PEARL HARBOR, May 17 W) Rear Adm. Thorvald Solberg, ship design expert, foresee a possibility that tremendous atomic-bomb blast pressure may crumple the target battleship Nevada like a tin can and thrust her down into the lagoon at Bikini in the Marshalls. Solberg, director of ship pre parations in the tost, told report ers today that so many factors were Involved it was difficult to make predictions. For one thing, he noted, the atomic blast high above is expected to thrust equally against all parts of the ship's structure, rather than in a single spot like a standard ex plosion.

Lewi were "standing by" in Washington, awaiting a possible new move by President Tru man, White House Press Secre tary Charles G. Ross told a news conference there was i nothing new in the deadlocked coal negotiations. Although the . rail dispute held top priority on the presi dent's schedule today, there was speculation he might order seiz ure of the coal mines at expira tion of the current two weeks' truce period May 25. The sessions by John L. Lewis, president of the AFL United Mine Workers with the bituminous operators ended ab ruptly on Lewis' demand for a 7 per cent payroll levy to fi nance a miners' health and wel fare fund. Later Lewis and the operators rejected Mr. Truman's proposal that they submit their dispute to binding arbitration. A White House spokesman, however, said Mr. Truman had not abandoned hope for settle ment of the contract dispute which for 42 days kept idle 400,000 miners. As most of the strikers were back to work un der a two-week truce which ends. May 23, there appeared no solution and there was spec ulation that federal seizure of the mines some time next week was the most likely step. - Eventful Days For Area High Graduates This week and on through the first week in June is an event' ful time for students of the cnnntu liiah uikutl, nf lha Klamath area.
