GA1 LOWA Executive Editor and Publisher Action by AEC Awaited Increasing radioactive fallout in the Far North is receiving increasing attention on the nationwide news level. We trust this awareness will bring about an early start on an Arctic-wide study of the effects of radioactivity on both plant and animal life. Late last month, Senator E. L. Bartlett of Alaska reiterated a demand for the implementation of such a study, but so far we have heard of no action being taken by the federal government.

A few weeks ago the New York Times published a long article telling how radiation surveys of seven Alaskan villages have shown that Eskimos have far more Cesium 137 in their bodies than the rest of the American population. In the wake of nuclear testing, radioactivity in (hese human bodies has risen above last year's level, and the level is expected to keep on rising this year. Reason for the unusually high concentration of Cesium 137 arises from the special food chain in the Arctic. Lichens act as a "blotting paper" to pick up radioactive fallout. Caribou thrive on the lichen and the Eskimos in turn depend on the caribou for subsistence.

In this week's Time Magazine, the problem is reviewed with focus on Anaktuvuk Pass, where the villagers are now showing 100 times the burden of fallout as that picked up by people in the smaller states. The article concludes with the hopeful observation that "if the U. S. and Russia stick to their recently signed agreement to stop nuclear testing in the atmosphere, the contaminated lichens of northern Alaska will gradually lose their dangerous radioactivity. The body burdens of the caribou will fall lit- -tle by little.

Eventually the people of Anaktuvuk Pass will be no more radioactive than any other Americans." We hope so. But the test ban agreement, whether it is observed or not, should not in itself constitute any excuse for delaying action on an Arctic-wide study of the effects of radioactive fallout.

VIEWS VARY-- Some conservationists opposing the Rampart hydroelectric project on the Yukon Rivtr arc using the argument fhaf nuclear-generated power might ultimately be cheaper, but down in California find conservationism opposing nuclear power. A private power company wants to build a nuclear generator at Bodega Bay, a rustic, unspoiled fishing village 50 miles north of San Francisco. Robert Kent, northern chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, has notified the Atomic Energy Commission: "We unanimously oppose any industrial development of this unique and beautiful part ef California's shoreline Kent is the son of the late Rep. William Kent, a Bull Moose Republican and conservationist of the Theodore Roosevelt era.

His cattle barony covered much of coastal Marin County just south of Bodega. Actually, conservationist groups are split when it comes to the alternative of plugging for nuclear power to prevent hydro project development. Nuclear wattes must be disposed of, and this presents a potential threat to plant and animal life. against the United States.
