There was little for them to meassre as result of the first test since the bomb made no appreciable wavrs and did no damage Is the ocean bed, bearhrs 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 cf wave motion in terms of time, height and distance, their effect on the sea bottom and on the beaches, fall Into threa 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 wavrs through the rise and fall of the shiiis, 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 fiom 4 to 200 feet. ' Animals Kiill Dying. The of this radio activity is impressive as seen from the effects on the live animals placed aboard the ships, some of which still are dying ilespite three weeks after tiny wire exposed to tiie first bon.li.

While squabble now going on in the congress as between civilian and military control of atomic energy, their single interest here is to complete successfully the important experiments on the possible damage which Bn atom bomb can do to a fleet at sea.
