THURSDAY, MARCH 21. 1946 CENTRAL POINT AMERICAN. CENTRAL POINT. OREGON LETTER FROM WASHINGTON magician. I have seen him do his act, and 1 believe .he is far better than most professionals. Equally good is Congressman Paul Shafer of Michigan. Although not a Member of Con gress, Carl D. Shoemaker, also an excellent amateur magician, has been colsely identified with the work of Senate Committees for a number of years. Carl Shoemaker has done his act for the Oregon Sttae Society and numerous other groups. He is a former Oregon man. His brothers. S. J. Shoemaker and Dr. B. Shoemaker, live in Roseburg HAUKI" ELLSWOKTH. M. C. 4th District, Oregon VTOM BOMB TEST Elaborate preparations to make u test of the effect of atomic bombs on I naval craft have been under way All of the plans for some time. specifications had previously and been worked out. I believe even the lists of scientists and War und Navy Department personnel who will lie permitted to see the tests are also nearly complete. But it was onb this week that the bill to authoriz the use of Navy ships for targets in the test was passed by the House It was argued on the Floor by a . few Members who were opposed to the conduct Of the tests that it was wrong to destroy a number of our I ships, some of which have been completed less than two year. The answer to this objection was that wc cannot tell what sort of ships to have in our future naval defense un- less we know definitely what hap- pens to ships when they are attacked with atomic bombs. The ' ompletion of some ships’now under construc tion has been delayed until these tests are made. It was pointed out that, unless some modern ships are used as targets, we have no way of construction knowing how modern will react. I have been invited to witness the tests and may do so if too much time is not required, and if there is a lull in Congressional business. n.
