Admiral Berkey Gives Talk
ON Atom to Sorobtimzists
By GrefcHen Smifh,
Women's Club Editor.

Approximately 1000 naval vessels
as large fleet as was used in the
taking OF Two Jima, will participate
IN the atom bomb tests to be held
jointly by the Army and Navy in
the late spring, members of the
Soroptimist Club were told yesterday
by Rear Admiral Russell Berkey
chief of the civilian liaison Office
of the Navy Department.
Guest speaker at the organiza-
tion's weekly luncheon at the Will
lard Hotel, the admiral explained
he was merely pinch hitting for an
atomic bomb expert" originally
scheduled to inform the club on
facts regarding the coming expert
ment.
Although only 81 vessels will serve
as prospective targets in the tests,
it will require the feet of 1000 ships,
including various small craft, to
carry needed personnel, instruments,
supplies, ETC., for observation and
study purposes, the admiral ex-
planned.
About $4,000 persons will partici-
pate in the operations, he added,
including some of the Nations lead
ing scientists and representatives
from the Department of Commerce.
The Department of Commerce has
special interest in the bombing in
view of the inevitable destruction
of fish life.
1t has been calculated that the
radio activity released in the bomb
ing will be deadly to life over an
area of about 3 miles, the speaker
explained. and therefore observers
will be stationed at a distance of
from Z to 8 miles from the target.
However, about 1000 animals will be
placed on the target ships for the
purpose of aiding scientists in OBJ
tanning further information on the
effects of atomic energy on animal
life.
The admiral laughingly explained
that about $500 of the animals will
be rats. Goats will be included
among the experimental animals.
The speaker was introduced by
Peggy Stoneham. Announcement
was made by Eleanor Austin, club
president, that all packages of
clothing packed by club members to
