Atomic Bomb Test Precautions Taken
 For Men Involved

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-"Oper- ation Crossroads" is giving top priority to safety precautions for the 25,000 men who will take part in the atom bomb test at Bikini Atoll.
 Medical officers assigned to the project disclosed today that a staff of approximately 150 service doctors and scientists had been detailed to the task of safeguarding the small army of men who will be in the vicinity of the mid-Pacific A-bomb experiments this spring.
 Of paramount importance is pre- vention of accidents from radio &C., tiyity, produced by the nuclear ex- plosion. Unlike poison gas, a man can't see or smell this lethal pro- duct of the atom bomb-but he can hear" it.
 The safety corps is relying on the Geiger counter and on the know ledge gained from pervious A-bomb explosions. The Geiger county Is a delicate device which, by a ser ies of tell-tale clicking sounds, re- ports the presence of radio activity.

 Canadians eagerly awaited new disclosures concerning the case, in which several strategicalIy-placed government officials are reported in volved.

URYpICkING STILL DELAYS
 MEEk5 TRIAL
Defense Denied Authority 10 Question Witnesses
 for Prosecution

The process of selecting a trial jury to hear the first degree murder charge against George Harrison Meeks is fulfilling all forecasts Of being a long drawn-out affair.
 Thirty-four prospective jurors have so far tenanted the twelve chairs in the jury box, in a parade that commenced Monday afternoon, continued through all of Tuesday and this morning. The end Of the parade was still not in sight at noon today. Up to that time, the de- fense had exercised seven of it's 20 peremptory challenges and had waived one. The prosecution had used up five of it's 10 peremptories. Ten jurors had been excused by the Court for cause.
 However, it did appear likely to- day that a trial jury can be named from the present venire of 63 names.
 At one time yesterday afternoon, it appeared that selection of jury might be close at hand. At that time, the defense waived its sixth peremptory, accepting the trial jury as then constituted. However, the prosecution was not satisfied. The Government still retains the right to challenge any of the 12 jurors now in the box and, to noon to- day, had re-openeds two chairs to defense challenge. Jurors then in the box were: Val A. Poor, Liv Husvik, Ruth Ward Thomas, Joan Talkington, William D. Burfield, c. L. Skuse, Isabel Cashen, Fran ces Worobec, Esther Erbland, Rex G. Hermann, Paul Ecklund and Mrs. J. w. Mckinley.
 Next challenge lay with the de- fense, their ninth peremptory, as to. jurors Hermann and Thomas, both of whom have been qualified for cause.
 Hermann Quissed
 Examination of MT. Hermann oc- cupied the major part of the Court session this morning. He had evil denced inclination to give extra value to the creditability of Drs w. M whitehead and w. P. Blan- ton, whom, it is presumed, will be called as Government witnesses j.. P. OLeary, associate counsel fol the defense, repeatedly rephrasec questions aimed at establishing the juror as prejudiced in. that re- gard and twice he moved to chal- lenge the juror for cause based or that inclination.

 Wallgren's main business, how ever. was to strongly urge an in crease in the price ceilings on lum- her. He maintained that this was necessary in order to increase lum- Der output for the housing pro- gram.
 We are facing serious job crisis in our lumber mills, Harry, " said the Washington Governor.
