A-bomb Test
On Warships
Seen Costly
Half Billion Dollars
Worth Of Ships To
Be Blown Up
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25 (IP)
Tho test of the A-bomb versus
tho modern warship stacked up
today as a proposition that will
cost close to a hulf billion dol
lars. If not more.
The exuet amount was Impos
sible to calculate, but navy fig
ures supplied an indication of
what would be involved in the
forthcoming atomic experiment
in mo Racine.
This is what they show:
It cost $2:10,000.000 alone for
the hulls and engines of the 47
U. S. combat units assigned to
the guinea pig fleet.
It cost more than $100,000,000
more for Ibe navy transports
which make up about half of the
47 non-combat types which also
will be targets.
Moreover, navy men have es
timated unofficially that the
operating expenses involved In
staging tho experiment next
spring will run approximately
$100,000,000. The pay of per
sonnel and cost of supplies would
boost that . total.- '
No estimates are avnJItdjltnn
the one Germart'arieTwlcPjapa
ncse warships that will be used
in the test, but all arc of the most
costly types. . .
The hull-ond-englne costs arc
but o port of the total outlay for
tho U. S. warships, but no fig
ures could be obtained on the ex
pense of armament and fittings
that boost the final cost total. On
the other hand, tho ships will be
stripped of much of their guns
and fittings for the tests.
The figures do not take Into
account subsequent expenditures

case of the battleship Nevada
ran more than $7,000,000, ; ex

meat packing plants tomorrow at 12:01 a. m.
Lewis J. Clark, union president, announced the national

In this statement he asserted the government seizure order
was "a complete double cross" and that the government was
"giving the workers a raw deal."
He called on the entire trade union movement and citi
zens for support. .. .
The CIO United Packinghouse Workers is the larger of
two unions whose strike of more than a week has cut heavily
into the union's supplies. The CIO group has 193,000 mem

Clark's announcement read:
"The president of the United
States, in directing the seizure
of the plants has engaged in a
strike-breaking action, the sole
effect of which can be to play
into the hands of the packers.
"The government seizure or
der is a complete double-cross"
because prior to the announce
ment of the seizure this union
had received from high govern
mental officials assurances that
the order would contain provi
sions for making effective in
creases (in wages) that - the
(fact-finding) panel might rec
ommend. Sympathetic
"Under this order of seizure,
the department of agriculture,
notoriously sympathetic to the
packing interests, will operate
the plants.
"This union calls on the en
tire trade union movement and
on groups of citizens every
where to join with them in as
suring that the action suggest
ed here will be made effective.
"The United Packinghouse

and that ST substantial wage in

Body Re-Buried In Manila
Thought To Be Colin Kelly
By WALTER MASON '
MANILA, Jan. 25 A
body re-buried recently in a
Manila cemetery was tentative
ly identified by western Pacific
army headquarters today as that
of Capt. Colin Kelly, America's
first widely publicized air hero
ot World War II.
Headquarters said positive
identification hinges on a check
of dental work and a compari
son of data, including a crudely
drawn map marking the spot of
first interment at Fort Stotzen
berg, long since leyeled by Jap
anese bombs. 1
Officers said a Filipino told
them, that in December, 1941,
he saw the sergeant of a field
crash truck point to one of two
bodies recovered in the crash
of a bomber and say: "Why,
that's Captain Kelly.".
Kelly first was reported to
have (died December 10, 1941,
in diving ort the Japanese bat
tleship Haruna, in . Lingayen
gulf for which he posthumous
ly 1 was- awarded the Congres
sional medal. r : i
Subsequently, h 0 w. e v e r, it
was determined that he flew his
flak-riddled plane one of the
19th"bombardment group back
to within four- miles, of ,Clark
field after ordering the crew 'to
bail out,: One crew member
parachuted, but another uni
dentified here chose to remain
with - Kelly and died when the
plane crashed. y
The two bodies mentioned by
the Filipino, were buried at the
post cemetery in Fort Stotzen
Ijerg December 11, 1941. A map
was made of the burial loca
tion, but dog tags were re
moved from both bodies - by
Filipinos at the crash scene,
headquarters said.
