Equally

Although not a Member of Con

been colsely identified with the work

of years. Carl Shoemaker has done
his act for the Oregon Sttae Society

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.
