He said the fleet drilled con
stantly on wind observation and
correct operation of ships, both
essentials in avoiding radioac

plosions. A "radiological safety officer"
lays out combat problems and
the fleet crews compete enthu
siastically to solve them, Oldfield
said.
Oldfield said a steady stream

U. S. Warships in Pacific
Ready for Atomic Warfare
By ALBERT W. W1ESE
Unll4 PrM Vtftff Corrtp0D4tit
San Diego, Cal., Sept. 18 (US) A navy radiological expert re
vealed today that every warship and naval air squadron of the
Pacific fleet is now prepared for atomic war.
In an exclusive interview with the United Press, Cmdr. J. C.
Oldfield, officer in charge of all atomic decontamination for the
air forces of the Pacific fleet,
said that all units are now com
pletely equipped for defense
against radioactivity exposure.
Each unit has a specialist as
signed to it who has been train
ed in decontamination of both
ships and men, Oldfield said.
"They are set up to handle
two problems," Oldfield declar
ed, "Protection of personnel and
cleaning of a ship that has been
made dangerous."
Oldfield. who took part in the
recent secret atom bomb tests
at Eniwetok, said treatment of
personnel was very similar to
that given men who have been
exposed to poison gas.
"The men are stripped and
washed thoroughly In running
water. All clothing that has been
contaminated is either thrown
away or sent away to be cleaned.
A man is checked carefully with
instruments after decontamina
tion to make sure he is clear.' If
he is not, he is sent through
again.
"The Bikini atom bomb tests
have showed us some new
methods in further cleaning of
personnel and in the develop
ment of certain material to help
prevent the radioactivity from
reaching the man," Oldfield
said.
"The big problem is in de
contaminating a ship once it has
entered a radioactive area. How
ever, with techniques and ma
terial developed, we are over
coming that problem too."
A graduate of the navy's secret
radiological safety school on
Treasure island in San Francis
co bay, Oldfield said the area
contaminated by an atomic
blast is not as great as many
people believe.
"A ship can become contamin
ated two ways by an atom bomb
explosion," he said. "At the
blast, particles of fissionable
material are blown into the air
and may settle on a ship. Or it
may become contaminated by
radioactive particles dropped
from the cloud formed by the
explosion."

ran to the trailer to investigate
Rongel killed Martinez with an
other shot. Shortly after, police
and sheriff's deputies arrived at
the scene with tear gas guns.
When Rongel answered their
demands to come out of the
trailer with a shot, deputies
fired a tear gas shell inside.
Moments later, Rongel stag-l
gered to the door, tears stream
ing down his face. He fired his
pistol wildly, endangering the
hundreds of spectators who had
gathered.
Deputy Sheriff Ernest Haw
