Two Ma rine Corps battalions got their first taste of atomic fire Thursday from a brilliant A-bomb bursting low over Yucca Flat. The bomb produced the most sus tained fire ball seen by observers In a Nevada daylight explosion somewhere from 10 to 12 seconds. The explosion, however, ap peared to be unusually concentrat ed and did not produce 'a cloud as spectacular or high as several previous blasts. The 2.150 Marines, dug in in fox holes and trenches less than lour miles from Ground Zero the tar itet area, came through their test uninjured, preliminary reports in dicated. The bomb was detonated about 2,000 feet above the flat. It was released by an Air Force B-50 from Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque. N.M., from an eleva tion of perhaps 30.000 feet. The Marines were in the same positions, occupied by Army troops last week, but with the burst some 1.500 feet lower they undoubtedly felt more heat. They also received a good Jolt. Observers on Mt. Charleston, 50 miles away, received a sound wave and an ecno minutes auer ure blast, but no perceptible shock. The impact of the bonm on Ground Zero raised, a dust column which joined the nuclear cioua within 30 seconds in sharp con trast to last week's high level de tonation where the cloud bung iso lated for minutes.
