    Dr. Findlay E. Russell

    College of Medical Evangelists

    Laboratory of Neurological Research

    1200 North State Street

    Los Angeles 33, California

    Dear Dr. Russell:

    Thank you for sending me the copy of Scope Weekly, which I probably would not have seen otherwise.

    I am interested to see the results reported by Dr. Court Brown. The statistical significance of this work (10.5 childhood deaths) is far less than that of the work of Dr. Stewart and her coworkers (1,416 deaths by cancer, with 196 of the children having been exposed to x-radiation in the fetal stage).

    I am making a little additional statistical investigation. The preliminary results indicate that these two studies are not mutually incompatible, to within their reliability, and that probably the children who die of childhood cancer in larger numbers in the exposed than the unexposed population are those who among the exposed ones have received a larger than average amount of radiation.

    Sincerely yours,

    Dictated by Professor Pauling
