He said, however, that "any-

Missing by a few yards-as
IA matter of fact by 1000 yards
doesn't make much difference
with the kind of weapons we
have today" the General added.
(The H-bomb missed by some
1000 yards.)
The Air Research and Devel-
opment Command told The Star
that the man who dropped the
H-bomb four miles short was
Maj. Dwight Burner. senior
bombardier of the 4925th Test
Group. He has served in that
unit for more than five years.
Rather New Mechanism
Pilot and aircraft commander
Of the big jet plane was listed
as Mai. David Critchlow; CO.
pilot, Mai. Charles Smith; wea-l

and timer, 1t. William Cayne.
Also in the plane was Col. Paul
Wignall, an observer. who was
attached to the 724th Air Task
Group of the Defense-AEC OPP
Grafton at Bikini.
Col. Henry Eichel of the ARDCI
said that the error was in the
manipulation of the bombing
mechanism-a relatively new
type and not the same as the
one used in the old B-36 bombers.
When a newsman asked Mr..
Quarles whether the error of
almost four miles would have
been serious under actual COM
bat conditions, he replied simply:
1.-THE arit h m tic is pretty
obvious"
He referred to the fact that
the area of total or major de-
struction by a midair burst of an
H-bomb of about 10 megatons
(equal to 10 million tons of
is estimated at about ~
miles.
The Secretary said that the
initial thinking" was not to
make any official announcement 4
regarding the error. This was
not to shield any error, but be-
cause it seemed wiser not to talk 4
about the subject, he said.

His statement came after Brig.
