Objections to Senator Walska on Radium Control
Washington, D. C. General objections to government control of all radium production were voiced before the Senate mines committee. JOM planners of Mutshure attacked broad powers of the interior secretary as an outrage. Flannery cited a Colorado field probe as insufficient for the house radiological act. Manners offered to reveal his firm's radium process if the government would use it long enough to aid charity. He blamed late Representative Bremner of New Jersey for radium deaths from rapid administration. He predicted radium will be less important than ore uses, with radioactive earth showing agricultural fertilizer potential. Vegetables reportedly gained up to 3 percent.
