Dor where she underwent some mi
nor repairs, and now is proceeding
back to Bikini, where she is sched-
uled to arrive on B-Day minus l, or

Nearest Center.
1t has been announced that ships
nearest the bulls-eye of the second
test will include the battleship Ar
kansas, the heavy cruiser Pensa-
cola, the Jap battleship Nagato,
the aircraft carrier Saratoga, the
destroyer Mayrant, the submarine
Pilotfsh, the transport Fallow and
a tank landing ship.
1t may be that the PiI0tfish
will be nearest the bomb burst,
which, as has been announced,
will be an underwater detOna-
ton. Other ships of the target
feet have been placed in various
positions ranging up to 1900
yards away from the blast.
The Arkansas, the Pensacola and
the Nagato all were severely dam
aged as to superstructure in the first
blast. The Pensacola particularly
suffered heavy damage to her fire
control; her stacks were blown off
and her deck plates buckled. This
correspondent went aboard the Pen
sacola after the first test and noted
that her decks amidship were driv-
en- downward about IL inches and
with such force that steel supports
beneath were driven through the
steel deck plating like toothpicks
through paper.
Await Report.
There is considerable speculation
as to the coming report of the Mill
tary Evaluation board as to the eff
hcacy of the atom bomb as an Of
fensive weapon in naval warfare.
If the board decides that future ma
val construction must meet the dam
gers of atomic blasts, then we may
expect an entirely different warship
of the future.
The experience of the first blast
indicates that firepower exposed
upon high superstructure is partic-
ularly susceptible to the heat and
blast of atomic power. The specu-
lation is that to meet this threat,
future construction will see stream
lined warships with low superstruc-
lures, enclosed as much as possible,
looking something like a modern
deisel locomotive with curved sur
faces to defect blast.
Installation of ventilation systems
also will be given close scrutiny

gasoline. But on most all the ships
were placed live mines, bombs,
shells were in guns or on loading
apparatus, and each ship had
full load of ammunition. None of it
was exploded and the safety crews
which boarded the ships following
the blast were careful in their ex-
animation.
Then the speculation goes to the
use of lead lining against X-rays,
rock wool or some other protection
against heat, and concrete or some
substitute against neutrons and 9TH
er radioactivity.
Opinions Vary.
There are two schools of thought
as to the damage likely to occur to
ship hulls from the underwater
blast. Having in mind the fact that
depth charges of presently used ex-
plosives have sunk or damaged SUBJ
marines and heavily damaged de-
stroyers and other lighter craft, one
school declares that the atomic
bomb will play havoc with the tar
get fleet and predicts that even cap
ital ships closest to the blast will
be capsized and sunk.
Others, however, predict that
much of the force of the blast will
be absorbed by the water and that,
although there is danger of light
ships capsizing, the larger ships will
merely roll with the water and their
heavier underwater armor will not
be damaged. They predict the
heavily armored ships will not suf-
fer as much underwater damage as
could be inflicted with torpedo.
This is all in the realm of specula-
ton, however, and the navy remains
mum about its own expectations.
In discussions aboard the APP
palachian among scientists and
off the-record comment by ma
val officers, there is some rea-
son to presume that the atomic
bomb as an offensive weapon
against ships at sea is not as eff
fective as other weapons. How
ever, its effectiveness against
naval bases would be devastat-
ing and a fleet without naval
bases would be rendered inn
potent.
AtOll to Remain.
This writer believes that Bikini
aton and it's cocoanut groves will be
there, after the second test is over
and even after the third bomb sched-
uled for November or later is
detonated in hundreds of fathoms Of
water in the ocean outside Bikini la
COON. We do not expect any 100
foot waves nor 1,000-mile-an-houf
wind although some wave may wash
over the island. A 15-foot wave could
do that.
But the test which has changed
from a joint army-navy operation,
about which so much stress was put,
into strictly navy show and which
is probably costing about half
million dollars day, likely will give
our military men all the knowledge
they will need to prepare for or
against the atomic bomb in the fu-
ture +. if indeed there is any way
of preparing against it.

NAACP Questions
Photo Of Dead Man

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(SNS)
The NAACP turned over to
the Criminal Division of the De-
partment of Justice the name, adj
dress and other material identi-
flying a Tennessee white man who
lost a pocketbook containing a
snapshot of a dead body hanging
from a tree. Leslie Perry of the
NAACP Washington Bureau, who
asked Justice officials to make
an investigation, said that the
pocketbook was found in Nash
vile, Tenn, and its contents sent
to the NAACP. He said that while
the color of the lynch victim
could not be ascertained from
the photograph, the dead man
appears to have been wearing
an army fatigue uniform. The
discriminating purse contained
the draft registration card,
Tennessee drivers permit, pic
lures of two children and a white
woman and other personal papers
of the owner.
