He did not use the word as he did Oct 3 in announcing explosion of a seo ond bomb" within Rus sia Short summoned newsmen and said: atomic explosion has' occurred within the Soviet Union apparently as part Qf a test series "Of course there may be more such explosions from time to its Stalin Statement The announcement fitted into a statement Oct 6 by Premier Sta lin who said: testing of atomic bombs i of various calibers will be car ried out in the future according to the plan for our defense against the Anglo American ag gressive Word of the third explosion came in the midst of reports of 4 tiny atomic bursfon the flat of 'Nevada 'or tha most part that blast wts surrounded by secrecy altho It was s4t off under the same principle of bigger blasts a towerBut this one flared for only a tenth of a second or so Those In clfirge there th6 "desired scientific 1 data had been but refused comment on implication of the explosion Short would not say when the latest Russian explosion occurred adding is not in the national interest to say more than I have already The atom blast at Las Vegas signaled perhaps the start of a new atom weapon era 4 Although seen by observers on a mountain 50 miles away the flash was obliterated by the bright early morning sun in Las Vegas Itself To spectators it was a letdown 4 in contrast to the five brilliant flashes which lit up the desert sky in tests there last winter To scientists however it prob 1 ably was a bigger thrill than many previous larger I Smoke Mushrooms To control the atom 'and its fissioning so that it goes 1 without much more force than large artillery that would stand as a milestone In nuclear science One of the few men outside the AEC test site to see the tiny weapon perform was Joe McClain telegraph editor of thi Las Vegas Review Journal "It was hardly larger than the TNT blast set off an hour earlier to test McClain said "There was a short bright flash and then a column of white smoke rose from it narrow at 4 the base and mushrooming finally into a small cloud The cloud drifted' upward for 'about 10 mln' utes before disintegrating The AEC said the experiment was purely a weapon test and not designed to test effects on anl mals and structures These Ilka the troop tests will comg later' It was indicated there will be no test today but an AEC spokes man told newsmen think have something for you boys to see before Saturday" The AEC spokesman confirmed that the shot was made: from the top of a 100 feot steel tower simi lar to the structures used in the 1 original Aibomb blast at Alama gordo in 1945 and also later at Enlwetok The Russian blast have been detected by one of Hiree dif ferent methods perhaps used in combination They are: 1 1 Detection of eaith shocks with instruments normally used tn: detect natural earthquake 1 2 Detection of radioactivity from explosion particles perhaps carried around the world in high Continued on pare 2 eoL 4 tTi Two Cops Included 7pByi)ZCJuryT if 7 3 Police Insp
