The device, dropped from O an airplane "ncwr British owjed Christmas Island about 10 a.m. (PST), was in the low megaton range. This , meant it unleashed the force of at least gne million tons of TNT and perhaps equal to several million tons. The first two shots, set off last Wednesday and Friday near Christmas Island, had the force of between 40,000 and 10.00 tons of TNT.

Infante as a state labor bureau iifcpector and e. is ap parent that "a laxity existed in checking out" Infante's backgnvnd. Infante worked for the Ore gon Iftibor Bureau from 1957 $o 1960. Hatfield said that while Infante's qualifications!. Pewbry said he feels it is appeared to be in igjder, it isUm$orti18' that the publication now known that Infante "did:y Infante be taken off the falsify his biographical infor- list of official documents of mation." Oregon since it cpusine Hatfield also said h? is ask - ing the Oregon Civil Service Commission to make sucn changes in its regulafions "as sgem impropriate." He indicat ed that while security checks on 35,000 applications for work the toUr? number of state employees would be costly, it is important that Bring procedures "be refin ed with respect to policy posi tions." Earlier, Hatfield's legal ad visor, Loren Hicks, indicated that while correct procedure had been followed in the 1957 hiring of Iniante, his probe indicated that such regula tions needed to be strengthen ed. Created Stir Infante caused a controversy among Oregon farmers while with the labor bureau. Some farmers laid he painted a btesed picture of living condi tions of migrant workers. Now in California, Infante entered ghe news a few weeks' ago by dcclarfhg himself .as Marcanlonio Diaz - Infante, Mexican revolutionary leader. As to whether Infante should have been hired by the state, and the circumstances as to how he came to be an- lroved, Hatfield said a con clusion is impossible. . Hatfield said the state civil service director at the time was part of the previous ad ministrttion. The present civil service staff indicates that Infante "first was introduced to them by the Bureau of Labor," Hatfield said, but State Labor Commissioner Norman Nilsen "indicates the contrary was the case."
