Fall-Out Scare Is Disputed
Baltimore AEC physician Dr C W Schilling says public fears over fallout are overblown and that heat baths can harm sex glands as much as fallout. He notes natural background radiation totals 4.3 roentgens by age 30 and medical X rays add about 3 roentgens, while fallout from weapon testing would add only about a tenth of a roentgen. He urges cautious but useful use of radiation in industry and medicine with justified exposure.
