By ALTON BLAKESLEE HIROSHIMA, Japar (AP) -- A go-between was arranging pretty Katsuko Tanaka's marriage, and her heart was singing. Suddenly the wedding was wrecked by ome fearful word-- radiation. Parents of the young man learned Katsuko had lived In Hiroshima that shattering day 14 vears ago when a city first died under an atomic bomb. To them this meant she was tainted by radiation, genetically {dangerous, likely to bear mal- formed children. Katsuko in fact had not been exposed to radia- tion--but that didn't matter. Kat- suke's name is fictitious. The in- ~ident is real, one expression of tragic psvchological scars and anxieties in the wake of atomic warfare. Young trees flourish now in Hiroshima and Nagasaki," which was bombed three days after- ward. The cities have been re- | built. FEAR AND MYSTERY But there walks the spectre of fear and mystery of radiation and radioactivity, the new ele ment unleashed by A-bombs. Much of this new tragedy ap- pears avoidable. Fear of "bad seed' leads some parents to oppose marriage of their children with A-bomb sur- vivors, almost threatening a new class of atomic outcasts. -Thiis fear persists despite an American-Japanese study of all 70,000 children born during 1948- 54 in both cities. It found no sig- nificant difference in numbers of malformations stillbirths, or de- fects between the offspring of survivors, and the children of sorents not exposed to A-bombs. Rumor, at least, says some em pioyers hesitate to hire survivors because they may sicken later, ans cannot detect any physical causes. Some physicians think this a psychological effect; a few wonder if it is due to undetected liver damage. Dr. Yoshiso Kubo, social psy- |chologist of Hiroshima Univer- |sity, interviewed 500 or more sur- vivors. He found many beset by vague psychological fears, in- cluding anxiety that physical ex- aminations when they feel badly hy radiation.

GENEVA PARK CONFERENCE By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor GENEVA PARK, Lake Couchi- ching (CP)--Democracy in Asia may take many forms and the West should not expeet an exact following of Western methods, the conference of the Canadian 'In- stitute on Public Affairs was told Monday night by Asian speakers. Dr. L. N. Palar, Indonesian ambassador to Canada, took is- sue with the Western tendency putting the Communist label on governments which do not do as they do.

Eleven years ago a neighbor- ing family of the Whytes near Bowmanville, a town about 10 miles east of Oshawa, suffered financial reverses and lost their and their four children. They left when the husband got had got around. Couples with children began appearing at her door.
