27 (At--An Atomic Energy Commission staff scientist today took issue with the majority of the commission itself regarding a statement he said took "an unjustifiably optimistic view" of the potential hazard from radioactive strontium in fallout from atomic tests. Radioactive strontium is one ui many radioactive products released in the detonation of A bombs and H-bombs. Many atomic experts, including the AEC itself, have said that it is potentially the most hazardous of all "fallout" materials--provided enough of it accumulates in the body. This is because it has a tendency to be retained in the bone structure, and therefore might cause bone cancer if enough of it were present in the body. John Wolfe said he! "objected" to a recent statement' by all but one member of the five- man AEC commission that "it appears that the present level of weapons testing, the present and potential contribution of Strontium 90 to the world ecology is nol a significant factor." Wolfe himself is an ecologist-that is, a scientist devoted to studying the relationships between man, animals and plants and their environment, including the natural waters, the soil and air.

Addressing a special symposium on "radiation ecology" at the annual convention of the American Institute of Biological Sciences, convened at the University of Con- necticut, Wolfe declared that "as ecologists, we should object" to the AEC's statement. He said the AEC's conclusion was based only upon records of "average" fallout of strontium, throughout the world and he added: "Perhaps the present hazard insignificant, but the potential hazard in local can neit' er be calculated, estimated or guessed ori the basis of average fallout records. "Suppose racioctive fallout is uniform all over the planet. What we need to know, it seems to. me, are the extremes in local areas, resulting from accumulation and redistribution on slopes, bottomland, in the organic debris of TIMES-NEWS CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS said President Eisenhower have "to run on his record year, unlike 1952.

BENNETT EDWARDS, INC. CHR1STOPHER-CAWOOD PRICE RAMEY, INC. TIPTON INSURANCE AGENCY J. T. PARKER INSURANCE AGENCY In 1918 Kingsport's first hospital was opened on the second floor of the Hicks Building shown at left above.

The hospital came into being as the result of the influenza twenty rooms were filled almost immediately. Today, Kingsport and its surrounding area is blessed by having one of the finest hospitals in this part of the country. The Holston Valley Community Hospital which has been expanded since its original beginnings in 1935 until it now has 245 beds and 48 bassinets and completely modern medical facilities. The desire of the people in Kingsport and its community leaders for a better city resulted in the establishment and growth of the Holston Valley Community Hospital. It's another indication of the progress that Kingsport has made.

We believe that Kingsport will continue to grow. With this growth will come a need for more electricity to turn the wheels of industry and provide electric living for more peo- pie. We have underway a new $4y2-million-dollar program to expand our electric facilities which serve 1 this growing area. Inducted in the program are new transmission lines and stations. Already nearing completion is the new high voltage line from Hill, Virginia, to the West Kingsport Station.

Other lines will be built to connect Kingsport to Appalachian Electric Power's Clinch River plant now being built in Russell County, Virginia. As Kingsport moves ahead to "better new days," building ahead so that you may continue to live better electrically. Kingsport Utilities, Inc.
