Weapons Highly Complex


The complexity Of nuclear
weapons was made clear despite
close secrecy restrictions.
"Our (electric) switches are
reliable" a briefing officer said.
Some are unique; some cannot
be closed by personnel; some
are inaccessible; they are many
in number.
Some may be in the weapon,
and some in the machine that
carries the weapon.
Some are closed before
launch; some after the weapon
is in trajectory"
The possibility of an acci-
dental takeoff of a missile, or
the kidnapping" of an atomic
bomb by the pilot of a single
scatter plane, was entirely dis
counted.
Biggest Danger is INT
With these safeguards, the
DASA officials said, "the great
est hazard when an atomic
weapon is involved in an acci-
dent is a high explosive explo-
sion."
Tests of "vulnerability," in
volving dropping nuclear bombs
from airplanes. setting them
af1re and otherwise misusing
them, have been conducted for
many years and are still going
on.
The DASA officials said that
if an accident involving a nu-
clear weapon occurs nearby, the
best thing is to get at least
l 500 feet away as quickly as
possible. This is the area over
which debris might be scattered
if the weapons TINT were to
go off
A-ROckets at Some Cities
Most likely exposure of the
public would be from the Nike
Hercules atom-headed anti
aircraft rockets such as ring
many of Americas major cities,
including Washington.
In event of a TINT explosion,
the atomic material probably
would be scattered in tiny par
ticles. Although not dangerous
outside the body, these could
cause serious injury if breathed
in or swallowed. The particles
might be expected to be car
ried downwind as much as a
mile.
DASA officials emphasized
that the atomic debris from an
accident like the one at Nc
Guire should not be confused
with "fallout."

Chains of Problems
Reactor technology turned
out to be almost unbelievably

wake one or more new ones.

or psychos who might try "de-
liberately" to set of a bomb.
Concealing safety switches in
"hard-to-get-at places" is a
prime safeguard. Some of the
switches are placed so it would
be necessary Ito pull the bomb
apart" to deactivate them.
A second anti-sabotage step
is to have two or more sepa-
rate controls operated inde-
pendently," and against a pos
sible insane act is the provi-
sion that two or more quail
fled persons of approximately
the same technical level of ex-
perience be present when ac-
cess to the weapon is permit
ted"
Safeguards on "BOners"
Human error-the "bonehead
play"-has three other safe
guards:
l. Switches on all atomic
weapons are locked or sealed
in the safe" position, so that
some positive, purposeful ac-
tion must be taken to throw
them.
2. Redundant" controls-of
which two or more must be
manipulated to do a single job
are provided.
8. Two skilled technicians
must be present to check on
the correctness Of each others
work.
Adequate security Of weapons
while in storage is provided by
physical restraints" such as
fences, restricted access, and
alarms. In operational areas,
armed guards are added.
Security checks on all per-
sons working with nuclear de-
vices go on continually. Also,
efforts are made to Gull out
individuals who might be sus-
pected of psychological weak
ness" a DASA official said. He
explained later that no extreme
psychiatric examinations were
employed, but that doctors kept
close watch on trainees In
atomic units.

his l5-round fight Friday night

New York recognize Robinson
as the champion.
Robinson is not recognized
as champion by the NBA men,
bers which consider Gene Full
mer of West Jordan, Utah, as
champion.
Today will be Robinson's
final workout before the fight.
He explained he's developed
that system in his late years
otherwise the body takes too
much abuse. Formerly, Robin
son worked right up until the
day before a fight.
Robinson, who will be 40
years old next May 3, is a
decade older than his chal-

Gunse| Appears Assured
Of Selection as NIL Head
Leuhy's Refusal
To Leave Coast
CooIs Buckers

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. 10
(AP).- National Football
League owners took time out
today to sharpen their vocal
weapons in preparation for the
opening tomorrow of what looks
like a hot meeting, but one of
the major issues appears to
have settled itself without a
shot being fired.
The naming of a commits
sioner to succeed the late Bert
Bell was expected to be a major
item Of business. 1t still is, but
the controversy over candidates
apparently has been eliminated
with Acting Commissioner Aus
tin H. Gunsel due to get the Job
without opposition.
This became apparent last
night when Marshall Leahy,
San Francisco attorney, said
he would not move from that
city. He and Gunsel were the
only two mentioned seriously,
and it was reported that the
West Coast lawyer had the
support of five owners, and
Gunsel seven.
Leahy Leaves LOophole
However, even Leahy's back
ers had said they would not
approve of a commissioner
with headquarters in the Far
West. as 10 of the IL league
teams are east of the Missis-
sippi. so his refusal to come to
the East or Midwest because
of family ties-he has five
teen-age daughters - appar-
emily eliminated him from con-
sideration.
So unless a dark-horse can
didate emerges suddenly, or
Leahy changes his mind, the
new commissioner will be
Gunsel.
Leahy left a loophole to the
effect that he would listen to
talk of my being commissioner
If they will let me establish
headquarters in San Fran
CISCO" but there appeared
small chance of such a con-
cession.
