 Lagoon Grave
Adm. BIdndY Says Under water A-BIast Would
 Kill All Men Aboard
BY HAROLD w. BLAKEsLEE

Associated Press Science Wrtterl
 ABOARD THE USS APPALACH- IAN OFF BIKINI, July 26.-- The 32-720-ton Japanese battleship Ma gato developed an increasing list today, pointing her toward a probable watery grave in Bikini Lagoon to which yesterdays sub marine atomic blast already has consigned the battleship Arkansas and aircraft carrier Saratoga.
 Late this afternoon, hours after Vice Adm. w. H. P Blandy had pronounced the aged but heavy hulled battlewagon in bad shape, her pagoda- like superstructure de- noted an even more precarious slant.
 Admiral Blandy's report on the Nagato was made at a press con- ference in which he said the under water blast probably would have killed all men on the decks of all the target vessels had crews risked their lives in the man-made catas- trophe.
 Personnel Be GonerS
 Tt is probable that personnel on deck would have been goners, if not immediately at least later on, " he said in assessment of the ex- plosion which thus far has shown these results:
 Immediately sank the 26,l00-ton Arkansas; caused the 33,000-ton Sara" to go down nearly eight hours later; so grievously. wounded the Nagato that she began a steady list; caused the destroyer Hughes to start settling in the water, so that she was beached today by a tug; sank the lighter craft includ- ing some submarines and spread SO much radioactivity that A hours later 36 square miles were contam- mated.
 Don Whitehead of the Associat- cd Press, after a flight over the lagoon today, said the bomb had proved it has tremendous destruc- tive force. possibly fatal to ships within a half-mile radius and con siderable power beyond that deadly circle.

Pressing BYrnes for
Probe Of Guerrinas
BY the A..oeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Greek
Premier Constantin Tsaldaris con-
ferred today with Secretary OF State
Byrnes, presumably to press q de-
mand for an international investi-
cation of his charge that neighbor-
ing Albania, Bulgaria and Yugo-
slavia we're sponsoring guerrilla
warfare against the Greek govern
lment.
There was no official announce
ment of the nature of their CONVEX
sation, but Mr.. Tsaldaris made it
clear on his arrival here yesterday
that he was anxious for United
Nations action to halt what he has
termed threat to the peace and
security of the world.
He said in an interview that the
hostilities In Northern Greece al
ready has cost the lives Of thousands
of Greeks.
Accompanied by Envoy.
Mr.. Tsaldaris was accompanied to
Mr.. Byrnes' headquarters by his
Ambassador to the United States,
Cimon P. Diamantopoulos. In addi-
ton to the border disputes, MIR. Dia-
mantopoulos also was prepared to
protest to the secretary and other
members of the Horsepower council
Bulgarian peace treaty decision
which denies Greek claims for
changes in the Bulgarian-Greek
border north of Salonika.
The basis for the objection, Mr..
Tsaldaris told newsmen, is that
Greece never had an adequate hear
ing for her case.
Still third point which had been
expected to enter into many talks
between Mr.. Tsaldaris and Mr..
Byrnes concerns the economic re-
construction of Greece. The Pre-
mier declared that il his country
could really collect her reparations
from Germany, Italy and Bulgaria
it would have much OF the capital
required for rehabilitation.
But, he said, after World War ]
reparations were not paid and If
that happened this time Greece
would require extensive outside aid,
possibly from some such agency as
the international bank. He de-
clared that he was not asking an
American loan.
Mr.. Tsaldaris said his country,
torn by war, needed large sums to
finance reconstruction. but added,
however, that Greece was not SEEK
ing an American loan.
