Big A-Bomb
Detonated
ATOMIC TEST SITE. New (AP)
The biggest underground atom
ic explosion ever touched off by
the United States blasted up
through the top of a mesa today
and shot a column of dirt more
than 1,000 feet into the air.
The shot rocked the ground
where newsmen were stationed
4'j miles away and shook large
boulders off the edge of the.mesa
The completion of this test in a
tunnel left just one more to go
today before the test deadline set
by President Eisenhower at mid
night tonight. -
Actually the deadline will be 4
p.m. here because that will ne
midnight. Greenwich lime. How
long the ban remains in effect de
iicnds on the outcome of talks be
twecn the United Slates, Britain
and the Soviet Union.
The underground e x p 1 o s ion
Blanca. was touched off in a tun
nel that was dug 2.600 feet into
the side of a mound and under a
mesa.
The great column of dirt that
spewed up, probably 500 feet thick,
began subsiding five minutes later
and drifting away.
This explosion was rated as hav
ing the force of 20,000 tons of TNT,
the same power as the atomic
bombs dropped on Japan in World
War II. This force is equal to that
of a 40-car trainload of TNT.
Windun of testing brought sad
ncss to Atomic Energy Commis
sion scientists and officials.
Col. Ernest Tinson, technical
director of Defense Department
participation in atomic tests, said:
"Lots of us who have been in it
a long time sure hate to see today

Snow Flurries
Hit Nation
United Press International
Snow flurries were occurring
more frequently over the nation
to give many points a foretaste
of winter, but rain with five inch
es in Texas continued in the
weather picture.
The Lone Star state also had
a touch of snow Wednesday. Cold
air whipped chilling rain across
the gulf coast from Florida to
Texas, culminating in five-inch
downpour in the south central
part of the stale.
The heavy rains caused many
roads to be Impassable and au
thonties at Poth, Tex., canceled
classes for the day.
As fresh flurries of snow pelted
the Rockies Wednesday, search
ers came across the bodies of
two teen-age Minnesota youths
missing for more than a week
near the Wyoming-Montana bor
der. One of the hoys apparently
killed himself alter watching his
companion freeze to death.
The heaviest snow in the west
ern portion of the nation late
Wednesday was at Colorado
Springs, Colo., where one Inch
fell.

Income Tax Refund Claims
Deadline Set November 3
Teachers and other eligible tax
payers have until Monday, Novem
ber 3, to file federal income lax re
fund claims for deductible educa
tional expenditures made in 1954.
Ralph C. Granquist, district di
rector of the Internal Revenue
Service lor Oregon, said the No
vember 3 deadline results from the
additional 60-day filing period pro
vided by Public Law 85-866 enacted
September 2.
Granquist explained that on April
5. liberalized regulations concern
ing the deduction of expenditures
for education,, which apply to
1054 and later years, were issued.
However, at that time, the last
day for filing a claim for the year
1054 was April 15, 1058.
Because of the short period be
tween issuance of the new regula
tions and the then April 15 dead
line, many taxpayers were unable
to file their 1954 claims on time.
Under the new law. taxpayers
now have until November 3 to file
a refund claim on Form 843 or an
amended return on Form 1040 for
the year 1954 in order to obtain a
tax refund based on deductible ex
penses for education, Granquist

set out at about 5 a. m. As the
boat hit the breakers, it capsized
near the end of the south jetty.
It had no lights and there was
no immediate alarm sounded.
Then at 7 a. m.. Mrs. Richard

the Coast Guard, reporting that,
Miss Heikkila. near a slate of.
shock, had just walked to her
house reporting a capsizing.

the south jetty.
Ten minutes later, John a. wnes

reported that he had pulled a gin
ashore and had left her near

Coastcuardmen who had reach
ed the vicinity in the car, hurried

Cathers said that the Dewing
and Wiles houses are a quarter
