The reduction represents the

planning engineer specializing in
traffic and highway engineering;
the other a planner to make
basic studies in connection with
future slum clearance in Wash

Drastic Changes.
End of the Capper-C ramton
Act would force a drastic change
in park and recreation planning
for the area. 1t could mean:
/. The Planning Commission
would lose its function of pur-
chasing land for parks, park
ways and Fairgrounds in the
District. It would be up to the
District government, and Mary
land and Virginia Jurisdictions,
to buy what they wanted when
they wanted it.
2. The Planning Commissions
master plan. which has guided
park development. would revert
to a paper plan with no sound
means Of putting it in effect.
3. A number of park projects
still in the development stage
would not be completed.
4. The Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission would have. to re-
assess it's whole park program
since joint development by
Maryland and the Federal Gov
eminent under the Capper-
Cramton Act would end. A
number of projects, of necessity,
probably would be abandoned.

programs. the committee recon-
mended $112.568.500 a cut Of

quests. This includes the hous-

American nuclear weaponeers,
whose predictions about the run

missed the mark by millions of
tons of force, propose to go ahead
with their schedule for more and
mightier blasts this spring.

or involving hydrogen bombs.
they will rely on two things:
/. An enlarged danger area
and improved warning system.
2. A better estimate of the force
to be unleaShed in subsequent
H-bomb tests.
On the basis of comparisons
made by atomic authorities in
Congress, the March / thermo-
nuclear explosion appears to have
been upwards of IA megatonS-
energy equivalent to that pro-
duced in the explosion of IA mil
lion tons of INT. (The old atom
ic bomb dropped on Hiroshima
had an energy release OF 10000
tons, or 20 kilotons).
Power Far Underestimate.
Using information gained from
the first. exploratory test of a
hydrogen device in the fall of
1852 and adding to it new and
intricate computations from
laboratory studies, the weapon
GERS made an initial forecast
for the March l weapon which
was substantially less than half
the force eventually attained.
This first estimate was revised
upward before the test shot, it
is understood, but even the re-
vised estimate fell several mil
lion tons below the power scien-
lists now believe was looSed in
the explosion.
President Eisenhower, in an
underStatement, said WedneS-
day something must have hap
pened that we never experienced
before and must have surprised
and astoniShed the scientists.
What happened?
Not even the nuclear scientists
who devised the weapon and
supervised its tests know many
of the answers yet. nor will they
until careful analysis of such
recordings as could be made of
the explosion are worked out on
robot computing machines. A
multitude of data, including
such things as study of the in
tensity and coloration of light
in the explosion as measured
against millionth-second timing,
must be scrutinized.
Then, too, it seems probable
that the scientists will take an
other look at the fashionable ma
terial used in the weapon and
it's triggering device before they
predict the power of the next
thermonuclear bomb.
Embarrassing Factor.
The disconcerting and embar-
RAISING thing about the March /
thermometer test was not the
terrific blast but the cratic and
far-flung atomic cloud that raced
outward from the scene.
It touched with radioactive
ash the crew Of the japanese

On Wednesday the American
Embassy in Tokyo handed TO
japanese officials a statement
which said that after a re- study,
the danger area from which
shipping is excluded during tests
has been expanded. That ex-
pansion sets a downwind radius
of $50 miles, superimposing it on
the former smaller zone which
was about $50 by 200 miles.
The embassy statement also
took cognizance of another

for corn than for any other basic
crop"
Although the 1854 corn acreage
promises to be the smallest in
60 years, paintings in other feed
crops are expected to increase
substantially on lands taken out
of the three principal control
led" crops--wheat, corn, and
cotton. The anticipated oats acre
age this year is up 7%; barley,
up 47%0; sorghums, up 28 percent
and hay, up 3 percent. These
acreages, on average yields,
would give a total feed supply
about 6-million tons greater
than 1853, and 100000 tons
more than the postwar record
year 1949. Total livestock on
farms will increase about go
over 1853, with total feed sup
plies up percent.
"a small reduction in corn
acreage is planned in the Corn
Belt, while a larger acreage is
in prospect in the South" the
April outlook predicts.
Total corn production this year
is calculated at 3.l-billion bu-
shells, down only 77-million bu-
shells from 1853. But total plant
ings for all feed grains combin-
ed are 100000 acres greater
than 1853, an increase Of per-
cent, offset in part by the ex-
pected increase of 3g6 in live
stock population.
Soybean paintings in 1854 are

Although they had cleared a

able head-way when the crew
discovered the fire rapidly
spreading up the hill.
John Bates, Sr., John Smith

been burning the trash as part
OF their work in clearing right
of-Way for the state highway
construction of U. S. Route 81,
which will begin in that section
soon.
The men tried to fight the fire
alone but found it necessary to
call the fire department at about
$3.50. Eight firemen, approxim-
ately IL volunteer fire-fighters
and number of boys finally
eXtinguished the last flame at
shortly before six o'clock.
No buildings were burned.
The fire burned over a

grass and brush were burned,
there was no extensive damage
to the trees, since the wind car

very quickly.
