Truman Order Delaying Tests
OF A. Bomb Pleases Scientists
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor

NEW YORK, March 23.-P-
President Humans order delay
ing the Nays atom bomb tests fits
with the wishes of some of the
atomic scientists, who have been
quietly but sharply critical of the
original timing as being prema-
ture.
These scientists think there was
not sufficient time for thorough
preparation, before the original
dates, of instruments and disposals
to insure complete information as
to naval risks.
These scientists also believe
Naval damage from an atomic
bomb is in a different class from
the devastation to cities. They
think the Naval damage will be
less, perhaps much less, and that
the public will get the idea that
atomic bombs are not so bad.
At least a few of the atomic
scientists also believe that the
Navy had not received enough ear
ly information from the Army
about what was discovered in the
New Mexico atomic bomb explos-
ion last summer. instruments there
recorded much information that is
a military secret among the SCENT
lists who have been leading the
atomic work. 1t Is said that when
the Navy went to the Army, some
information about these tests was
ordered to be held out.
According to this report, scient-
lists were told what information
they could give the Navy and also
that some details were not to be
given. This happened weeks ago,
early in the planning. 1t is a fur"
Their example Of scientists reasons
for believing in delay Of the Navy
tests.
Who may have given instructions
to hold back some details is not re-
vea1ed. Maj. Gen. Leslie Groves,
as head of the Manhattan Engineer
district, has often been blamed for
all secrecy restrictions, but his
critics have failed to note that he
and his staff have acted under
an order issued by President Tru-
man, last July, to give out no fur
ther information. This order was
brief and sweeping.
