"‘No Danger Front
Radiation From
Atomic Bomb”
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P)—People
are developing unwarranted fears
about the dangers of radion injury
in an area that has been blasted
by an atom bomb, Col. J. P. Coo
ney, and an army expert on the
subject, asserted yesterday.
Radiation remaining after an
aerial A-bomb burst is “insignifi
cant,” Col. Cooney, asserted in a
paper prepared for delivery to the
Radiological Society of North
America.
The only “significant” radiation,
he said, lasts a small fraction of a
second after the explosion and
never extends more than 2,000
yards from the spot directly below
the blast.
It is unlikely that fission prod
ucts or other material from an
atom bomb could poison a city’s
water system, Col. Cooney stated.
“All the evidence at hand at
present indicates,” he added, "that
after passing through a modern
filtration plant the water at the
tap would be fit to drink.”
FIVE TURKEY NUMBERS
DRAWN AT NOME HDWE.
Five turkeys have now been
drawn at the Nome Hardware,
with the lucky winners to date
being H. Drier, Jim Roth, B.
Haley and E. Herman. The fifth
turkey remains unclaimed and is
number 4297.
Manager' Larry Galvin says to
save all the tickets as all tickets
are good for the grand prizes at
the end of the month.
Alaska Could Be
I Worse Than
Pearl Harhor
—
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (A5)—An air
defense general said last night
that “Alaska could be worse than
Pearl Harbor and a hundred Ba
! taans.”
The declaration was ma(k‘ by
Brig. Gen. George Fisher, army
I veteran of the war in Europe and
' now a California national guard
i anti-aircraft commander.
He and retired navy Admiral
Frederick C. Sherman named Rus
sia as the potential enemy of an
other war in talks before the new
ly organized veterans of Pearl
Harbor.
Sherman, one of the navy’s out
standing air admirals of the wa* in
the Pacific, called for “a fight
against communism to the end.”
Fisher said “There is no defense
in Alaska at the present time that
could repel” a Russian attack from
Asia.
He stated also that the entire
west coast was open to attack.
“There is not enough anti-air
craft artillery in the Sixth army
area,” he declared, “to adequately
defend the airplane plants in and
aruond San Diego, Los Angeles
and Seattle and the atomic energy
plants in our northwest — much
less protect the many cities nad
harbors on the Pacific Coast.”
Epitaph for a sergeant:
Here lies my sergeant.
Let him lie,
He’s found rest,
And so have I.
