Beanie Tayler Associated Press Science Reporter PASADENA, Calif , Dec lS-CP) -Kernels of . corn which start growing on the ear, and others which glow under invisible light are among the freaks resulting from atomic radiation, a widely known . plant geneticist reported today. Hundreds of specimens of dwarfed, twisted, frail . or partly sterile plants are the progeny of seed corn subjected to radiation in the Bikini and Eniwetok bomb tests, said Dr. Ernest, Anderson Of the California Institute of Tech nology. These plants are giving scien tists their first detailed, picture of what atomic radiation does to plant heredity how damaging changes in offspring can appear after many generations. Studies now are being made of first post-atomic generation babies at Hiroshima and Nagasaki for possible signs of first slight hered itary changes but there have been no reports of results. Dr. Andersons corn has gone through five or more' generations. To get five-generation results on humans will require at least 100 years. In the Bikini tests of 1948 many packages of seed corn, each con taining 1,500 to 2,500 kernels, were placed aboard the test ships. Many of these irradiated seeds were planted in Caltech's experi mental 8-acre garden' at Arcadia, Calif. Changes Noted Dr. Anderson had reported pre viously on some of the changes in Bikini corn. The new reoort covers also results on corn irradiated in the Eniwetok atom tests of 1948. Bikini seed Droduced about fin different kinds of hrviit-r changes. Most of them showed up as paicmness or paleness of the chlorophyll or green coloring mat ter. The others included all t.h hereditary changes previously rec- ognuea as natural ones, plus many new ones. Some of the new ones inrl corn plants that looked lilr crracc Some produced no ears, others had no silks or kernels. The ones with the Drematurelv erowinf kernels sprouted 100 or more little plants on a single ear. Dr. Anderson s srouD found that it took 15.000 roentgen units nf X-ray to duplicate the atom ir radiation effects from one Bikini seed sample. TKat is about 30 times the estimated dose necessary to Kiu a human being. Strength Estimated The atomic enerev commission has published estimates that it takes only three to 300 roentgen units to double the normal rate of hereditary change in humans. This comparison suggests but does not prove that atom bomb radiation would produce many times as many hereditary changes in humans as .it does in corn. The Eniwetok corn yielded more than 1,000 variations, many of them like the Bikini seeds, and one which glows with a different kind of blue light than the Bikini luminary. Although most of the changes reported are detrimental, there is a possibility, Dr. Anderson said. i i S .. -x -""-5T" y-r.- rv e , Jt 4 - REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAS T Chinese Communist soldiers In a prisoner-ef-ww camp off the South Korean coast fashion a model ef their home village en the mainland. Mapleton Boy Critically Hurt In Gun Accident EUGENE, Dec. 15 (P)-A seven-year-old Mapleton boy was in cri tical condition in a Eugene hospi tal tonight .because he and his brother forgot to remove a shell from the chamber of a .22-caliber rifle. Stanley Good, son of Mr. and Mrs. Weldon Good, was shot in the head when he stumbled over a rug while playing with the rifle. He and his brother, Weldon, 10, were careful to remove the clip of shells from the gun, but they left a cartridge in the chamber. The boys were at home alone while their parents tended their service station next door.

Junior First Citizen Ballot I wish to submit the following name for consideration 1951 Salem Junior First Citizen: NAME ; as the ADDRESS (Mail this form to SALEM JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE) 373 N. CHURCH ST., Salem, Ore. (Deadline Dee. 20, 1951) that some of them can be used beneficially. For example, some variants might serve as a guide for further improving the hybrid corn now grown so successfully in the midwest. Other atom varieties may help scientists to learn how plants con vert trypotophane, one of the amino acids which forms protein, into a plant growth hormone called an auxin. Auxins can be utilized to retard or otherwise control the blooming of plants. This might open the way toward an agriculture" that can produce fruits and flowers out of season. Salem Junior First Citizen Choice Nears Nominations are open to select the Junior First Citizen of Salem for 1951, the Salem Junior Cham ber of Commerce said Saturday. The deadline for nominations is Thursday,, Dec. 20. , The recipient of the award will be announced at a banquet at the Senator hotel Tuesday, January 22. Presentation will be by Mayor Alfred Loucks. The 1951 winner will be the 12th selected by the special Junior C. of C. Committee. The winner need not be a member of the jun ior chamber, however. The 1950 winner was Dr. Robert Anderson. ADA Asks Demos Clean Corruption PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15-P)-The National Board of Americans for Democratic Action today plac ed theresponsibility for cleaning up corruption in Washington on the democratic administration.

U&Millionth Traffic Death j To Occiir Soon CHICAGO, Dec. 15 -JPh- Some one who will be killed a week from today may be the millionth person to die in traffic since 'the automobile came into use in the United States. I That was the forecast today of the National Safety council after a study of accident reports for; the last week. A week ago the coun cil picked Dec. 21 as the likely date but a falling off in ; deaths the first two weeks of December prompted statisticians to move it back to Dec. 22.
