ATOMIC BLAST CRIPPLED 9TH TARGET FLEET
Tougher Ship HulIs Fore seen-AIreddy Prepping
 for Deep Sea Burst


 BIKINI, July 29.-Work on test Charlie" when an atom bomb will be detonated far down in the deep sea, already is starting, Vice Adm. w. H. P. Blandy said today as he awaited damage reports from a target fleet still dangerously radio active after Thursdays shallow blast.
 Seahees have been assigned to prepare the deep-sea mooring lines for next springs tentatively plan ned deen-water burst.
 The deadly X-Rays barred close inspection of inner-circle ships in the Lagoon again tcday-more than five days after the harbor-depth explosion. But live animals have been found on at least tive ships on the outer circle.
 War Crews Would Risk
 If it had been a wartime blast, Admiral Blandy explained, crew. men would have faced these radio active risks to save their ships and lives of the injured.
 He could give no estimate of the cost of such heroism.
 The Admiral said only that it may be week before it is safe to go back aboard some of the ships. The incomplete, tentative damage toll meanwhile rose to 16. Latest addition was the submarine Den tuda, beached with her forward torpedo room flooded.
 AS a result of these tests, atom powered warships with hulls tough ened to withstand such bomb blasts may be constructed within five years, predicted Capt. Edward L. Cochran, construction chief of the Naval Bureau of Ships.
 Atomic Power Ideas
 Capt. Logan Mckee of the same bureau, added that we have lot of ideas on atomic-powered sub marines. Neither he nor Cochrane went into detail.
 The latest box score of the shall low-depth bomb test showed:
 Sunk: battleship Arkansas, car rier Saratoga, and yard oiler.
 Destroyed: landing ship from which the bomb was hung.
 Damaged: battleship Pennsylva- mia, Japanese battleship Nagato, cruisers salt Lake City and Pensa- cola, transport Fallon, destroyer Hughes, one landing craft, the sub marine Dentuda and four others which early observations indicated had gone to the bottom: the Aro- gon, Skipjack, Sesraven and Pilot fish.
 Thus, the single blast cripped a fifth of the 75 target vessels.

leo 0sierrlan Winner,
 Soap Box Derby Classic
 Staged Here on Sunda;

Led Virginia Flyer" Osterman, l4-year-old Juneau boy, whizzed down the 1850 feet of Twelfth Street Hill yesterday in 43 sec onds to become the winner of the annual Soap Box Derby sponsored by the Daily Alaska Empire and the Juneau Rotary Club. Leo, who wins the trip to Akron, Ohio, to compete in the national races, was sponsored by Dr. William M White head
 Despite torrents Of rain and the resulting slick course, the boys run ming in the race and the spectators enthusiastically cheered the 20 boy made car drivers down Twelfth Street. In the second Soap Box Derby ever to be held in Alaska, a crowd of nearly the anticipated 1000 spectators stood along both sides of the entire course. The steady drizzle of rain which later grew to downpour was ignored by most of the onlookers and com petitors alike in the excitement of the race.
 The parade before the race be- gan at o'clock from the Alaska Steamship Dock It ended at the top of the hill after proceeding along Franklin Street to Fourth and along Fourth to Calhoun Avenue. Led by the Juneau City Band, the parade was composed of the Juneau Fire Department truck ridden by Chief Minard Mill, Les Linchan and Horace Adams, and the 20 Soap Box Derby cars with their drivers being pulled by mem beis of the Juneau Rotary Club. In spite of having to pour rain out of their instruments, the Band provided music throughout the parade The Rotary Clubs clowns, Dr. William Whitehead and Jack Burford, were source of great amusement during the parade and later in the afternoon as well
 After the programs for the race were passed out by Henry Sully and Don Skuse and the track had been cleared of all canines, the races began at approximately 2:30 o'clock.
 One Broken Wheel
 On one occasion when Osterman's Virginia Flyer" was racing Ger aid Mail Train" Shaw's car in Heat No. 8, Leo was forced to run out on the gravel at the end of Twelfth Street. This resulted in one broken wheel for Osterman's car and caused a Is minute delay while the car was taken to the re- pair pits. This, the only mishap Iof the afternoon, possibly could have been avoided if the specta- tors had been little more coopera- tive in clearning the runway.
 Dick Keithdltn Second
 Csterman beat out Dick Electric" Keithahn, sponsored by the Par sons Electric Company in the fi- nal heat of the race. Keithahn was the winner of Class B and Osterman of Glass A Competition. They were pitted together in the /Confjnued ou pn0e Threel

Program for the StresSing of the
conservation of natural resources
in the schools of Union county is
being set up here by the State
Department of Education and O.
hio Division of Conservation. A
series of four meetings, in which
the program will be outlined to
those charged with its emphasis
in the individual schools, has been
arranged.
Union is one of eight Ohio coun-
ties selected by the two state de-
partmentS to try out the program
experimentally, County Supt. Gale
w. Baldwin said.
The idea is not to add new class
eS or courses to the curriculi, he
pointed out, but to stress the need
and value of conservation where
ever it can be tied in with other
school work.
Example of Application
AS an example. Mr.. Baldwin said
teachers in even the lower grades
could teach conservation by Sc
lecting proper reading assignments.
In the upper grades, and high
school, there are any number of
opportunities for working soil and
wild-life conservation into other
classes.
Responsibility for getting tn e
program working in the individual
schools will rest primarily with
superintendents and vocational ag-
riculture teachers. In order to
familiarize them with the program
and methods of getting it started,
four sessions will be held at var
ious points around the county this
fall. In addition to school heads
and vocational agriculture teach
| ers, state and county conservation
and agricultural leaders will at
tend. Special invitations have also
| been issued to any other interested
persons, such as heads of fish and
game clubs, All and Boy Scout
! leaders, and others.
First Session Sept. 30.
The first session will be from |
to 9 p. m. Sept. 80, in the Marys-
vile high school building. 1t will
stress the physical basis of re-
source conservation, and leader OF
most of the discussions will be Dr.
Paul Shaffer, of Ohio Wesleyan
university.
He will discuss the physical
structure of Union county; lead
a field trip to show first hand the
representative geological format-
ions of the county, the base rocks,
mineral resources, and weather
ing of rocks into soil; and then
conduct another discussion of wat
er resources and conservation. AL
