REFER TO:

February 15, 1952.

Dr. Charles L. Dunham
Chief, Medical Branch
Division of Biology and Medicine
Atomic Energy Commission
Washington, D. C.
Dear Dr. Dunham:

Transmitted herewith is a copy of U.S. Public Health

Service Security File #3001+3 consisting of a report of
unusual walrus mortality on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska.

Because of the nature of the injuries probably causing
the deaths of these animals and because of the probable
geographic source of their bodies, it is believed that the
Atomic Energy Commission should be informed of the incident.
You were suggested by San. Engr. Director Gordon E. McCallun,
Sr. Surgeon Samuel C. Ingraham, II, and the U. S. Public
Atomic Energy Commission of whom they know and in whose
advice they have confidence.
I should like to request that you accept delivery of
the file, which you will note carries a classification of
"Secret", and see that it is placed in the hands of the
person in the Atomic Energy Commission who should receive
such information.
