Freak Growth
Results from
A-Radiation
- By. 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.

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

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.

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.
