(U.R) A small group of Army volunteers here specializes in the danger ous art of disarming nuclear "duds" or A or H bombs that fail to explode. These "duds" are considered one of the grim and dangerous possibilities of atomic warfare. While much of the bomb-disposal work is secret, it is known that ordnance disposal units have been designated to disarm nucle ar duds and have been stationed near "target" cities. The 40th Ordnance Detach ment of the Second Anti-Aircraft Artillery Group is standing ty here to render inert any Nike shells now being used by the group. The group will operate the Nike guided-missile bases being built on the Niagara Fron tier. Unlike conventional bombs which often were exploded in place in World War II and in Korea, nuclear duds would have so much destructive potential that they must be disarmed. Also, a dismantled nuclear bomb would tell U. S. experts the status of the enemy's atomic pro gress. The danger of the work ex plains why the ordnance men must be volunteers and get extra pay. The men must have a dis regard for that danger that lets them tinker with a bomb that may blow them up. No Major War Seen Over Formosa Crisis Mainla U.R) Newspaper executive Roy W. Howard said today he did not believe a major war will erupt at the present time from the explosive For mosa situation. Howard, chairman of the Executive committee of the Scripps -Howard newspapers, said in an interview there was always a chance of a third world war being ignited in a show down between the United States and Red China in the Formosa Strait. But he added he was of the belief there was no probabil ity of such a war at the present time. "Nobody in the U.S. govern ment is losing sight of the fact that a third world war is always possible under the situation that exists there," Howard said. Medical School Granis Said $110,000 Portland (U.R) The Univer sity of Oregon Medical School has received more than $110,000 in gifts and grants since March 4.
