Underwater Atom Blast Is Set For Wednesday (Special to The Mountaineer) ABOARD USS APPALACHIAN OPERATIONS CROSSROADS. Second or Baker test of the atomic bomb in Bikini lagoon, now tenta tively set for July 25, July 24 in America will be like dynamiting fish in a pond. Lacking will be the glamour of the army air force and precision bombing as the whole thing will be a navy show. The bomb will be submerged some 75 feet beneath the surface in about 30 fathoms of water, 180 feet, and detonated in the midst of the target fleet, which is being regrouped to meet new conditions of the test. This second test also will lack the drama of the bomb burst and the atomic cloud, which is characteris tic of atomic bombs exploded in air. What is likely to happen is that the intense heat will generate steam in the water and the terrific force will expend a part of its energy in a waterspout with a cloud of steam and vapor shooting into the air. In tent of this test is to measure force of atomic enerfiy uoon the hull structure of naval ships spaced at various distances from the center of the explosion. Subs to Submerge There will not be the visible dam age which was inflicted wholly upon the topsides or superstructures as in the first blast. Since there is to be no ship placed directly above the point of blast, the prediction is being made freely that no capi tal ships will be sunk, although lighter craft may be capsized. An other feature of the second blast (Continued on Page Six) Old Law Keeps Wine, Beer Shops Out Of Clyde "The Town of Clyde is one community that s protected against the inroaus of the beer and wine shop," said W.
