Adenauer's Men
Win in Germany
, MAINZ. Germany (APi —
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
Christian Democrats <CDUI
trounced the anti-rearmament
Socialists Sunday night in an
election testing the popularity
of his pro-American foreign pol
icy.
* Voters in the state of Rhine
land-Palatinate gave Adenauer's
party an absolute majority in the
new 100-seat Parliament.
This insured firm control of
the federal Bundesrat (upper
house) during the crucial period
when Adenauer will submit for
its approval legislation for the
arming of 500.000 West Germans
in the Atlantic alliance.
Adenauer Gets Votes
The states name the Bundesrat
members. Adenauer needed this
state's four Bundesrat votes to
keep his two-thirds majority
there.
Official results announced by
the State Election Bureau gave
the Christian Democrats 51 seats
to 36 for the Socialists and 13
for the right-wing Free Demo
crats (FDP).
Ruled Since 1951
Adenauer's CDU has ruled
Rhineland-Palatinate in a coali
tion with the Free Democrats
since 1951.
This state, with its two million
eligible voters, was the first to
hold an election since West Ger
many became sovereign and
joined the Atlantic alliance.
Communism Rejected
Communism .and'Extreme right
ism were rejected decisively.
Neither the Nazi-like Free Vot
ers' association, which had
waged a costly campaign, nor
the Communists won a single
seat.
1 civil defense test 10 days ago.
That one was rated at about
35 kilotons—the equivalent of
35,000 tons of TNT—or more
than one and a half times as pow
erful as the blasts that raked
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Jets Make Debut
The faster-than-sound planes
making their nuclear-test debut,
were two North American F100
Super Sabre jets. They simulat
ed bomb deliveries just ahead of
the explosion.
Altogether about 90 aircraft
from Edwards Air Force Base
; at Muroc. Calif., took part.
As in the May 5 Survival City
test, the firing was from atop
a 500-foot tower on Yucca Flat.
Blast Felt
At the town of Indian Springs
and its adjoining Air Force base
35 miles from the test site, the
blast was described as a “crack,
bang and rumble.’’ The control
point 14 miles from ground zero
reported a “very sharp crack.”
The Atomic Energy commission
installation at Mercury, 25 miles
away, heard a “loud boom.”
The blast vibrated buildings in
Pioche. Nev., 100 miles, was
barely heard in Las Vegas. 75
miles away and was a "rumble
and light crack" in Bishop. Calif..
135 miles off.
Mushroom Hises
The mushroom cloud rose
rapidly to more than 37,000 feet
and moved eastward.
Twenty-five "major" associat
ed experiments were conducted
with the blast.
Fifteen were for the Los Ala
mos, N.M.. scientific laboratory
which designed the device deto
nated Sunday morning. One was
for the Livermore Radiation lab
oratories near Livermore, Calif.
One was for military effects and
eight for civil effects.
The explosion ended the long
est and most diversified test se
ries yet held in Nevada. The 14th
atomic shot of the series was
the 45th in Nevada and 46th in
the continental United States.
The total number of nuclear
and thermonuclear explosions by
the United States is now in the
60s.
