Dead line Sunday clasHlerip II 5:30 p.m for following day: 10 a.fn Monday for Monday: ooon Saturda) for Sunday a.m 1500 American Troops Awaiting Today's A-Blast at Desert Camp Yucca Flat, Nev. (U.R) Fif teen hundred hardy young Amer icans at Camp Desert Rock, in a bleak and windswept valley 20 miles distant, prepared Monday to move into the foxholes of Yucca Flat. There they will be in closer proximity to Tuesday's atomic bomb blast than any troops have ever been, since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. With them were 120 para troopers who, after exposure to the great blast officially la belled as "equal to 100 suns," would then board troop carrying airplanes and be dropped just beyond the blasted area called "Ground Zero." Closest to A-Blast. The test will put American foot soldiers the closest they have ever been to an A-blast a distance of about seven miles. And also for the first time, American TV viewers will get their first look at a "live" atomic explosion actually going off. Meantime, scientists young and old, some of them sedately at tired but most of them young, hatless and wearing brightly col ored sports shirts, completed final installation of instruments in towers 300 fct high above and in bunkers far below the sage covered floor of this high desert valley. Predict Clear Weather The weather forecast, awaited anxiously by the hundreds of participants and observers, pre dicted decreasing cloudiness dur ing the day and clear weather by Tuesday. The bomb itself was believed to be in readiness at Kirtland Air Force base near Albuquerque. N. M. The bomb may be carried by a B-50 bomber. Officers and troops at Camp Desert Rock were in high spirits and obviously relished the ven ture facing them. Purpose of the extraordinarily close exposure of troops, in or dinary foxholes four feet deep without reinforcement, was two fold, Storke said. Objective Is Training First objective is tactical train ing so that, in the language of the layman, an invading force will be able to follow up swiftly and with reasonable safety an liuiiuc ounioing aiiacK upon enemy sirongnoias. These troops are to learn how to invade an enemy military area still stunned by the force of atomic attack and to capture sur viving personnel and objectives. "From our experience here," Storke said, "we have learned that the Army's tactical doctrine is so sound as to require neither basic change nor modification. Same Tactics "An assault supported by atomic weapons, similar to the test to be staged, will involve the same general tactics as as sault supported by conventional high explosive shelling or aerial bombardment." Second objective is to analyze the psychological reactions of the participating troops, the general said. Officers and men of the combat team Were interviewed by Army experts prior to their arrival at Desert Rock. They will be carefully checked while the great strain of the experi ment itself is under way, and will be interviewed again after they return to home stations. Tuesday. April 22, 1932 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN 1952 Seen as Year Of H-Bomb; Test Scheduled in Fall nasmngion u.rj lnis ap pears to be the year of the H-bomb. Weaponeers are confident that the country's first real H-bomb test, planned for next fall at Eniwetok, will be a success. So far there have been no public announcements about the stage of H-bomb development. But one atomic insider has told the United Press; "Bubbling Along" "Things are bubbling along In the whole area of H-bomb work. The activity is intense, and damned important things are happening. The people should be made aware that they are hap pening." Other sources have said the first test explosion of an H-bomb will be held in September at the atomic proving ground in the Pacific. It will be a tremendous explo sion, if it works as well as in formed sources believe it will. It will be a "bang" far bigger than the Atomic Energy Com mission is willing to set off at the continental proving ground near Las Vegas, Nev. Only relatively "small" atomic explosions are permitted there. The so-called "public" explosion scheduled in Nevada Tuesday will be of a "nominal" A-bomb roughly comparable to those detonated over Nagasaki in World War II and at Bikini in 1946. The first H-bomb will be a souped up A-bomb whose ex plosive power has been augment ed by a kind of heavy hydrogen which can be made to blow up under the influence of atomic heat. For years now there has been talk of a hydrogen "super bomb" 1,000 times more powerful than a "nominal" A bomb. To have a clean hankerchlef in a hurry: Wash, rinse, and blot in a towel. Pull the h e m straight, square the corners, and "paste" flat to dry against a tile dall, mirror, or over the edge of the bathtub.
