COMMENTS :
Appr oval
The progress report indicates an adequate amount of work and sonic
progress, although no conclusions, Ccrtain statenents made in both the
application and report are highly uncritical and show considerable un-
faniliority with the known effect of whole body irradiation on tissue
fragility, The statistical evaluation is misleading, More aninals and
repeated experiments are needed to evaluate the significance of the small
difforences involved.
The sum requested for additional personnel and for animals seens
excessive; likewise the sum for travel, ‘pprovel is recommended, largely
because of the necd for checking the elcetrophoretic data obtained, using
other tissues and other species, but in reduced amount,
ares
$2, 7443.
$3, 5003 and 35, 000.
