Atonic Blast Like
“Earthquake”
LAS VEGAS, Nev. <ff) — Con
cussion from another atomic blast
some 75 miles away hit this
southern Nevada city Saturday
with the force of an earthquake.
It shattered a glass window in
a downtown department store and
brought a flood of calls from
alarmed citizens to police.
One observer on a downtown
street said:
“Windows in the big stores
bulged in and out like balloons. I
though they were all going to go.”
It was the first damage reported
here in the series of shocks.
The fourth atomic flash in less
than a week lit up the pre-dawn
sky'with noontime brilliance and
was visible in a radius of more
than- 400 miles throughout the
west. It was reported seen as far
away as the San Francisco Bay
area.
Brilliance of the light and the
force of the explosion, which
rocked downtown buildings,
touched off new speculation about
what the atomic energy commis
sion is testing at its big new range
in the desolate desert northwest
of here.
The AEC, as customary, con
fined itself to confirming that a
test had taken place.
Most witnesses agreed that to
day’s concussion came in three
waves—a small one, then two
with stiff, jolting punches.
As dawn broke, darkish brown
clouds were visible in the clear
morning air in the direction of the
range. They were stretched wide
ly across the horizon in a sort of
cirrus pattern.
Both the flash and.the concus
sion Saturday seemed to last
longer than in either of the three j
previous tests.
Boston Quads
“Doing Fine”
BOSTON, (/P) — Boston’s first
quadruplets in 25 years were re
ported “doing well” Saturday
while their patrolman father, who
“hit the jackpot for 'babies but so
far not for cash,” was assured all
hospital and medical expenses
would be paid for him.
The quads—two boys and two
girls—were bom Friday to Mrs.
Robert J. Allen, wife of a Boston
policeman whose take-home pay
is $53.03.
They were placed in incubators
because of their tiny size. Doctors
there said the babies have “a won
derful chance.”
Anchbishop Richard J. Cushing
of the Boston Catholic Archdio
cese commemorated the birth by
devoting his weekly radio broad
cast to it.
While the five-foot three-inch,
31-year-old Mrs. Allen listened
in, the Archbisrop said:
“If police commissioner Sulli
van and Boston’s Finest don’t pay
your entire medical and hospital
expenses, send the bill to me.”
Then, again directing his re
marks to Mrs. Allen he said:
“Relax. Have a good night You
have given the greatest event that
happened in this country today.
This is your day. I’ll make a per
sonal visit to you over the week
end.”
A radio had been placed at Mrs.
Allen’s bedside so she could hear
the broadcast.

this year was reached at a meet
ing of representatives of the Sen

The eight members decided that
there was a lack of interest in the

PHILADELPHIA, (/P) — Presi

is good reason to hope” another
world war can 'be avoided “if we
can get over the present crisis suc

| But the United States, Mr, Tru
man added in a speech here, “can
not lead the forces of freedom
from behind.”
The job in hand, he said, is to
“restrain aggression before it
bursts into another world war.”
He said, “I think we can do this.
We can’t be sure, of course, but
there is -good reason to hope <forj
success.” He pointed to the next]
few years as probably the most!
