First Atomic Bomb Exploded

New York - ftlPO - Fifteen
years ago the first atomic
bomb exploded near Alamo

a dozen noon-day suns, send
ing chills through its creators,
who feared some fatal mis

experiment of July 18, 1043,
the world slipped unnoticed
Into a new era, at once more

It.
But the anniversary is not
one that pooplc celebrate.
And in the tragic light of
Hiroshima. 00 per cent of
which was obliterated by
atomic power exactly three
weeks later, it is often for

scientists and military men at
Alamogordo worked In a set
ting that approximated dooms

gloomy gray jkles and torren
tial rains swept the desert
flats for nearly a week before
detonation. Flashes of light

up to zero hour, at 8:30 a.m.

In the pouring rain, an Impatient man stood under the marquee
of a Park Avenue hoUl, trying vainly to spot an unoccupied taxi

doorman.
"Keep your shirt on, sir," the doorman told him. "In weather

General Remembers
Brigadier Gen. Thomas F.
Farrcll, deputy chief of the
Wor Department's Manhattan
Project, recalled (hat tension
was almost unbearable for
those who participated In
man's first adventure in tap
ping tho violent core of trie
atom.
"We wore reaching Into the
unknown and did not know
what would come of It," he
explained.
On the night of July 12 the
group of scientists charged
with assembling the bomb was
near panic. The parts had just
arrived from three separate
laboratories across the United
States. Now, as the experts
tried to piece them together,
they found two small sections
that did not seem to fit. But
the Job was finally accom
plished. Hie attempt tc unleash tlie
tremendous energies binding
the nucleus of an atom repre
sented the first practical ap
plication of what Dr. Albert
Einstein had proved on paper
with Ills theory of relativity.

"MS""!-
In less than four years, mobil
izing 125,000 workers and
technicians - all of whom
were in the dark as to what
they were supposed to be ac
complishing. Possible Flisie
Up to the last minute, the
scientists at Alamogordo
spoke about the possibility of
a grand fizzle. Many prayed.
At zero hour in pre-dawn
darkness, the bomb burst and
flowered into a fantastic fire
ball that turned the steel tow
er on which it rested to vapor.
A mountain range hidden five
miles off suddenly was illumi
nated in every detail by a
light which one observer later
described as being "golden,
purple, violet, gray and blue"
at the same time. In an in
stant, however, the range was
blotted from view by a rising
mushroom cloud.
Two soldiers crouching be
hind the nearest observation
post five miles away were
bowled over by the blast. One
observer 50 miles away made
the mistake of not using his
two-inch thick dark, glasses
and went blind.
The shock was felt as an
earthquake in neighboring
Texas and Arizona. Up to 250
miles away falling plaster and
rattling windows touched off
rumors of a Japanese attack.
The phenomena remained un
explained until Aug. 6, when
President Truman first an
nounced to the world Ameri
ca's possession - and use - of
atomic power.
Before the last echoes of
the great explosion had sub
sided, staid, respected scien
tists like Dr. J. Robert Oppcn
hcimer, Dr. Vannevar Bush
and Dr. James Conant leaped
to their feet and embraced
each other.
Hug Crater
The bomb had gouged a
crater a half mile wide in the
desert floor and yet it repre
sented only one-tenth of one
per cent of the energy stored
In an atom.
"It made chills run up my
back," Dr. Donald Leet, Har
vard professor of geophysics,
said of the blast. "I knew what
might happen if it was not
controlled."
Fifteen years later, with the
Alamogordo shot dwarfed by
hydrogen fission-fusion bombs
thousands of times more des
tructive, scientists have no
more doubts that the atom
can be controlled. But they
are not so certain about gov
ernments. Traffic Fatality

"Never in the field of hu

Winston Churchill was Im

The few who saved this

Official records show that
of the 2,000 men who could

UPI President Says U.S.
Must Try To Understand
Thinking of
San Francisco -flJPD- The sit
uation in Japan is more ba
sically stable than recent ex
plosive surface events might
indicate, but America must
come to a more realistic un
derstanding of the thinking of
the Japanese man in the
street. Frank H. Bartholomew,
president and general mana
ger of United Press Interna
tional, said Tuesday.
This understanding of the
average man in Japan is es
sential if the present momem
torily advantageous position
of the West is to be main
tained, he said.
Bartholomew spoke at a
luncheon meeting of the U.S.
Navy San Francisco Bay Area
Supply Corps Association at
Treasure Island.
He recently returned from
an extensive Far East tour,
which included coverage of
the Tokyo riots that led to the
cancellation of President Ei
senhower's visit to Japan.
Both Sides Failed
The UPI executive said
both the Communists and the
West were revealed by last
month's events as having
failed in their respective ob
jectives through inability to
win over the Japanese man in
the street.
The Communists, by ingen
tons application of leverage,
made an all-out effort to gen
crate a civil war that would
have siiDnlnnted the essential
ly conservative government of
Japan with the commissar sys
tem," Bartholomew said.
"The demonstrations were
Dcrfectlv organized and spec
tacular, but they remained
confined to the controlled
groups of left-wing students
and left-wing labor unions.

USAF Announces Expected
Shakeup in
Washington -flJPD- The Air
Force Tuesday announced a
long-expected shakeup in U.S.
air defenses affecting jet fight
er units and radar warning in
stallations in 23 states.
The new design for defense
against air attack emphasizes
smaller forces with superior
aircraft, and calls for consid
erable redeployment of units.
It will take shape over the
next several months.
Recognizing that the chief
military threat to this country
is shifting rapidly from bomb
ers to missiles, the Air Force
blueprint is part of a complete
overhaul of the master air de
fense plan the administration
pushed through Congress in
1959.
The Air Force shifts were
foreshadowed last April when
President Eisenhower re
vamped his defense budget,
then pending in Congress, to
call for more emphasis on bal
listic missiles, satellite warn
ing systems and missile
launching submarines.
Approximately half a bil
lion dollars in defense funds
were shifted to make the shift
possible. They came mostly
out of anti-aircraft missile and
radar budgets.
