemed to be harmless if it is in bones. All the Soviet tests might double l this-and it would still be about I13 times less than the estimated
 "safe" amount.
 I Faliout from tests can product | temporary and sometimes bis
 jumps i:: the amount of radiation
 and the types Of atoms, in various l localities.
 As a guide for protection, the 1 Federal Radiation Council has set limits on the daily intake over
 an entire year, as measured in
 micromicrocuries of activity. l For strontiurn 90, this ranges
 from 200 to 2,a00, and for icaine
 from 100 to ], 1000. A micromicro-
 curie is one millionth of one mil lion of a cprie, with a curie being I equivalent to the radioactivity in

 The Public Health Service is
 keeping a daily watch Of radio
 activity in the air, water milk, and
 some foods, to detect any danger ous increases.
 If limits are approached or ex-
 ceeded, then some actions can be
 taken to protect people.
 For milk, switching to canned
 or powdered milk which had
 been on the self long enough or
 letting fresh milk set a while,
 could remove the danger from iodine.

$4,000 Veterans
In Delaware to
Receive Dividends

The Veterans Administration
today identified which veterans
will and which will not share in
the more than a quarter-billion
dollar CT insurance dividend to
be distributed under the Presi-
dents accelerated payment plan
designed to assist the economy.
Leon Fields, manager of the
VA Regional Office in Whining
ton, outlined a step-by-step
method CT policyholders could
use to find out if they have a
dividend coming.
First, locate your CT insurance
policies.
Next, take note of the policy
number-especially the letter in
front of it.
Then, follow this guide:
l. If the letter ''V" precedes
the policy number, or if the let
ter 'K' precedes the policy num-
Der.
2. You will not receive a divi-
dend If the letters "RS", "W',
"RH" or III" precede the policy
number; if you have already re-
ceived your dividend for 1861,
you will not receive another one;
if you placed your policy under
in-service waiver of premium
payment which is still in effect.
MIR. Fields pointed out that
about $4,000 policyholders in
Delaware will participate in the
dividend.
He urged veterans to forgo
bringing their individual ques-
tions to VA,
Veterans will help themselves
and VA by not flooding the Of
flee with individual phone calls
and letters. Answering them will
divert personnel from process
ing the dividend and might actu-
ally delay the payments.

bers which will become effec-
tive on Sunday, March 5, for
customers served by the follow
ing central offices: Dickinson
Ocean View, Georgetown, Gum
boro, Gypsy (Hartly), Lewes,

Rodney Oagsboro) and Selby-
vile.
These telephone customers
are urged to attach the new
number cards to their telephone
dials on the effective date of
the new numbers, March 5, the
district manager explained.
eff a customer has any trouble
attaching the new card, he
should call repair service for

All number calling numbers
and complete dialing instruc-
tions will be contained in the

Travel Council
Board Directors
Prepare Program

Plans are underway for a re-
activated Delaware Travel Coun-
Gil with a planned four year
promotion program, Harry B.
Bissell, Jr., president said this
week.
Mr.. Missell said that with the
beginning of the Civil War Cen
tennial Years, and the influx of
visitors it should bring to the
State, every effort will be made
to see that Delaware will not
be by-passed.
After a series of conferences
with hotel, motel, and restaur-
ant owners along with other
leaders interested in the tourist
trade, Mr.. Bissell feels that he
will receive the support to place
an effective program before the
Travel Council at its annual
meeting, scheduled for March
% at the Hotel Dupont.
If MIR. Bissells plans are car
ried out, survey of the State
will be undertaken to determine
the potential of the travel busi-
ness. 1t would also evaluate
past business in this field as a
criteria with which to operate.
1t is Mr.. Bissell's hope that
he can weld all tourist interests
into one group so that joint pro-
motion efforts will have the
greatest possible effect within
and without the State.
The Travel Council Board of
Directors expects to have it's
report ready for action by the
date of the annual meeting, he
asserted.
'In many states travel and
tourism is the number one in
dustry. We feel that Delaware
is not far behind in this field,
but we must have facts to pre-
sent in order to win support
for a long range program" MIR.
Bissell pointed out.
He said the Councils efforts
would be tied in with that of
the Delaware State Development
Department, the State and local
chambers of commerce so that
every dollar would bring maxi
mum results.

Fort Delaware
Opening Expected
May u to Public

Fort Delaware State Park will
be open to the public weekends
and holidays from Saturday,
May 27, through Sunday, Octo-
Der lst, the State Park Com
mission decreed this week. At
its monthly meeting in the Of
flee of c. Edward Duffy, chair
man, Wilmington, it was also
decided to send Park Superin-
tendent, Peter Geldof, to two
important conferences during
the next 80 days. Mr.. Geldof
leaves next week for Pokagon
State Park, Angola, Indiana, for
the Great Lakes Park Training
Institute, where problems con-
fronting the nations superyis-
Iors and superintendents will be
discussed. Later he will attend
the American Institute of Park
Executives sessions in Wheel
ling, West Virginia, where there
will be conference on revenue
producing facilities. MIR. Duffy
said that the later meeting is
quite apropos for Mr.. Geldof to
attend, since efforts will be
made this year to increase rev.

datory that the public share in
providing for improved facilit-
les, the Commission members
declared. 1t is expected that
because of the Civil War Cen
tennial, there will be a great
influx of visitors to Fort Della
ware, the commission members
pointed out. The Fort is already
receiving nationwide publicity
through a number of media and
this is expected to lure tourists
to Delaware. The inclement
weather has held up work at
Trap Pond, where the entire
camping area will be revised in
time for use this summer. New
facilities and services are ex-
pected to cause Trap Pond to
draw more than the 100000
patrons that were attracted last
year. A contract was signed
with Walter Wisowaty of Della
ware City to provide boat trans
portation to Fort Delaware dur
ing the l96l-62 seasons. Boats
will run weekends from noon
to 7 p. m, as we'll as on Mem
orial Day, independence Day,
and Labor Day. The commits
sion also entertained a request
from the Laurel Sportsmen and
Beagle Club to lease a portion
of Trap Pond land on which to
hold trials. The Club has been
using some 20 acres of land
under an old arrangement, and
approximately the same area is
expected to be set aside for
this purpose after further ne
gotiation, according to Mr..
Duffy.
