An Indiana doctor had written the Journal of the American radical association for advice. ; *i ’ “I have been having difficulty treating simple anemia,” he wrote. “For the past year, remedies that heretofore have helped these ■ patients are failing to give results.” He told of the various remedies he had been using and asked J “Could this situation be dub to permeation of the Air with residue from the explosion of atomic bombs? Other physicians in this community are having the same difficulty.” The Journal’s editors referred the inquiry to the consultants. I ; J One replied: < “There is no possibility that' the intermittent presence of. radioactive residue from atomic bomb test explosions could have ' any bearing on anemia]. After an atomic bomb explosion, the radioactive particles gradually descend to earth. ( / ’ll -■ “Detailed and repeated measurements . of their radioactivity have been made, and at no time has a level capable of affecting i the bemato-poietic blood-forming f system been observed. Actually/ the amounts of radiation so received would be only a small fraction of the radiation received in a routine fluoroscopic examination.” * | The other consultant advised the Indiana doctor of various treatments he might try for his patients’ anemia and added that “it is ‘highly unlikely that the blood ot persons other than those in clos< contact would be affected by atomic bomb explosions.” *1 ‘ ' ■ " ■— i I' HOUSE GROUP! <C—Ha—< Fret P—te O»4) ■ movie admissions.
