A Colgate University geologist said
today Bog bombings of the Tokyo
area may have caused Thursday
earthquake and tidal waves in
Japan.
Dr.. Harold o Whitnall maintain

near japanese volcanoes "should
produce not only cataclysmic erup-
tons but also earthquakes and IT,

Tokyo in April, 1912, Mt. Asama
erupted. In March, 1943, after our
flyers had given the surrounding
area a terrific pounding, Mt. We

and tidal waves of the type I said
could be produced by bombing
have occurred after repeated at
tacks on Japan. Such chain of
condolences seems at least strong
circumstantial evidence"

greatest earthquake center in the
world, the geologist expressed the
