Atomic Date Book By Joseph L. Myler

WASHINGTON,” "Aug. 13 (UP)--The Atomic Energy Commission hopes its next nuclear bangs in Nevada won't break 30 many windows and excite so many people, Presumably, being a highly security-conscious agency, it also hopes they will be somewhat less noticeable than the five atomic test blasts of last winter. The unearthly light of those explosions illuminated the night sky 500 miles from the test site. People 250 miles away felt the shock of at least one of them, For windows within 100 miles, the tests were a shattering experience. Wo oa ee SCIENTISTS BLAMED the great some of these affects on the weather. plan to do something about it. day, they will set off some non-atomic high explosive blasts which, they expect, will give them a better understanding of the curious influence exerted on shock waves by weather conditions at the proving ground. With that knowledge they hope to he able to schedule future atomic tests on dates when the weather is such that what happens won't make {tself seen and felt so far away, No times have been announced for the next nuclear explosions in Nevada, but the JAEC has said new tests are in’ the Works.

FOR THE NEXT WEEK'S non-nuclear experiments, sensitive . instruments and portable weather stations are being set up at several localities in the vicinity of the proving ground. From what these instruments and stations report, scientists expect to be able to calculate more fully than ever before the relation hetween freak blast effects and certain atmospheric conditions. As the AEC put it: “The purpose is to obtain detailed meteorological data for anticipating almospheric during test operations and to study

of temperature inversion and upper air winds on blast waves.” .

TEMPERATURE INVERSION is what happens when the atmosphéric temperature, which has been falling with increasing altitude, reverses itself and begins to rise, If the “inversion layer” is at a fairly low altitude, it sometimes focuses shock waves in such a way as to extend their destructive range far beyond normal. Low speed surface winds and ‘high atmospheric pressure contribute to this extension of range. Just such weather conditions prevailed at the time of last winter's Nevada blasts, Plate glass store fronts were shattered at Las Vegas, some 70 miles from the test site, and ordinary window glass was smashed in several smaller communities in the region. One atomic thunderclap was felt as far away as l.os Angeles.

THE WINDOW-SMASHING range of “the World War II A-bomb-—equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT--was only eight miles under normal atmospheric conditions. The power of the weapons tested in Nevada has never been disclosed. But AEC Chairman Gordon Dean has said they were smaller than the tremendous blasts set off at Eniwetok last spring. At least one of the Wniwetok explosions was a giant A-bomb designed as a “trigger” for the still-to-be developed hydrogen super bomb. It's destructive range might be three or four times the wartime model's. The Nevada tests are believed to have been of atomic warheads for guided missiles or artil-

lery shells, Dean has hinted that their energy release wag no greater (and it may have been less) than that of the “nominal bomb” of 1945.

It was just the weather that made it seem so much greater.

NAIROBI, Aug. 13—You gee before you a

fellow filled with dread. The dread comes of having to go back home, back to bad news, back to confusion and taxes and all the other modern conveniences unknown to the simple savage. One week end in Nairobi, after we have limped back on our wounded vehicles, is enough to send

me off on safari tomorrow—if only I had the time and the money, It turns out I prefer monkeys to people, and there is nothing in the jungle so awesome as the snort of a charging taxicab. As for communications During some six weeks of being lost in. the buzh, we cut the radio on exactly once, in order ta receive a special broadcast concerning some: spare parts for Jessica the Jeep. There was a routine. warld news broadcast going on, and we awitched off the radio in horror. You never heard so much assorted trouble in your life.

THAT NIGHT the hyenas sofinded especially friendly, as they giggled and whooped and fought outside camp. There was an old lion over behind the next hill, grumbling about the cold, and he sounded like an old friend. Even the bugs that tartuwa yay seemed to have new eansideration in their bites — at least they quit biting on ow wounds.

There is nothing in a jungle that isn't tolerant -

No Tax Deduction—

Dog Costs More To Rear Than Baby

By R. K. SHULL

It costs $12.91 more a year to rear a dog than a baby, | That's providing - the dog is

all the big dogs and raise babies, nor, consz2quently are you advised to drown your babies and rear small dogs in the interest of economy. This is merely a statement of fact. Some of the factors in this comparison are variable; for instance

the cost of clothing a baby is about $27.80 each year, whereas the dog Is endowed with a beau-

titul fur coat at birth, You might value this form-fitting, toe-length model at $100, but It's doubtful if the dog would part with it for price, Fiend for Good Again, the dog is a fiend for fine cuts of beef, while the baby gurgles over such delicacies as ctrained liver and: gooey c¢onglomerations. of ,car rots and peaches, Babies cost
