I! ELTON C. PA! WASHINGTON, Jan. 11_(,AP)_ The atom bomb target fleet may be pummeiled by LOOO-mile-en- hour winds, IOO-foot waves and steel-fusing temperatures.

Navy and Army experts prepar- ing for the Joint tests have avail- sbe extensive information gleaned from the studies made or m, three bombs so far e loded-the initial test in New Mex co and the two attacks on Ja an.

Here are some o the iictore the naval military and scientific ex- perts have observed or " ', ‘z

i. Foliowln the initial pres- sure blast of undreds of thous- ands of pounds a square inch at

the core of the explosion is a true wind running up from 500 to 1000 miles an hour-e wind of short duration but great in- tensity.

(Any wind above 75 miles an hour s of hurricane force.)

In the second rejected test where the bomb s deton- ated at the surface of the see, it is expected a wave measuring as much as 100 feet from trough to crest may race outward.

3. In the center of the eo- called "ball of fire." a hot mass measuring about a third of a- rnlle across, scientists believe heat up to 100,000,000 degrees fahrenheit may develop. This temperature drops sharp! es heat waves progress ou ward from the core but still remain‘: highly destructive. At Hiroshi- ma, American scientists have re- ported, virtually all persons within about one mile of the bomb who were not killed by mechanical causes were burned fatally qr seriously.

4. At the instant of uAPlOSiOD there is emitted a huge quantity of radiation. These radium-like waves ‘killed inhabitants ofHiro- shims Na kLwho ‘ogre di-

the blood-forrnln “tiliuer " en causing the bio to seep out through apparently undamaged skin and to drain into internal cavities.

Most scientists are confident that there is not even a remote pro ect of a chain reaction from the omb which would spread out- ward either through the air or the sea and effect faraway areas.

Indications are that in the first test, where the bomb will be ex- ploded aeveral hundred feet in the air, the initial effect against the

anchored target may be a hammer-

like blow downward. In the Jap- anese cities, walls of some build- ings directly under the burst were

left intact when the pressure blew

straight down, but the floors were crushed into the ground.
