Merry Go Round
 The W ashing ion
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-It will probably be denied, hut Vice Adm. William H. P. Blandy and several of his top associates are boiling mad at the cancellation of the third atomic bomb test.
 This was the test which the scientists predicted would really show the world the true power of the A-bomb, and which would have shown modern navies to be com pletely obsolete.
 r Unfortunately the reports of the colossal damage done by the first and second bombs were only made public. piecemeal. days after the explosion took place, so that the public never got a clear picture o1 the fantastic destruction caused by the bomb.
 Admiral Blandy and his aides have now made a confidential re- port which shows that more than half the men who would have been aboard the Bikini fleet would have been instantly killed; while more than 50 percent of the sur vivors would have been permanently disabled or died of wounds.
 Test No. 3-underwater-would have been even more horrible That is why men like Blandy who have been doing everything possible to educate the public to the truth about atomic energy are now pretty we'll disgusted. One example of the mistaken conclusions which the public got as a result of bombs No. l and 2 is the case of Pig 311. 7

SOIL CONSERVATION
PLANS APPROVED

Soil Conservation plans were ap-
proved by the Union Board of Sup
ervisors at their regular monthly
meeting, Monday for the farms of
Paul Herd, John ThOrton, Harold
Longbrake, Thurman Skidmore,
Marion Thompson, c. F. Diehl, and
E. E. Rogers.
According to c. c. Phillips, soil
conServationist for the district, the
major changes being made on
these seven farms are a reduction
of row crops and permanent pas
ture acreage with an increase of
rotational pasture which will pro-
vide more feed for livestock. Many
fields will be drained, contoured,
or terraced and the lime and fer
tilizer applications greatly in
creased.
The Board approved requests for
assistance from J. L. Stewart
Giles Mcdaniel, Albert Howard, A
drian Potts, H. J. Ridge, William
Durham, Park Ridge, Glenn Davis,
Fred Clark, Arthur Warner, and
Paul D. Ridge.
A terracing demonstration is be-
ing planned for the farmers of the
county around the middle of Aug
ust. Detailed plans will be an
nounced later, according to Chris
Boerger, chairman.
