Science May
Produce Antidote
For Radioactivity
Chicago, Doc. 2 Oil A scientist
.. predicted today that within this
generation science will produce a
pill, a vaccine or some other anti
dote for radioactive poisoning, the
dread after-effects of an atomic
bombing.
Dr. Robert D. Bocho of the Uni
versity of Chicago's Institute of
radioblology and biophysics, made
the prediction on the sixth anni
versary of the dawn of the atomic
age.
It was six years ago today that
a little group or scientists worn
lne in strict secrecy In a room be
neath the University of Chicago
football stands prod,uceu ine
world's first sustained nuclear
chain reaction.
Discoveries .Made
Since then, scientists have been
hard at work to counteract the
atom's unleashed fury. Bochesaid
discoveries within the past few
weeks point the way toward inv
munization from atomic radia.
lion. ' .
Boche said experiments at the
University of Chicago indicate
that body fluids exposed to radiation-are
partly responsible for
death. Boche said he has subject
ed billions of primitive, single-
celled organisms to radiation.
Many survived, he said. But
when these "healthy cells are
dipped into a fluid which had been
subjected to radiation, they d'.zA.
This indicates, he said, that some
thing which kills is produced in
the body fluids by exposure to
radiation. The problem now Is to
determine the substance and una
an antidote.
Cargo Loaded as Walkout Ends
Chemical Problem
"I think we can discover the
antidote In our lifetime," he said.
"We are not faced by a dark, su
pernatural problem, but a chemi
cal problem which will take time
and patience to solve.
"But we feel we are on the right
track to help establish a defense
against this serious danger. Once
the cause of radioactive illness Is
determined accurately, the cure
will follow."
Boche, 36, said he expects "to be
around to see it."
The antidote, he said, may be
in the form of vaccination or a
prophylactic after exposure.
"It may even be in the form of
a pill," he said, "which would
make It quite simple."
Battles Raging
In Korean Area
Seoul, Korea, Dec. 2 itli Fierce
battles again have broken out be
tween south Korean forces and
communist raiders from north
Korea around the vital Yungwol
power plant, reliable government
informants said today.
The Yungwol plant was unsuc
cessfully attacked by an estimat
ed 1,000 raiders last night. It sup
plies nearly half the electricity
used in south Korea.
Officials said the north Korea
people's army and south Koronn
police and soldiers engaged in bat
tles at Tanyang, Koesan and
, Yungju lying in an arc about 20
miles south of the power plant.
The plant Itself Is about 140 miles
southeast of Seoul and about 50
miles south of the northern bor
der. Traffic to and from the town of
Yungwol has been completely cut.
Telephone service has been sus
pended for two days.
Insurgents also have cut do
mestic and undersea cable lines at
four widely separated points In
. south Korea recently, government
sources said.
1 .Outbreaks of communist viol
ence and police drives against sus
pected communists have been re
ported from many south Korean
' towns.

Draft Call Cuts
Mean Reprieve
For 100,000 Men
Washington, Dec. 2 Hl'i The
cutback In draft calls will mean
a reprieve for moie than 100,000
men originally siaieu tor iniiuc
lion by next July.
It will also mean 30 to 60 days
more of civilian life for many
registrants who were scheduled
to be called up in January and
February.
These estimates were made to
day by some of the state selective
service officials now holding their
semiannual conference at na
tional headquarters here.
The army originally had plan
ned to take 20,000 men in Janu
ary, 25,000 in February and pre
sumably the same In the succeed
ing months. That would have pro
vided 170,000 new soldiers via the
draft route by July 1.
(Juntas Cut
But the army announced earl
ier this week that for lack of
funds, it will take only 10,000 in
January and 5,000 in February. If
It sticks to the 5,000-man quota
in the succeeding months, it will
enter July with only 00,000 draf
tees in uniform. An army source
said "there is no prospect for an
increase In the quota."
Registrants 23 and younger ap
parently will benefit most from
the draft curtailment. The No
vember and December calls in
many states exhausted the avail
able manpower In the 25 and .21-year-old
age groups. A total of
10,000 men were inducted last
month and 15,000 are scheduled
to go this month.
Maj. Gen. A. M. Tuthill, of
Phoenix, state director for Ariz
ona whose local boards drafted
48 men In November, said the cut
back will give "some period of
grace to 23 and 22-year-old men
in my stale."
KILLED BY CAR
Portland, Dec. 2 Ul'i Fred
Kertsch, 80, of Portland, was kill
ed Wednesday night when he was
struck by an auto on S. E. Mc
Laughlin boulevard Just north of
the state police station.
