U. 5. May-Fire
Biggest A-Shof
Beneath Earth
By the Associated Press

A proposed underground nu.
clear explosion in Nevada might
be the most powerful ever SET
off beneath the earth's surface
at least. by the United States
an Atomic Energy Commission
official indicates.
Its explosive yield would ex-
coed the equivalent of 10000
tons of INT.
But John Kelly, head of the
commissions Division Of Peace
full Nuclear Explosives, de-
clined to say exactly how pow
erful the blast would be. Nor
would he say at what depth II
would be touched off.
The Acc and the Defense
Department have said only
that plans are under study fol
q "few nuclear detonations" ir
Nevada and that would include
some cloSe-to-the-ground at
mospheric shots and also some
underground explosions al
depths shallow enough to pro.
duce craters."
One Of the proposed under
ground blasts, called Project
Sedan" would be related to the
Aces Operation Plowshare. .
This is designed to explore
possible peaceful uses of nuclear
explosives, such as carving out
harbors and canals and the
production of steam for electric
power.
Mr.. Kelly, in response to a
reporters question, would say
only that the Sedan blast, II
conducted, would have an ex-
plosive yield exceeding that OF
the Blanca shot conducted
underground at Navada In Sep
TENDER, 1858. This is the largest
known underground blast by
the United States, and Russia
has not announced any under
ground explosions.
Blanca had a yield Of the
equivalent Of 10000 tons Of INT
and was touched off at q depth
Of 1856 feet.
The official declined to COM
ment on report that the shot
would have q yield equivalent
to 100000 tons Of INT and be
detonated at q depth Of 600
feet.

.BossIer Gets Another Shot
AT Big Boys In National PEA

Charley has had a Streaky his
tory before strangers.
The week before the Eastern |
Open he shot two very poor
rounds in the National Open
and failed to make the 36-hole |
cut. But in the 1861 PGA at |
Olympia Fields in Chicago he
shot 290 and tied for 2eth place. |
Yesterday, he said he feltl
confident after the way he
played in the Eastern and even
said he felt he could have done
betteFin the qualifier. He three
putted two green's in the sec
ond round, the fifth and 18th.
For BasSler it will be either
his sixth or seventh time in
the National PGA champion
ship-he's not certain which.
But his record Of qualifying
can't touch that of Romans.
Walter now has qualified IA
times in Is attempts. He made
It the first time in 1899. took
five years off for World War
II, and has missed only four
times since.
He played last year at Olym-
uia Fields, but missed the &C.
hole cut by one stroke.
First Try for Phillips
Neither Mullen nor Phillips
ever has qualified before and
Phillips made it in his first try.
He shot rounds of 70 and 70
and held faint hope that this
would be good enough. He felt
he had so little chance that on
the 18th green of the final
round he didn't bother much
with his second putt, missed
the cut and hree-putted. He
said he thought it would take
143 or better to make it.
This was the first time Phil
lips ever had laid eyes on Five
Farms, which is in marked
contrast to the other three
qualifiers. Romans. of course,
is the head pro there, Mullen
once worked as his assistant
and Bassler always plays well
there.
But even though Romans is
more familiar with the course
than anyone, he said yesterday
was the first time he played
the back tees since the State
Open six years ago.
None of the members ever
want to play them" he said.
Romans opened his bid with a
1-under-par SO, then shot a |
safe 70 In the afternoon. Null
len had a 70 in the morning
and 70 in the afternoon.
DOser, Clark Fail
Probably the biggest surprise
of the day was the failure of
Clarence Doser to qualify. A
perennial threat in these elimi-
nations, Doser, Of the WASH
|ingtonian Country Club, shot
73-75-148. Jimmy Clark, an
other favorite to qualify, said
he hasn't played for a couple
of weeks, then went out and
shot 74-79-153 and joined the
also rams.
The Bassler- Romans-Mullen-
Phillips quartet joins the auto
matte qualifiers from this area
Glare Emery, the Middle At
lantic PGA champion from the
Washington Golf and Country
Club; Chandler Harper of
Portsmouth, the 1850 National
PGA champion, and Billy Col

1861 PGA tour.
The scores:
