BY AL. LANIER

FLORENCE, S. c., Up - An
atomic bomb dropped accident
ally near Florence yesterday from
a B-47-but without the deadly
warhead that could have laid
waste this city Of 10000.
The bomb exploded from the
force of the TINT within it, COM
pletely SCATTERING all parts of the
bomb. There was a terrific ex-
plosion, but without the warhead
there was no nuclear blast.
Nobody was killed. Six were
hurt.
The Air Force, which allowed
newsmen and photographers into
the area today, again dispelled
any fear Of radiation which may
have occurred. A spokesman said
the area was checked last night

none seriously, when the bomb
landed 100 yards from the resi-
dence of Walter Gregg. The Gregg
home was shattered and six other
houses and a church were dam
aged. The blast left a crater so
feet wide and 20 feet deep and
scores of ShOrn pine trees,
The Air Force said several
larger pieces of the highly secret
bomb were carried off yesterday
by curiosity seekers before the
area was roped off. The Air Force
issued a plea that these pieces be
returned.
The Air Force officially de-
scribed the bomb as an "unarmed
nuclear device" 1t said the device
was released accidentally because
of 'malfunction of the planes
bomb lock system"
The Air Force said the remote
danger of radiation contamina-
ton could arise only from scat
tered nuclear materials.
In Washington, Rep. Rivers d
Sc said he would seek reStitu-
ton for damage occurring in such
mishaps.
''When they start dropping
bombs on South Carolina, it's ev-
erybody's business" he said.

Fire Completely Destroys
John McNees Residence
During Blizzard Yesterday

A fire destroyed the John Nc
Nees residence on Belmont PIT.
yesterday morning at about $50
during the blizzard which was
then raging.
At the time of the fire, it was
reported that Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Nees and son Roger, were on
their way to town, walking thru
the drifts.
Three fire trucks responded to
the alarm, two from town and
one from the CAA. The fire had
too much of a start however, for
the equipment to do any, good,
and the two-apartment residence
was complete loss.
At the present time it is be-
lieved the fire was caused by de-
fective heating equipment or
faulty wiring.
The building also housed the
office and shop for the Indian
Arts and Crafts Division Of the
Indian Service and used by Don
Burlison, who lost tools, personal
effects and supplies.

To Endure

SAN FRANCISCO, {NC)
The severe racial segre-
CATION policy that charac-

socio-political picture twill
endure for quite some
time" the Archbishop Of
Capetown said here.
Archbishop Owen Mccain al
so said in an interview that be-
cause of the increasing tensions
between the races, the next 10
years will be the most critical.
As for the Church in trou-
BLEED South Africa, the Arch.
bishop seid Catholics there
are doing . most eredifable
Job, but they need help from
the outside.
''The history of the Church is
one long story of foreign aid:
the Church in one place helping
the Church in another place."
he said. even England and
Ireland had to be evangelical
from abroad"
The visiting prelate said that
Catholics bear their greatest
burden in education. A year ago
the government of the Union
withdrew its subsidy from mis-
sion schools, most Of which ed
ucated non-whites.
The South African Bishops.
said Archbishop Mccann, ap-
peaied for help. 1.-THE answer
was a generous one - SUBJ
seription to . drive aimed at
saving the Black schools. The
response came mostly from
white Catholics - who shout
dered the burden over and
above the support Of their
own school system"
He said that all of South
IAfrica's four Archbishops are
natives of South Africa. There
are some 1000 nonwhite clergy
and nearly 1000 colored Sisters,
he said.
In the ~predominantly native
areas, he declared, native art
forms are used in the churches
and hymn singing in the native
tongue is probably the most adj
vanced of the primitive cultural
expressions.
Archbishop Mccain said that
the question of color and gov
eminent policy is being discuss
ed by men of different racial
backgrounds, but the talks so
far have been confined to an in
tellectual minority. Neverthe.
less, he sees such discussion as
a good sign.
"The people of South Africa
will have to work out their
problems in a Christian way
he stated, ''but they will need
help from the rest of the world
too"
