Hydrogen Bomb Hits One City But Only For
Expansion Purposes; Augusta Is Booming
CITY HIT WITH
SUDDEN BOOM
MUST PLAN FOR
EXPANSION

AUGUSTA. Georgia. IN,
SO far no hydrogen bomb has
been dropped on any city-in fact
so far no Hydrogen bomb seems
to have been made in the United
States. But in a way, the H-Bonb
has landed square in the middle
OF one OF otr toWns-the medium
sized city Of Augusta, Georgia.
The enormous new plant for the
enormous new bomb is being put
up just across the Savannah river,
In South Carolina.
There arc no communities much
above village size on the Carolina
side-so Augusta is the urban cen
ter for the whole district. And if
Augusta was ever slecpy--which
it was-it's not sleepy any more.
The truth is the H-Bomb plant
is only the latest OF several jolts
which have shaken this amiable
Old-south community. As they say
in Augusta these days, the billion
dollar bomb plant is the biggest
event in Augusta since the Brit
iSh hanged l3 revolutionaries in
the town tavern, back in 1880
The civil war worked it's full
terror on Augusta, as it did on Just
about everything in Georgia. But
since then, the city has been
qmet--and liked it.
In 1910. Augusta had a popu
lation of about $4,000 perman-
ent citizens. But since then the
population graph has been leap
ing up and down like dumb
waiter--with a series of mill
tarY and civilian nigrations.
1t began with the invasion of
augusta by the United States
Army in f94l or Whereabouts. The
camp nearby is Camp Gordon,
which IN the past has been Of
reasonable size and spick and
span order, World WARTIME turned
Gordon into a huge training cent
er-and 10000 soldiers descended
upon the city.
Augusta somehow got through
this---only TO learn that the gov
crnmcnt had decided 10 make a
small scale iva our Of the Sa-
vannah river. The 76-million-dol-
lar Clark hill dam above the city
Is nearing completion. And a sec
ond dam is projected further up
stream. There will be several 9TH
crs. This, of course, is the reason
the H-Bonb plant is being built
over on the Carolina bank--they
need all tho power they can get
: .IIavina dealt u0ita fhc4argny, and
the construction boys for the
dams, Augusta now finds that the
Veterans administration is re-
opening a vast hospital nearby
and the state of Georgia is also
putting UP a l2-million dollar hos
pital in connection with the Uni
vcrsity Of Georgia medical school
which is in Augusta
And now and now, They ex-
poet no less than $4,000 construc-
ton workers and their families in
connection with the H-Bomb plant
building. This in town which
even now has an estimated popu-
latlon of only about 10000. Lots
OF people over ten years old can
remember The day when you
could park double without caus-

az Wircph0to

that the city will need $4,000 more
homes. And instead Of sevcn-mill-
ion dollars on sewerS-l8 million.
So we see the H-Bomb already
has hit one town, after all. And as
a sample of what's happened: the
fire chief has already quit to so
to work in the H-Bornb project.

ing major traffic Jam. They also
remember that you could leave
the keys in the car and be reason
ably sure it would be there when
you came out, Now-life is step
ped up quite bit But Augusta
is doing its share-maybe a lot
more, when you think Of it.
One of the main problems
when town gets hit with a
sudden boom is paying for ex-
pansion. City water and sewer
systems and streets have 10 be
built TO take care of The sud-
denly expanded housing and in
dustrial needs.
In Augusta, for instance, they
have been planning a seven-miI-
lion-dollar sewer Improvement
program. But this now docs not
seem adequate in the light Of the
H-bomb project. THEY'LL have 10
raise more money somehow.
Augusta officials estimate that
the city will have to take care Of
perhaps $4,000 more people than
the normal OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
now and the time the H-Bomb
plant is completed. That's expect
cd to be 1865. A four-lanc road
already is being built to connect
Augusta with the site of the plant
across the river.
To meet all these needs, thc
city is making both short and long
term plans, The long tenn dcvcI
.opment is intended 10 care for q
population increase Of only about
ten percent including 5000 or
100000 permanent workers at the
TI-Bonb plant Bot in the moan

Corpl. Hacker, who was born
in Washington and lived here
eight years before his family
moved to Bowie, was wounded
February 9 in an action 10 miles
north of Seoul. A bullet ripped

that it didn't even knock
me out" he said. II was
bleeding and they told me I bet

I could get treatment. I walked
5 miles to an aid station"
That was the second time Corpl.
Hacker had been wounded in
Korea fighting. The first time,
last November 10. he was hit by
