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."

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."

HIROSHIMA, Japan (UPI) -The
Hiroshima -and Nagasaki
atom bombs did not jereat dwarfs
or freaks.
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
