_ ALICE FRANKLIN BRYANT 2813 NORTH BROADWAY ‘ SEATTLE 2, WASHINGTON e : a : . Autumn, 1959 Dear Educator: Some months ago a debate instructor in a southern state university wrote me asking [or documentation of information contained in a letter I had written on bomb-testing and radiation which was published in The Christian Science Monitor. She said it was precisely the kind of mate- rial that her debate team was wanting. (Her special delivery airmail letter took so long to reach me via the Monitor that I had to telephone the documentation to her on the eve of her debate tour.) This occurrence made me think that other debate instructors and ‘social science teachers might be able to make some use of my inclosed folder on "Radiation and the Race."" It is a new edition, brought up to date and gotten out in September, 1959. I wrote the folder and had it printed at first quite independently in May of last year. Later the American Friends Service Committee started using it, then the Baptist Council on Christian Social Progress and the Methodist Board of World ‘Peace. Copies may be ordered from me or from AFSC. At the present time, however, AFSC does not have this new edition but one gotten out in April of this year -- the section 'Few Facts Are Available" is entirely different and some passages on the first and second pages are different. To supply additional documentation: The Wadsworth statement at top of page 6 is from an INS release of May 19, 1956; and the Shippingport data on the same page is from “Atomic Power for American Homes," Saturday Evening Post, Feb. 8, 1958. ° The white sheet inclosed offers a few insights into the propaganda which has been used to-gain ovr support for the arms race, ‘I do hope that you will read "Radiation and the Race" and will con- Sider using it or some of its material -- especially since France and China are reported now ready to test bombs; and other countries, also, will soon be Atomic Powers. Sincerely ‘yours, MithblBgant
