Savant Doubts
Atomic Wave
SEATTLE, May 13 UP) A
University of Washington psysi
clst said Saturday he doubted if
a tidal wave would result from
the Bikini atoll atom bomb test,
and hedged his opinion with this
remark:
"Of course you can't hold me
responsible for this prediction.
If I'm wrong I won't be coming
home at all."
(The professor, Joseph E. Hen
derson, director of the univer
sity's applied physics laboratory,
will be a member of the "Opera
tions Crossroads" expedition.)
"We all are taking out extra
hazard insurance," Henderson
said, "but I expect to return from
Bikini alive and I don't expect
to find my waterfront home here
engulfed."
Prof. Henderson said he based
his doubts of a tidal wave result
from the bomb test on a com
parison of the comparative ener
gies involved in the test and in
the recent tidal wave.
He said he believed the bomb
would cause a wave of some
magnitude but that it would fall
off rapidly.
fore had ever hoisted such a
payload to such a height.
The second record was for
weight carried to 2000 meters.
The previous record was 31,162
pounds, set in an experimental
B-19 (forerunner of the B-17s
and the B-29s) by Brig. Gen. C.
V. Haynes.
Last week the PAC record
seeking plane established a new
10,000 kilometer payload-alti-tude
mark by carrying 22.000
pounds to more than 39,000 feet
Col. Beverly Warren of Plain

The record flights are being

conceived by Col. C. S. Irvine,
assistant PAC chief of staff, to
try for all altitude-weight and
speed records in the B-28 class.
