He also is seriously concerned over te-! ports that St. Louis milk has more strontium-90 in it now than when the regular U. S. testing program wras begun about two years ago. Although area milk has nor been checked, its count probably is similarly rising.

The milk-testing program was launched to keep a running check on the amount of radioactive fallout reaching this country from bomb tests in the Pacific Ocean and elsewhere.
