AEC Denies Risks Taken i " In Latest A-Bomb Test LAS VEGAS, Nev. An Atomic Energy Commission spokesman said a published report that two unidentified atomic scientists said the lives of troops were risked in "guinea pig" atomic explosion tests was "absolutely not true."

Termed simple and practical for almost any classroom, the meter is calibrated by the teacher ac cording to the number of students in the class. Each student has his individual push button on his desk and can set the meter needle quivering. The professor, in turn, can determ ine the percentage of his class understanding his lecture. Prof. C. Albro Newton is hand ling the experiment for the en gineering drawing department. He says the meter is at its best when used consistently by the same pro fessor and class. It takes time, he says, for a class to get over the novelty of the idea and use the system conservatively. Is rim (Lt.

Chuck Hauser HIROSHIMA A stark monument sits in the center of the postwar rebuilding of this one-time A-bomb target to remind native and visitor alike that this was once the scene of the most dreadful release of power man has ever harnessed for use in warfare. The monument was not constructed: it was left. It is the : shell-like hulk of a once beautiful building which sat 150 meters away from ground zero the point directly under the 2,000-foot high atomic detonation. The building or what is left of it was the Industrial Exposition Museum. Its construction was completed in 1914 when the finishing touches were placed on its steep dome, a dome which is now an iron agony, of twisted steel arches supported by sagging, broken walls hanging over a rubble of brick and plaster. The dome, incidentally, was apparently what saved the structure from complete flattening, in spite of its proximity to the center of the blast. Buildings of similar size much farther from ground zero were squashed as if an immense piledriver had crashed down upon them.
