U. S. Will Make
New Atomic Bomb
Test Explosions
(Continued from Page One)
sian submarines or airplanes to
steal close enough to the atoll to
make some technically useful ob
servations.
Russia now has produced her
own atomic explosion. Scientists
here believe that Soviet bombs
are far behind the new and vastly
more powerful designs developed
by the United States.
Apparently no foreign visitors,
friendly or unfriendly, are want
ed at Eniwetok for the forthcom
ing tests.
The announcement said “full
security restrictions as required
by the atomic energy act apply to
all aspects of test preparations,
including the time of the tests.”
This was interpreted in some quar
ters to mean that the rigid provi
sions of the atomic law, prohibit
ing transmission of secret data to
any foreign power, would mean
that Britain and Canada wouldn’t
be invited to send observers.
Up to now the United States
has exploded eight atomic wea
pons. Two of them were dropped
in wartime on the Japanese cities
of Hiroshima adn Nagasaki, the
others exploded in the initial at
tack test at Almagorda. N. M., in
the 1946 tests at Bikini and at Eni
wetok.
WASHINGTON, i/P)—Presiden
tial adviser John R. Steelman said
Friday that the government is
spending more than ever before
on scientific research, surpassing
even • its wartime expenses for
that purpose.
Figures offered by Steelman
and others speakers at a science
industry meeting indicated that
the government and private inter
ests together are spending at the
rate of almost $2,000,000,000 a
ygar for scientific research and
development work.
FRENCH VS. U. S. WINES
HOLLYWOOD. </P) — There m
room for both French and Califor
nia wines on America’s dinner
tables, says Ernest Des Baillets, a
vintage connoisseur. France has
yet to be surpassed in making
“really fine’’ wines, but it can't
compete with lower cost wim«
produced in the U. S.
Des Baillets expressed these
views after returning from a 23
day tour of such French vineyard
areas as Anjou, Touraine, Bor
deaux, Cotes-du-Rhone, Alsace.
Champagne and Cognac. Fine
French wines are tops, he said, be
cause of differences in climate and
soil and the more personal supet
vision of the product. Des Baillet*
added that contrary to some ex
ports. the Germans did not take
the best wines out of France.
Land bridges probably once ex
isted between Eurasia, Afrie«,
Australia und the Americas.
