UNO Sets Up Atom Commission;
Navy Planning Bomb Test in May
On 97VesseIs in Marsha||s AtoI|
Target Fleet Will.
Include Nogoto
And Prinz Eugen
BY the Associated Press.


The Navy raised the curtain
today on its plans for testing
the atomic bomb against a great
armada of fighting ships-an
experiment expected to revolu-
tionize sea warfare.
A guinea pig fleet Of 81 vessels
ranging from carriers and battle
ships to submarines and transports
will be the atomic target in the vast
operation to start in May.
The laboratory selected is the an
chorage of Bikini Atoll, one of the
northernmost of the Marshall Is
lands which were wrested from
Japan by amphibious assault two
years ago.
Details of Experiment.
Vice Admiral w. H. P. Blandy
head of the Navy's Division on Spe-
cial Weapons. gave the Senate
Atomic Energy Committee these de-
tails of the epochal experiment
known by the codeword Operation
Crossroads:
l. In the target fleet will be sc
operating ships-2 aircraft carriers
4 battleships, cruisers, 16 destroy
ers, 8 submarines and Is transports
from United States Fleets; the Ger
man heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, the
Japanese battleship, Nagato and a
japanese light cruiser, and AZ other
craft such as landing ships.
2. The undertaking "is not a COM
bined or international operation, but
rather scientific experiment by the
United States Government alone. F"
The question Of permitting foreign
observers has not yet been decided.
8. The unnamed target ships will
be anchored and placed in a manner
calculated to give effects varying
from probable destruction to negli-
gible damage" in each type.
4. The first test, early in May,
calls for decorating an atomic bomb
at an altitude of several hundred
feet above the target vessels. A
second test, tentatively set for July
l, will be an atomic burst at the
waters surface in the target area.
5. A deep-water test in the open
sea Is planned later, but technical
dimculties preclude its coming of
this year.

by the Associated Press.
Bikini Atoll, the site picked
for the atomic bomb test on
naval vessels, is long way from
almost anywhere.
1t lies ITO miles from the
Marshall Islands of Eniwetok
and Kwajalein, which most
people never heard of until they
became scenes of battle in the
Pacific campaign against the
japanese.
The coral atoll is 211a miles
long and consists of more than
a score of tiny islands. The ma
tive dwellers number only 16l.
The Navy announcement of the
bomb test said adequate meas
ures" would be taken to insure
their safety.

Of South America
Py the Associated Press

Ry the Associated Press.
President Truman today an
nounced appointment of Gen
Carl A. Spaatz to be chief of the
Army Air Forces, succeeding
Gen. Henry H. (Hap) Arnold.
The President told his news con-
ference that Gen. Arnold will retire
on his return from his current South
American tour and that Gen. Spaatz
will take over his assignment.
Gen. Arnold wanted to retire
sometime between February / and
February Is, the President said, but
he added that he did not know the
exact effective date at this time.
Gen. Spaatz, a native of Boyer
town, Pa, is 54.
He entered Army aviation in 1915,
year after his graduation from
West Point, and after service in the
World War held numerous posts in
Army air establishments in this
country.

tific techniques.
Saratoga Included.
Admiral Blandy, who has been
named commander for the entire
test by the joint chiefs of staff,
revealed that some of the best
known units of the United States
fleet had been marked for target
vessels They include:
The Saratoga, Oldest American
carrier afloat which carried the
fight from Guadalcanal to Jap home
water; the cruiser Salt Lake CITY.
the one-ship fleet" of Solomons
fame; the battleships Pennsylvania
and Nevada, two Pearl Harbor VIC
Tins that came back from near de-
structiof to slug out the rest of
the war; the Arkansas, Oldest bat
tlewagon in the Navy, and the New
York, veteran of action from North
Africa to Okinawa. The light car
rier Independence also will be a
target.
In addition to the 81, ,72o-ton bat
tleship 'Nagato, flagship of Admiral
Yamamoto at the wars outbreak,
Japan's entry will include the 5000
ton light cruiser Sakawa. The
Nagato was damaged in the closing
phases of the Battle of Leyte Gulf
in October, 1914, and again in July
1915, when a carrier strike caught
her in japanese home waters where
she later was captured.
The 10,000-ton Prinz Eugen has
just arrived in Boston from Europe
This heavy cruiser was accompany
ing the German battleship Bismarck
when a British force caught up
with and sank the Bismarck.
Training Also a Purpose.
In his statement prepared for the
Atomic Committee, Admiral Blandy
described the purpose of the exper-
iment as primarily to determine
the effects of the atomic bomb upon
naval vessels in order to gain in
formation of value to the national
defense. The ultimate results of
the tests so far as the Navy is con-
cerned will be their translation into
terms OF United States seapower.
Secondary purposes are to afford
training for Army Air Forces per-
sonnel in attack with atomic bomb
against ships and to determine the
effect of the atomic bomb upon mill
tary installations and equipment"
Elaborate arrangements have been
mapped. Admiral Blandy said, to OBJ
tain the maximum data on the re-
suits OF the test.

Administration Poll
Forecasts Defeat Of
Gag Rule on FEPC
Need Still Planning
To Present CIoture
Petition to Senate
Ey the Associated Press.


A poll by administration aides
showed today the Senate will re-
fuse to break the week-old FEPC
filibuster by applying it's So
called gag rule"
Nevertheless, Senator Mead,
Democrat, of New York said an ef-
fort will be made to present cloture
or debate-limiting petition today.
He conceded the vote would be close.
Results of the poll, disclosed to a
reporter, showed more than So"
Senators lined up against any step
to force an end to the debate which
has gone on and on since the meas
ure to set up a permanent Fair En-
ployment Practice Commission was
called up Unexpectedly a week ago.
Four or five other Senators were
counted as probably opposed" to
cloture.
Application of the seldom Used
rule requires two-thirds ma jority
OF those voting. Thus SO mo" votes
would suffice to prevent adoption of
the rule even if all 96 members were
present.
However, four Senators are out of
the country, and several others are
i'll or away from the Capital. Sena-
tor Mead told newsmen his side
needs 60 votes to assure victory, and
that he had counted about so favor
ing the bill.
Only is Senators need sign the
cloture petition, and there was no
doubt that number could be OBJ
tanned with ease. The question of
closing debate would be voted on
two days after presentation of the
petition.
II the gag rule" were adopted,
no Senator could speak more than
one hour in all on the pending bill
There was considerable doubt,
however, whether a cloture petition
would be in order under the present
parliamentary situation. The South
ern f1libuster technically is grounded
not on the FEPC bill itself, but on
series of motions to correct the
journal of last Thursdays proceed

The first of those motions was
tabled yesterday. It called for in

But Senators Eastland, Democrat,
of Mississippi and Maybank, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina were not
dismayed. They told newsmen there
are lots of other changes that ought
to be considered-all at great length.
Senator Eastland thought the cur
