RusSia's 58-megaton bomb
blast last October 80 equalled
and may have surpassed moth
er natures greatest known
blast. the Krakatoa explosion
of 1888. in effects on the at
mosphere.
This was reported yesterday
by DR.. Harry WeXler, chief
scientist of the United States
Weather Bureau.
And he said disturbances
temporarily propagated in the
atmosphere by Russia's super
bomb greatly exceeded those
caused by natures second
ranking atmosphere-shaker -
the impact of the great meteor
ite in Central Siberia in June,
1908.
Even Russia's 25 megaton
blast of October % may have
outdone the Krakatoa upheaval
in such effects, and it certain
ly surpassed the Siberian
meteOrite, DR.. WeXler indl-
Gated.
Pressure Waves Described
The scientist spoke at the
annual meeting of the Ameri-
cali Geophysical Union. His
report was co-authored by re-
searcher w. A. Hass, also of
the Weather Bureau.
DR.. Wexler made the COM
parsons after he and a Cali
fornia scientist had described
for the first time the great
pressure waves produced in the
atmosphere by megaton-range
bombs. One megaton is the
equivalent of / million tons of
INT.
The reports brought out that
pressure waves. up to 100 miles
high and measuring up to 100
miles from crest to crest. sped
through the atmosphere at an
average speed of nearly 700
miles an hour after the nuclear
energy was looSed in the earth's
atmospheric envelope.
In the case of the two big
Russian explosions at least. the
waves ran around the globe
several times.
BY implication, both DR.. Wex
Ter and DR.. Frank Press, direc-
tor of the California Institute
of Technology's Seismological
laboratory, suggested that the
same phenomenon would be re-
peated in the current series of
United States nuclear tests.
Some of these are expected TO
range as high as 10 megatonS.

that about half of the energy
of the October 80 Russian
58-megatonD explosion was re-
tanned in the atmosphere in
the form of shock waves. these
two events were comparable
in their effects on the atmos-
pneIe.'
Dr.. Press. the seismologist,

of the secrecy. and pressure
began to build to have the
program declassified. This was
accomplished only a few days
ago.
Anna was originally classified
becauSe-in the words of the
fact sheet-"It was feared that
the output of the program. in
addition to being of a scientific
nature. might be of critical
military significance" Geodetic
satellites of the Anna type
eventually will be used for pre-
else mapping of the earth and
the establishment of accurate
distance measurements between
various points.
In ad dition to flashing
beacon lights, the satellite will
carry radio equipment which
also can be used for tracking
the satellite. The primary
radio system will be Inter
rogated" only about six or
seven times a day, and the
beacon lights will be turned on
for no more than 20 flash
sequences a day, with five light
flashes in each sequence. Pow
er limitations were given as
the reason.
Participation Questionable
Exactly how much world
wide participation in Anna will
be possible remained question
able.
THE highly complex ground
Instrumentation necessary to
accomplish the interrogation
and measurement functions,
coupled with the limitation on
power available for the trans
: ponder. renders this system un-
available to the scientific COM
munity," the fact sheet said OF
the primary radio system.
Of the secondary radio sys-

say:

And concerning the beacon

Anna" has been under De-
fense Department wraps for
several months. Yesterday a
Navy officer delivered a tech
nical paper on Anna at scien-
tific meeting and the Pentagon
press office published a fact
sheet" on the program.
"A review of the rogram
and it's expected results has
been made and the classi-
fication has been removed" the
fact sheet said.
Unrevealed Details
Still officially undiscloSed as
mot releasable" are the fol-
lowing details about Anna:
It's size (reportedly it will
be about a yard in diameter
and will weigh in the neigh
borhood of $50 pounds.
Its launching vehicle, "a
Thor-type rocket would be large
enough to do the job.
Its launching site (the fact
that it is to go into an orbit
inclined to the equator at a
50-degree angle indicates it will
be launched from Cape Can
averal. Fla.
Its launching date (probably
early next week..
Although the Pentagon would
not divulge these facts, it was
learned authoritatively that
these, along with other bits OF
information about Anna, have
been removed from the secret
list.

Boost of SIS Million
Asked in Disaster Aid

The Office of Emergency
Planning has asked Congress
to boost its disaster relief fund
by $25 million to speed aid to
storm-battered coastal areas.
DEP aides confirmed this to-
day. Earlier. Senator Case, Re-
publican of New Jersey, said he
understood Federal disaster re-
lief planners would seek that
amount. which he labeled "un-
realistic" He said the supple
mental request should be
tripled.
New Jersey was one of the
coastal States hit by last weeks
gripping storm, in which high
seas driven by a o-5O-knot
easterly gale smashed seashore
resorts from Long Island to
Cape Hatteras. N. C.
An DEP spokesman this
morning announced that the
supplemental request for $25
million in disaster assistance
funds was sent to Congress
after being approved by the
Bureau of the Budget yesterday.
Disaster Areas
Meanwhile, President Ken
needy today designated as
major disaster areas the
coastal sections of New York
and North Carolina. The de-
signation makes the areas
eligible for Federal aid in
restoring public facilities.
Storm-hit areas of New Jer-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-16

sey, Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia had been made eligible
earlier.
House Appropriations Com
mittee members said today
they do not expect Mr.. Ken
nedy to request appropriations
to finance the 1856 Flood In
surance Act and provide fl
nancial help to storm-battered
East Coast residents.
If he does, they added
privately, they will oppose the
request.
The 1856 act still is on the
law books but Congress has
refused to finance it. Enacted
after devastating hurricanes, it
provided fora program of Gov
ernment-backed storm insur-
ance and long-term loans.
Urges Speedup
Edward A. McDermott, DEP
director, has urged Federal
agencies engaged in the task
of making detailed storm dam
age estimates to speed up the
process. He indicated that &C
celeration of the surveys should
enable DEP to make prelimin-
airy ALLEGATIONS of relief funds
to specific areas early next
week.

requests for Federal aid, mean
