TEN MtDTO (OUTOOm MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, August IB. 1955 U.S. Calls for Another Conference To Continue Study of Atoms in Peace o Strauss Discloses President's Desire To Carry On Work Geneva (U.R) The United States announced today that President Eisenhower wants an other atoms for peace conference to carry on "the great beginning" in international atomic coopera ction. Adm. Lewis L. Strauss, chair man of the Atomic Energy Com mission, said the President had authorized him to express the U. S. hope that the work begun here will continue. ' "I've just received a message from him (Mr. Eisenhower) au thorizing? me to state that it is his hope that a second confer ence will be convened at a later date . . . Strauss told the Am erican club of Qeneva in an in formal luncheon address. New Knowledge "The interval between the conferences," Strauss said, "may be as much as two or three years and will, of course, be gauged to allow for a significant accum ulation of new scientific know ledge." Some 200 American residents of Geneva, conference delegates and newsmen heard the United States call for another atoms for peace meeting. It was the first such proposal by any of the 72 governments represented at the first atoms for peace congress. But many delegates have expressed the private belief that progress made here has been such that, the con ference should continue. Study Radiation Effects Strauss said the President is highly gratified" at the results of the 12-day session. World famous biologists and physisicians were meeting in Ge neva today,, at the request of the United Nations, to study the effects of atomic radiation on future generations of humanity. The urgent conference was called by the UN World Health Organization (WHO) after scien tists repeatedly told the Atoms for Peace conference of the dang ers ahead through exposure to radiation. The problem began occupying the attention of the world when the United States and Soviet Russia tested atomic and hydro gen bombs and statesmen ex pressed 'alarm that the atmos phere might become too polluted for safety. Great Question Mark The -problem became even more acute when scientists re ported to the atoms conference here that tests with laboratory animals had shown the danger of mutation changes with the danger to humans a great ques tion mark for the future. Observers said the biologists and physicians were expected to use today's hastily-called meeting to call for a special new meeting of international scientists to go into the matter in detail. Even the experts at Geneva disagreed as to the ultimate ef fect of radiation. Dr. T. C. Car ter, a British medical research council expert at the Harwell Atomic station,- noted there is no agreement on the nature and magnitude of the genetic dang er. Dr. William L. Russell, prin cipal geneticist at Oak Ridge, Tenn., warned that the danger of atomic radiation on future generations may be greater than generally supposed. Ahead of Safeguards Dr. Alexander Hollaender of Oak Ridge warned again today that man has plunged so swiftly into the atomic age he is years head of the safeguards he ought to be carrying with him that the science of protecting human ify is years behind the study of atomic energy itself. Soviet scientists attending, the Atoms for Peace conference dis closed' today that much of their know-how in the field of Atoms for Peace has been gleaned from reading Western scientific publi cations. Three Soviet scientists, V. I. Mostovoi, M. I. Pevzner and A. P. Tsitovich, for example, gave a credit line to the late Dr. En rico Fermi, one of the American atomic pioneers, for a complex piece of atomic research equip ment called a mechanical neu tron velocity selector. The complicated formula worked out by Fermi and two colleagues appeared in a 1947 issue of the Physical Review. Dr. Robert E.

If you suggest a dishwasher they think it's a luxury ... so many more things she or the family need first. They should be reminded that a dishwasher will give them over 300 extra hours that could be spent with you or the family.
