-a 7 MEDFORD, Tribune Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1950 Pages 1-6 No Matter How Delivered, Atom Bomb Is City Wrecker ; Washington, June 15 U.R i No matter how you deliver it, j whether in shells, missile war f heads, or tramp steamers, the atomic bomb remains a city ' wrecker. So neither the army nor any i body else is going to use atomic v explosives to knock out a tank here or a pillbox there or a slit trench somewhere else. That would be sending a giant to do a midget s job, an author ity said today.

Junp 15 U.R) The first Fraser vallev flooding of 1950 was promised around Mission tomorrow as the Fraser river passed the danger level of 28 feet today. The level at Hope was 28.3 feet, and at Mission was 19.08 feet today, the dominion water resources board here reported. Tomorrow it will be past the flood mark of 20 feet at Mission "and a few people are going to get their land wet," board of ficial Douglas McLeod said. port on the A-bomb was writ ten in 1945. "We haven't repealed or changed any laws of physics since then," he said. To make an atomic explosion, it still is necessary to get togeth er a "hyper-critical mass" of atomic explosive, uranium-235 or Plutonium. And once you do that, you get a bang comparable to the ex plosion of thousands of tons of TNT. Even if only a pound of the material "fissioned," the re sultant blast would be the equiv alent of 8,000 tons of exploding TNT. Overall Size Reduced So when Defense Secretary Louis Johnson, Gen. J. Lawton Collins and Army Secretary Frank C. Pace Jr. talk about atomic "tactical" weapons, they aren't talking about anti-tank ri fles and the like. It is no secret that the overall size of the atomic bomb has been reduced to some extent since the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is the detonating mechanism and material that is bulky, not the explosive. In Guided Missile It is conceivable that the A-bomb could by ingenious en gineering tricks be fitted into the warhead of a large guided mis sile. In any case, military scientists are trying to do just that. Rob ert F. Rinehart, executive secre tary of the research and devel opment board, said last night that they are working to that end. He did not, however, make a progress report. Others have said it probably will take a "few" years more two to five, say to do the job.
