Scientist Sees Radioactive Pill

CHICAGO, Dc 2. (UPt A scientist predicted today that within this generation scienn will produce a pill, a vaccine or some other antidote for nidi > active poisoning, the lirond after effects of an atomic bombing. Dr. Robert I). Bocho of t!i ■ University of Ctiicago'-; Institut • of Kadiobiology and Ginphysie .. made the prediction on the sixth anniversary of the dawn of the atomic age. It wa six years ago today that a little group of sclent.sts work ing in strict secrecy in a room beneath the University of Chicago football stands produce I the world's first sustained nuclear chain reaction. Since then, scientists have been hard at work to ootintcrui t the atom’s unleash' d fury. Boche said discoveries within the past few weeks point the way toward immunization from atomic mdiation. Boche said experiments at t i University of Chicago iinbeate that body fluids exposed to ladiation are partly c ponsible for death. Boche said ho has subjected billions of primitive, single-celled organisms to radia-
