Maybe, Maybe Not

Some persons declare without equivo-
cation that the submarine earthquake
in the Aleutians which started the tida
waves that did such damage at Hilc
and even spread exceptionally high
water as far south on our own Pacific
Coast as Santa Barbara, California,
was the direct result of the atomic
bomb exploded over Hiroshima.
Scientists are silent on the subject
and it is possible that the persons who
connect the two events are to be CLASH
fled among the excitable of the world
who invariably trace natures unusual
manifestations to some inexplicable
cause.
Still it is interesting to consider, in
event they have the truth of the mat
ter, what the result of the Bikini ex-
pertinent is liable to be, the more SO
because the Hiroshima atomic bomb
was the smallest possible and the BIZ
KIM bombs are probably much more
powerful. Furthermore, there was but
one used at Hiroshima and it is intend
ed to discharge a salvo at Bikini.
Maybe there'll be no Pacific ocean
at all afterwards, or by way of con-
trast, new continent.
