Detroit Manufacturer
Under Federal Indictment
For Profiteering
\ DETROIT, f/P)—The re-sale to
the government for $43,502 of
tank support arms he bought as
surplus for $500 put a Detroit
man under federal court indict
ment. His alleged profit was 8,700
per cent.
The manufacturer, Kenneth C.
Heavlin, 34, was charged Satur
day with “concealing material
facts” by failing to state in his
bid that the arms would be sur
plus instead of new. He did not
comment on the charge.
Heavlin was a witness here
last July in a congressional probe
into purchasing operations at the
Detroit Tank-Automotive Center.
He told them of favors to Center
employes.
Following the probe, the Cen
ter’s commanding officer, Brig.
Gen. David J. Crawford, was
transferred. Two employes were
reprimanded for accepting favors
from contractors.

Push Button War
i Has Short Circuit
| LAS VEGAS, Nev., (^—Push
button warfare just around the
j corner?
j Well . . .
The start of the latest atomic
weapons test was set back two'
days as scientists pushed a button
Friday to explode a nuclear mass
from the top of a 100-foot steel
tower, and nothing happened.
It took Dr. Alvin C. Graves and 1
his fellow Atomic Energy Com
mission scientists all day to find
and fix the trouble — a faulty
electrical circuit, one of thou
sands in the intricate mechanism
required to set off an A-weapon.
By tnai time tne scientists were
so tired that the nuclear series
opener was postponed until Sun
day morning, weather favoring.
Graves and Carroll T. Tyler,
AEC test manager, explained that
they and most of the workers at 1
the Yucca Flat test site had been
working 30 straight hours.
Meanwhile, it was learned re
liably that the troops phase of
the new experiment may ‘not
come up for at least a week. The i
AEC has said that soldiers are
not involved in the opening test.»
The fact that high AEC and De- !
fense Deportment officials had
not appeared indicates the his
tory-making tactical test is not
immediately forthcoming.
Meanwhile, the 5,000 GIs at
Camp Desert Rock are stiM wait
ing for their first atomic burst.
