Atomic Bomb
Explosion Like
Earthquake
LOS ALAMOS, N. M., Aug. 8—
(IP)—The explosion of the first of
the new atomic bombs, in a test
conducted July sixteenth caused
earthquake like shudders for two
hundred fifty miles across New
Mexico and Arizona. The brilliant
flash startled a blind girl one
hundred twenty miles away.
The steel tower which held the
bomb was melted and vaporized
by the blast which gouged a huge
crater in the earth.
Scientists and military authori
ties observing the test from ten
miles away saw a ball of fire
many times brighter than the
midday sun and the surrounding
country was illuminated like day
for three seconds.
So terrific was the blast that
Associated Press in New Mexico
and Arizona received numerous
calls regarding the earthquake,
from as far as two hundred fifty
miles from the blast. After the
flash of light a massive cloud
formed which surged upward,
reaching the substratosphere in
five minutes.

International
Authority Must
Control Uranium
HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 8—(JP)
—Seizure and control of the
world’s supply of uranium, used
in making the new atomic bombs,
was advocated by H. A. Wilson,
one of the scientisst helping to
develop the bomb.
He describes the atomic bomb
as destructive almost beyond im
agination. He said ‘‘I think some
international authority should
take control of the world’s supply
of uranium to see that mastery
of the destructive principle of
atomic disintegrations does not
fall into wrong hands.”
