Air Force NoncommittoI
On H-Bomb Miss Report

Bikini last month missed the
target.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion had nothing to say.
Reports that the big bomb was
wide of the intended point of
burst in midair have become cur
rent in recent days. They ap-
parently come directly or indi-
rectly from persons who saw the
target point after radioactivity
had diminished in the area.
Speculation ON Error
Some speculation places the
margin of error in excess of s.
500 yards from the place above
Manu- Island where the explo-
sion was intended.
In response to a question, an
Air Force spokesman said:
1.-THE recent thermometer air
drop at Bikini was conducted
as scheduled.
"The Air Force considers that
the ability of the B-52 bomber
to deliver thermometer bomb
was demonstrated successfully.
Details Held Classified
Detailed information about
the distance and altitude of the
explosion in relation to the tar
get is considered classified (sec-
ret) information under the pro-
visions of the Atomic Energy
Act"
An error of even $500 yards
might not be serious in an actual
wartime drop OF such a weapon.
but under the precise conditions
set up for the Pacific test it
could be disturbing. Recording
instruments - cameras, pressure
recording gadgets, light analyz-
ling instruments - are oriented
carefully on the intended point
of burst. If the explosion occurs
elsewhere some vitality needed
information on the efficiency OF
the bomb is missed.
Lacking any definitive state
ment from the Air Force, a miss
could have come either from
personnel error or a malfunction
or misapplication of the ex-
tremely complex bomb sighting.

BY Abe Head

Robert Kintner, president OF

Congress today the way to break

Reorganization of
Civil Defense Is
Being Planned

A reorganization of the entire
Civil Defense set-up is being
planned so as to make it a more
effective group, it was announced
this week by Fred TichnelI, county
chairman
A meeting has been called for
the fire hall in Accident on Sun
day, October 21, at 2 o'clock, for all
fire companies in the county and
all other persons interested in
maintaining an up-to-date civil de-
fense organization.
Tichnell said there would be>rep-
resentatives from the civil defense
headquarters in Pikesville and rep
resentatives from some commune
cations companies.
He said the main purpose of the
meeting is to find what type of
supplies, etc, are needed in the
county to make a top working or
ganization and see what can be
done to obtain these materials
under the matching funds of the
organization, both Federal and
State.
Tichnell urged that sufficient
number of men from the fire COM
pany organizations attend the meet
ing, find out what they need, what
they can get and also to discover
what possibilities there are of set
ting up radio communications in
the county.
George Comp president of the
Allegany-Garrett County firemen's
association, has sent out cards to
all fire companies in the county
and they are being asked to fill
them in and return them as soon
as possible
Tichnell said that they were
planning am entire new directory
of the Garrett County Civil De-
fense organization and they are
urging that all members drop
card to the civil defense organiza-
tion, Box $50, Oakland, to state if
they are still interested in remain
ing an active member of the or
ganization, and what their status
in the organization is at the pres
ent time He said by doing this it
would save many hours of trying
to contact every individual con-
cerned
In the near future it is planned
to have a civil defense organiza-
tion in each community in the
county in order to be a more eff
fective group. He urged that every
individual give his assistance to
the ones who will be designated as
directors of these communities.

.Sybert Says Courts
Must Decide Case

The legality of a paper ballot
vote in the November election in
this county must be left up to the
courts, according to a statement by
c. Ferdinand Sybert, attorney gen
eral of Maryland.
The Garrett County Board of
Election Supervisors voted TO use
paper ballots after that board and
the County Commissioners could
not agree on the type of voting ma
chine to buy
A law passed in the 1856 General
Assembly makes it mandatory to
use voting machines in the NoVem-
Der 6 election. However, there is
an escape clause" in the measure,
the bill stating that paper ballots
may be used in the event OF
emergency or other unusual cir
cumstance.
Sybert said that federal cleo
tions are conducted on state regu-
lations and the matter Of legality OF
paper ballots in face of the word
ing of the voting machine bill would
have to be decided by the courts, he
declared. He noted that the main
issue in the Garrett county test
case would be:
is inability to agree to be con
