Parking Project Digs
Big Hole in Chicago 5
Michigan Avenue
by the Assoeioied Press

CHICAGO. Mar. 18.--Michi-
gan avenue is being turned into
a hole in the ground.
Chattering pneumatic hammers
bit into the pavement Of one of
the worlds most famous streets
today, and chufing scoop shovels
dug huge divots Of dirt.
Only a tllree-block section,
from Randolph to Monroe. is
being torn up. And the deface-
ment is only temporary--if you
can stretch the term to cover q
nine-month period.
The digging is being done for
the city's first underground ga
rage. Parking space for 2,359
cars will be provided under the
boulevard and adjacent Grant
Park.
To Resemble Dump.
Meanwhile. "Boul Mich" from
the Chicago Public Library to q
point near the Chicago Art In
stitute, will look like q garbage
dump.
The smartly groomed people
who operate the swank shops
along the avenue take a dim view
Of the project.
I'VE don't like It," one mer-
chant told a newsinan. I'VE had
to have the windows calked to

displayed dainty slippers a lady

should delight those curious on
lockers known as sidewalk super
intendents. But they, too. are
disgruntled. The work area is
hemmed in by a board fence six
feet high.
The first thing that was re-
moved from the path of progress
was the peristyle at the north
end of Grant Park. Folks used
to stand in the shade of the clas-
sic columns and feed the pigeons.

from the tower. was an elite col
lection Of animalS-mice, rab-
bits. a few sheep, pigs and dogs
whose experiences might teach
the scientists how to save many
more human lives on some fu-
ture day.
/ BY 4::50 am. one hour before
shot time. light began to creep
! across the sky from the east,
and within a few minutes the
hills beyond the test basin stood
out black against a slate blue
background. A loud speaker
cracked from time to time-now
with a bulletin on the movement
Of airplanes in the area, again
with a caution to all observers to
make sure their dark glasses were
in readiness.
I felt for mine. They were
right where I had put them
around my neck.
With five minutes to go, News
Mob became even quieter than it
/ had been. Here and there q
typewriter ratified inSensitively.
But nobody moved anymore. For
10 minutes already. the men at
the command post behind us had
surrendered their control of the
operation to an automatic Sc
Quence timer.
| One by one, circuits were be-
ginning to function, cameras to
whirr, counters to tick. It was
all precise, all scientific. And
yet.
Situation Is Tense.
| You couldn't help wondering,
as you sat there behind your
| typewriter and waited. couldn t.,
at least. I kept seeing in my
minds eye that announcement
the Atomic Energy Commission
had handed us when we arrived
in Las Vegas: 1--WE must be pre-
pared for any unforeseen and
unexpected condition which may
arise"
It seemed a silly sort of thing
to read. back in Las Vegas. But
it suddenly became food for
thought out here. Science is q
wonderful thing. But things do,
sometimes. go wrong.
The sky in the east was get
ting red. One Star reporters
mouth was getting dry.
I put my typewriter on top of
my note paper, tucked my glasses
firmly in my pocket, located and
slowed away my pencil. I set
tied myself as firmly as I could
on the bench. The fact that
there were plenty of people, in
cluding some ! knew, more than
twice as close to that tower as I
was had nothing to do with the
case. knew what I was doing
was probably silly, but I didn't t
take time to laugh at myself. /
was too busy listening to the
beat of my heart. 81
Finally word came over the
loudspeaker that there was one
minute to go. I put on my dark
glasses supplied us on the way
out from town. 1t was like sit
ting in a closed closet-they cut
out just 80 per cent Of the light
that reaches your eyes. i.,.,. q

loudspeaker. Ten seconds"

grip on my typewriter. I didn't
want it TO fly away. Five
seconds. Four. Three. Two.

AS beautiful. as terrible as it is
supposed to be. every last bit.
And suddenly. here. seven miles
across the Nevada desert. the air
for that first second was warm
as spring.

watched the great, angry flower
Blossom. had seen it in the
movies before, in color. and on
television. too. But there were
two things for which I was not
prepared. One was the fantastic
brilliance Of the color in those
first few seconds. The other was
the speed with which it faded.
Within less than 10 seconds, it
seemed to me. the bright hues
were all gone, and in their place
there was only sort of curtain
OF blue-gray light. lowering
around the dark growing mush-
room.
Noise Is Startling.
There was one more thing for
which, for all my preparations,
was unprepared when it came
the wave Of conclusion and
sound that reached News Mob
precisely on schedule, IS seconds
after the first fash. The shock
was not surprising but the noise
was. For us back here it was
just what Capt. Kinne told his
troops it would be for them.
1t was for ali the world like
standing by the barrel of a 1856
milllmeter gun when it is fired,
which I had done once or twice
during the war. It made me
Jump then. and it made me jump
yesterday.
Within a few minutes of the
blast, the reporters were peck
ing away at their typewriters
again, as the 4O,OOO-foot cloud
drifted away toward the rising
sun, and a haze of dust spread
along the ground and over the
two test houses, with their still
smiling, though by now very
shaken, dummies.
The loudspeaker cracked
again. Five forty a.m.-8:40 in
the District of Columbia.
"We have just received word, I"
said the announcer, "that the
televiSion picture of this deto-
nation was most excellent. View

sections"
HELL" said another collegue
equally knowledgeable, "the thing
would fit in trunk"
/ Whatever the size of the
bomb. however. the tower-tor
light marking its presence was
the center Of all eyes in those
pre-dawn hours this morning. II
did not look seven miles away
Distances are always deceptive
in the desert. anyway. When we
visited this site Sunday there
were several nervous comments
to the effect that the tower
4 seemed only stones throw dis
tant. Now. with its single bright
eye staring OF us through the
black, it produced the feeling 1t
was right in your lap.
Already between us and the
tower, some 1.500 troops were
starting to move into posi-
tion. Accompanied by 40 re-
porters and a number ofsciyilian
defense officials. they were to
take their places in 5-foot-deep
foxholes 2 miles from ground
Zero" closer than any men had
been to an atomic explosion
since the Japanese at Nagasaki.
Lights Extinguished.
The location of those foxholes
was marked when we arrived
by row of reddish lights which
seemed to be almost directly be-
low the shot tower, but those
lights were extinguished as dawn
approached.
The final briefing before NOV
ing out across the desert came
from Capt. Harold Kinne, q
young Army special weapons
expert.
'You may be hurt If you do
not obey ORDERS" he told them.
2 minutes before the bomb went
off, he said, a siren would
sound. Face left, kneel down,
look down. stay down." said Capt.
Kinne.
When the bomb exploded, the
officer continued, even though
looking down, the troops and
those accompanying them would
see a light brighter than they
mad ever Seen-"as though some
one had exploded a Photographic
f1ashbulb in your face" They
would feel intense heat-"as If
you had opened an oven door
suddenly, and then as suddenly
closed it," And. 10 seconds later,
they would hear a great roaring
bang, as if they were standing
right at the rnuzzle of a large
artillery piece-of q really big
gun when it is fired"
Greatest Show on Earth"
When they heard the noise of
the explosion, Capt. Kinne told
them. it would be safe to stand
up and look at the unfolding
mushroom.
Gentlemen" he concluded,
"thiS is the greatest show on
earth.. Obey orders and you
won't be hurt. Relax and en-
joy it,"

ents, Of course, were not the only
ones out there in the dark, watt

The library confirmed that the

almost as clearly as. you have
seen it here. The report comes
from Washington, q. c."
A roar Of anguish came from
a nearby table. where a local
colleague had been beating
feverishly on his machine, paus-
ing only now and then to rub
his numbed hands.
"Goody," he shouted. "Goody

even a big one. From the point
of view of the scientists, the
only unusual thing about it was
the modesty Of its explosive
power-some three -fourths of
the blast that hit the japanese
way back there at Hiroshima.
But it was quite a way to cele-
brate st. Patrick's Day, for all
that.
The official observer party,
comprising some $50 reporters
and photographers plus a host
of civil defense officials, arrived
at famous News Mob, on the
edge of the test basin, at the
chill hour of 4:20 am. G:?o
am. Washington time) one hour
before shot time.
Within a matter of minutes,
the rocky little hill was swarm
ing with humanity. as photog-
raphers, radio and television
sound technicians hurried to set
up their equipment. Reporters,
picking their way across the
rough ground in search of a
place to prop their typewriters.
had to step carefully through a
maze of wires criss crossing the
ground.
Scene Strangely Quiet.
Though several batteries of
f1oodlightS did their best to hold
back the dark this reporter, for
one, did his early tipping with a
f1ashlight firmly clenched in his
teeth. But, despite the tension
and hustle. the scene was
strangely quiet. The crowd talked
in low tones. Those of us who
were not busy stood in small
groups slipping coffee, looking
out from time to time to the
north, across the basin.
The bomb-whatever the ex-
perts may call it, it will be "the
bomb" for the purposes of this
story-waited out there in the
desert darkness in front of us,
seven miles away. A light marked
the top of the 300-foot steel
tower, to which the secret mech
anism had been carefully hoist
ed yesterday. Now it repoSed, at
the nerve center of miles Of wir-
ing, in a gray-painted room
which looked-when we saw it
in the daylight-about as big as
q good-sized mail truck.
THAT doesn't mean they need
a room that big to hold the
thing" a knowledgeable col
league had said at the time. And
indeed, it seemed he might be
right. For the elevator which
ran to the top of the shaft
looked positively tiny then. as it
rose inside the steel girders.
clearly defined against the blue
Of the sky.
"Of course" said the same
knowledgeable colleague, "the
size of the elevator doesn't mean
the bomb has to be that small.
