Sailors S Letter Tells
|0f H-Bomb Explosion
|At Eniwetok Nov. |
BY the Assoeioied Press

MICHIGAN CITY. Ind, Nov
IA sailor has written home
that a hydrogen bomb was ex-
ploded on a South Pacific atoll
November /.
The Michigan City News-Dis-
patch printed parts of the letter
yesterday, but did not identify the
sailor or his parents. Other eye
witness accounts have been pub
lished in Los Angeles and Lima
Ohio.
The sailor wrote that the bomb
was hauled from San Francisco to
the Marshall Islands aboard his
ship with extraordinary precau-
tions. While it was in port, he
said. small boats circled it con-
tinuously.
The sailor said the bomb was
put in a compartment, the door
welded shut and chains welded
across the door. He said there
were more security guards aboard
than Navy men.
Submarine Reported.
The ships radar picked up an
unidentified submarine on the way
to the Marshalls, but the sailors
said nothing came of the alarm.
His report of the big blast was
much like, the earlier ones.
I'VE were anchored in the bay
just off Kwajalein," he wrote
THE bomb went off at 7:15 am
our time, November /. That's
AIS your time Central Standard
Time). We were cruising out 81
miles from the test island.
Il didn't get to see the actual
blast. I was standing there with
my eyes shut and my face pushed
into my arms, and still saw the
flash. 1t was just like someone
putting hot iron on your back
for split-second.
Blows Top on Building.
"Ten seconds later we turned
around. I can't begin to describe
it. Orange-red clouds shot about
halfway up the mushroom. It
blew the top off a building ia
miles away.
There was such an updraft
that it took about two minutes for
the sound of the explosion to
reach us. There were three dis
tinct blasts"
The sailor said the test island
apparently was Eniwetok, where
one of the atomic bombs was
tested several years ago. The re-
port published in Lima Monday
said the little island. a mile wide,
actually disappeared" in a fire
that burned for six hours.
The Atomic Energy Commission
has refused to comment on the
letters,

Brannan Sees Growth
In nPopu|ation Bringing
Serious Food Problem

Agriculture Secretary Brannan
predicted today that the popula-
ton of the United States would
be more than 230 million by the
year 1000 if the present rate of
growth continues.
Speking at session of the AS
sociation of Land Grant Colleges
and Universities, in the Hotel
Statler, he said the problem of
how to produce sufficient food
for the future is facing the Nation
because of this population growth.
He said the Nation is growing by
2.5 million people annually.
This need for more food. which
he described as a key to peace,
will be met by improved methods
both here and abroad. Mr.. Bran
nan declared. Wider adoption
lof improved farming methods,
greater use of electricity, farm
machinery, fertilizer and research
will aid in keeping step with the
population growth. he added.
Mr.. Brannan said the United
States must produce sufficient
food for its civilian population,
to store for emergencies and to
aid foreign countries.
Increased Yields Needed.
Accordingly, farmers will have
to produce more crops, milk, meat
and eggs, the Secretary told the
convention. Because there will
be no additional acreage to do
this, he said the problem must be
met by increased yields per acre
per animal and per man hour.
The Nation can achieve this
through studies made by the land
grant colleges and universities
and the Agriculture Department
Mr.. Brannan said.
Secretary Brannan was intro
duced by the associations presi-
dent. Milton S. Eisenhower of
Pennsylvania State College, broth
er of the President ELECT of the
United States.
Mr.. Brannan expressed conf
dence in the eventual triumph OF
the free world over communism
and added this will be due in part
to institutions like the land-grant
colleges.
DR.. Courtney c. Brown, an econ
omist for the Standard Oil Co. of
New Jersey, predicted today that
the Nations prosperity may begin
to fade next year.
A former Government official
DR.. Brown is assistant to the
board chairman of his company.
Warns of "PrOps."
If a recession does come, he
warned against placing too great
reliance on the prosperity props
the Government has erected. He
indicated they should be adequate
to prevent a decline from getting
out of hand. But he said they will
not prevent at least some unem-
ployment.
He cited these three factors
which he said may indicate a
decline in economic activity:
l. Leveling off of the defense
mobilization program.
2. Elimination of shortages of
consumer goods by the Nations s
manufacturing plant which has
produced both guns and butter.
3. Housing and automobile mar
kets geared more to replacement
of old units and to demand from
new families than to shortages.
Henry B. du Pont. a vice presi-
dent of the Du Pont Co., address
ing dinner of the engineering
and the arts and sciences divisions
of the association last night,
pleaded for an understanding of

had to be in Congress by January
18 and that much of the material
was already in hand.
The budget for the current year
calls for $79.l billion in new obli-
gatlonal authority with $1.8 bill
lion to be asked in supplemental
esUlmates. This total OF $80.9 bill
llan compares with the figure of
S8o.4 Dillon submitted to congress
IN January.
The Republicans have promised
sharp retrenchment. Mr.. LaWton
would not comment on the pro-
jected size of next years budget.
That figure is always supposed to
be held in secrecy until the Pres
ldent presents his estimates to
Congress.
1t was suggested to Mr.. LaWton
that the same people WHO prepared
the Truman budget would sit in
on any revisions that might be
made by the new administration.
He was asked if those preparing
the first set of figures might not
nave trouble reconciling their
views with later prospective cuts.
Mr.. LaWton responded that a
budget is built on policies and
laws and If the policies and
laws change, the budget also will
change
- Promises to Be Helpful.
Mr.. Lawton said in response to
a question that he had been in
structed by President Truman to
extend the fullest cooperation to
Mr.. Dodge and Ito be as helpful
as possible and that would be
done.
MIR. Dodge brought no aides to
help him in his studies and he
is working in an Office down the
hall from Mr.. LaWton's quarters
on the sedDnd floor of the old
State = War Navy Building just
west Of the White House.
Mr.. Dodge brushed aside oues-
tions about the possibility of his
being budget director under the
new administration.
He said fatty that his present
assignment had nothing to do with
the future. He said, however, he
had not been offered the budget
job.
Mr.. Dodge said he was prepared
to stay here as long as he felt it
necessary. When asked if he
would make interim reports to
Gen. Eisenhower or wait until the
end and give him the complete
picture, he said that would depend
on developments.
