We Must Prevent War To Avoid Atom Bomb Being Dropped On Us, Dr. Hoecker Says
The only way we can avoid having the atomic bomb dropped on us is to prevent another war, Dr. Frank Hoecker, of the physics department, told a meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers last week.
Vacancies on the group's executive board were filled by Warren Shaw, sophomore representative; and Walter Stockbrand and Craig Ramsey, freshman representatives.
Dr. Hoecker told of his experiences while serving with the radiological safety service at Bikini during the second atomic bomb test.
The Radiological Safety service was organized to protect personnel from radiation caused by the bomb, to collect scientific data on the intensity of the rays, and to train personnel for atomic warfare.
The service instructed military personnel in how to approach areas on which the atomic bomb had been dropped, and the proper care against harmful, radiation.
Dr. Hoecker flew with scientists from Chicago and Rochester universities to witness the test.
"We saw the damage which was done to the ships, both above and below decks," he said "but the most dangerous effect of the bomb was invisible to us.
"The radiation cannot be washed off, and there is no way to remove it once it has settled in the matter.
We could not get near some of the ships because of the lasting radiation, which remains for periods as great as two years." he added.
Radiation destroys the corpuscle-producing cells of the bone marrow, and does not always kill instantly. Due to the construction of the bomb, he said, there is no practical way of protection against it.
