on the hazards of radioactive fall-out
has stimulated new debate on

( without an international agree

'". One indication was an Atomic
e n e r g y Commission statement
'"which said "man must learn to

Russia announced utter an ex
"jensive spring test series that it
- .was halting Its atomic tests, but
l. implied it might resume them if
. he United States fuilcd to follow
- suit. President Eisenhower later
hinted the United Slates might an
enounce a similar test halt if sci

L'Jrent Pacific test series.
-. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D

Disarmament Subcommittee, told

existing laws there is no way to
punish those who trespass on In

"These penalties would apply

Protection
By JOSEPH L. MYLER

BURLINGTON, Vt. (UPD A
Yugoslav physiologist today pro
posed refrigeration as a protection
for space travelers against cosmic
radiation. . ' 1
The scientist, Prof. Jevto M
Radulovic,. said research has
shown that hypolhermy the- cool
ing of living things to tempera
tures far below normal pro
vides protection against many of
the hazards of spuce flight.
These hazards include the re
gions of intense radiation now
known to exist between the earth
and the far reaches of space.'
Radulovic gave his ideas in a
paper prepared for the First In
ternational Congress of Radiation
Research this week at the Univer
sity of Vermont. .
'Wo may presume with certain
ly," his paper said, "that in this
era of interplanetary flights, hy
polhermy will play a protective
role against harmful cosmic radi
ation." :
The Yugoslav's paper was one
of several reports to the congress
on means of protecting living
tilings from damaging radiation,
whether from atomic bomb fall
out, atomic power plants, medical
X-radiation, or the rays pelting
the earth from solar, stellar, unci
inter:galnctic space. '

Dangers
Told Group
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
United Press International
"BURLINGTON, Vt. (UPD A
British radiation export called on
all naions to submit to in
ternational control over the deadly
radioactive by - products of nu
clear power plants.
Dr. Robert H. Mole of Harwell,
England, predicted that sooner or
later "serious attempts wil be
made to cheapen the cost" of
atomic power at the expense of
precautions against radiation in
jury. Mole is participating in the first
international congress of radiation
research being held at the Uni
versity of Vermont with nearly
1,000 of the world's foremost
radiation experts in attendance.;'
bo lar nobody has come Up
with a satisfactory solution of
what to do with the frighteningly
hot potato of radioactive ashes
from atomic plant's. Not oven the
deepest ocean trenches seem to
bo safe dumping places for these
wastes. . ' .
Scatter them carelessly and you
scatter the seeds of cancer, leu
kemia and premature death: In
dustriously advanced countries
like Britain, Canada 'and t h e
United States can afford' to lock
up the more intensely radioactive
wastes indefinitely in costly tanks.
The danger that someone will
try to cu the cost of nuclear
power by dumping wastes with
out regard to consequences will
become increasingly acute as de
mand for the new source of power
grows, Mole believes. He said this
probably would be especially true
in under-developed nations. -
"This danger," Mole: said,
"makes the world really a small
place."
If one country is careless about
waste disposal, all countries will
suffer, he said.
"I believe," he added, "that
there should be international con
trol of atomic wastes and some
abdication of individual countries'
independence."
