Dear Sir:
Enclose find money order for $500
to renew my subscription to The Peo-
pies Voice for another year.
am enclosing a page of The Work
er of New York and want you to read
Byrnes Mouthpiece of Racism. 1t may
be you read this paper as it is well
worth reading, and it is my personal
opinion that if this many Byrnes is
left alone, and let run at large with
the power given him, he will start
another world war in the near future.
The common people or the people
IN this country who work and pro-
duce the wealth have been robbed of
their rightful share of the wealth they
produce for years and years by the
big interests and will continue to be
robbed until they wake up to what is
really going on and of course this is
not the only country where the pro-
ducers are being. robbed.
And it looks like our ruling class
are satisfied that the Big interests
should rob the people from the laws
they put through
What we need is a real houseclean-
ing in Washington, D. G. and also a
good many state capitols. Yes, by all
means keep the Voice coming. Yours

HONOLULU, ~ r T. n "A i i " IN .
CROSSROAD. - While army and
navy officials in charge of Joint
Task Force at the Bikini atomic
bomb tests are interested in the
squabble now going on in the con-
gress as between civilian and mill
tary control of atomic energy, their
single interest here is to complete
successfully the important expert
ments on the possible damage
which an atom bomb can do to a
fleet at sea.
In the meantime, Adm. w. H. P.
Blandy, commander of Operations
Crossroads, has intimated that
weather conditions may force a
weeks delay in the underwater test
in Bikini lagoon scheduled for July
Is, which would make "Baker-day"
Aug. l or Whereabouts. AS has been
pointed out, the weather for this
second test need not be as perfect
as for the first test when the bomb
was dropped from BIG, but it
must be clear enough for aerial OBJ
servation and photography.
The press ship USS Appalachian
has completed her trip to Pearl
Harbor for minor repairs and now
is anchored with the rest of the
maintenance fleet in Bikini lagoon,
ready to pull out and cruise outside
to the seaward side of the island
when the time is ripe for the second
test.
Few Remain.
Only approximately % CORE
spondents are left aboard the ship,
since most of them returned to the
States Immediately after the first
test.
The pattern for the underwa-
ter test has been completed
with the battleship Arkansas,
which was barely blistered by
the first test, and the carrier
Saratoga, also unchanged as a
result of the first bomb, almost
equidistant and nearest to the
proposed bomb burst.
A little to the east are the battle
ship New York and the cruiser Salt
Lake City. Both suffered negligi-
BILE damage in the first blast. Then
to the west of the two center ships
are the cruiser Pensacola and the
carrier independence. The old In
dependence is merely hulk in the
water with her insides torn out and
her topsides blasted away as result
of the bomb and her own internal
explosions. The Pensacola is I'M
damaged below decks, but her super
structure is pretty well battered up
as result of the first tests, with both
stacks blown away.
Farther out in the circle are the
battleships Pennsylvania and Ne
vada, the Jap ship Nagato and the
German pocket battleship Prinz Eu-
gen. Just forward of the Arkansas
and the Saratoga are several sub
marines which are submerged at
various depths with the double
hulled Pilotfish almost as close to
the center of the burst as the Ar
kansas. Lighter ships make up the
balance of the target array.
Opinions Vary.
The effect of the bomb on these
submarines is awaited with interest
and in the meantime the discussion
goes on as between those who pre-
dict this underwater blast will sink
several capital ships including the
submarines, and those who declare
the damage will be negligible.

BY WALTER A. SHEAD
WNU Washington Correspondent.

Oceanographers, who have
made such elaborate plans to
measure effects Of the bomb,
will come into their own on this
second test. There was little
for them to measure as result
of the first test since the bomb
made no appreciate waves and
did no damage to the ocean bed,
beaches or the island.
However, this second test is ex-
pected to create high waves in the
lagoon, anywhere from 10 feet up.
There are 81 officers and men in
this section of the task force, most
of whom have been in the vicinity
of Bikini since last March recording
data on the physical oceanography,
biology, geology and fisheries OF the
atoll and surrounding waters.
Measurements of wave motion in
terms of time, height and distance,
their effect on the sea bottom and
on the beaches fall into three
classes-Supersonic echo sounding
devices, and aerial and surface pho
Biography, plus maximum water
height recorders on Bikini island
and water level meters on several
other islands of the atoll.
There are supersonic echo sound
ers or fathometers on Is ships in
the target array which will record
large waves through the rise and
fall of the ships, while II super
sonic echo saunders on buoys will
record passage of shorter waves.
Mechanical pressure recorders laid
500 yards apart on the bottom of
the lagoon are capable of recording
wave height in range from to 200
feet.
Animals Still Dying.
The after-effects of this radio ac-
tivity is impressive as seen from
the effects on the live animals
placed aboard the ships, some of
which still are dying despite treat
ment, three weeks after they were
exposed to the first bomb.
AS the first task force
awaits on the eve of this second
test one cannot help but con-
lecture upon the possible effects
of this unpredictable and still
unknown terrific nuclear force
which can decimate entire
cities and depOpulate nations as
has been amply demonstrated
at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The first test proved beyond any
doubt that the bomb was not as eff
fective in the open space att
sea as it is when detonated over
heavily-populated areas on land . Il
that used against naval bases on
land it could render fleet at sea
impotent, but that it would put out
of commission a good many ships
if they were in close formation and
that loss of life aboard these ships
would be terrific.
What effect this atomic energy
will have on the future of the Amer
lean navy as to ship construction
and operation now, however, lies
in the laps of the military evalua-
ton board and the Presidents
atomic energy commission, both Of
which are making study for fu-
ture guidance.
We can only hope that medical
scientists and other scientists here
for observation will CLEAN from
peace-time application which can
bring benefits, and not destruction,
from this new war-born source Of
energy.

DIR. Fishbein' S Future
As ANA Spokesman
May Be Settled Today
BY the Assecioisd Press

SAN FRANCISCO. July 7.-The
house of delegates of the American
Medical Association, representing
1876, 900 doctors throughout the land,
today arranged all-day sessions on
the business of organized medicine
and a closed meeting at which the
future of Dr. Morris Fshbein,
association spokesman, was expected
to be settled.
At an evening meeting DR.. Har-
rison H. Shoulders, Nashville, Tenn,
was to take over the presidency of
the ANA from DR.. Roger I. Lee,
Boston.
The Fishbein issue was a renewal
Of the fight California medical men
had made at previous ANA conven-
tions to limit the Chicago editor of
the American Medical Journal to
strictly editorial functions.
AS one physician put it: 1--WE have
felt in the past that our public rela-
tions have not been of the best and
that DR.. Fishbein is not the most
suitable spokesman for the medical
profession. We respect him for his
editorial ability and want him to
devote himself to that work"

| Delegates were to consider a re-
organiza ton involving the establish
ment of a new bureau of public re-
/ lations to lead the fight against

Shoulders described compulsory
health insurance plans pending be-
fore Congress.

session that it was ready to push its
