V v«- PAGB 4 - PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY, JULY M. If7f Compensation Disabilities Full Review Of The Veterans administration has initiated a full review of 229 claims it has denied from veterans who sought com­ pensation for disabilities, in- chiding cancer, which they related to their participation in atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. Thousands of servicemen were exposed to varying levels of radiation from nuclear tests conducted between 1945 and 1963. VA General Counsel Guy H. McMichael III told the Senate Veterans Affairs committee the agency will ask each of the military services involved in the atomic tests to compute, within the next 30 days, estimates of the highest likely radiation exposure for each of the 229 veterans. He told the committee that "there are serious difficulties inherent in the adjudication of claims involving long time intervals between radiation exposure and the appearance of cancer." The first, he said, is that "radiation-induced cancers have no unique pathological characteristics to distinguish them from cancers due to 'natural' causes. This makes it impossible to determine - with certainty - whether such a disease would have occurred regardless of radiation ex­ posure." McMichael said a govern­ ment task force recently reported "a 'natural' incidence of fatal cancer of 1,600 in a population of 10,000." One additional death could be ex­ pected for each additional "rem" of exposure to which the entire group was subject. He told the committee that "(he realm of probabilities with which we are dealing is ac­ tually quite small when it is realized that the Defense department estimates that approximately 8?percent of the (atomic test) participants received less than one rem of external radiation and about 97 percent less than three rems." But, he said, in view of the increasing number of radiation exposure claims filed with VA" in the past year, the agency will issue formal guidelines to codify existing practices and improve the handling of such claims. Included is VA acceptance of a veteran's statement that he was present at an atomic test, unless military records con­ clusively prove such was not the case. % "As is also currently done, when an individual dosimetry reading for a claimant is- not available, but reconstruction of data indicates his unit was exposed to a range of exposure levels, it will be presumed that the exposure was at the upper limit of the range," he said. "In addition, instructions will be issued which describe generally accepted medical principles concerning casual relationships between exposure to ionizing radiation and the development of various diseases, with carefully worded caveats reflecting the many uncertainties remaining in this area. :• ' - ' • H i i E E • ' « "Emphasis will again be placed on the agency policy to resolve in a claimant's favor any reasonable doubt as to service origin of a disease," McMichael said.

Before the minutes of this special meeting could be ap­ proved, Board President Charles Boak requested that they be amended to include the rather lengthy discussion about the disposition of the high school parking lot extension, {dans for which are being held up now due to an unsolved drainage problem. Apparently the board's request was misunderstood for price break­ downs which included graveling two areas and in­ stalling heavy duty fencing for equipment, and another estimate including asphalt for both areas but no fencing. Busienss manager Ken Falkinham said the request would be easy to comply with, » and the minutes were approved as amended. Approval was given to City Wide Carpet's bid of $946 for purchase and installation of a 74-foot high drama lab area. The 100-foot span would have ..a probable two-vertical joints, and could be considered fairly safe from would-be vandals.

At an earlier board meeting, this had been presented as an area which was difficult to assess, because very often persons with expertise in vocational skills did not have four-year college degrees, and many with four-year degrees would not be well enough grounded in vocational areas. The policy accepted states that teachers with four-year degrees and valid teaching certificates also have 2,000 hours work experience in the area they are teaching. Teachers with two years of college must have 4,000 hours actual experience in their field, and teachers without two years of College must have 8,000 hours in the area they will teach. -r- .• (a LENDER Hi wm, LOOKS SIMPLE.JDOESNT IT?
