Increasing Level Of Radio Activity Poses Threat SACRAMENTO Calif. (UP)—A leading California scientist said today that the low but increasing level of radio activity may pose a threat to the health of millions of persons. "During the last 10 years man has deliberately increased the amount of high-energy radiation in the world by an enormous amount" said Dr. Albert W. Bellamy. "Concurrent with this has been a corresponding increase in the number of persons potentially exposed to these radiations" said the University of California professor of biophysics. "We have not lived long enough with radiation to know yet just how much long-continued low level radiation both internal and external we can live with without injury" said Bellamy who is also chief of the State Division of Radiological Services. Hard to Detect "Radiation exposure is extremely insidious" said Bellamy. "None of the human senses can detect it. The effects of radiation exposure may now show up for weeks months or years." But Bellamy's assistant Dr. John M. Heslep pointed out that Dr. Gordon Fitzgerald University X-ray expert said recently careless use of X-rays had lowered the life expectancy of dentists to 56 years about 10 less than normal. Heslep a consultant to the university's atomic energy project said it had also been shown there is a higher incidence of leukemia a blood disease among radiologists.

Heslep pointed out that Dr. Gordon Pitzgerald University X-ray expert said recently careless use of X-rays had lowered the life expectancy of dentists to 56 years about 10 less than normal. Heslep a consultant to the university's atomic energy project said it had also been shown there is a higher incidence of leukemia a blood disease among radiologists. Both groups are exposed to relatively high radiation. "Experiments with lower animals have demonstrated radiation has significant genetic effects increasing the number of freaks" Heslep said. He said nothing was known about the effect on humans. Heslep said there was no need for concern about sterility from radioactivity. "The dose required to bring about permanent sterility would kill you anyway." Heslep said even the caveman was exposed to some radiation from cosmic rays and other natural sources. But he said there were "tremendously greater quantities today than even a year ago." Heslep said radioactivity had been detected in California sewage streams air and soil. From these sources he said it could be absorbed by animals and plants and turn up in food. Heslep said the hazard from internal radioactivity was much more severe than from external sources. Bellamy said the increased radiation was coming from mounting use of man-made radioactive materials in industry, laboratories, hospitals and from the testing of atomic weapons.

Knowland (R-Calif.) says that rates for Central Valley Project power in California are "quite adequate" to assure repayment of project costs. Knowland made the statement yesterday at a Senate Appropriations Sub-Committee hearing on funds for he project. The House Appropriations Committee criticized a power contract with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District as possibly endangering project repayment. Knowland said the reclamation bureau has made a new analysis of project revenues showing the project will "earn a surplus of $179,727,900 in 50 years after the last unit is operable." Pay Costs In addition, he said, power revenues will furnish a 78-million dollar subsidy for irrigation costs of the project and will pay interest costs on the power nivestment. Knowland supported a bureau request that the Senate restore a $2,493,000 cut ordered by the House in funds for the project in fiscal 1955. The cut was made from a budget bureau recommendation of $23,493,000. Included in the cut was elimination of a $99,000 item for planning work on the Trinity River p The House committee commits that the project has not been thorized by Congress. Knowland pointed out it was thorized by the Interior Department. He said the House committee apparently was trying change "basic policy" in not nizing that authorization.

Canon Richard Lief, director of the Los Angeles City Missionary Society, and Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral, known for his work among the 'unfortunate', prisoners, sick and forgotten, will be the guest speaker. His subject will be "Souls Reclaimed." Canon Lief has had a long and brilliant ministry in the Episcopal church. He was born in White Russia; he has an M.A. degree from Columbia University, and a B.D. from the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge; he has served at the University Settlement in London; as Director of the Institute of Human Service at St. George's in New York; as Canon of the Cathedral of St. John, Providence, Rhode Island; as Pickle Packers Ponder Progress By PAUL SISCO CHICAGO (UP) — Know what Amerigo Vespucci's trade was before he turned sailor? Pickle packer. Know what Thomas Jefferson once wrote? "On a hot day in Virginia, I know of nothing more comforting than a fine spiced pickle brought up trout-like from the sparkling depths of that aromatic jar below stairs in Aunt Sally's cellar." Know what Julius Caesar prescribed for his Roman legions? Pickles, natch. Anyway that is what the National Pickle Packers Association would like us to ponder as we approach the observance of National Pickle Week which (as we all know) extends from May 20 to 29. A likeable young man named Bill Moore does the research on these fascinating facets of the pickle. For example, during the coronation of Britain's queen last spring Moore sought a girl with the real name of Elizabeth Pickle. He found there are hundreds of girls with that name and finally settled on a dilly of a blonde as pickle queen. The NPPA claims that in 1953 pickles outsold every other canned vegetable or fruit except corn. Some 30,500,000 cases were sold. It also reveals that the industry now grows "pedigreed" cucumbers of just the right size. Moore is most proud of one great talent discovery. He came across the fact that a grocery clerk in Rolling Ford, Miss., bore the honesty to goodness name of Dill L. Pickle. Dill is now a salesman of you. Dairy farmer John St. Clairsville, O., was stock in his fields there when a voice from out of asked for directions to Zuzak said he heard of an airplane and looked at the face of a bellicopter calmly asked: "Mister tell me the way to Piñe."

Hueneme to Base Guided Missile Subs PORT HUENEME (UP)—The Navy harbor here soon will be the base for three guided missile submarines, officials said today. Two undersea craft, the USS Tunny and the USS Carbonero, are already based in the harbor, and the third, USS Cusk, is expected to start operations in mid-August. The Tunny is a missile-launching submarine, while the Cusk and Carbopero are used chiefly to guide missiles once in flight.

AROUND THE TOWN By STANLEY LOUDON With summer coming on it seems the fishing fever is in the air. As I have the opportunity to watch Bob Williams across the alley, I see the boats are getting ready. Motors cough and then with a couple of more pulls on the cord it takes off like a scared rabbit. Last week there was a boat being out-fitted in back of Bob's and believe me it was a real rig. The fishermen are all checking the fishing spots and it seems that up and down the coast the fifer is on. Trout season opened last Saturday, so the fresh water boys were ready to go. I had planned to take in the opening day at Lake Crowley with John Larson. I was unable to make it and it was just as well. So the story goes, there were 1200 boats and 4200 fishermen, what chance would a fish have. To top it off a storm came up, no fishing was done, no fish caught. You would have thought Anaheim was invaded last Sunday. It happened I had to go down town around ten o'clock and there just as big as you please was a ten car passenger train. You probably wonder what is strange about this, well there it is; the train was on the old Southern Pacific line. It seems the folks were of a Camera club and this was one of the stops on the day outing. Now with "Disney-land coming here we can expect to see all kinds of things.

Zurak, too startled to speak, merely pointed northeast. "Much obliged and a happy Easter," the pilot said and then whirled out of sight.

Claim Alcatraz Completely Filled WASHINGTON (UP) — Director James V. Bennett of the Federal Bureau of Prisons says that Alcatraz penitentiary is filled to capacity but has a "normal" guard compliment. "There is no reason for anyone to get particularly alarmed" about the situation at Alcatraz, Bennett told a reporter. In its annual report yesterday, the bureau said that crowded prison conditions and lack of personal have forced the bureau to "take a number of calculated risks" at some prisons. The bureau also reiterated previous requests for funds to replace Alcatraz penitentiary. Bennett said that Alcatraz is one of the places where the bureau is maintaining a "normal complement of custodial personnel." It is not one of the penitentiaries where the bureau has had to take "calculated risks" by spreading its personnel too thin be said. Nor is it overloaded as some other prisons are, he said.
