BIKINI EVACUEES MAKE ANOTHER MOVE. ..Evacuated from Bikini atoll when the U. S. armed services were conducting 'Operation Crossroads' with the atomic bomb, these Bikini natives lived for the past two years on the island of Rongerik. They found conditions unsuitable, however, and asked to be moved. Here, some of them are leaving a ship at Kwajalein, their new home. Apparently Ap-parently each move they make brings them a step closer to civilization. In contraat to their former habit, all now wear clothes. Kwajalein is to be only a temporary home for these Pacific nomads until a permanent one can be found.
