ing monuments
to our great Presidents, there
are many places where one
could spend days viewing
first-hand the documents
which played such prominent
roles in the early history of
this country. In this city can
be found a memorial to near
ly every great man and
period of achievement in
American history.
Particularly interesting
to students are such places
as the Library of Congress,
with its vast wealth Of litera-
ture; the National Archives,
where, in addition to other
valuable documents Of Amer
lean history, the original Con-
stitution of the United States,
the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and the Bill of Rights
can be seen.
OF no less importance is
the Smithsonian Institution,
whose numerous items of
interest include Lindbergh's
plane, replicas of Americas
great battleships, objects
bearing upon the life Of the
American Indian, and Skele-
tons of many varieties Of
creatures dating far back
into the past.
Every student can en-
hance his knowledge of gov
ernment affairs by visiting
the Capitol and watching the
Congress conduct the busi-
ness of the nation.
There is scarcely q sub
ject in the curriculum Of any
student which could not be
made more meaningful by
visiting WaShingtOn'S many
memorials or institutions.
And many students from all
over the country come to visit
each year.
Students in the Washing
ton area, however, have much
greater opportunities. They
need not content themselves
with a single brief visit. They
can return, again and again,
to develop increasingly full
understanding of the Signifi-
canoe of all these institutions
and memorials: the beauty,
the power, the courage and
the varied accomplishments
of the continuing American
experience.

Service, the Tribal Utility Author
ity and other agencies. Included in
the talks were various other as
poets of Civil Defense. Sam Day Ill,
Chairman said ''In the case of any
type of attack on this country, one
of the prime worries for the Nava-
jo people would be the problem of
food. Over 9O96 of the food eaten by
the NavajOs comes from off the Re-
servation We need storage space
of some type, so there will be
backlog of food on the Reser-
vation''. Also under discussion was
the po ossibility of an influx of
evacueeS from the west coast, or
closer, that would need food, shell
ter, medical care and other types
of assistance.
On the food storage problem,
was a discussion of an easily built,
no cost, fall-out type shelter. This
Shelter could be used for surplus
food storage in normal times. Until
a full study by experts is made, it
is assumed that the higher land on
the Navajo Reservation would be
reasonably free of fallout. This
would show the need for shelter,
but not the concrete, specially con-
structed type needed in lower ele-
vations. Plans for the shelter, if
approved, will be made available
soon.
Sam Day Ill was recently named
Civil Defense Co-Ordinator for the

Measurements Of
H-Bomb Told

1t developed perhaps a thous d
times greater yield than earlier
tests in 1852. Instruments were un-
able to record the force.)
Yet, Folsome said, by direct OBJ
servation he was unaware of any
greater magnitude and he had wit
messed the 1852 series as we'll.
INSTRUMENTS SET
Folsom and other scientists of
Scripps party set their mouse
traps"--instruments to snare ex-
plosion data--and sailed away from
Bihni. Folsom collected data on
underwater waves generated by the
explosion.
He said the ''hotel ship, Mil
itary Sea TransportationS vice
transport, withdrew perhaps rs
miles from the test site where the
bomb would explode in the pre-
dawn darkness.
He described the explosion in
the now classic terms of the rising
column and the mushroom top,
laced by eerily unreal coloring.
Folsom said he was surprised
repeatedly in the series by the
"ponderous slownes S S" of the
growing pillar, the duration of light
streaks and the palpable and Wis
ible shock waves that sped toward
observers with the speed of sound.
''We really didn't know how big
that explosion was," Folsom said.
1--WE didn't know for years.
''And I'll bet you the Ru S i a MS
bomb would not have impressed the
layman any more than the Bikini
explosion.
Folsom pointed out that explo-
sions differing by as much as fac
tor of two are difficult to compare
without Instrumentation.
Observing that fallout has to-
bogganed since America last
tests, as samples of seawater from
around the world have revealed in
his laboratory, Folsom said the
fall0ut curve is once more on the
rise.
''Bang!' he said, ''And now it
starts all over again.

visor of Window Rock, Martin Link,

On the agenda for this meeting
was the withdrawal of certain lands
on the Navajo Reservation for use
as Tribal Parks. This is in keeping
with the Tribal policy of prepara-
ti0n for an influx of tourists, and
with an aim to develop recreation
areas that will be available to those
tourists.
Under discussion is withdrawal
OF certain more of the Canyon de
Chelly area. Also under study was
the land at Marble Canyon Gorge,
west of Cameron, Arizona: Grand
Falls at Leupp, Arizona: the South
Shore of Lake Powell at Glenn Can
yon Dam: and the Kit Carson Mon
ument. east of Gallup. These areas
will be part of the vast recrea-

by Tribal leaders. They will con-
tain picnic areas, and other con-
venienceS for the tourist.

LA JOLLA. Calf. "A La Jolla
scientist who saw Americas big
gest H-bomb explosion has drawn
an awe-some comparison between
it and the latest Russian blasts
that are dropping f allout across
the world.
Americas biggest H-bomb ex-
plosion, March 1, 1854, at Bikini
atoll, has been described as IS
megaton shot. Russia's big blast
was reportedly 30 megatons.
DR.. Theodore r. Folsom, SEN
ior engineer at Scripps Institution
of Oceanography, said the megaton
is the handiest yardstick--anda a
pretty rough one--to describe the
explosion ourpit of thermonuclear
weapon or device.
TINT EQUIVALENT
Trying to put his comparison in
layman's terms, Folsom said the
megaton, of course, is the equiv
alent of a million tons of TINT. A
ton of TINT, or any solid of SINH
lar density. occupies about GU
bic yard.
Folsom pictured the TINT ton
mage involved inAmerica's biggest
shot as about equal to the cubic VOL
ume Of the us. Grant Hotel, plus
an additional 1OO-foot pile on the
roof.
To visualize the INT tonnage
in the Russian explosion, Folsom
said imagine a 3OO-fcot pile of ex-
'osives bounded by Market and B
streets, and First to 10th Avenues.
For a rule of themb in megaton
calculations he suggested one city
block to a megaton.
CLOSE AS POSSIBLE
Scientists can't get much clos
er, Folsom reasoned, when dealing
in power of such monStrouS pro-
portions.
