1 ILLINOIS ff AFTER BOMB TRY Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 2 U.PJ A quantity of strawboard made from straw cut in southern Illinois 23 days after the test atomic bomb explosion in New Mexico was found to be strongly radioactive, according to the di rector of laboratories at Massa chusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Robert D. Evans, also physics professor at MIT, disclos ed last night that photographic tests of the strawboard revealed that it was so intensely radioac tive that it would have ruined ( any film wrapped in it. The tests were made at the Rochester, N. Y., plant of the Eastman Kodak Co. Dr. Evans and other scientists investigating the strange effects have two possible explanations: 1. The atomic bomb explosion in Los Alamos, N. M., may have been responsible. Some of the active ingredients of the bomb which were not "smashed" may have carried to a high altitude, become caught in the trade winds, then borne eastward, and precipitated by rain on the Illi nois strawfields. "The contamination may have eome from some other source, possibly the nearby Wabash riv er. The problem is further compli cated. Dr. Evans said, by the fact that strawboard produced at the fame time in mills in Indiana, Iowa and other points in the aame geographical area preved to be clean.
