Many Seattleites
“Killed” In Mock
A-Bomb Attack
I ♦ » • ....
SEATTLE, {IP)—Seattle under
went a simulated underwater atom
bombing today and the city’s de
fens board immediately began
planning methods of coping with
the situation—including some 14,
000 theoretical casualties.
Two theoretical atom bombings
were planned for Seattle by the
national security resources board.
A similar situation was set up for
Chicago and Washington.
The mock attacks were devised
to afford the defense boards an
opportunity to enumerate recovr
ery measures to be taken in the
event of actual bombings.
Seattle’s defense board will
spend an entire week on its de
fense plans. Results' of the studies
received from the three cities will
be used in compiling a manual
for national distribution.
Theoretically the first bomb was
exploded underwater off Harbor
Island in Elliott Bay at 6:50 a.m.
The second, an aerial bomb, will
be exploded later today.
CASABLANCA, French Moroc
co, (/P)—Twenty-one persons were
killed in the crash of a * French
passenger plane soon after it took
off from Casablanca airport yes
terday.
It was the fourth French air
crash in less than a month and
brought to more than 100 the
number of dead in those disasters.
Volcano Appears
In & W. Alaska
ANCHORAGE, {£>)—A new vol
cano was bom last week in tbe
white snows of Knife Mountain
near the famed ‘Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes.”
Hay Peterson, president of
Northern Consolidated Airlines,
reported the new crater when he
returned from a fishing trip to
Katmai national mounment on the
Alaskan Peninsula.
The mountain slopes were un
blemished white when the party
flew oyer them July 1, Peterson
said. The next morning a dark
spot was sen against the snow
halfway up the 7,000-foot moun
tain. An exploratory flight led
I the party into sulphurous fumes
and they found ash from the erup
tion scattered over the nearby
Buttress Range.
Peterson said the crater had
widened to 200 feet and still was
belching dense black smoke when
last seen by the departing fisher
men.
