Strict secrecy like that i'm

Published reports said an I'M

were expected from Fort Lewis,
Wash, over the week end to
prepare for the secret maneu-

of their type here since 1855.
On May 5 of that year a
28-kiloton device was exploded
atop a 500-foot tower and
manned tanks were sent into
the area to maneuver under
the resulting radioactive clouds.
Two years earlier, on March
II, 1858, a 16-kiloton device
wss set off on a 300-foot tower
while troops huddled in
trenches 2 miles away.

LAS VEGAS, New. July Z
(AP).-An eyewitness to the
most powerful nuclear blast in
the United States reports huge
chunks of earth shot Into the
air as if in a Roman candle. "
1T was quite different from
the usual air burst where you

Representative HoSmer. Re-
publican of California. There
was no mushroom cloud. 1t
was more like a plug of dirt
coming up out of the earth"
Mr.. HoSmer was the only
member of the Congressional
Atomic Committee to view the
100-kiloton explosion deto-
mated $50 feet below ground at
the Nevada test site, IS miles
north of Las Vegas.
There was a small amount

heat escaping. There was a
tremendous amount of dirt and
dust kicked up"
$4,000 Feet High
He said the dirt and dust
formed a dark gray cloud that
spread over the area and fl
nally reached a height of about
10000 feet.
THE base cloud continued
to expand" he said. Dust
was kicked up from a 4-mile
area"
The cloud was almost sta

MED that the strike was en-

DR.. Smith acknowledged that
the emergency medical service
had lost some doctors who
wanted to seek jobs outside the
province because of, "the ap-

But he expressed belief the
emergency service could be
maintained for an indefinite
period with the 200 or SC doc

Premier Lloyd was expected
back today or tomorrow from
his secret trip to Eastern Can

sought a prominent Canadian
leader to mediate the strike, but
government officials refused to
comment on where he went or
the nature of his trip.

NucIear War
IncIudesCities,
Russia Told
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara has let the Russians
know the United States has not
locked itself into a commitment
to spare Russian cities from
destruction in the event of a
nuclear war.
Informed sources said today
this was the import of words
Mr.. Mcnamara used yesterday
in answering questions about
his strategy which aims at con-
filming any nuclear weapons to
military targets, as much as
possible.
In a speech three weeks ago
at Ann Arbor, Mich, Mr.. Nc
Namara said the United States
has concluded that so far as
is feasible. principal military
detectives in event of nuclear
war should be destruction of
the eneKlys military forces, not
OF his civilian population"
He said I'VE are giving a pos
Sible opponent the strongest
imaginable incentive to refrain
from striking our own cities"
Flexible Strategy
At a news conference yester-
day, Mr.. Mcnamara stressed
the flexibility of United States
nuclear strategy and said: I'VE
have a force so large that we
can be certain that it can
absorb a full first strike by any
potential enemy and survive
with sufficient power to destroy
the military capabilities of
that potential enemy.
This permits us, should we
choose to do so. to apply &.
a strategy that would direct
the surviving force against
the military targets of that
potential enemy"
Then Mr.. Mcnamara added:
Il emphasize the words per-
NIT us however, rather than
stating that it would be neces-
sarily planned to be used in
that fashion"
This sentence raised ques-
tons as to whether Mr.. Nc
Namara was broadening the
terms Of his spare-the-cities-
strategy.
Sources familiar with Mr..
McNamara's thinking said the
Defense Secretary was telling
the Russians that the United
States is not ruling out a pos
sible strike at Russian cities
if such an attack is to the ad-
vantage of the United States
even if the Russians avoid
hitting United States cities in
a surprise nuclear assault.
The sources suggested the
United States is leaving itself
free to strike at Soviet cities
if, for example, the Russians
should start their massive
ground forces in motion to
overrun free Europe.
Keep Russ Gussing
In essence, It appeared Mr.
Mcnamara was seeking to keer
the Russians guessing-and tt
bring home again that thi'
country's nuclear might is grea
enough to deal the Russians 6
Furnishing blow if they launch
a surprise attack against thi'
country or its allies.
On other major points, Mr.
: Mcnamara:
: Said the effectiveness of the
Communist guerrillaS in South
Wet Nam has declined, but
cautioned it will be years be-
fore that war is won.
Said he has no evidence that
10000 North Wet Namese
troops, who backed pro-Com-
munist rebels in Laos, have
moved or will move into South
Wet Nam.
Indicated strongly he is
standing by his plan to stream
line the Army National Guard
and Reserves and that he ex-
poets the Governors will see the
need for planned manpower
and units cuts when "they have
an opportunity to fully ap-
praise" the Pentagon decision.
