tackled the ecritical problem of‘
Trieste again today in a renewed
effort ta clear the way for fixing
the date of a 21-nation European

of French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault, the council
scheduled consideration of the
Yugaslav-Italian frontier question
—including the future of the port
city of Trieste; Italian colonies; the

questions, in that order.
The new attack on the knotty

ABOARD U. S. S. APPALACHIAN OFF BIKINI, July 1.-~(AP)—The world’s fourth atomic bomb
burst in multicolored brilliance over a guinea pig fleet of 73 old warships at Bikini today. Naval ob
servers moving into the lagoon five hours later to assess damage found the great bulk of the target
fleet still afloat.
An official but §ncomplete toll showed three ships sunk and 16 others damaged. Fires still raged
aroard some «mn‘ however. and experts estimated the number mortally wounded may reach eight.
' There was no tidal wave or
earthquake as a result. In fact
observers reported that palm
‘trees on the atoll appeared intact.
‘No lives were lost.
Nonetheless Vice Admiral W.
H. P. Blandy described the exper
iment as successful and congrat
ulated all hands involved. Navy
Secretary Forrestal 'likewise
termed the test a “well planned
and well executed operation.” 4
The bomb burst with a blind
ing flash at 9 a. m. (5 p. m., Sun
day, Eastern’ Standard Time).
Associated Press Science "Writ
er Howard Blakeslee reported
the heart of the resultant cloud
was pink, ‘turning to gold as it
shot ug at about one quarter of a
mile a ininute.
Cloud Mushroomed
“The bomb began to lose its
ball shape and mushroomed,” he
wrote. “As it pierced one cloud
layer above another there seemed
to be several balls, one above an
other. :
“After one hour the top of the
cloud was well above 30,000 feet.
This top was a mushroom which
had shot out and up from the
original mushroom, but after one
hour this top was a huge, hazy
cloud, distinguished from other
natural clouds around it only by
its slightly brown color. |
“It’s shape was that of en ice
cream cone that had meited quite
flat. It was probably 20 miles
wide.” |
The first craft entered the la
goon within three hours after the
bomb burst, to study radioactiv
ity and combat the fires.
Fires may have been kindled
aboard other ships by .the un+
'suspected but never actually haa
'seen. 8
| Polio researchers knew that
lmany people have attacks of
jillness which resemble polio and
'that they recovered after a period
lOf nausea; fever, pain and finally
muscular weakness, and afterward
lthere was no evidence that their
’illness was infantile paralysis. One
of the things that clouded the
picture was a widespread belief
that nerve cells of the brain and
spinal cord were incapable of re
generation.
The microphotos clinched the
case. Exhibit figures show that the

cent of the total number of in

.The blazes endangered scien
tific instruments in the: hulls of
the vessels nad materiel placed
aboard for study of the effect of
the explosion.
“Somewhat Lighter”
Associated Press Correspond
ent Elton C. Fay reported Admi
ral Blandy, task force command
er, had said “impressions” were
that the fourth atomic bomb ‘was
“somewhat lighter” in explosive
efficiency than the missile drop
ped on Nagasaki.
. It was reported officially that
the mushrooming cloud did not
rise above 35,000 feet. This com
pared with an estimated 40,000
to 60,000 feet for the Nagasaki
burst.
Strangely, the bullseye ship
Nevada appeared not badly hurt
although the bomb was aimed to
burst directly above it. Its brignt
orange and white dress was
blackened and burnt, however.
The north side "of the ship
showed the greatest loss of paint,
indicating that the bomb burst
just north of it, toward Bikini
Island. Observers whtching the
television screen abogrd the U. S.
S. Panamint said "the bomb ap
peared to burst about 1,000 feet
in the air, slightly to the star
board of the Nevada.
Ships which once were -part of
enemy fleets did not do so.well.
The Japanese battleship Nagato
and light cruiser Sakawa and
the German heavy cruiser Prinz
Eugen were listed among the
heavily damaged. Reported dam
age to the Prinz Kugen caused
surprise because it was on the
fringe of the target fleet.
Two of the three vessels sunk
were trangports—the Gilliam and
the Carlisle. The third was the
destroyer Lamson. .
Heavily Damaged
Other ships listed as heavily
damaged included the carrier In
dependence. It was a virtual hulk,
its entire lofty superstructure
leveled off by fires and explos-
ions.
The flight deck was buckled,
and there was no evidence, from
élose range observation, of the
planes and other materiel left on
the deck for test purposes. She
was listing 20 degrees.
Fires were reported aboard the
famed old carrier Saratoga, bat
tleships Nevada and New York,
destroyer Wilson -and- transports

Sioned By Truman
* \
WASHINGTON, July I—(AP)—
Président Truman made July pay
call sound $50,000,000 sweeter to
day for officers and men of the
armed forces.
But he kept the fighting ser
vices pretty! much in suspense on
'thefsubject' almost to the last
lminute. ¢
The Chief Executive waited un
til late Saturday before he signed
into law the bill which provides
a higher wage scale for those in
uniform, starting with 50 percent
boosts for privates and apprentice
seamen and' tapering down to 10
lpercem for top generals and ad
admirals. .
The suspense arose from the
fact that if Mr. Truman had de
layed.until today, the new pay re
presenting an estimated monthly
increase of some $50,000.000 would
not have gone into effect until
August. The bill specified the
lraises were to be effective on the
first dav of the month after it was
sirned into law.
Lawmakers estimate the pay in
creases will cost about $632,000,000
annually, or roughly $50,000,000
monthly.

Food Prices Expected Early Raist
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Reports from most of the nation indicated today that the expira
tien of government price controls at midnight last night would bring
immediate increases in the prices of many food items despite the
pleas of some industry leaders_rfor_a_ “hol(_l the line” policy.
Definite increases were predict
ed for meat, milk and sugar 10
per cent for meat. Two cents per
quart for milk and one cent a
pound for sugar.
Prices on most other consum
mer goods appeared to be stable
—at least temporarily, as many
department and chain stores said
they would effect no immediate
price increases.

. Meetings Called
At the same time a high Jewish
source in Tel Aviv announced that
meetings had been called through
out Palestine to consider a retali
atory “passive resistance” move
ment similar to those undertaken
by Nationalists in India.
Passive resistance would include
non-payment of taxes, a strike by
all Jews in government service and
“complete non-cooperation with
the British” in other ways, this
source declared.
Jewish labor leaders in Pales
tine simultaneously cabled various
labor organizations and parties
throughout the world protesting
the “attitude” of the British Gov
ernment toward Palestine.
. British authorities said that the
operations - which they began
Saturday “to restore law and or
der in Palestine” were virtually
completed but that searches for
hidden arms and explosives still
were under way in a number of
places. A strict curfew was im
posed on Jerusalem, Haifa and

POSSIBILITY OF RENT INCREASES

If the milkman didn't get as many cheery smiles as usual this
morning it was probably because most of the folks along his route
were expecting bad news — a notice from the landlord that their
rent had been raised.
Witla the death of GPA, talk of
soaring rents—as much as 100
percent higher than in rent con
trol days—was heard *hroughout
the South.
The OPA Rent Director in

counties in Georgia and Tennes

increase was favored by the

WASHINGTON, July I—(AP)
—Amid confusion, unce-tainty
ana sharp politica! crossfire, |
tarried Congress today pll'mge‘a
back into the seelhing battle
cver price controls
OPA i 8" dead. ;
i It went out of legal exiclenea
at midnight and with it passed
the my-iad of conirols and reg
ulations that governed the na-=
tion’s economy for the past four
and bhalf years. The words “QPA
ceiling price” ceased te iave any
meaning.
The immediate question on
Capitol Hill, indeed, throughout
the land. was:
What will happen to the cost
of living?
Forecasts varied hugely, but
most seemedq agreed that it would
be weeks, not days, before the
effects could be accurately as
sessed. Z
The legislative cutlook, mean
while. abpeared none too prom=~
icing for ravid-fire action on the
vrice control restoration program
President Tuman asked in his
veto message.
Predicts Stop-Gap
Chairman Spence (D-Ky) of
the House Banking Committee
voiced confidence the House will
approve a 20-day stop-gap res
invection of the defunct OPA
law to eover the period while
|Cloneress is working on compre=-
hensive new legislation.
l No such assurarce was heard
cn the Senate side, however,
Senator O’Daniel (D-Tex) prom
ized another anti-OPA filibuster,
and Senate Democratic Leader
1 Barkley (Kv) saul he feared a
ltmce control holiday of two or
three weeks might result.
A notentially powerful factor
i the. situation was the extent
of public response to Mr. Tru
man’s .radio appeal Saturday
night for thie people to come to
the rescue of OPA. Avalanches of
telegrams addressed to congress
men poured in on the Capital
vesterday. and heavy congress=-
ional mail was expected today.
The tenor of these communica
tions might alter the picture.
The battlelineg joined again
after a turbulent weekend which
’hrnuxzht these prominent devel=-
opments:
) 1. OPA A¥iministrator Paul
‘Fartcr predicted Congress would
restore price and rent ecomtrols
within a short time, and said he
did not look for any “sweeping
upward price movemenis” in the
interim.
<. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) as
serted that Mr. Truman, by his
velo, “has daosen to plunge the
economy of this country into®
chaos” and said the President,
not Congress. should be heid re
sponsible for the consequences.
Taft also claimeq he had been
the victim of a “personal attack”
bv the® President, “deliberately
misrepregenting” his gosition.
