Eye Injuries Afflicting
Atom Scientists May
Aid Cataract Research
The knowledge of eye cataracts
may come from the damage to the
eyes of five atomic scientists re
sulting from neutron radiations, ac
cording to Atomic Energy Commis
sion investigators.
Dr. Shields Warren, chief of the
medical division of the commission,
said observations of the type of
cataract produced by radiation in
humans “provides an avenue for the
experimental (animal) study of
cataracts.”
“We need to know more about
cataracts,” he said. “They can be
produced experimentally in cats and
occasionally occur spontaneously in
some animals. If we are able to
work out a satisfactory experi
mental procedure it might add to
our knowledge.”
Carelessness Blamed.
The five cases of eye cataract
among the scientists are the result
of carelessness in the early days of
atom-smashing machines from 5 to
10 vears ago, according to the con
clusions of the AEC investigators.
Because cataracts can be operated
on successfully these men are said
not to be on their way to permanent
blindness.
Three of the men worked at the
University of Illinois, one at the
Carnegie Institution of Washington
and one at the Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology.
These men. it appeared, exposed
their eyes directly to the pencils of
purple-blue light, which denote
beams of neutrons through air.
First Atom Smasher.
The cyclotron was the first of the
atom-smashers. It still produces
about 1 per cent of the atomic iso
topes used in experimental medicine.
First announced about 15 years ago
by Dr. Ernest O. Lawrence of the
University of California, it was one
of the major precursors of the
atomic age.
At that time, the effects of neu
tron beams were little understood.
These heavy sub-atomic particles
were supposed to produce about the
same results as X-rays. It has de
veloped since then that equal
amounts do from five to 10 times
as much damage.
The early workers were careless.
Dr. Warren said. They may have
recognized the possibility of injury,
but they were enthusiastic about
their work, took short cuts when
ever possible and needlessly exposed
themselves, he declared.
3 Type* of Cells Susceptible.
There are three types of body
cells especially susceptible to radia
tion injury. Dr. Warren said. First
are the white blood cells, second \he
male germ cells, third the cells of
the lens of the eye. The scientists,
eager to see what happened, got
their eyes directly into the neutron
beams.
The results, as is so often the
ease with radiation effects, were
long delayed.
The men probably face inevitable
blindness, unless they undergo op
erations for the removal of the lens
of the eve. This can be compensated
for by special eye glasses.
There is almost no possibility of
auch accidents in the future, Dr.
Warren said.__

T. K. Critchley, Australian mem
ber of the committee, said Repub- j
lican resistance was continuing even
in Jogjakarta, though Dutch para
chutists and airborne troops cap- j
tured it in the first few hours ofj
the fighting Sunday.
The Dutch made new admissions!
of Indonesian resistance andj
scorched-earth tactics. Reviewing
the action thus far, the Dutch said
the Indonesians put the torch to
Tjepoe, Java's only oil refinery cen
ter, before abandoning it.
The Dutch said also the Indo-1

A communique announced today
that Dutch troops, sweeping across

In Central Java a marine bri

moving southward from Babat, 14
miles southeast of the port of Toe

Hydroplanes landed troops on
Lake Toba, in northern Sumatra,
and occupied the airfield of Sibo
rong-Borong, the communique said.
Mopplng-up operations were re
ported continuing in the area of
Bukittinggi (Fort de Kock), the
republic’s Sumatran capital. The
Dutch occupied the town yesterday.
Five Dutch planes bombed and
strafed the city of Madioen yester
day, the Republican there reported.
The broadcast said bombs of 50 and
100 pounds were dropped, damaging
10 buildings and causing 14 casual
ties. Madioen is one of two major
Java cities still in Republican hands.
The Dutch Army said half the
prisoners captured by the Republic
during the Communist revolt in
September were freed before the
Dutch entered Soerakarta. The
others, it said, were transferred to
Madioen.

Greece
(Continued From First Pagc.l
a disproportionate share of the
anti-Communist program.
The report enumerates in detail
the many inadequacies of the So
phoulis-Tsaldaris government.
The regime is accused of practic
ally continuous balking at reform
measures proposed by the American
mission, of engaging in partisan and
personal politics to thje detriment of
the common good, and of being in
terested primarily in trying to
wangle more funds and other aid
from the United States.
Government Not Up to Job.
"The administrative machinery of
the Greek government is simply not
up to the job,” the report declares.
"Moreover, there is no hope what
soever of establishing a more effec
tive government from the parties
now represented in the Greek Par
liament. We have now run through
virtually all of the leading politi
cians who, once in office, have dif
fered solely in the skill of their re
spective arguments for additional
American assistance. Within the
framework of the present Parlia
ment, there can be found no prefer
able substitute for the present gov
ernment. The government knows
that and plays its cards accordingly ”
But even a reorganization of the
government along the lines recom
mended will not be sufficient, the
report warns, unless it is accom
panied by a more friendly attitude
by the preek press. This attitude,
the report declares, can be summed
up as having “to date succeeded in
presenting the United States as
Uncle Shy lock.”
The Greek press has conducted
this malicious campaign, the report
points out, despite many economic
advantages and favors.
End of Subsidies Asked.
“Virtually all of the Athens news
papers,” the report declares, “are at
the moment receiving substantial
subsidies in the form of exemptions
from the 100 per cent certificate
charge upon exchange rates for
newsprint, etc., together with allo
cations of newsprint far in excess
of their requirements, for purposes
of resale in the black market.”
The report bluntly advises with
drawal of these subsidies and ac
commodations to bring about a
“more favorable presentation” of the
American viewpoint.
The report is very caustic in its
condemnation of the attitude and
propaganda of the Greek govenv
ment and press that Greece is bear
ing a grossly excessive share of the
fight against the Communist guer
rillas and the Economic Recovery
Program. Although the United States
and Britain have spent more than
$1,000,000,000 in Greece since 1945,
the report points out, Greek politi
cians and the press have persistently
stressed the theme that not enough
was being done for Greece.
Consider Burden Excessive.
“Thus," the report declares,
“Greek troops regard themselves in
effect as underpaid frontier guards
and there is not the slightest doubt
in the mind of the average Greek
that Greece has been forced to bear
a grossly excessive share of the bur
den of economic recovery and res
toration of internal security,”
The report flatly states that no
effective progress can be made in
either the military or economic
field “so long as the present travesty
upon democratic government in
Athens goes on.”
“All attempts to recast present
governmental operations along more
efficient lines,” the report asserts,
“to divorce military operations from
political control, or even to threaten
sanctions in the form of partial
withholding of civilian supplies as
a means of compelling reform meas
ures, have been consistently frus
trated.”
Because of these factors, the re
port holds, a sweeping ^organiza
tion of the Greek government along
the emergency lines recommended
is urgently necessary.

5-State Phone Strike
In Southwest Averted
By Last-Minute Pact
•y th# Associated Pross
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23— A dispute
between the Southwestern Bell
Telephone Co. and its 50,000 union
workers was settled early today,
averting a threatened str^ce.
Union members in five States had
been on a 24-hour strike call pend
ing the outcome of negotiations.
The dispute, originally over a wage
increase for union members in
Missouri, Kansas. Oklahoma, Ar
kansas and Texas, has lately been
over what form of arbitration might
be used to solve the wage problem.
$3 to $6 a Week Raise.
Union officials of Southwestern
Division 20 of the Independent Com
munication Workers of America had
said a strike would be called before
Christmas unless an agreement was
reached.
Under the new contract, the
workers will receive increases rang
ing from $3 to $6 a week, an aver
age hourly increase of 10H cents
on basic wages.
The union had sought a 15-cent
an-hour raise. The company’s offer
until the final negotiation session
this morning had been 6.7 cents.
Contract for One Year.
A joint union-company statement
said the total yearly cost of the
increases was estimated at $11,
500.000.
The settlement was reached at 3
a.m. (Eastern standard time), four
hours before a walkout .appeared
imminent. Union members here
were notified last night to stay
away from their jobs today unless
they w'ere Informed otherwise.
Terms of the new contract, which
runs for one year from December 1,
1948. also provides for restoration
of certain seniority rights some
union members lost because they
took part in a six-week-long strike
in the spring of 1947.
Georgia Court Allows
Telephone Rate Increase
ATLANTA, Dec. 23 (/P).—Southern
Bell Telephone Co. was authorized
to increase its Georgia rates as
much as $7,000,000 a year to pre
vent what it called “daily confisca
tion of its property.-’
The Georgia Public Service Com- j
mission immediately announced it
would appeal the case to the State
Supreme Court.
Pulton Superior Court Judge
Bond Almand gave permission for
the rate increases until such time as
the commission fixes permanent
rates.
The judge’s order, said Commis
sion Chairman Walter R. McDonald,
means, in effect, that the utility
could increase its rates by $7,000,000
instead of the $3,715,000 originally
asked in a petition to the commis
sion.
The original petition was filed
mpre than two years ago, and sinje
that time the company ha$ increased
its requests to a total of $7,000,000.
On August 24, Judge Almand al
lowed the company to put into ef
fect higher rates, but held the firm
to maximum increases totaling about
$3,500,000. The judge's order lifted
this ceiling.
Printers Go on Strike
At Miami Herald
ly*4h> Aisociattd Pr«»
MIAMI. Fla., Dec. 23.—Compos
ing room employes of the Miami!
Herald went on strike today.
Eddie Page, president of Local
No. 430 of the International Typo
graphical Union, said. ‘The other
'daily newspapers are still negotiat
ing with the union and we hope a
satisfactory agreement will be
reached.”
Mr. Page, in a statement said
“the only issueInvolved in calling
the strike was wages.”
Emmett C. Choate, attorney rep
resenting the Herald and the Miami
Daily News in negotiations, said in
a statement issued prior to the
strike that he did not believe the
wage controversy was serious.
“The main difference between the
parties arose over the union demand
for extended jurisdiction over cer
tain typists who might be employed
to cut tape for use upon machines,
operated by the composing room
employes,” said Mr. Choate.
"This issue would affect only a!
few union employes who were op
erators of typesetting machines,
and the publishers were unwilling
to enlarge the jurisdiction of the
typographical employes for the rea
son that such agreement would ex
tend the contract to other parts
of the employers’ plants, and in
volve typists who are in nowise
connected with the typographical
union.”
Carbon Monoxide Fells
13 Bus Passengers

Hospital authorities said the ill
passengers were suffering from car
bon monoxide poisoning.
All 13 were hospitalised and the
conditions of five, including two
children, were described as “not
good.” The bus driver, Stanley
Belt, 39, of Chicago, and 11 other
passengers were not affected by the
fumes.
Decatur police said all those over-*

Salvation Army
Tells Boy, 5, of
Santa First Time
Ry th* Aliociattd trm
OWOSSO, Mich., Dec. 33.—Who
is Santa Claus? A 5-year-old boy
has found out.
A Salvation Army worker told
today how it happened.
He and three other volunteers
visited a shabby home near here.
Turning to the 5-year-old, oldest
of several children, he asked if he
knew “who sent us.”
The boy shook his head.
“Santa Claus sent us,” the man
reminded.
Still only a blank stare.
Then the boy's haggard mother
spoke up: *
"The name Santa Claus doesn’t
mean anything to him, or to any
of the others. We have been too
poor to afford any Christmas pres
ents so we never mentioned Santa
Claus to them.”
The Salvation Army workers first
explained who Santa Claus is. Then
they provided the things to prove
there is one.
Chile Urges Measures
To Check Outbreak ol
Revolts in Americas
•y th* Associated Fr*ss
SANTIAGO, Chile. Dec. 23.— i
Chile seeks co-operation of Ameri
can governments to check revolts
and revolt plots such as have trou
bled Latin America throughout
1948. . ;
Measures to “strengthen the sta
bility of Democratic regimes” were
advocated in a statement by the
Foreign Ministry last night.
The statement expressed gratifi
cation at consultations initiated by
the United States “with the object
of adopting necessary measures to
end threats against democratic and
representative regimes on the
American continent.”
Agreement with the United States
position also was voiced by Colom-!
bia’s Foreign Minister, Eduardo
Zuleta Angel. In a statement to a
Bogota newspaper, Zuleta Angel
said “something must be done to
defend the effectiveness of democ
racy in the Americas.”
Military coups have unseated the
governments of Costa Rica, Para
guay, Peru, Venezuela and El Sal
vador this year. Bolivia, Chile and
Colombia were among the targets of
subversive plots which failed.
A diplomatic source said Chile’s
President, Gabriel Gonzalez Videla,
has been considering the possibility
that some international organization
of democracies might be formed to
counteract what the President re
cently called a continental conspiracy
of neo-Fascist and Communist total
itarians.
In Washington, Undersecretary of
State Lovett told a news conference
yesterday the United States had no
reason to believe the series of re
volts had any "central direction.”
He said talks on the problem will be
carried out through normal diplo
matic channels.
