There were fewer music and art teachers In the town' school In 1940 than in 1904. Scan Clvlo Needs. So, In 1942, there was held a civic clinic In the form of public meeUngs whereby more than 1.000 people helped to figure out what their town needed. Better housing, more adequate parks, auditorium, new hotel, airport, community center, physical wnd moral clean-u- p were on the list. It all spelled a job for a planning commission. Speakers were engaged for civic group meetings. Report of the talks were carried In local papers. The mayor named a commission. Members read good books and pamphlets for and employed the services of qualified architects. All the forces went to work for a New Castle that would give its people both the opportunity of an industrial city and the charm and ease of life in a small town." Foresee Future Growth. The progfam Is based on analysis of problems and outline of purpose. While some of It Is being carried out, the rest still is In the planning stage. With more than a dozen substanUal manufacturing firms to lta credit, the city looks to brisk business and growth In the years ahead. A place where parking facilities are adequate is being substituted for a business district where traffic jams the streets. Quarters that will permit good health and induce good citizenship are replacing blighted areas and local public works projects are part of a general scheme for community developments.

In the meantime, Adm. W. H. P. Blandy, commander of Operation has intimated that Crossroads, weather conditions may force a week's delay in the underwater test In Bikini lagoon scheduled for July Baker-day- " 25, which would make Aug. 1 or thereabouts. As has been pointed out, the weather for this second test need not be as perfect as for the first test when the bomb was dropped from a but it must be clear enough for aerial observation and photography. The press ship USS Appalachian has completed her trip to Pearl Harbor for minor repair and now is anchored with the rest of the maintenance fleet in Bikini lagoon, ready to pull out and cruise outside to the seaward side of the island when the time is ripe for the second test. Few Remain. 23 correOnly approximately spondents are left aboard the ship, since most of them returned to the States immediately after the first test. The pattern for the underwater test has been completed with the battleship Arkansas, which was barely blistered by the first test, and the carrier Saratoga, also undamaged as a result of the first bomb, almost equidistant and nearest to the proposed bomb burst. A little to the east are the battleship New York and the cruiser Salt Lake City. Both suffered negligible damage in the first blast. Then to the west of the two center ships are the cruiser Pensacola and the carrier Independence. The old Independence is merely a hulk in the water with her insides torn out and her topsides blasted away as result of the bomb and her own internal explosions. The Pensacola is undamaged below decks, but her superstructure is pretty well battered up as a result of the first tests, with both stacks blown away. Farther out in the circle are the battleships Pennsylvania and Nevada, the Jap ship Nagato and the German pocket battleship Prinz Eu-geJust forward of the Arkansas and the Saratoga are several submarines which are submerged at various depths with the doublehulled Pilotfish almost as close to the center of the burst as the Arkansas. Lighter ships make up the balance of the target array. Opinions Vary. The effect of the bomb on these submarines is awaited with interest and in the meantime the discussion goes on as between those who predict this underwater blast will sink several capital ships including the submarines, and those who declare the damage will be negligible.

The plane sowed 40 to 50 feet in a swath Crr4l. Oceanographers, wha have made sack elaborate plans te measure effects of the bomb, will come Inte thrlr ewn en this second test. There was little for them te measure as result of the first test since the bomb made no appreciable waves and did no damage te the eceaa bed, beaches or the island. However, this second test is expected to create high waves in the lagoon, anywhere from 10 feet up. There are 81 officers and men in this section of the task force, most of whom have been In the vicinity of Bikini since last March recording data on the physical oceanography, biology, geology and fisheries of the atoll and surrounding waters. Measurements of wave motion in terms of time, height and distance, their effect on the sea bottom and on the beaches, fall into three classes supersonic echo sounding devices, and aerial and surface photography, plus maximum water height recorders on Bikini island and water level meters on several other Islands of the atoll. There are supersonic echo sounders or fathometers on 16 ships in the target array which will record large waves through the rise and fall of the ships, while 11 supersonic echo sounders on buoys will record passage of shorter waves. Mechanical pressure recorders laid 500 yards apart on the bottom of the lagoon are capable of recording wave height in range from 4 to 200 feet. i Animals Still Dying. of this radio acThe after-effectivity is impressive as seen from the effects on the live animals placed aboard the ships, some of which still are dying despite treatment, three weeks after they were exposed to the first bomb. As the first task force awaits on the eve of this second test one cannot help but conjecture upon the possible effects of this unpredictable and still unknown terrific nuclear force which can decimate entire cities and depopulate nations as has been amply demonstrated at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The first test proved beyond any doubt that the bomb was not as effective in the open space at sea as it is when detonated over ts areas on land . . . that used against naval bases on land it could render a fleet at sea impotent, but that it would put out heavily-populate- d of commission a good many ships if they were in close formation and of life aboard these ships would be terrific. What effect this atomic energy will have on the future of the American navy as to ship construction and operations now, however, lies in the laps of the military evaluation board and the Presidents atomic energy commission, both of which are making a study for future guidance.
