Aboard the U.SS. Appalachian, oil B1kini, July 25 = CUP) An academic looking young scientist named Marshall Holloway touched trigger at 8:35 A. M. today C5:3 P. M. Wednesday EDT1 and un- leaShed the basic power of the un- iverse to blow the sea into the sky.
 Aboard the ship, some II miles from where the first atomic bomb was exploded under water, We felt a series of water shocks that were invisible as they approached Then we heard dull rumble.
 Column of Water Pierces Dome
 A clear white dome rose with un- believable rapidity from the placid waters in the center of the target ships Instantly breath takingly, a solid column of water arose through the dome and entered the sky in silent majesty.
 A giant column of a million tons Of SeaWater was forced upward by the power almost beyond calcula- tion. It went through and instantly dissipated series of light, natural cumulouS clouds over the lagoon.
 Then the Waterspout, which seem ed at least two miles wide, turned into mushroom-like formation at the height of approximately a mile and half, with the edges turning down in a thunderous rain of death upon the lagoon, target ships and island.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-25

1nlS great, gray ralnstorm ap- peared to be at least five miles in diameter, completely obscuring the ships and island.
 Sees Object Rise and Fall
 Up through this mighty tur- bulence saw a great black smok- ing object rise with the speed of a projectile and come tumbling down the south side of the cloud, end over end, into the sea. It seemed like a major section of a ship.
 The sound of the explosion came to us through the air like the thunder of great guns. This was almost two minutes after we had observed in awe the results of the mighty blast and we had been shaken with shocks through the water.
 The clean white ocean upheavel turned to funeral gray curtain obscuring the entire scene for many minutes. When we started to move oil westward, yielding to the trade winds, We saw the targetships come Into view one by one with only the battleShlp Arkansas missing from her original position. She sank.
 The carrier Saratoga appeared badly hurt and listing
 Capital Ships Accounted For
 These great ships were on op- posite sides of the inner death circle. with the bomb anchored between them. All other capital ships are well as destroyers and transports were still afloat and accounted for.
 Naval officers believed some may sing later because of the longitud- nal bending, violent hull vibration and severe crushing action to which the Water-hammer subjected them.
 The submarine Skate was seen still floating but the fate of six submerged submarines in the lagoon won't be known until manned craft can enter the lagoon.
 The great upheavel was a vaster spectacle in every way than scien- lists had predicted. although whether the lethal results were. as great in proportion remains to be seen.

THE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT WATERBURY CONN., THURSDAY JULY B. 1o46
Opposition to Radio Ordinance CitywidEe
 Proposed Measure Licensing
 Repairmen Basis of Bitter Controversy Meeting at Y.M.C.A Tonight

Opposition to the proposed ordin- ance for licensing radio repairmen grew more widespread today as 30 members of the Radio Manufactur- CTS Service declared themselves in support of the Independent Radio men of Waterbury who first contest ed the proposed measure
 Yesterday officials of the Radio Service Dealers Association of this city, proponents of the ordinance, issued statement declaring the op- position to be aired of doing susi- ness under license"
 Everett LsChance official of the Radio Manufacturers Association said today that legal and technical experts would be brought in to fight the proposal"
 Expects To Be Engaged
 J. Leo Phelan president of the h. dependent Radio Repairmen said that meeting of the members only is scheduled for tonight at the Y.M.C.A. MT. Phelan said that spec ial experts will be hired by us to defeat the arguments in favor of this ordinance Phelan was cited yesterday by R.S.D.A. officials as not having place of business in Waterbury and is not a resident of the city,
 Homer Synott, also a member of the R.M.S.A. charged that the ordl- nance, as proposed was "a racket and a dictatorship being imposed upon Waterbury's radiomen."
 The text of the statement issued by the proponents of the measure. Dean Gould and Laurence Roberge, chairman and assistant chairman respectively is as follows:
 The public has been sadly mis- informed as to the actual facts per- talnlng to the proposed ordinance licensing radio repairmen. The h. dependents Association does not nave 67 members, as claimed. but 20 instead actually operate busi- nesses. The remainder are hobby istS.
 1t does not run true to form when any businessmen hesitate to operate under a license. It is ap- parent these opponents are definite ly afraid of this ordinance. Their reasons for this include the facts the measure calls for sealing of chassis, responsibility for work done

stating that it had been a complete success. Not man of the 10000 who participated in the operation was injured Blandy said.
 Almost overshadoWing the ave- some sight of the bursting bomb was the sinking of the venerable old Saratoga.
 The 39,000 ton carrier built on a super battle cruiser had extraori- narily good experimentation. She had survived two torpedoings and one Kamikaze attack. But the A bomb was too much for her.
 United Press Correspondent Frank H. Bartholomew reported from the Appalachian that she began to sink by the stern at $40 P. M The aft edge of her flight deck went. under water and oil bubbled up amid ships.
 Suddenly her bow rose high in the air and the large figure 8 painted on her flight deck came into view Cascades of aerated water bubbled beneath her bow. Her stern settled to the bottom of the lagoon, the tip of her mast ex- tended at an angle" Bartholomew said.
 Then she quietly died. Down under went the DOW The mast strengthened out and the great Sara was in her grave"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-25

In addition, four LOTS and one LIST which had been beached on the shore of Bikini Island were washed several hundred yards out into the lagoon and an LCM on the beach appeared awash.
 Their fate, and the fate of other ships in the target fleet which al- most certainly also were damaged, depended on how soon salvage crews would be able to re-enter the lagoon.
 Fail to Save Sara
 Blandy tried desperately to save the Saratoga. He sent two tugs in with orders to beach her, but they had to turn back. The grand old Lady" who had survived two torpedoings during the war, rolled over and sank in cloud of steam seven hours and B minutes after the underwater shockwave crushed iter starboard side.
 The 29,0O0 ton Arkansas-oldest battleship in the Navy-apparently went down within matter of min utes. She and the Sara" were about 300 yards from the bomb

when it went off-closest of any of the 87 target vessels.
 Either vaporized or blasted to bits were concrete oil barge, a LIST and the LSM 60 from which the lethal weapon was suspended about 25 feet below the surface of the lagoon.
 Precisely at the predetermined moment Helen" was detonated by radio impulse from the scientific | ship U. s. s. Cumberland Sound. Geyser Goes Up 5000 Feet
 A peach colored geyser of water and white steam erupted from the center of the lagoon, roaring 5000 feet into the cloud-specked sky in few minutes.
 It hung there almost motionless for some 20 seconds Then, like thousand cloudbursts rolled into one, 1t plunged downward, dropping l,0OO,OOO tons of grey-green water and bits of the wreckage of the LSM 50 upon the anchored target fleet with terrific impact.
 A giant cloud of radioactive spray, fog and spume spread slowly over the lagoon.
 The cloud was still visible at sum- set, drifting slowly to the north.
 DrOnes Enter Area
 Yellow drone patrol boats, con- trolled by radio from ships and planes, were sent unnamed into the lagoon three hours after the blast to pick up samples of radio active water and air.
 An unidentified destroyer ventur- ed to within half a mile of the target center several hours after the explosion, but was seen to suddenly reverse her course and speed out to sea again. Her Geiger counters apparently had indicated the radio activity was still too deadly.
 The job of boarding parties and salvage crews was made more haz- ardous by the fact that the Baker bomb subjected most of the ships 10 showers of radioactive rain.
 It upset the predictions of scien- tits in several respects
 l. It produced a thinner and
 less spire-like water spout than
 anticipated.
 2. It produced a stronger air
 blast, indicating that a smaller
 proportion of energy was re-
 tained in the water than scien-
 tlsts had expected.
 3. IL sank fewer ships i'm
 medIately. Unofficial guesses
 were that possibly as many as
 a dozen ships would go down
 under the initial force of the
 explosion.
 Terms Blast Successful,
 But from the flag bridge of his flagshlp the U. S. s. Mt. Mckinley. Admiral Blandy broadcast mes sage few hours after the blast,
