Nuclear Fireball
Visible in Hawaii
Honolulu -HOT- The United
States detonated a nuclear de
vice over Johnston Island ear

a fantastic display in Hawaii
that even members of Joint
Task Force 8 were taken by
surprise.
The shot created a weird
Halloween effect over the
50th state. 800 miles to the
northeast. Witnesses said it
was brighter than the 250-mile-high
megaton blast of
July 8.
The task force, which usu
ally provides a prompt official
announcement on the tests,
took 4(1 minutes to prepare
an explanation. It said the
fireball was not visible in Ha
waii at detonation, but boiled
upward over Johnston after
the blast.

"controlling" news and using

protests from news executives
and complaints of reporters
trying to tell the Cuba story.
The 61 -year -old Pentagon

paperman for ,17 years, said
he had no intention to control,
manage or damp up news "in
a normal situation."
