Radio Listeners In United States
May Hear Atomic Blast AT
Bikini Before Men On Ships Nearby

BIK!iII, June 20-Dr. John III.
Yoe, professor of chemistry at the
University of Virginia, declared
today that people in the U. S.
tuned in on their radios will hear
the explosion of the atomic bomb
dropping in the forthcoming BIZ
kini test Is or 20 seconds before
it hits the ears of those aboard
ships 18 or 20 miles from the
scene.
DR.. Yoe said the reason for this
is that radio waves travel much
faster than sound waves. Radio
waves travel at the speed of light.
DR.. Yoe, whose home is Char
lottesville, Va, is one of the 81
civilian scientists aboard the Pana-
mine-one of the ships which will
be near the scene when the atomic
bomb is dropped on a group of
naval vessels off Bikini Atoll in
July.
Not only DR.. Yoe but every other
scientist aboard this ship agrees
that many unique and unknown
features will occur during the un-
precedented operation.
Three Microphones
Three micropnones-to pick up
the blast instantaneously-will be
placed in closeup positions aboard
ships. One microphone will be close
to the bulls-eye, another some dis
tance away and the third still far
ther off.
DR.. Yoe said it is conceivable that
when the army plane drops the
bomb the blast will be of such force
it will knock out all three micro
phones and all the observers at the
scene will hear will be click. If
that happens, the people in the u.
S. will not get the instantaneous
sound of the blast.
The total number of target ships,
loaded with livestock, that will be
anchored in the blast area is ap-
100. The livestock,
human beings and placed
at battle stations, will be the ''gui-
nea pigs" in the test.
724 Ships In Test
The number of operating ships in
the area will total about 124.
DR.. Yoe said he does not antici-
pate any real personal danger to
and others on the outlying
ships. Like everyone else eye-wit-
Messing the event, DR.. Yoe will wear
black protective goggles to protect
the eyes.
Commenting on the immediate
effect of the explosion, DR.. Yoe said
that in less than one millionth of a
second there would be generated
many millions of degrees in tenn
perature and many millions of at
of pressure.
There will be a binding flash and
a pail of vapor will rise skyward

18th.

June 18th.
Senator Mcfarland first discussed
the question of terminal leave pay
Tor enlisted men. He stated he had
introduced legislation in the Senate
over a year ago giving enlisted men
terminal leave pay. The House of
Representative has already adopted
a similar bill. The Senator stated
that in his opinion there was no
justification for giving terminal
leave pay to officers and not to en-
listed men.
The major portion of the Sena-
tors address was devoted to the
problem of the disabled veteran,
whom, said Senator Mcfarland, no
payment can adequately compensate
for the service rendered to the ma
ton.
Some of u.s." the Senator stated,
''have fought for the most complete
disqualification program that money
can buy. In my own state of Ari-
zona, a haven for many veterans
who seek. its healthful climate, we
have secured construction of some
facilities and more are in prospect. -
The Senator further stated that
much remains to be done He point
ed out that in spite of the progress
made the veteran was faced with
difficult problems.
costs of living have risen about
35 percent in the last two years.
The pensions given to disabled SOL
diers and their dependents have not
been increased and this income is
wholly inadequate for a decent liv-
ing Under existing legislation, a
veteran totally disabled who may
have lost both his arms and legs
defending his country gets a pension
of $115 a month A widow of vet
eran who has children may receive
a maximum of 500 a month.
"These people have been caught
between the millstones of fixed in
comes and increased costs of living
resulting in hardship and difficulty
for veterans and their families.
In my opinion said Senator
Mcfarland, "the American people
are permitting a grave injustice to
be perpetrated on these people,
He pointed out that to assist the
veteran in meeting the increased
costs of living he had recently in
troduced a bill to raise the pensions
and retirement pay of veterans by
20 percent. This legislation, ac-
cording to the Senator, is now pend
ing in Congress.
The bill, S. 1921, was introduced
at the specific request of The
American Legion, The Veterans of
Foreign Wars and the Disabled
American Veterans.
In discussing this bill in his radio
address, Senator Mcfarland said,
IT do not know whether we shall be
able to secure enactment of this de-
sirable legislation before the Con-
gress recesses, but do know that if
the American people realize the
problem and the injustice, they will
see to it that justice and equity shall
be done to the widows and orphans
of the men who gave their lives in
this war and to those men who re-
turned manned in mind or BODY
