X-Rays Cause More Radiation Than H-Bomb COLUMBUS, O. (UP)-An Ohio State University atomic scientist said here today that "shoe fitting X-ray machines have probably done more radioactive damage than lI-bombs." Dr. William G. Myers, a researcher in use of atomic energy in medicine, said there "are indications that we are all contaminated with bomb ashes." Myers said the real problem is 1o determine when these radioactive particles become dangerous to the human body. The problem, he said, is to move the matter into proper perspective. Some scientists believe any radiation above the amount the body normally has is harmful Myers said. "We know that radioactivity is potentially harmful," said. Myers "X-rays are too." Sume countries, said, even ban the use of shoe X-ray radiuactive machines because of their qualities.
