Third China Bomb
Produces 100 Times
As Much Fallout
By JEM WILLENSON
Unit e d Press International
TOKYO (UPI) —Communist
China’s third and biggest
nuclear test explosion Monday
produced radioactive fallout 200
times greater than fallout from
its first explosion and 100 times
greater than from its second,
Japanese scientists reported
today.
Japanese meteorological ex
perts said they believed the
bomb was of the 20 kiloton
class, having the destructive
power of 20,000 tons of TNT.
They said sensitive in
struments at the Central
Meteorological Agency did not
■ record the test.
“If the Chinese nuclear
device had the dstructive power
of more than one megaton (1
million tons of TNT), our
instruments would have certain
ly registered something to give
us an idea on how large, and
powerful it might be,” one
official said.
He said he agreed with early
U.S. Defense Department re
ports that the bomb was about
20 kilotons.
Prof. Takeo Kosaka of
Niigata University said* 29
“giant radioactive particles”
were detected in Niigata
Prefecture, on northern Japan’s
west coast which faces China,
less than 48 hours after the
blast.
( Although the level of fallout
was high, Kosaka said, it was
not sufficient to endanger
humans.
One of the particles regis
tered a radioactivity of 500,000
counts or 1.5 million micro
microcuries. Its radioactivity
was 100 times as great as that
found in particles two days
after the second Chinese test on
May 14, 1965.

“very much like (those) of the
second Chinese experiment.”
Japanese scientists said detec
tion of the radioactive debris
came at least a day earlier
from this Chinese test than
from the two previous explo
sions, probably because It was
carried on a “jet air current”
from the test site in Western
China.
Weathermen in Osaka, In
central Japan, also reported
they detected radioactivity in
rain that fell Tuesday night.

Debrett Says Queen Elizabeth
Is Descendant Of Godiva
LONDON (UPI) —Debrett,
the “Bible” of British aristocra
cy, said today Queen Elizabeth
n is a descendant of Lady
Godiva, the legendary English
horsewoman who rode nude
through Coventry In the 11th
Century to ease the people’s
tax burden.
In its 164th annual edition,
ATOMIC INDIA
NEW DELHI (UPI) —
Premier Mrs. Indira Gandhi
has assured Parliament India is
not lagging in developments on
the use of atomic power.
Mrs. Gandhi spoke Tuesday
in answer to questions raised
by members of Parliament
concerned over Communist
China’s thrrd nuclear test
Monday.
the edition celebrating the 900th
anniversary of the Battle of
Hastings, Debrett also traces
the Queen’s ancestry to both
the winner of the battle,
■William the Conqueror, and the
loser, King Harold.
The 3,000 page, $44 book has
a special section depicting the
family tree of the Queen. It
recounts the legend of Lady
Godiva and traces her relation
ship to Elizabeth.
According to legend, Lady
Godiva’s husband, Leofrid, Earl
of Mercia and Lord of
Coventry, agreed to his wife’s
request to demand less tax
money from the people if she
would ride through the town
with only her long hair to cover
her body.
He ordered the townspeople
to stay indoors and shut their
windows and Godiva went
ariding. True to his word,
legend has it, Leofrid eased the
heavy tax burdens.
Elizabeth’s relationship to
William had previously been
traced but this year’s Debrett
was the first to show that she
is the 31st in descent through a
line beginning with King
Harold’s daughter, Gytha.
Gytha married the Grand
Prince of Kiev and the line
wanders down through the
kings of Hungary, Aragon and
France to Edward m of
England, the first English king
to inherit Harold’s blood line.
William defeated Harold in
1066 and won the English
crown. Harold died on the
battlefield with an arrow in his
eye.
This year’s edition also lists
biographies of chiefs of the
clans of Scotlahd and notes that
lairds and chiefs are entitled to
