A deer on Highway 99 just
south of Talent last night
caused a three-car accident
that caused considerable dam
age to two cars and minor in

By RALPH SEGMAN '
Science Service Staff Writer
Washington The possibil
ity that radioactive wastes,
dumped in coastal waters,
might harm human beings or
fish is almost non-existent,
according to an Atomic Ener
gy commission biologist.
He said'.scientific evidence
gathered by the AEC supports
the contention that it is "prac
tically ridiculous" to expect
genetic damage to result from
radiations emitted by mater
ials in the steel and concrete
disposal drums.
Last week at a Joint Con
gressional committee on Atom
ic Energy hearing, the ques
tion of harmful biological ef
fects arose and set off a brief
display of polemics. Sen. John
O. Pastore (D.-R.I.) demanded
to know if the radioactivity
contained in one drum is
dangerous.
Negative Response
The ' question brought a
negative response from Dr.
Joseph A. Lieberman, AEC's
chief of environmental and
sanitary engineering who
qualified his answer with the
information that he' had not
done the biological studies in
volved and therefore was not
qualified to give the commit
tee scientific backing for his
opinion.
Studies on' the problem
have been completed or are
now in progress at labora
tories of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, the Univer
sity of Washington, the Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institu
tion, and elsewhere, Science
Service learned from Dr. I. E.
Wallen, AEC Division of Bi
ology and Medicine.
. The results, Dr. Wallen
said, were negative for
amounts of radioactivity
equivalent to those contained
in disposal drums. The first
detectible genetic damage was
found after fish were irradi
ated with 25 roentgens of
hard X-rays.
Radioactivity Lessens
AEC has estimated that the
drums, when first sunk, emit
anywhere from one-hundredth
to one roentgen an
hour. The radioactivity less
ens, however, gradually for
some isotopes and rapidly for
others, becoming less likely
to produce damage.
Much of the waste consists
of tritium, Dr. Wallin said,
and its beta radiations are so
weak they cannot penetrate
human skin.
-He said that an extremely
important reason why he be
lieves the danger can be min
imized is in the nature of the
disposed wastes. Much of it
consists of iron piping, broken
glass, filter paper, and dis
carded coveralls. Should a
drum, break open, he said, you
could hardly expect a fish to
make a meal of broken glass
and coveralls. "
In addition, the quantities
of radioactive materials are
so small that even if a fish
somehow got into a waste
drum it would have to stay in
the confines for quite a long
time before it would be ex
posed to the slightest proba
bility of genetic damage, Dr.
Wallen said.

he pointed out, is that highly
contaminated fish would be
caught by fishermen.
He feels that the only rea
son he even talks about genet
ic damage resulting from ra
dioactive waste disposal is
that one should never entire-,
ly rule out the improbable.
Dr. Wallen's opinion is
based on what is known as a
threshold value for genetic
damage. This is the theory
that no damage will occur ii
exposure to radiation is be
low a certain amount. Other
scientists, however, believe
that any(amount of radiation
is capable of producing genet
ic mutation.
Counly Bank Debits
Exceed $100 Million
Banks in Jackson, Josephine

Oregon banks had a June total
of $1,967,062,369. The total
was 16.2 per cent above June,

Minor Earthquake
Felt in Portland
Portland (UPD A minor
earthquake jarred" Portland
just before . 4 p.m. Tuesday
but no damage or injuries
were reported. Many residents
reported the tremor shook
their homes and desks slid,
pictures and "all clocks
moved and dishes rattled.
Telephone switchboards at
police, newspaper and radio
station offices were jammed
with calls. One woman said
"it felt like the house was
going to move off the founda
tion." .
At the University of Wash
ington in Seattle, seismolo
gists said the earthquake was
noted here at 3:53 p.m. but it
was so slight no reading could
be made. It was centered
about 135 miles from Seattle
and was a small local shock,
they said.
Oregon State college seis
mologist H. R. Vinyard re
ported the shock was record
ed on instruments in Corval
lis at 3:53 p.m. also. He said
it was a slight shock.

Killed in Crash
l Lewiston, Idaho - (UPD - Two
forest service smoke jumpers
were killed yesterday when a
forest service plane crashed
in northern Idaho. Three other
men, including the pilot, were
severely burned in the crash.
The dead have been identi
fied as Gary Williams, 23, of
West Valley, N. Y., and John
A. Rolf, 25, of Buchanan, N.Y.
The plane crashed while
trying to land near the Moose
Creek ranger station. The
pilot said a gust of wind blew
the craft into the trees.

here Tuesday that apparently
started in a packing shed. No
one was reported hurt.
The flames spread to the
schoolhouse and two -cabins.
Maryhill is a Columbia river
town across" from Biggs- Ore.
Fire equipment was sum
moned from Dallesport, Gold
endale and Centerville to help
the Maryhill Fire District
contain the flames. Strong
winds fanned the blaze.

Oregon Projects
Recommended
Washington- (UPD - The Sen
ate Interior committee yester
day sent to the upper cham
ber with recommendations
for passage bills . authorizing
two Oregon reclamation proj
ects. On motion of Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) the
committee unanimously ap
proved construction of Bully
Creek dam and reservoir in
Malheur 'county.
It also approved a bill
which provides for modifica
tion of the Crooked River
project near Prineville. The
latter measure will permit
eventual irrigation of an ad
ditional 2,000 acres.
The Bully Creek dam pro
posal already has passed the
House and Neuberger said
Senate action is indicated. It
will provide supplemental
water for about 3,000 acres
in the Vale irrigation project
and improve flood control fa
cilities in the Malheur river
drainage.
An enlarged canal and
pumping facilities are provid
ed under the .bill modifying
the Crooked River project au
thorization. This action is
necessary, Neuberger said,
because the bureau of recla
mation is expected to call
soon for construction bids
and the change will make
possible savings of about
$200,000 on the project.

During the first part of
August, and particularly on
or about the twelfth, you may
see one of these shooting
"stars" flash across the sky
as often as 50 times in an

is caused by a piece of cosmic

it burns up from friction
The Perseid meteor shower
is one of the most reliable of
the some 11 similar showers
that appear at different times
throughout the year. It is so
called because the meteors
seem to radiate from the con
stellation of Perseus, a con
stellation low in the north
east sky.
Do Not Radiate
Actually, the meteors do
not radiate from a point, but
only appear to because of per
spective. They are really mov
ing through space in parallel
paths, and these seem to con
verge in the distance, like the
parellel tracks of a railroad.
Among the other sky won
ders visible in August are the
two . bright planets, Jupiter
and Saturn. Jupiter, in the
southwest in the constellation
of Libra, the scales, is the most
brilliant heavenly object to
be seen after Venus has set in
the west shortly after sunset.
Saturn, farther to the left, is
in the constellation of Sagit
tarius, the archer.
Besides these two bright
evening planets, there are five
bright stars visible. These are
the reddish-hued Antares, also
in the southwest, in the con
stellation ; of Scorpius, the
scorpidn; Vega, high overhead
in Lyra, the lyre; Arcturus,
in the west;' Deneb, nearly
overhead aria a little to'' the
north, and Altair, high in the
southeast.
