-5Dr. Knudsen and Dr. Kotrady reported that, though they observed no frank malnutrition, they felt the nutrition of the Bikini people was somewhat deficient mainly with regard to protein, vitamins and possibly trace metals. General complaints of joint and muscle aches may have been related to such deficiencies, though psychosomatic effects of their apprehension regarding radiation may have played a role. Diet, subsidized by the T.T., appeared to be heavy on the starches with less protein and practically no fresh fruit or vegetables. Recently powdered milk has been added to the diet but advice in uses would be helpful. It is recommended that since it is difficult to get fresh fruits or vegetables to Bikini, that ample vitamin supplies be made available to allow for daily tablet distribution to all the people. Urine samples, rats, chickens and pigs samples were obtained for analysis. In addition, Mr. Greenhouse’s group collected water, water catchment sediment, dust samples from houses etc. for analysis. ~~ The Japanese TV Group: This group headed by Dr. Hayakawa (a surgeon from Tokyo, who had been with us on a previous survey) accompanied the team on the LCU to Wotje, Utirik, Rongelap and Enyu. They were not allowed on Bikini nor were they permitted to take pictures at Kwajalein. They took many sound movies of the medical team in action in the outer islands. They were a pleasant group and interferred as little as possible with the survey. A 50 minute TV movie of the survey will be shown in Japan at 8-9 p.m. .on May 20th, Channel 1, NHK (Japanese Broadcasting Company). The group also visited ERDA in Washington and BNL after the survey. We have every reason to believe that the program will reflect favor‘ably on BNL and ERDA. We have requested certain personnel to view the program in Japan and send us reports. R. A. Conard, M.D.
