a rf Under the circumstances the Kyushu Bloc Council on 14 May this year invited to Japan Mr. (33) and ur. (27) of Rongelap Island as the first group from among the 66 subjects of the medical charts. They received medical treatment admitted to the Red Cross Nagasaki A-bomb Hospital. Statement by Dr. Takaaki Shikaya, Chief of Clinical Laboratory, Red Cross A-bomb Hospital: The analysis of medical charts was almost complete at the end of July this year. Some cases showed bone marrow disorder 18 years after exposure, differing greatly from onset 4-5 years later in case of Nagasaki. In any case, when the bone marrow is impaired there is a great risk of hematopoietic disturbance appearing and careful surveillance seems to be indicated. However, these medical charts have been _ reported in Chapter 12 of “Atomic Medicine" published in the United States in 1969, and the results of analysis are nothing new to medical scientists.
