I No Evidence Found A-Bombs Affected Children In Japan whipping up anti-A-bomb hysteria. But they interpreted the state ments of the Japanese as reflect ing the trend of Japanese scien tists to reconsider and re-asseus their earlier views about the far reaching effects of radioactivity upon the human body. Dr Izmni said his study of schoolchildren in Nagasaki showed: "Absolutely no difference in absences from school among those exposed to the atom bomb and those who were not. The average number of colds was absolutely the same." "After giving them diphtheria, typhoid and BCG (anti-tuberculosis) injections, we found the same ratio of immunity." fn weight and height. " there Observer, La Grande, Ore., Wed., Aug. 13, 1958 Page 10 was not much difference." Izumi said primary schoolteach ers reported a largo percentage of nervousness and inability to concentrate among , A-bomb ex posed children. In drawing, they showed a slower rate of progress and "found it harder to grasp sub jects requiring reasoning power such as mathematics." "Of course," he added, "we can't tell whether these differen ces are the direct results of atom bomb radiation or due to emo tional or environmental disturban ces caused indirectly by the A-bomb."

So far, there is no evidence that llicy have affected the growth of children, cither physically or men tally. These opinions were concurred in by both Japanese and Ameri can doctors in Hiroshima and Na gasaki Tuesday, on the 13th anni versary of the Hiroshima A-Bomb. Their observations' were based on independent and joint scienti fic studies into one of the most widely feared effects of nuclear warfare today the nightmare birth of a race of freaks. The studies are still in progress. The results of one of the most ex tensive studies along this line the biochemical assay of hor mones of 1,700 children exposed to A-bomb radiation in their moth ers' wombs by the U.S.-directed Atomic Bomb Casualty Commis sion and an unnamed Japanese university is to be made late next year. But the scholars believe their tentative conclusions are based on sound foundations. The timing of those investiga tions is especially significant be cause the unborn children of Hiro shima and Nagasaki are now en tering puberty that stage when children grow into adults. "This is the period when any evidence of any change should be measured," said Dr. George Darling, director of the ABCC. "It would have to be within the next year or two that this study would have to be carried out." Japanese research into the ef fect of radiation on schoolchildren has been concentrated jhiefly in Nagasaki. . , Dr. Nariyuki lzumi, director of the Nagasaki University hospital and a leading authority on chil dren's diseases, said, "Our studies of children in Nagasaki show al most no difference among children exposed to the atom bomb and those who were not in weight, height, resistance to illness and immunity. We found it difficult to believe but that is what our studies showed." Dr. Ichiro Hayashi,' professor of Pathological anatomy at the same university, said, "There may be some individual, cases of feeble minded children and other freaks. But I foutid no extreme effects attributable to the atom bomb." Dr. Darling commented, "When the results are in on our study, we may. have scientific basis for a definite reply. But our studies so far agree with those of the Jap anese doctors in Nagasaki. We don't expect any real difference one way or another." Observers considered it doubtful that the observations of these scholars would have any braking effect upon the masses here at a time every year when pacifist and left-wing groups concentrate upon (B to B plus) while completing . . ..
