Based on the Scripps findings, it was concluded "that the area is free of food fish." Second Underwater Test It will be only the second U.S. atomic device to be set off under water. The first underwater shot was part of the 1946 "operation crossroads" at Bikini atoll in the Pacific. In this test, the bomb was set off in comparatively shallow water of Bikini lagoon. Plans for a deep underwater ex plosion at Bikini in 1946 were cancelled.

"I had my shirt on at the time," he said. Sheppard Loses New Trial Plea For Wife Slaying Cleveland, O. (U.R) Common Pleas Judge Edward Blythin has thrown out Dr. Samuel H. Shep pard's pleas for a new trial be cause the claim of new evidence was "still in the realm of theory." The 31-year-old osteopath, in his second bid for a new trial since he was convicted of his wife's murder, had argued that; evidence discovered since his conviction showed someone else committed the crime. The state, arguing against the appeal, said the defense case was "opinions, speculations and conjectures." Judge Blythin's 16-page re fusal to grant the new trial said defense attorneys had failed to show that evidence submitted for his study was not available at the time the trial started last fall. Further, Judge Blythin said, some of it had been entered dur ing the trial proceedings, but had been rejected by the jury in reaching its decision. NEW JAIL DIET Des Moines, la.
