the various groups of planes will
rendezvous at their assigned points
As the bomber, Admiral Blandy S
observation plane, the press-radio
observation plane and a photo
graphic plane swing into position,
an Army Photographic formation
will assemble southwest Of the atoll
at $4,000 feet. Air-sea rescue units
will be alerted meanwhile to aid any
aircraft in distress.
73 Planes in Air.
The radio-controlled drones will
hover outside the lagoon, awaiting
the blast their instruments will help
to record.
There will be 73 planes in the air
simultaneously, keeping an intricate
schedule of time and place. Traffic
will reach a peak 80 minutes before
the bomb drop, when radio voice
will warn:
Thirty minutes before bomb deto-
nation; 30 minutes before bomb deto-
nation; stand by. Mark"
Drones will maneuver up to 80, 600
feet; reconnaissance plane crews
will prepare to take up their pursuit
of the vast radioactive cloud, and
the bomber will make three test runs
be{bre the actual drop.
II for any reason the bomb cannot
be dropped on the fourth run there
will be one more trip across the tar
get zone. If the bomb is not dropped
on the fifth run, officers expect the
operation will be postponed until a
later day. No more than five runs
are scheduled.
Once the bomb leaves the g.
miles-high plane, a mother ship will
direct the Armys drones through
and around the cloud mass of the
burst at heights of $4,000, $4,000,
$4,000 and 10000 feet, and then re-
turn them to Eniwetok-if they're
still f1yable.
Navy Planes to Land at Roi.
At the Eniwetok field. no one will
be permitted to approach these
landed drones until it is certain
they are no longer dangerously
radioactive.
The Nays drones will be sent
into the cloud by one mother ship
then taken over by other ships and
led-by radio control, of course-tc

find it once again more profitable
to feed grain to livestock than sell
it to the Government for relief
purposes. Through price adjust
ments, the Government has been
able to maintain a price ratio more
in favor of whole grain.
Chester G.. Davis, chairman OF
the Famine Emergency Committee
reported yesterday that the United
States will meet its 5000, ,0OO- ton
goal of grain for relief feeding early
in July. The exact date next month
when the goal will be attained is
expected shortly from the Agricul-
ture Department, he said.
BY the end of this month we will
have sent 5,723,000 tons of wheat
flour equivalent and corn overseas
he said. The original goal was fo1
100000 tons by June 80.

Mr.. Davis said Herbert Hoover
who met with the committee yester-
day afternoon, believes that the
world relief feeding problem has
been met reasonably well and that
continued efforts will see most
food goals accomplished.

pushed down into a bowl shape after
which two high concentric waves
rolled away. The second was little
lower than the first.
They are high, like great storm

This means they do not rropel

guess that waves of an atomic bomt
would not roll 100 feet high or any
where near that figure The depth
of the inner harbor is less than 90
feet. Much is still shallower. Even
atomic waves should break and
spend their force.

ABOARD U. s. s. APPALACHIAN,
June a Delayed The joint
Army Navy task force disclosed to-
day for the first time the full COM
plexity of its time chart for the sus-
pense-packed atom bomb day at
Bikini July /.
| Despite careful calculation of all
risks and infinite precautions to
protect the 10000 personnel in
volved. the imponderables of atomic
energy will make it day of breath
less suspense and drama.
The complex machinery will begin
to roll at Vice Admiral w. H. p.

test day-if whether forecasts are
favorable.
At that time 40 am. June 80 at
Bikini, 6 p m. June 20, EST. $4,000
Army and Navy personnel will begin
moving out Of the lagoon and 140
ships not part of the anchored target
feet will steam to rendezvous points
outside the danger area.
Late that night, only 296 men will
be left in the lagoon, making last
minute adjustments to instruments
cameras and recording equipment
Patrol vessels will police the anchor
age and shores to make sure all OF
these merf are removed.
=. All ships except the target feet
must be clear Of the lagoon by two
hours before the hour of the bomb
blast-now set tentatively at $50
am. Bkini time $3.50 pm. June 80
EST.
No human being will be left in
Bikini atoll-only test animals on
target ships in the lagoon, a few
birds ashore, and the fish in the sea
The senior member of each last
minute crew is charged with the
safety of his companions. As all
leave the target ship on which they
have been at work, he will hoist 9
red-and-yellow striped pennant-the
all-clear signal.
/ II any man is missing, the all
clear will be hauled down and every
flag aboard the ship run up stimuli
taneously-a veritable Christmas
three of bunting-to halt the test
until he is found.
The working feet will steam up
wind from Bikini, to positions be-
yond the reach of radioactivatec
waters and cloud.
Nearest to the blast will be Ad-
!miral Blandy's flagship, the Mount
Mckinley. and an escorting de-
stroyer, approximately 81a miles
from the lagoon. The Appalachian
press ship for the test, will be
about l8 miles east of the lagoon.
As the ships steam toward safety
Army and Navy air units will swing
into action from Kawa jalein
Eniwetok and Roi, in a great aerial
show.
| Crews will have warmed up desig
mated planes for Photographic and
instrument missions. and patrol
