One scientist said the explos ion was comparable to the unex pectedly powerful H-bomb blast in the U. S. proving grounds two years ago, and "bigger than the Soviet tests last year." The shot, by Japanese count, is the eighth in the series which began in the Eniwetok-Bikini "laboratory" on May 5. The United States has announced only two, including one dropped from a plane.

Yukio Kawabata, chief of the barometrical observation section, said: "We don't know the exact power of the explosion, but in energy there is no doubt it is the largest this year. "It is bigger than the Soviet tests last year," he said. "The only test comparable with it is the March 1 explosion two years ago. The blast this time may have released more energy than that bomb." The powerful H-bomb blast near Bikini in March, 1954, when the Japanese tuna boat Fortunate Dragon was atom dusted, recorded a maximum os cillation on barographs at 0.5 millibars, according to Shoji Ota, chief observer at the Tokyo me teorological station.

Back Stairs: Ike Having Lawn Trouble By DONALD J. GONZALES United Press Correspondent Gettysburg (U.R) Back stairs and the Gettysburg White House: President Eisenhower is hav ing trouble with the lawn at his new guest house located near the main gate to the farm. Recent heavy rains have been good for the President's corn, wheat and pastures. But it has been 'washing away newly-laid sod at the guest house. Whole sections of it have slid down to the road, showing the underly ing red earth and rocks. The guest house, by the way, is no patchwork job, even though it formerly was the old Pitzer school. Newsmen figure it would be in the $22,000 and up class in suburban Washington. Under careful planning, the school house has been extended by 10 feet and made into a most attractive three - dormer resi dence. It has a breezeway linked to a garage, three red brick chimneys, a yard light, shrub bery and all the trimmings. The stone foundation and brick upper structure are painted white. The shutters are green. The Eisenhowers had some "fireworks" on July 4 after all despite White House Press Sec retary James C. Hagerty's state ment to the contrary. Mary Jane McCaffree, Mrs. Eisenhower's secretary, went to the dime store ahead of time. With crepe paper and other pur chases she put together an attrac tive "sky-rocket" center piece for the Eisenhower's holiday ta ble. When it "exploded," the grandchildren found it filled with strings of lollypops. Air Force Gen. Nathan F. Twining was "planeless" when he visited the President the oth er day. He couldn't fly up from Wash ington because the weather was too bad. Instead, he rode in a limousine with Defense Secre tary Charles E. Wilson, Air Sec retary Donald A. Quarles and Adm. Arthur W. Radford. Wil son, Quarles and Radford got the plush, easy-riding seats for the two-hour trip to the farm; Twining the hard jump seat. "And the poor guy just came all the way from Moscow," one newsman remarked. Gary, Ind.

Walter (D-Pa.) said today his House Committee on Un-American Activities won't block the planned European honeymoon of playwright Ar thur Miller and his new bride, Marilyn Monroe. The committee voted unani mously Tuesday to cite Miller for contempt of Congress for re fusing to identify alleged Com munist writers he once knew. But Walter said the action will not keep Miller and Miss Mon roe from sailing for England Friday the 13th for a delayed honeymoon. Miss Miller will make a movie in England with British film star Sir Laurence Olivier. Miller only recently received a six-month passport from the State Department for the trip with his new bride. The House was expected to approve the contempt citation. The next step would be for the Justice Department to make a final decision on whether to prosecute. Conviction carries a maximum penalty of $1,000 fine and a year in jail on each count. (? ') I & 1 1 : n If you want excit ing swim wear . . .
