Arty Navy Firetnen on ‘Aert In Case Atom Plane Crashes

By EDWARD L. THOMAS United Press Staff Correspondent EWAJALEIN ISLAND, June 25. -In case “Dave's Dream,” the superfort which will carry the.atomic| bomb, crashes during its takeoff and catches fire, army and navy firemen have been trained to snuff out the blaze in five minutes, Fire Marshal| Maj. Harry L. McMillen disclosed | today. Maj. McMillen said, “you might as. well be right next to the bomb as any other place on this small island if the plane catches fire. And you might as well run toward it as away and that is exactly what we will do.” Maj. McMillen, a Winona, Minn, army veteran of 29 years’ service, said that “everything is set to knock out the fire and resche the crew in five minutes. ‘Of course ev-

pigs, goats and rats. The idea, of, course, out what blast and radioactivity do to living organisms. Animal lovers insist this is brutal. They overlook the fact that pigs and goats are killed every day for food, and rats are a pest humanity has been trying to eliminate for centuries. They apparently ignore the fact that such knowledge of radioactivity ' may benefit the entire human race. At Hiroshima many who escaped death in the blast died days, or even weeks, afterward. Probably the most discussed case was that of Miss Naka, Japan's most beautiful and famous dancer. Dazed and shaken, she left Hiroshima, apparently only emotionally damaged but later blood began to seep through her unbroken skin, and she died.
