Defense Chief Volunteers
To Undergo Bomb Test
BY the Associated Press

PASADENA, Calf, Mar. 25.-
Pasadena's Civil Defense direc-
tor, Ted r. Smith, has volun-
teered to undergo a Nevada
atom bomb test in a home-type
shelter within a mile of Ground
Zero.
Somebody has got to try
these things out" Mr.. Smith said
yesterday after offering his serv-
ices to Stanley Pearson, acting
State Civil Defense director. Il
told Pearson that we needed to
get this thing out of the realm
of theory and get someone into
a shelter to see what would
actually happen"
About 2 miles is the closest
troops have been at any nuclear
explosion so far reported. II
they can do that in an open
trench, a mile should be all right
in a concrete shelter under 3
feet of earth" said Mr.. Smith.
He proposes to use shelter
developed by Civil Defense
Committee he heads. Its walls
are 8 inches thick.

BY diverting the flow of blood

MINNEAPOLIS, Mar. 25.-An

for Is crucial minutes during a
heart operation through a lung
which had been removed from a
dog and inflated to about the size
of a football.
Some details of the dramatic
operation on Calvin Richmond,

last night by doctors at Univer-

The boy was reported in salts

holes were closed in his heart
chamber Wednesday.
A short time before the three
hour operation began, the lung
was removed from the dog and
suspended in a plastic cylinder
6 feet from the patient.
When the operation reached
the point where surgeons were
to begin actual repair work on
the heart, the boys blood flow
was diverted by a mechanical

Non-Atomic Blast
SMILES Above Desert
Called Effects Test
By the Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, New, Mar. 25.-A
much-postponed major atomic
test shot was delayed again today
But strange, new sight was
revealed to observers at noon to-
day-a non-atomic defamation
high in the skies above the desert
testing ground.
Air Force planes laid intricate
smokelaying grids in the air
above Yucca Flat, for measure
ment purposes. Other planes
dotted the sky with smoke
bursts.
A high flying bomber dropped
the non-nuclear device to eX-
plode more than 5 miles above
the ground.
The non-atomic device was
a tiny blast in comparison to
the device. or the reason for the
smoke trail grid across the sky.
Said the Acc: 1T involves mill
tary effects studies by the Army
and Air Force"
The non-atomic device would
be a tiny blast in comparison to
the atomic explosion set for
sos am. (8:05 am. EST and
then postponed.
The major atomic blast -
originally set for March 14-was
estimated at so kilotons. A kilo-
ton is the power equivalent of
1000 tons of TINT. The Hiro-
shima blast was 20 kilotons.
1t was to be detonated on a
500-foot tower. When it comes it
will be the largest since the final
test of the spring tests of 1858.

He said it would benefit the coal

Better Cooperation
On H-Bomb Defense
Predicted by KiIday
By the Associated Press

Representative Kilday. Demo-
crat. of Texas. said today he ex-
poets better cooperation" in the
future between atomic energy
and civil defense officials as the
result of a one-day hearing yes
terday.
A House Atomic En-
ergy subcommittee which Mr..
Kilday heads heard Civil De-
Tense Administrator Val Peter
son testify yesterday he is now
receiving adequate information
from the Acc to plan the de-
Tense of American cities.
Mr.. Kilday said Mr.. PeterSon'S
testimony earlier before a Senate
subcommittee had indicated he
was not getting enough informa-
ton and consequently the atomic
energy group wanted to know
why.
Perhaps just the fact that we
haG scheduled hearing" MIR.
Kilday told reporter, was
enough to get them closer to-
gether."
Mr.. Peterson and Chairman
Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic
Energy Commission both testi-
fled there are now no undisclosed
secrets on the performance of
nuclear weapons that the public
needs to know in order to build
up civil defense.
Handicapped Last Year
Mr.. Peterson said civil defense
activities were handicapped for
several months last year because
he was unable to pass con to
mayors and other local leaders
the contents of secret documents
he had received concerning the
effects of radioactive fallout from
hydrogen bombs.
Mr.. Strauss said the Acc was
ready last November to release
a report on radiation results of
the 1854 H-bomb tests. But he
said unnamed other agencies
feared the announcement might
adversely affect certain interna-
tional situations.
Mr.. Strauss told newsmen later |
he could not remember what !
these foreign situations were, but I.
he sSid the agencies had agreed
when the document was finally !
published February IS At that |
time Mr.. Strauss revealed radia- |
ton from one H-bomb could ,
contaminate an area of 1000 |
square miles.
Death From Radiation Denied
The hearing produced these
other developments:
l. DR. John c. Bugher, the
Aces chief of biology and medi- |
cine, said a japanese Fisherman
caught in the fallout from the /
Pacific H-bomb died recently of |
jaundice, liver ailment, and not |
of radiation as the japanese first
claimed.
2. Mr.. Strauss and DR.. Bugher
said no information concerning
the medical treatment of radia-
ton injuries remains classified |
as secret.
DR.. Bugher told newsmen that |
the fisherman's death was mot |
directly related to radiation in
juries."
"At the time he died." DR.. |
Bugher added, che showed no
radiation injuries. His tissues
showed no persistence of radia-
ton materials"
He said Japanese pathologists |
had confirmed this finding and .
had told American officials they
intend publishing their studies |
soon. /
