Show Irltf UvZS Sell Flies Skynight Grace Theobald Bell sends word that her husband, Lt. Koss K. Bell, who is stationed in the Mediterranean Mediter-ranean with the Naval Air Force, has been flying a new and hitherto hither-to secret type jet plane known as the F-3D Skynight fighter. The Skynight is an all weather weath-er plane, equipped with new devices de-vices which locate, track and shoot down enemy aircraft even when the latter are out or sight in darkness or clouds. The pilot needs only to see that a small dot on his radar stays centered in a circle. The device then "locks on" the target and aims the guns. The enemy pilot may never see the plane that is shooting at him. The Blast The coverage of the atomic blast at Yucca Flat, Nev., by radio, television, 'press and newsreel made it possible for people all over the nation to witness the performance. Those In this section, however, enjoyed a unique advantage advan-tage over the big majority of the audience. Delta people had the opportunity op-portunity not only to follow the action by radio and TV, but also to see and hear it directly. If they didn't exactly have ringside seats, at least they had back row seats in the balcony.

He says it took twenty-two minutes min-utes for the sound to reach us. Local features of terrain affect the intensity of both TV and dri- rect sound and sight. At Oak City, for instance, the TV signals are relatively, strong, due to the fact that it is in direct "line of sight" with the telcasting towers on the Oquirrhs. The repercussions of real sound roll out with unusual force there, too, because of Oak City's proximity to mountains. Interestingly enough, the sound effects transmitted with the T V pictures reach us with the speed of light, while the real sound ambles am-bles along at the usual 700 miles an hour under its own power, and so gets here minutes later. A little lit-tle quick figuring indicates, in case anyone wants to know, that the direct flash of light requires about sixteen ten-thousandths of a second (.0016 sec.) to reach us. and it is a fair guess that the n tfTHtt CONCItlTI 01 I iinoj MOM e TO 14 I t TO 41 INCHES.

Because we are close enough to St'e and hear the experimental bombs, a few observations seem in order. "That was great wasn't it?" said an unidentified voice within range of the mikes just after the bomb went off. Somehow, it seemed that when he'd said that, he'd said it all. had been a Sreat show spec tacular, expensive, destructive. What, if anything, else? Had it been instructive? We do not know the individual motivations which impelled official offi-cial guests, reporters and observers observ-ers to go to Yucca, Flat to see the blast. Some may have felt a scientific interest; others may have wanted to see a super-duper display of fireworks; some, no doubt, were merely curious. If any went with the Idea of learning anything worthwhile, they must have been disaapointed. Laymen already knew pretty well what the bomb could do. As for the scientists, most oi the research is done in the laboratories. It is doubtful that even the CDA peeo-ple, peeo-ple, for whose special benefit the show was staged, really gained any important new knowledge Of the bomb's destructive potentialities. potential-ities. There are many lessons that mankind needs to learn, and the bomb revealed the need for those lessons In dramatic manner, but the appropriate lessons have been written for a long time, and we haven't learned them very well, and we may never learn them In time. Those- lessons are to be found in the works of great philosophers and statesmen; In the social and political sciences; in law; In the Ten Commandments and the Golden Gold-en Rule. Confucius, Plato, Socrates, Socra-tes, Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus to name but a few of the great teachers at random have all contributed their bits. But there really wasn't much for anyone to leam by watching the explosion in the southern Nevada Ne-vada desert that morning of Tuesday, Tues-day, March 17, 1953, as the radioactive radio-active cloud rose high in the air, seething and boiling and rolling itself Into the shape of the head of a great vulture. It was merely a great show. "God And The Atom" Back in 1950, Dr. Arthur Holly Compton, Chancellor of Washington Washing-ton University, in St. Louis, contributed con-tributed an article to the American Amer-ican Magazine entitled God And The Atom. Dr. Compton was one of the group on whom rested the decision deci-sion whether or not to drop the bomb on Japanese cities. The article arti-cle was an attempt to justify their decision. On reading it, 1 felt a sense of rising moral indignation. Dr. Comp ton blandly assumed Divine sanction sanc-tion for dropping of those bombs on defenseless civilians of a nation na-tion many American military leaders lead-ers considered already beaten. "I think that not only did God condone our act in dropping the bomb, but that it was with His help and inspiration that the job was done in time," wrote Dr. Comp ton. Since the bombs were used too late to have been of help in winning win-ning the war, that was the same as saying that God did not know certain facts which were known to American intelligence services, if not to Dr. Compton, at that time! Writing as one who has never been favored with any direct Divine Di-vine revelation, I'd say that when men decide to do such a thing as that they should accept full responsibility themselves and not try to place the blame on their God. Perhaps Dr. Compton's con-science con-science doesn't ever trouble him, but mine would if Td ever made that decision. I've long felt that who find it's...

Let's Gire The Bed Cross is out for both blood and money. Both are needed for humanitarian purposes, and whatever we think of the high policies which got us into the Korean Ko-rean war,- and of the conduct of that war, the fact remains that the little fellows who are doing the fighting and dying are not to blame for it They are the ones your gifts of blood and money will help. If the Red Cross finds my kind of blood acceptable next April 7, they can have some of it. How about you? The time is from 1 to 6 p.m., and the place Palo-mar Palo-mar hall. George Marshall expressed the need this way: "The instruments of war can be manufactured. Human Hu-man blood cannot be; and the lack of just one pint could mean the life of an American service man."
