Ike To Present Defense
Reorganization Program
To Public Next Week
WASHINGTON, ’iff) — Presi
dent Eisenhower will take the
fight for his Defense reorgani
zation program to the people
next week in a nationwide broad
cast.
The White House announced
this will be the theme of an ad
dress to a luncheon meeting
here Thursday, April 17, of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors
The speech will be carried live,
starting at 10 a.m. PST, by NBC
TV and radio CBS-TV and Mu
tual radio.
Originally, the President had
intended to make foreign policy
his main theme in the speech.
But press secretary James C.
Hagerty announced Eisenhower
has switched plans and the talk
now is entitled “Why we have
to modernize our defense estab
lishment.”
Eisenhower told his news con
ference Wednesday he doesn’t
care how strong or how numer
ous critics of his program are—
he is going to fight for it with
every means at his disposal.
From Sen. Cooper (R-Ky) came
a prediction, after a visit with
the President, that the Senate
will approve the reorganization
plan.
The reorganization program
has been interpreted as calling
for, among other things, chan
neling all military money to the
Defense Department instead of
to the individual services as at
present.
Cooper said his personal view
is that there would be no such
overall earmarking of military
money for distribution by the
Defense Department to the ser
vices. He noted that Eisenhow
er, in his defense message to
Congress last week, talked about
a need for greates flexibility in
the handling of defense money.
AEC Denies Harm
To Fish In Pacific
By Radioactivity
WASHINGTON, UPV—'The Atom
ic Energy Commission said today
no evidence has been found to
support a Japanese report fish
and marine life in the Western
Pacific have been contaminated
by radioactive fallout from atom
ic tests.
“There is no threat to the
U. S. West Coast fishing industry
from radioactivity in Pacific
waters,” an AEC spokesman said.
He was commenting on a re
port by Dr. Yasuo Miyake, di
rector of the Geochemical Re
search Laboratory of Japan’s
Central Meteorological Assn.
Miyake said consumption of the
fish “may not be a threat now,
but it will become so if the nu
clear tests are not stopped.
Miyake and two other Japa
nese scientist reported in Tokyo
Tuesday that fallout from the
1954 H-bomb Ifests at Bikini
Atoll had raised the radioactivity
level from Hawaii to Japan 10
times above the level in the At
lantic Ocean.
The report gave no specific
figures on the radioactivity of
the fish, but in response to news
men’s questions Miyake said to
day: “Sea water in the West
ern Pacific gave off a total of
seven micro-microcuries per li
ter, and three micro-microcuries
came from atomic tests. The
rest was from the earth’s nor
mal radiation. The highest con
centration measured 194 micro
microcuries- per liter.”
The curje is the basic unit for
measuring radioactivity, repre- ,
senting the amount of radiation
given off by one gram of radium.
A microcurie is one-thousandth
of a curie, a micro-microcurie
j one-millionth.
Scientists disagree sharply on
the amount of radioactivity a
human being can stand. Miyake
admitted “no one knows exactly
what is the maximum permis
sible dose.”
Prof. Arthur Welander of the
University of Washington Fisher
ies School said there had been [
no noticeable increase in the con-1
tamination of fish or waters in |
American fishing areas in the
Pacific.
He added the Tokyo report es
timating Pacific contamination
10 times greater than that of the
Atlantic is “meaningless be
cause it could be many times
that again and still be harmless
to fish and fishermen.”
Miyake conceded his group
does not know whether eating
the North Pacific fish will have
adverse genetic effects or wheth
er serious lukemia cases will re
sult.
“There is certainly a threat in
the future, however, if man-made
radioactive contamination is not
stopped,” he asserted.
The word “corn”, used in the
United States to refer to maize,
generally means wheat in Great
Britain and oats in Scotland.
