 In another birthday message pub-, lshed by Golfers magazine, Shaw said he wasn't worried about whether man would destroy him. self.
 There is really nothing to fuss about" he said, because man will be replaced by a new creation.
 He said he supposed he consid- cred his life worthwhile.
 Otherwise I should have conn., mitted suicide. But I have never had time to go into the matter thoroughly"

 Some of the guests protested that this was inappropriate because Shaw has been vegetarian all his life.

bomb damage to her stern but tenn porary repairs apparently were un- ablefto withstand the atomic blast.
 The destroyer Hughes was on an even keel but deep in the water Blandy ordered crews to tow her to shallow water so that if she sinks, she can be studied by Navy divers,
 The transport Fallon was listing 10 degrees to the starboard while the Nagato, also listing slightly to the starboard, appeared to be lower in the water. An airplane on the forward deck of the transport Cas- condo was smashed, apparently by high wave.
 The submarines Parche and Skate still were on the surface.
 Oil and dirty water found bubbling up from the bottom prompted Blandy to say, Sure as hell some- thing sank there.' It may have been the spot where the gallant Saratoga met her fate.
 Small Boats Beached
 The underwater burst threw some small boats 20 to 30 feet on to Bikini Beach and landing dock was torn and tipped.
 United Press Correspondent Rob- ert Bennyhoff who flew over the target fleet from the air said the twisted and crumpled carrier 1nde- pendence was still floating, still with the same list to starboard she had after undergoing the first atom explosion three weeks ago.
 The cruiser Salt Lake City, her smoke stack still crushed and lurch- ing crazily from the midair blast, was listing slightly to starboard Bennyhoff said.
 "There seems to be an almost complete lack of heavy surface dam age to superstructures and fixtures, he said. Some ships close to the target center have radar, radio masts and antennas and can see very little deck damage anywhere.
 Fleet Ready to Run
 Twenty of the observer ships which stood off from the lagoon a distance of from eight to 15 miles made a quick entrance into the radioactive water about midnight last night.
 Drone monitor ships-with no crews aboard-probed the lagoon for radioactivity and reported the wa ters were safe along the southeast corner of the lagoon That is where the fleet took up its position.
 All ships maintained a good head of steam lest sudden shifts in cur rents bring the dangerous water flowing around the observer fleet.
 Blandy was able yesterday to put small crews ashore on Bikini and Enyu islands to pick up exposed films and records for instrumenta- ton towers.
 No Report on Animals
 Explaining some aspects of the bomb, Blandy said the crushing wa ter was greatest near the bomb, and the Hughes and the Fallon might have been sunk if they had been closer. He said the Arkansas went down faster than the Sara toga because the older ship had less compartments.
 More force from the bomb went into the air than expected" Blandy said
 He added he believed personnel casualties would have been heavy

Bomb Force Spent h Air, Blandy Says

Off Bikini Atoll, July 26.-(UP) Much of the force of the atom bomb blast in Bikini lagoon went into the air, Vice Admiral w. H. F.. Blandy, commander of the test, declared after a quick examination of the blast area today.
 Admiral Blandy is attempting to assess damage to five ships believed to have been seriously affected by the explosion, and to get a con- elusive count on the number of sunk, now set tentatively at Is.
 There was difference of opinion on the amount of damage the bat tleship New York suffered. Some correspondents reported that she appeared undamaged, and believed an upended airplane on her cata- putt appeared to be the only casu- alty.
 Repairs Fail

 "If the pill had become law, in- flation would have been inevitable While the present measure by nc means guarantees that imitation can be avoided, it offers suffi- cient prospects of success to war rant the making of a wholehearted effort to keep our economy on an even keel until flood of goods makes further controls unneces- sary."
 Some prices had jumped sharply during the 25-day free period since OPA died on June 30. Livestock and commodity index prices scared to 26-year record highs. The cattle and hog market became glutted as farmers turned their stock into cash.
 On most other foodstuffs and on most manufactured goods, however retail prices held near OPA levels But increases at producer and wholesale levels foretold certain in- creases for consumers.
 The bill that restored OPA to life was compromise worked out after bitter Congressional controversy.
 It carried numerous restrictions on OPA's powers. A three-man decontrol board was provided, with power to override the price admin istrator.
 Other major provisions of the OPA extension:
 l. OPA is revived until June
 30, 1947.
 2. Rent controls are restored.
 OPA promptly restored the ceil-
 ings of June 30.
 3. Forbids restoration of
 controls on livestock, dairy pro-
 ducts, cottonseed, soybeans, and
 grain until Aug. 20. Then they
 come back automatically unless the decontrol board decrees oth-
 erwise.
