WASHINGTON iffi — A ban
against shipping and air traffic was
clamped today around Johnston
Island where the United States is

U.S. Uses High
Bombing Precision
In Pacific Tests
By Elton Fay
WASHINGTON UP1—High bomb
ing precision is reported to be indi
cated in preliminary data on the
opening phases of the the Pacific
nuclear tests.
The drop from an Air Force
bomber of a nuclear device on
Wednesday, first shot in the test
series, was described in some quar
ters as having been virtually per
fect, detonating at precisely the
aerial point which had been
planned.
Since the advent of the atomic
bomb in 1945, dozens of test devices
and actual bombs have been drop
ped by Air Force bombers, includ
ing the two combat shots on
j Japan.
With few exceptions, they have
been on or satisfactorily close to
the aiming point. Only two known
misses have been reported publicly.
In the 1946 series at the Marshall
Island proving grounds, an Air
drop from a B-29 exploded several
hundred yards wide of the target."
In 1956, a 10-megaton device drop
ped by a B-52 jet bomber was
almost four miles off the intended
bursting point.
However, in both cases, test of
ficials said the value of the tests
was diminshed only slightly.
The major disadvantage in such
inaccuracy results from the ar
rangement of recording instruments.
Cameras and electronic devices are
aimed in advance at the precise
intended point of burst to record
intricate details of the degree of
nuclear efficiency, burst, thermal
effect, radiation and other results.
If detonation occurs outside the
intended burst point, some data are
lost or reduced in quality.
Air drops in nuclear tests are
conducted under elaborately con
trolled conditions, most of which
would not be possible in actual
combat. Among other things, radar
and other electronic beam gadets
help in putting a bomber on its
exact course and final run to target.
Today’s youngsters don’t leave
foot prints on the sands of time—
just tire tracks.
