Test Record Number of Nuclear Bombs at Eniwetok

No Dale Revealed
For Start of New
Experiment Series
Washington UR) The Unit
ed States this spring will set off
the greatest number of experi
mental H-bombs and A-bombs
ever tested at its Eniwetok
Proving ground in the Pacific.
This was disclosed today aft
er the Atomic Energy commis
sion and Defense department of
ficially confirmed that nuclear
tests will be resumed at the
multimillion-dollar test estab
lishment in the Marshall islands.
In the last Eniwetok test se
ries two years ago a record total
of five "devices" were exploded.
Deliverable heavyweight v e r
sions have since gone into the
U.S. atomic arsenal. This year, s
highly qualified source said,
"there will be' more than five
shots."
Though no 5ate was officially
announced for the start of the
new series, a congressional
source said they are scheduled
to start on or before May 1.
They are expected to include:
1. Air drops of 'middleweight
H-bombs" specifically construct
ed to destroy enemy airfields.
This could be the first time that
American H-bombs were actual
ly dropped from an airplane.
Past U.S. hydrogen tests have
been ground shots. The latest
Soviet test H-bomb, exploded
Nov. 2, apparently was deliv
ered on target by heavy bomber.
May Test Missile Warhead
2. Experimental firing of a
new atomic weapon against ene
my H-bombers. An earlier ver
sion with a similar mission was
tested at a high altitude in
Nevada last year. The perfect
ed weapon may be a warhead
for antiaircraft guided missiles
such as the new Nike-B. Or it
may be an airborne atomic war
head, the fighter - interceptor's
. answer to invading bomber
fleets.
The official announcement
was skimpy. In view of the lack
of effective international atom
ic controls, it said, trfls country
will keep on building up its
strength "for purposes of peace."
AEC Chairman Lewis L.
Strauss said in an accompany
ing statement that the tests will
"involve weapons generally
smaller in yield than those test
ed" in March-April-May, 1954.
This was unofficially inter
preted as a concession to foreign
a;itation for a curb on tests
which add to the world's burden
of atomic radiation.
Bark Beetles
Hard To Find
Forest Men Say
Salem (U.R) Douglas fir
bark beetles, which killed more
than 10,000,000,000 board feet of
Oregon timber between 1951
and 1953, now are so scarce the
State Forestry department has
to grow a special crop of beetles
for experimental uses, according
to forestry officials.
Don Allen, chief forest ento
mologist, said "good, healthy
beetles are hard to find. The ab
normal cold and dampness dur
ing the past two years has slow
ed the beetle epidemic."
Cold Spells Death
He said cold days and nights
spell slow death for the destruc
tive insects, which have riddled
some of the finest timber in the
country.
The current shortage of heal
thy beetles affects the experi
mental studies aimed at their
control, Allen said. But he warn
ed that beetles still were in the
woods and the danger was by no
means over. Foresters want to
know the life habits of the in
sects, effects of weather on
them, environment and avail
ability of food. Beetles, with
other insects, killed more timber
than any other cause in recent
years.

fs That So?
A wildlife puzzler. Determine
my identity by No. 2 and you
are an -Outdoor Expert; by No.
4, a Woodsman; by No. 6, a
Dude Wrangler; more than No.
8, a Bewildered Bloke. The so
lution is in the last paragraph.
But why peek?
1. Although I am harmless
and peace-loving, every fang
and claw in my domain, seem
ingly, is against me. For size, no
mammal moves any faster.
When pressed, I swim as fast as
i
a dog. My soles are densely
hairy. Sexes look alike, females
slightly larger. I scream.
2. My honorable forebears go
back, not to man's short span,
but 30,000,000 years and today
I and my close relatives have
spread over most of the world's
large land masses, South Amer
ica excepted. In America, you'll
find us from Mexico to the Arc
tic; from shrubby valleys to
mountain peaks, above timber
line. A creature of habit,
forked trails. Given my share of
greens, I restrict my range to a
circle of two miles in diameter,
say. However cold, we don't
huddle.
3. I weigh about as much as a
new born-babe. My acute ears
are flexible: I can funnel them
toward sound, or lay them on
my back. I twitch my keen nose
constantly. My upper lip is split.
Although I sit on my haunches,
my forelimbs lack grasping
power. By shifting white rump
hair, one of my kind flashes sig
nals while running. I'm a bound
er; when not pressed I generally
leap higher every fourth jump
to check on my pursuer's prog
ress. Young Fully Covered
4. After a six weeks' gestation,
perhaps a half dozen young are
born fully covered with a mot
tled, brownish-gray fur, brown
eyes wide open, lower' incisors
well-developed. Within five min
utes they nurse. Bothered,
they'll rear up and box. After
feeding, mother covers them
with a home-made quilt of fur.
A 50 per cent difference may
exist in size between brothers
and sisters. Within a week, they
eat greens; within three, they
can be on their own; in two
months, they have adult stature.
If luck attends, they may live a
dozen years but few survive
their third birthday.
5. My incisors may grow 20
inches a year; up to 12 feet in
a lifetime! Blessed with a hearty
digestion; we pick and choose
continually from late afternoon
until we retire under shrubs
early next morning. Almost ex
clusively vegetarians, we prefer
buds, leaves, fruits, twigs and
even roots but sometimes we
eat earth for minerals and pick
up an occasional insect or a spot

of carrion. But yum, yum, how
we go for green grass, lettuce,
clover, carrots and cabbage, We
seldom drink much of . our
moisture comes from succulent
vegetation.
6. Coyote and bobcat; bull
snake and rattler; owl and eagle,
flea and tick all are my na
tural enemies. And man! But
my strength lies in these things:
my protective coloration to har
monize .with my background, I
am grayish-brown and some of
my northern kind even whiten
during winter's snowfalls; my
keen vision my big eyes are
placed on the corner of my an
gular head so I can see forward
and backward; my sensitive
hearing apparatus and with
some, my long ears may be one
third the length of my body;
my speed under stress, I can
clear 18-20 feet at a bound with
my strong hindlegs, and make a
good 45 miles an hour; and,
finally, my high, birth rate.
Ritualistic Dance
7. On moonlit nights a dozen
or so may enjoy a ritualistic
social dance, with many caper
ings and high bouncings. The
mating season may extend from
early spring until late fall the
pairing occurring at night. Be
tween ' rival males, there may
be savage fights boxing, with
jabbing forefeet, raking hind
claws, and biting. From these
duels, torn ears often result, and
worse, disembowelment.
8. As intimated, we are pro
lific for our size, we multiply
surely faster than any other
mammal. During peak years
every five to ten years our
numbers reach fantastic propor
tions, often thousands to the
square mile. Then the inevitable
lack of nourishing fo(jd, preda
tors, and' worse, disease, take
their toll until you may not see
one of us in a dozen square
miles. With it, the populations
of wolves, foxes, coyotes, lynxes
and even horned owls decline.
9. In season, my tasty flesh is
sold in markets; my hair is used
for making felt hats and green
pool-table covering. Indians used
my fur for clothes and blankets.
White man, supposedly much
smarter, uses dyes . to make it
resemble everything it is not:
squirrel, seal, nutria, chinchilla,
muskrat and even leopard.'
10. Would that I could be
called by my right name so
few do. In the fur trade, it is
coney; in nursery tales my
young is a. bunny, it should De
leveret; in the outdoors, it's jack
rabbit perhaps for my long
jackass-like ears, but despite
that, I am correctly called a
hare. Hare do I make myself
clear?

Garbage Workers
Quizzed in Search
For Body of Girl
New York (U.R) Police ques
tioned garbage haulers and trash
disposal workers today in a
search for parts of the dismem
bered body of Jacqueline Smith
who died Christmas Eve at the
hands of an abortionist hired by
her lover.
Chances were slim that any
trace of the pretty, 20-year-old
fabric designer would be found
but the district attorney's office
said the body was not essential
to prosecution of homicide
charges against Thomas G. Dan
iel, 24, the girl's lover, and Leo
Pijuan, 46, the accused abortion
ist. District Attorney Frank
Hogan said Pijuan admitted 'per
forming an unsuccessful Christ
mas Eve abortion on the girl in
Daniel's apartment. Daniel, who
had called the hospital orderly to
perform the illegal operation,
rendered "some little assist
ance," Hogan said.
The girl, who had, been living
with Daniel and was six weeks
pregnant, died during the opera
tion and the panic-stricken pair
cut up her body into small
pieces, wrapping them in gay
Christmas wrapping paper and
distributing them in various
trash baskets, Hogan said.
. The dismembered body prob
ably was consumed by the in
tense flames of the city garbage
disposal plant, authorities said,
but workers were questioned in
the hope one of them may have
seen one of the grisly packages
or that one of the pieces may
have been missed in routine trash
pickups.
Testimony of Docidr
Authorities planned to base
their case on the testimony of a
Mexican doctor, an exchange in
tern at a New York hospital, who
was called to Daniel's apartment
after the girl died during the
operation.
The doctor, Ramiro Morales,
26, tried to revive the girl but
was unable to do so and pro
nounced her dead. Unfamiliar
with local laws he then left and
did not report the case. Morales
was booked as a material wit
ness but was released in police
custody. Police said he was co
operating with their investiga
tion.
Miss Smith, a pretty Lebanon,
Pa., girl who came to New York
to work as a fabric designer,
shared an apartment with two
other girls but had been living
with Daniel for several months,
Hogan said. .
Kidnap-Rapist
Faces Five Counts
. ' Santa Ana, Calif. U.R) Jack
James Walker, 25, who confessed
he twice attacked Donna May
Schurr, 18, Miss California of
1955, today faced five felony
counts of kidnaping, rape and
burglary.
- The Orange County district at
torney's office yesterday charged
the upholsterer with two counts
of kidnaping, two of rape and
one of burglary. Walker confess
ed he attacked Miss Schurr last
March 26 as well as "Tuesday
night, when he was captured by
the beauty's boy-friend, Lloyd
Brett, 21, and officers.
Shapely Miss Schurr, who
placed high in both the Miss
U.S.A. and Miss Universe beauty
contests; identified Walker as her
assailant on both occasions.
Walker is married and the
father of a child as well as ex
pecting a second child. He said
he became obsessed with desire
after seeing bathing suit photo
graphs of the beauty. He said he
had a "yen" for her.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Kenneth.
Williams said Walker was saved
from prosecution under: the
state's "Little Lindbergh" law
which ' carries a possible death
penalty, because he. did not com

Story Naming Killer of Till Boy
Read Into Congressional Record
Washington (U.R) Rep.
Charles C. Diggs Jr. (D-Mich.)
put into today's Congressional
Record a Look magazine article
purporting to show that a Mis
sissippi white man who was
tried and acquitted in the Em
mett Till murder case actually
was the killer of the Chicago
Negro boy.
According to the account as
published 'in Look and put in
the Record, a second man who
was tried and freed in the case
accompanied the killer in rout
ing the Negro boy from his bed
during the night, beating him
with a pistol, and driving him to
the spot at which he was shot
to death and dumped nto the
river.
In remarks published in the
Record, Diggs,. one of three
Negro House members, said of
ihe Look article:
Information From Killers
"The stunning revelations are
so detailed and stated so posi
tively, the magazine's journalis
tic integrity and knowledge of
libel law is so well established,
there is no doubt in my mind
that the information came di
rectly from the killers them
selves, J. W. Milam and Roy
Bryant.
"Safe within the legal con
fines of immunity from another
trial for the same offense pro
vided by the very Constitution
which they and others of their
breed have challenged, these
men apparently grasped at the
opportunity of selling this ex
clusive story for an undoubted
ly handsome financial reward."
The article, written and copy
righted by William Bradford
Huie, pictured Milam as having
fired the shot that killed Till.
The article said Milam and
Bryant originally had intended
only to whip him "and scare
some sense into him" after the
14-year-old Negro boasted he
had"been with white girls be
fore" and asked Bryant's wife,
Carolyn, for a date.
Till, 14-year-old Chicago
Negro, "wolf whistled" at Caro
lyn Bryant and allegedly asked
her for a date in a small grocery
in Money, Miss., last Aug. 24.
Seven days later a body identi
fied as Till's was found in the
Tallahatchie r iv e r, trussed,
weighted, and with a bullet in
the head. .
Mrs. Bryant's husband, Roy,
24, and his half-brother, Milam,
36, were tried and acquitted on
charges of Till's murder. The

two men insisted they had taken
Till away from his great uncle's
home merely to scare him, and
had freed him unharmed.
But in what it described as
the first "real story" of the
case, Look said flatly that
Milam, a 235-pound combat vet
eran, shot Till with a .45 caliber
pistol.
Jackson, Miss. (U.R) J. W
Milam, one of two men acquit
ted of the Emmett Till slaying,
has denied allegations in a Look
magazine article saying that he
killed the Till boy.
- The day the magazine article
appeared, Milam told reporters
he had never talked to any rep
resentative of Look. He said he
plans to "talk to my lawyer"
about filing a libel suit against
the magazine. No action has been
taken yet.
Milam said he knows of no
