IKE AND NEWSPAPERS

To me the most incredible thing
ABOUT the present administration
is that President Eisenhower
coe.n't read the newspapers. Ev-
cry day he's served up a sheet OF
paper with news OF the world con-
densed to one page, presumably
81 2xll. if it's letter size, or 81 2
MA. if it's legal size.
If reporters had dug out the
fact that the President doesn't go
TO operas or subscribe to Yale
Review" or read high brow sclen-
tific journals, I could shrug my
shoulders and say, "Oh, we'll, each
to his own taste.
If reports had been circulated
that the President never turns on
television because he can't stand
Arthur Godfrey or Herb Shriner
or iberace, well, that would be
understandable.
If we knew that, next to golf,
the President preferred seeing
baseball to any other sport, we'll,
he'd be in the old American ira
0itiOn.
But not to read newspapers Is
incredible. say this not as
member of a profession whose out
put is completely ignored by the
President, but as a private citizen
v no frankly couldn't do without
newspaper. Actually, l read five
daily newspapers. an additional
Sunday paper and uncounted
V veeklieS)
How does the President know
who won the football games or
who's leading in the American
and National Leagues? Is that
summarized on that little sheet?
During the Sheppard trial, did
Mt the President keep up with the
daily details? Could the Presl-
dent honestly turn to his neighbor
and say, 81 think he did it my
self, but they haven't much OF
case against him?"
Doesn't the President want to
know what's happening to Long
Sam? Doesn't he worry about
whether or not Pipper the Piper
and Murky the Murph are going
to be rescued before the Russian
ice cutter gets them?
Almost as soon as American
colonists got settled they started
publishing newspapers and Amer
leans have been reading them ever
since. From party journals news
papers have moved toward more
impartial disseminators of infor-
nation, not only political, but
highly varied, such as weather,
stock market quotations, home
hints and entertaining features.
Newspapers still have their biases
but that all the more reason for
reading several.
A lot of people thought 1t was
terrible when Harry Truman wrote
that scorching letter to Pa u
Hume. music critic for the Wash
ington Post. cursing him for what
he wrote about Margaret's singing.
But at least it showed that Tru-
man as President read the papers
himself. 1t showed that Truman
GOT his own hands on newspaper.

director Of the North Carolina De-
partment of Motor Vehicles High

use a series nj rapid brake appli-
cations. Experts call this the
pumping" technique. On packed
snow and less slippery surfaces.
the driver can usually feel the
point at which brakes begin to
lock and wheels start sliding On
such surfaces the driver should
apply brakes gently until he feels
the wheels are starting to slide and
then release them slightly. How
ever. if he cannot get results, he
should start the pumping tech

Survival City Gets Atomic Blast
liz Times Hiroshima A. Bomb
GIIRVIVAI CITY. New. M -

SURVIVAL I'll I, N6V., WI
Atomic fury at least one and a
half times as powerful as the
blast that leveled Hiroshima
struck at this tiny test town on
the desert Thursday.
It knocked out the 250-watt
radio station located less than
mile from the heart Of the great
nuclear explosion, and probably
caused extensive damage to the
four homes along Doomsday
Drive, only 4,700 feet from the
blast tower.
The huge device packed fire
ball lasting Is seconds and
power of between 80 to 35 kilo-
tons-30 to 35 thousand tons of
TINT.
The great white flash from the
explosion was seen throughout
the southwest and 500 miles
northwest at klamath Falls, Ore.
It also lighted the sky across the
Mexican border from San Diego,
Calf, and was sighted in Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake
City, Utah and Phoenix, Ariz.
The scattered little test city
here-it might be a suburb in
any part Of the United States
lay completely 'enveloped in dust,
some Of it radioactive, few min
uteS after the defamation. An
hour later Atomville still was
completely obscured from the
view of observers in News Mob,
eight miles back.
The shock wave, a jolting wal
lop unequalled by any previous
public test, hit observers in
trenches at $500 and $500 yards
and CTS and newsmen in tanks
at distance of only 3,100 yards.
It was felt as sharp earthquake
by neWSmen and other observers
on the Mob.
The dust pail filled all Of Yucca
Flat-20 miles long and 10 miles
wide within an hour and a
quarter after the blast.
Army tanks started to roll for
ward, skirting the area some four
minutes after the detonation. The
5OO-fOot tower was completely
vaporized.
Six women in a Civil Defense
trench and two others in an
Army trench, both at $500 yards,
withstood the blast. It was the
first time women had been in
trenches.
