WARNING ON ATOMIC

Geneva, Aug. 17.``
A Japanese surgeon who treated the Bikini fishermen said today there has been "no practical progress" towards shielding mankind from the long-term effects of atomic radiation.
"We are still in the theoretical stage. There has been no practical progress in safeguarding humans from the long-term effects of nuclear radiation," Dr Masao, Tsuzuki said.
