Eayors Atom Tests
 SenoFe to Review
 PIons Next Week

Washington, April l3- (UP)- Members of the Senate Naval Af- fairs Committee today seemed agreed with President Truman that the Bikini Island atom bomb tests must be held but baked at the number Of ships involved.
 Acting shortly after Mir. Truman described the tests as vital to this country's future defense plans, committee chairman David |. Walsh, D., Mass, asked that action be postponed on legislation author izing the use of warships as guinea pigs In the tests,
 Walsh said he had been inform ed by Vice Admiral w, H. F. Elan dy, in charge of the tests, that the Navy may reduce its guinea pig fleet from 100 to "A vessels. The Senate Committee next week will review plans for operations, now scheduled to begin July l.
 Blandy. 1t was understood in- formed walsh that if "A ships are used only one aircraft carrier and five submarines will be modern fighting ships. Of the total, 34 ships would be anchored outside the es- timated effective bomb range. It was thought these would escape destruction and could be used to carry technical equipment for measuring the effect of the bomb blast.
 Costly Project
 Walsh emphasized that he does not oppose the tests. But he point ed out that original plans called for possible destruction of $448, ,000,- 900 worth of shipping. Other mem bers gave strong support for Presi- pent Truman'S position that the tests must be held, but several urged that no more ships than deemed absolutely necessary be risked,
 Sens. James w. Huffman. D., O., and Scott Lucas. D., H.. have in troduced a resolution urging that the tests be cancelled completely.

Forest Fire Season is Here Again;
Two Roilrood Fires Reported;
Other Fires Over County

Fire danger in our forest is as
great now as any time last sum
mer forest authorities disclosed
Tuesday. The hot weather of the
past few weeks has dried out the
forest considerably especially on the
south slope.
Extreme care should be taken by
campers and others entering the
forest throughout the rest of July
and during August and September
to prevent any needless loss of tim
Der by fire
Remember that a match or cigar
cite carelessly thrown down in the
forest may start a serious fire days
afterward When making a camp
fire, the ground should be cleared
Of all grass and pine needles for
space of five to six feet. One way
to be sure that the campfire is
really out is to place your hand
over the Goals. If there is not
enough heat to be felt. you can be
pretty sure that the fire is out
The forest officials also suggest
that you notify the ranger in charge
of the district where you plan to
camp, approximately where your
will be before starting
out on the trip No campfires may
be built in the primitive area ex-
cept near a lake or in an open
spot

a 1871 mill levy for the general

the street; three for the cemetery
and one for the airport, making a
total levy of 3O15 mills.
The final budget meeting is called
for August 8, at which time the

was paid for from the general fund.
The airport fund has been set up
for assisting in the maintenance OF
the field.
Even with the addition of the two
new funds, the preliminary budget
levy is only three and one-half mills
higher than last year when the levy
totalled q mills.
