Atom Specialist Publicly Discloses
 For First Time Terrible Power Of
 1852 Thermonuclear Weapons Test

WASHINGTON, R-A congress sional atomic specialist hinted to- day the United States may have hydrogen weapons even more potent than a device that nearly Is months ago tore a hole mile wide and 175 feet deep in the floor of the Pacific Ocean.
 Rep. w. Sterling Cole, chair man of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, gave details never before discussed publicly of a 1852 thermonuclear test in the Marshall Islands. President Eisenhower has termed that test a first step in the nations hydro gen bomb program.
 . Cole said in a speech:
 That thermonuclear test of 1852 completely obliterated the test island in the EniWetok atoll.
 Tt tore a cavity in the floor of the ocean-a crater measuring a full mile in diameter and 175 feet in depth at it's lowest point.
 If this blast had been touched off in a modern city, Cole said, the resultant heat and blast would have completely devastated an area three miles in all directions from the point of explosion.
 In all, he said, the 1852 blast would have blanketed an area of 300 square miles.
 But this test was held almost a year and a half ago, Cole said, and he added:
 Security keeps me from com menting on where our hydrogen weapons program now stands, and from outlining the directions in which 1t is now moving. But 1 can assure you that it is moving"
 Cole said he feels "It is more sinful to conceal the power of the atom than to reveal it.'
 He referred Indirectly to a re cent remark by Secretary of De fense Wilson, who told news conference he wished there was less "atOm ratt1inp"
 Without mentioning Wilson by name, Cole said:
 If telling the American peo- pie the facts about the atom be atom rattling' then I conless my guilt. My faith in the c-p cl-y of the American people to ace up to peril is boundless."

The report also revealed that OF
343, 40 Indians in the US, 108,364
are Catholics.
In summarizing a years mission
work among the Negroes the re
port noted "a genuine and widen
ing view for their spiritual welfare
and an encouraging response on
their part.
Converts account mainly for
iNso and half per cent increase
of Negro Catholics noted last
year, with conversions in larger
northern cities remarkably nU-
merous." Total converts reported
in 1883 we're q.42s.

rollments increased Dy about sew
en- and a half per cent. Mission

eight new schools.
The larger number of the mis-
sions and parishes are located in
the 16 southern states where ten
million Negroes live.

Book Only Aid
AS Nuns Build

LONDON -- (NC) - Carmelite
nuns whose knowledge of building
was obtained entirely from books
are building their own cloisters,
chapel and choir in the bleak
Welsh village Of Presteigne, Rad
norshire.
With sleeves rolled up, and
aprons covering their brown habits,
the nuns work every day. even in
snow and rain, mixing cement, car
rying bricks and climbing ladders.
Despite their lack of proper seat
folding they have already put a
permanent roof on their choir
Meanwhile they have transformed
a greenhouse into a chapel where
the few scattered Catholics in the
district can hear Sunday Mass.
The community of 18 spent all
their money when they moved
from just outside the London area
to take over large derelict house
at Presteigne as their home.
Too poor to pay for alterations,
they decided to tackle the lob
themselves. Their only help has
been from a young Catholic arch
itect who has designed their ex-
tensions for them, and from
1q.year-old German youth who
helps them from time to time.
The nuns expect to finish their
new convent in about II months
They will then have to build clois
ters and their own cells and, final
ly as they are an enclosed order
high wall round the premises
In the meantime they sleep il
wooden chicken huts on the lawn.
