A. Bombinq Cool toGems Not Simple

Washburn, Wis, June 01-(UPl An amateur physicist suggested today that the Navy fill its target ships at Bikini Atoll with coal which would be turned Into dia- monds" when the atomic bomb ex- plodes.
 Every scl1oolboy knows that you can make diamonds by Subjectine carbon to tremendous heat an6 pressure" II. Theodore Palm said Diamonds and coal are both car- bon"
 He believed thar by adopting his suggestion the Navy could finance tine atomdc test and ease tine tax payers burden. He also suggested that somebody drop an atomic bomb into 8 coal mine.
 At Chicago, scientists attending meeting of the American Physical Society, said 1t was not 30 simple.
 "The only trouble is that dia- n1ords don't float" Dr. Eugene P. Wigner, Princeton University phy- iciSt, said
 Dr. Norman Bowen, University of Chicago authority on rock for nbation. Said 1t would have mo ef- feet whatsoever except to scatter the coal around"
 The theory Is that by exerting great heat and pressure on coal it could be converted to diamonds" he said. The atomic bomb would pro- vide enough pressure for g. split second. According to the theory 1t would take at least @ minute of concentrated pressure. And nobody has ever proved the theory"

AIdermonic Committee Plea
 DeelsIon Pending
 On New eonValoseent
 Nome

A str0ng plea was made last night before an a1dermanic committee for permission to operate a convalescent home at 134 Hillside Avenue, the old w. D. Makepeace homestead. The plea was entered in the form of a petition of Martin and Gladys Rodman of the Three Oaks Conva- lescent Home, Platts Mills.
 Attorney Edward Sweeney, repre- senting the Rodmans, asked that permission be granted pointing out that the character of the home would be that of g residence for old people. No mental cases, contagious cases or others would be entered, he said.
 Referring to the City Plan Com missions recent rejection of the proposed home, Atty. Sweeney said that 1t would not depreciate the neighbo bortood.
 There will be no alterations made to the exterior of the house and it's construction has already been ap- proved by fire and health authori- ties as potential home. Hillside Avenue has already depreciated as a residential area" he continued, with business encroaching all the time" He pointed out that assess ments in that area had been re- duced 50 percent.
 A petition to change land at Hope and Walnut streets from Residential Zone B to Business Zone No. l was presented by Salvatore Santa Maria on behalf of his mother, Mrs. Mary D. Santa Maria. The change is sought so that g grocery store may be operated at POT Walnut Street extension.
 L. T. Scott-Smith, city plan en- gineer, appeared to back a request from the City Plan Commission to change land between Walton Ave- 'nue and Steeles Brook adjoining the Bunker Hill neighborhood from an industrial zone to Residential Zone B. The area covers from Tompkir1s Street on the south to 8 point 700 feet north of the north line of Madeline Avenue.
 Chairman at last nights meet ing was Alderman Henry Minicuc- ct (D. Other members included Aldermen Burton H. Walker (R), Edward P. Rafferty CD, Richard D. Bensen (R) and Edward L. Lasky (D).
 The committee will report to the next meeting of the Board of Alder men.

 Last Al Bomb
 Rehearsal

Kwajalein, June 21-(UP)-Task Force One and its complement of 42yOO0 men prepared for their final full-dress rehearsal Of the first atomic bomb test.
 On next Sunday, a fac-simile bomb with on-atonic charge will burst over the battleship Nevada, aiming point of the target fleet ar- rayed in Biki1i lagoon. Almost 70 planes then will perform photo graphic, recording end other func- tions assigned them in the real test scheduled for July 1.
 Meanwhile, the crew of the B-20 Super fortress "Dave'S Dream sought to perfect its technique by which the deadly bomb will be ex- ploded Squarely above the Nevada.
 As leaders of the task force looked on yesterday, Bombardier Major Harold Wood, aimed @ dummy bomb almost precisely above the spot se- lected for the actual explosion. The bomb was dropped within five sec onds of the scheduled time and came at least within two yards of it's range, the outside margin of er- TOT allowable, experts said.
 Today's mission was the next to the last practice flight using all AAF planes which will participate in both the air dropped and sur- faced atomic bomb tests. The crew of the "Dave's Dream" however, will continue it's practice runs every three or four days just to keep their hand in."
 On Saturday, the task force. fleet of 12O support, control, laboratory and observation ships, as well as all personnel aboard target craft and on island atolls, will be removed to safety in the open sea 10 to 20 miles from the target center.
