Lai Vegas, Nev. U.R) An
atomic bomb dropped from
high flying U. S. Air Force
bomber over Frenchman'! Flats
nrovine grounds 75 miles north
of here exploded and gently
shook this resort city Tuesday
just as merchants were opening
doors for the city s business.
The air drop was confirmed by
atomic energy officials charged
with a new series of A-tests
which got under way with Tues
day morning s detonation- They
would not reveal the . type of
bomber or the height from which
it was dropped.
Mo Troops Involved
No troops or animals partici
pated in the test, the AEC said.
The AEC said the test was the
first held at Frenchman's Flat
since early in 1951. The last, se
ries of "shots" detonated last fall,
were held on Yucca Flat, border
ing Frenchman s Flat, and in
cluded atomic troop maneuvers!
Tuesday's blast was barely vis

New Copco Unit
On Umpqua River
Now in Operation
Toketee Falls The . Soda
Springs generating plant, most
recently completed of the eight
planned in the Toketee develop
ment of the California Oregon
Power company, went into par
tial operation last week."
-The new unit which, when
completed, will add some 11,250
kilowatts of power to Copco's
system, was tested early last
week, and began limited service
oa Thursday. It is the third unit
to begin operation in the Toke
tee area. Others were Toketee
Itself, and the Slide creek unit.
Regulating Dam
Built at a cost of some $3,500,-
000, the newest power unit in
cludes a regulating dam down
stream from Toketee, but above
Slide creek. Water from the up
stream plants is collected by the
Soda Springs dam, and is then
released in a steady flow, per
mitting the uninterrupted gener
ation of water downstream.
The next unit to be completed
will be the Fish Creek plant,
which will add another 6,000 kil
owatts to the project's power po
tential. It will cost some $1,000,
000, and is above the Slide Creek
and Soda Springs plants. It may
be in operation by June.
Two Others Started
Preliminary construction . has
been started on Clearwater No.
1 and No. 2 plants. No. 1 is
scheduled for completion early
in 1953. Other construction this
year will include transmission
line additions.
The three completed units
Toketee, Slide Creek and Soda
Springs have added some 71,
750 kilowatts to the Copco sys
tem. With the completion of
Fish Creek, the two Clearwater
plants, and two contemplated
units near Lemolo Falls, a total
of 145,000 kilowatts will be
available from the entire North

Light shock waves shook the
city minutes after the blast. No
reports of damage were received.
The AEC announced that two
high explosive shots preceded the
actual bomb drop to check shock
wave direction.
The blast was the 14th nuclear
explosion within the continental
U. S.' and the 25th, including the
two bombs the U. S. dropped
during the Pacific war in the
summer of 1945.
There was no immediate of
ficial confirmation of the blast
from the Atomic Energy Com
mission headquarters here.
Eight shock waves shook the
city minutes after the blast.
Thousands of curious tourists
flooded the . streets and were
packed sardine-like on rooftops,

Montana Residents
Flee Flash Flood
Havre; Mont. (U.R) A flash
flood caused by an ice jam in
the Milk river sent an estimat
ed 1,500 northside residents flee
ing from their homes in sub-
freezing weather Tuesday. .
Havre's two hospitals report
ed no loss of life.
Water backed up by an ice
gorge 13 miles east of here
spilled into lowland farms and
brimmed over banks within this
city of 8,086 persons. The north
section of the city was complete
ly inundated, and a waterlogged
earthen dike between the resi
dential district and downtown
Havre was 'crumbling and
threatening to give way," city
officials reported.
"Water is still rising and
evacuation continues," Mayor
Oval Hatler reported at 5 a. m.
(PST). "The entire population
of the northside residential dis
trict has been evacuated. The
dike is being reinforced by 100
flood workers, but may give
way any moment."
Planes prepared to take off
to -dynamite the huge ice floe
to relieve upstream areas.
Friday, to 429. And Monday the
total reached 1,024.
More than 70,000 applications
have been received to date or
about half of the estimated total
of 135,000 to 140,000.
' The average bonus for living
veterans, as indicated by appli
cations filed to date, is around
$420. . But Saalfeld noted . that
those who have the most money
coming are naturally the first to
file and the man with only $50
or $60 coming, say, may take it
easy and file later.
He estimated that the aver
age bonus finally will be around
$410 for the living veteran. The
average to .date for benefici
aries, survivors of veterans, is
$552. The average for survivors
is higher - because in any case
where a veteran died while in
service, his beneficiary is en
titled to the full $600 maximum
bonus. -" - i

There also were reports the

A launching platform would

Of Dollar
On Steel Dispute
Washington 0J.R) Charles E. Wilson packed up to "go fish
ing" Tuesday with a final warning that the fate of the U.S. dollar
hangs on President Truman's solution of the steel wage-price
dispute.
Wilson officially threw up his job as defense mobilizer Mon
day night rather than go along with Mr. Truman in sanctioning m
steel wage raise without a compensating increase in steel prices.
The 65-year-old industrialist, who has helped rearm America
in two national emergencies, bowed out with an angry blast at the
President and a reassuring word to the nation as a whole that the
mobilization job he undertook in the dark days after Korea is two-
thirds completed.

On War Production

"In quality of . production, I
believe that we already have
passed them.
"We and our allies, in view
of the way production is rolling,
now have the balance of world
power."
The outgoing mobilizer was
less optimistic about the future
of the wage-price . stabilization
program.
He told newsmen he still be
lieves the steel pay raises of 26
cents an hour, recommended by
the Wage Stabilization board
and -approved by Mr. Truman
over his objections, are a seri
ous threat to the stability of the
American economy.
"I haven't changed my mind
one bit on that," he said em
phatically. Wilson, who gave up a $175,-
000-a-year job as president of

become defense mobilizer, said
he has no plans to return to pri
vate business.

generals in the sub-delegations
will meet on the Russian issue
for the first time Thursday. '
The Communists insist that
Russia be one of the six neutral
nations policing ' the armistice.
The demand was rejected by the
Allies. Along with prisoner ex

rebuilding North Korean air
fields, it is one of the major
blocks to peace in Korea.
