Las Vegas Calls A-Flash Brightest Seen So Far
By United Press
LAS VEGAS, Nev., May 7—An atomic device was detonated atop a steel tower before dawn today at the Atomic Energy Commission’s Yucca Flat Proving Ground. The nuclear device was fired at 7:15 a. m. (Indianapolis Time) at the top of a 300-foot steel tower, producing a flash far brighter than any seen in the 16 previous tests. The flash was so brilliant, in fact, that it awakened sleepers here, 75 miles southwest. The shock wave moments later rocked this gambling resort. As seen from here, the blast was 12 times as wide
at the base as any previous flash. No troops participated in the test today.
