Volunteers Disarm
Nuclear 'Duds'
Ft. Niagara, N. Y. (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.
