A deep-water explosion Of an
atomic bomb to determine the
feasibility of using them against
warships at sea appears probable
in the Forthcoming. series Of tests
at the Marshall Islands nuclear
weapon proving ground.
In six years Of experimenting.
the atomic weapoaeers have tried
out explosions under a variety Of
conditions-mid-air burst, surface
underground and in
shallow water. They now have
amassed q vast amount. OF data
on what such blasts will do to
buildings, underground structures.
weapons, ships anchored In har-
bor and to men.
But until they go ahead with o
test first planned and then aban-
doned in 1916, they win not know
how effective would be q deep
water blast of an atomic mine"
against a force of warships or q
convoy under way on the high seas.
Bikini Ships Available.
The assumption Is that at least
some target ships will be used In
the test. although instruments
that record shock. pressure. radia-
ton and other effects could pro-
vide valuable data alone.
The Navy has on hand q large
number Of combatant ships, trans
ports and smaller craft, many OF
which could be used in the expert
ment. Left over from the l946
Bikini tests are several battle
ships and cruisers. almost q dozen
destroyers, q half-dozen sub
marines and a variety Of trans
ports.
The Baker" test in Bikini la
COON produced formidable results:
Two battleships, a big carrier.
three submarines and some small
craft were sunk In that single
blast of one weapon.
Believe Power Wasted.
But scientists and military
leaders believe a great deal Of the
destructive force Of the bomb was
lost because Of the shallow depth
|of the lagoon-about $50 feet al
the deepest point. A great deal
of the bombs power was expanded
in the spectacular (althougt
tactically useleSs) column Of wa
ter thrown up by the blast.
Scientists believe q deep under.
water shot might produce far
greater damage over . much
wider area. This Is because the

hope to pay little or no interest.
If it paid back over a 25-year
period, the annual payments on
$54 million would be only a little
over 81 million.
There is a supplementary pos
sibility-a direct Federal contri-
button to the highway fund. The
argument is that the Government
contributes. heavily to congestion,
therefore should pay more for
highways here.
The District theoretically might
shift part of its general lnon-
highway funds to roads, but that
would merely be robbing Peter to
pay Paul.
Committee Study Proposed.
Gen. Robinson has not COM
mitted himself on a financing
plan. Soon he will seek appoint
ment of a committee of bankers
and business leaders to devise one.
Where higher taxes come in is
this: The city must naturally pay
back what it borrows. More reve-
nue. must be obtained from some-
where (unless Congress takes the
whole burden). Therefore some
taxes in addition to the gas tax,
almost certainly must be increased.
The real estate tax might be it.
Highway officials would like tt
see two changes in District budget
practice. They would like to have
automobile personal property taz
revenue (about SO million an
nually) go to highways. instead
Of the general city fund. Anc
they would like to- get ric Of Q
burden they consider unnecessary,
Their $l.3 million yearly contribu-
ton to the police force. But this
is just juggling. More money
and taxes-still would be needed

Capital Transit Co. and the
city agree on a principle: Gradua
elimination of streetcars. Tht
question Is, when?

Their fellow defendant. Meyers,
today told Judge Chestnut that he
was discharging Mr.. Buchrnan as
his attorney and would represent
himself. The attorney Is Defend
ing the Frankfelds.
Judge Chestnut tried to deter
mine from Meyers why he was
taking this action. Meyers only
said that he felt. it would be in
his "self interest"
Spectators were excluded during
the jury selection for lack of
space. They will be admitted
later.
Questioning Takes Time.
The quizzing Of the prospective
jurors moved slowly. The entire
panel was asked If they knew any
Of the six defendants; if they
knew any FBI agents; If they
were members Of the Communist
Party: or if they knew any mem
bers of the Communist Party.
After these questions to the
group as a whole, the panel men,
bers were called to the stand one
by one for intensive examination
by defense attorneys.
One prospective juror was asked
IL he had read an article in Red
book magazine by Mrs. Markward

On every project. Congress must
give the green light.
But the main headaches in the
l0-year program are the four de-
scribed. Here's what they involve:
1. TAXES.
The gasoline tax is the main
source Of District highway rev.
enues. The present tax rate is. 4
cents Q gallon. On June 80, this
10 scheduled to drop to 8 cents.
But Congress is beng asked to
raise the rate permanently to 5
cents-the same as Maryland's. a
penny less than Virginia's. This
would add an extra 81 million
annually to revenue at first. and
almost SIS million annually to-
ward the end Of the 10-year pro-
gram. Almost all this extra could

Other highway revenue sources
are vehicle registration, title, in
aspection and license fees. and as
sessments for curbs, cutters, al
leys and sidewalks. parking

highways but no longer do so.)
Some increase in revenue from
these fees is expected as registra-
tionS grow, but not enough te

planners: Should the United
States have more atomic bombs
or more bombers?
Atomic Energy Commission and
military leaders say some competi-
ton already exists between the
ACC and the armed forces for
materials and technical man
power.
The decision to expand the
atomic energy program, while
adding more than so wings to the
Air Force and building artillery
and tanks, will sharpen the rivalry
for metals and men.
Some air war experts hold
American superiority over Russia
in the number Of bombs is mean

number of long bombers to
deliver them.

the land in this park was given by
Mrs. Anne Archbold and the late
Charles O Glover. The plan now
is to run a six-lane dual parkway
through it.
Mrs. Archbold is known to OPP
pose any road. Charles c. Glover,
jr., also once protested a speedway
but favors a less elaborate road.
The planners insist on the road,
despite loss Of park value to resi-
dents Of the area. The main ques-
ton, assuming the road goes
through, is one Of ethics: The plan
is to call it Arizona parkway. but
courtesy to the donors would seem
to dictate retaining the present
park name, Glover-Archbold, fol
the road.
District officials say another
appropriate avenue might be
found to satisfy the Arizona Con-
gressional delegation which has
shown interest in the subject.
Issue in Project.
At issue in the Glover-Arch-
bold project is this: If this park
way isn't put through. Foxhall
road probably would have to be
widened. Foxhall residents don't
want that.
Fort drive, in the same neigh
borhood, would bisect 55-acrt
Battery Kemble Park, surrounded
by fine homes in the Chair
bridge road area. Also a dua
parkway. the, drive would be {
loop around the city which woulc
connect with proposed bridge ir
line of Nebraska avenue.
Residents oppose damaging tht
park. But this land was bough
specifically for the road, and parl
officials are not disposed to chang
their minds. This section of thu
drive, however. isn't on th'
present road program. Construc
ton there is probably at leas
Is years away.
Another park, this one down
town, is involved in controversy
This is Stanton Park, at Fourth
and C streets NE. The C stree
East Capitol Bridge exit woul'
require bisecting or channelizinl
lit, and cutting down trees. Resi-
dents object strenuously.

the projects. But it promises Il
