Flash Bomb Fires PremotureIy
Aboard Atom Ship at Bikini

This devastation of a city by wa
ter was one of the first scientific
predictions laid before President
Roosevelt in 1899 when he decided
to back the atomic bomb.
There still is uncertainty. The
very highest wave prediction, by
Admiral Blandy. is 100 feet. But
this means from trough to crest and
a wave that looms only so feet high
as it starts shoreWard from the CEN
ter of the burst.
No Prediction on Width,
Admiral Blandy's figure at 3 miles
from this center is only 10 feet high.
No one here makes a prediction
on how wide this l0-foot wave will
oe. If 1t should be a quarter of a
mile wide, from front to back that
would mean disaster in low areas.
On the bright side of this Frank
enstein monster Is the fact that the
nuclear f1ssion bomb wave is con.
centric. 1t starts in only a small
circle. That may mean not enough
volume of water splashing over
docks and streets to do much dam
age.
Water Column Presents Problem.
More unpredictable, and more
fearful, Is the possible effect of the
expected water column. BY Official
prediction, the explosion will push
a tremendous quantity of water to
one side and right down to the bot
tom of the lagoon.
The water then will rush together
from all sides to fill this hole. The
smack of closing the hole will, by
official predictions. send skyward a
vast volume of water. Extreme pre-
dictions are 2 miles.
1t appears certain that the under
water nuclear fission bomb will
move more water farther and faster
than water has ever moved before.
Another possibility is the con-
version of some water into hydro
gen and oxygen, due to heat, and
the later detonation of this explo-
Sive combination of gases.

or casualties.

vessel which set it off. The exact
cause of this premature flash is not
known at present, Admiral Blandy
said, "but it has no significance with
respect to the actual atomic bomb
since it was operated on the camera
actuating circuit. This circuit does
not have the elaborate safeguards
installed in the bomb firing cir

Admiral Blandy disclosed that a
dummy. nonexplosive depth charge,
which represented the atomic bomb,
was planted underneath the guinea
pig feet for practice purposes today
and emitted a radio sound precisely
at the intended time.
The admiral declared the acci-

Second Death CHARGED
To California Boy, "A,
Who 'FeItLike Killing
By the Assoeioted Press

OROVILLE, Calf, July ia
second death was charged today to
Albert Jones. 14-year-old schoolboy.
who was quoted by one of his alleged
victims of assault as saying, Il just
feel like killing sometimes"
District Attorney J. NJ Mcpherson
filed a murder charge against the
youth yesterday in the death Of Pa
tricia Ann Crandall, Is, and said he
would make it double charge as
q result of the death from bullet
wounds of Mrs. Harold j. Nielsen.
Mrs. Nielsen, a housewife, died in
the Emloe Hospital last night after
Jones previously had been charged
with attempting to murder her.
Mr. Mcpherson quoted the youth as
admitting he shot her in the back
last Tuesday as she turned to get
him some cookies.
The district attorney also said
Jones had confessed strangling the
Crandall girl in her home, setting
fire to the house and walking away
after the flames had begun to burn
her hair.
Jones was accused in other
charges filed yesterday of attempted
murder of Mrs. Neilsen's husband
and assault with intent to murder
their daughter and a neighbor child.
Mr.. Mcpherson said the frail-ap-
pearing accused youth had con-
fessed

through the shirt sleeve of H. J.
Nielsen when he rushed home to
the rescue of his wife, daughter and

Betty Nielsen said Jones told her
before the rescue that he just some
times felt like killing, got "the
urge TO do something like this every
now and then" She said he let her

Insuring Bank Deposits

The General Accounting Offices
report on it's audit of books of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
tion Is in refreshing contrast to it's
findings recently with respect to
some other Government corpora
tions. Instead OF the "lax account
Ing practices" charged to the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, for
example, the Controller Generals
auditing division has only praise for
the FD1C, both as to bookkeeping
methods and financial condition of
the agency.
In fact business is so good with
the FDIC that the Controller sug-
gests that the time has come for the
Treasury to call in the $150,000, 900
which it put up back in 1888 to help
the FDIC get started in its post
bank-crash task of insuring bank
depositors against further financial
crashes-up to $1,000 per depositor.
The Federal auditors say the FDIC,
despite paying out $300000,00O in
claims, loans to merged banks and
the Ike, stands to lose only lis per
cent OF the payments, while at the
same time it has built up a healthy
surplus from bank assessments. AS
result, 1t should be feasible before
long not only to return the Govern
ment's contribution to the corpora
tion's initial capital but also nearly
$140, 100000 subscribed by Federal
Reserve Banks.
Legislation will be required to eff
feet the return of such funds, and
Congress, whose agent the Controller
General Is, undoubtedly will give
careful consideration to his recon-
mendation. Eventually, If the pres
ent flourishing financial state of the
FDIC continues, the business of in
suring bank depositors against such
a disaster as swept the banks in
the early stages of the depression
will attain self-supporting status,
completely independent of Federal
financial aid. The mere existence
OF this sound bulwark should have
a salutary effect in allaying appre-
hension OF small depositors in any
banking crisis which might arise In
the future.
