BIKINI ATOLL.-A visitor to
this Marshall island atoll would
never think that the awesome
atomic bomb soon will let go out

They have put up softball dia-

is a beer garden and a swim

These elaborate prepare
lions are for the relaxation of
hundreds of Navy men and
scientists amid final prepare
lions for the atomic bomb ex-
plosion.
Up above the palms are rear
ing 75-foot steel towers which
will be the eyes gof the Navy
when atomic bombardiers loose
their missile on the fleet of test
ships in the lagoon.
Atop these towers are b4ing
placed automatic cameras to re-
cord the explosion, while under
water $4,000 worth of submar-
inc cameras, are being installed
in pressure cases for operation by
remote control. The lagoon s
clear waters are considered ideal.

in the lagoon fishing-but not
for fun. A crew has caught
10000 pounds of tuna. skip

red snappers and put them on
ice.
These fish will be compared
with any survivors in the warm

with fresh water and supply
ships capable of distilling 10000
gallons daily from the sea, for

France came to disaster, DR.. Ma
has said, because she had thrown
away the basic principles of living
and went on her way without con
VictIonS or responsibility.
The lesson we learned in Eu-
rope is one you can learn from
us. he said 1T is that freedom
is not a gift to be enjoyed com
fortably. but something for which
you must fight and fight daily.
You have great privileges and that
means you also have great respon-
sibility. What you have inherited
from your fathers, if you would
really possess, you must conquer
again for yourselves.
We found during the war in Hol-
land that there are foundations
worth fighting for, and those worth
fighting against" Miss Schokking
told a student convocation audi
ence. The Nazis offered us the
foundations of national socialism to
build upon, but we said no, if there
should never be an end of fighting.
we would not build on that. Now
our youth are exhausted with the
long fight and we look anxiously to
America to see if her youth will
indorse the old policies of power
politics and balance of power or
will work for a world based on
the principles of Christianity"
Choice Must Be Made
DR.. H. C. Klemme, dean Of men
at Montana State college, told a
MissouIa audience that the atomic
bomb has placed us where we must
choose between destruction and the
Bible.
IF we marshal the forces of our
civilization we can include in one
great movement the things in
which we believe" DR.. Klemme
said The potential destruction of
the atom bomb needs not be real
lied; instead atomic energy can be
made to serve us. It eve do that we
shall bring in an era where each
car sit under a fig tree and there
shall be none to make him. afraid
