No Admigon Thai Bomb Was Exploded

By Elton C. Fay

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16 -(AP) The Atomic Energy Commission said tonight that hydrogen bomb ”research"' was included in a new weapons test program at heavily- guarded Eniwetok atoll. But a carefully phrased announ- cement did not admit that a full- scale "hell bomb" had been explod- ed.

Indeed, exhibiting alarm a- bout widely circulated reports, it disclosed simultaneously that crew members of ships in the test task force who wrote home about seeing such a super-blast face the prospect of prosecu- tion. '

Chairman Gordon Dean told re- porters investlgatlons are under way, with possible prosecution un- der task force regulations "or the law." Presumably, his latter refer- ence meant the stringent security provisions of the Atomic Energy Act. ,

The formal ADC announcement says the 1952 series of atomic wea- pons tests had been concluded went no further on the subject of the hydrogen bomb than to say "the test. program included experiments contributing to their monuclear weapons research." tThat is the scientists” way of deslznatinz 11 hydrogen bomb.) Dean said officials in charge of the test series "expres- sed satisfaction win the results."

Letters began arriving in the United states over a week ago from persons at Eniwetok who said they had witnessed history's first hydro- lzcn bomb blast.

Lived Up To Name

A study of the letters indicated that the writers were describln: something of far greater fury and power than previous known atomic explosions. If the letter writers- chicfly junior officers and crew members of ships near the scene- actually saw what they described.

Few P. E. l. Benefits Listed

Achievement

OTTAWA, Nov. 16 - tspecjgj)- Prince Edward Island received proportionately less government beneficence during, the past four years than any other Province. according to an analysis of the Liberal part,v's pre-election man- ifesto, published this week-end in "The Canadian Liberal."

The manifesto, which is regard- ed as an excellent guide to Lib- eral M.P.'s seeking re-election would-be candidates and officers of Liberal associations, gives review of benefits conferred by the party since its 1948 Ottawa convention. It lists the 20 articles in the 1948 Liberal party platform and follows each with comments on wnat the Liberal Government has achieved in the past four years.

In addition to emphasis on na- tion-wlde benefits such as univer- sal old age pensions, health grants and impravnrnonts to the family allowances act. the 36-page "record of achievement” sets forth benefits to individual provinces or sections of Canada.

Compared to the bounty receiv- ed or about to be received by oth- ,er provinces, the ”record" makes FPrlnce Edward Island look like A poor relation.

Island Entries Make Almost Clean Sweep At Toronto Fair

Prince Edward Island swine breeders made an almost clean sweep of prizes Saturday in the carcass classes at the Royal Win- ter Fair, Toronto. as Mr. Andrew Bain, French River. won the Bre- thour Trophy to bring the coveted honor back here. Information to this effect was received here by tele- phone last night by Mr, Henry W. Clay. Senior Livestock Fieldman of the Federal Department of Agricul- ture, who has been largely respon- sible for the development of the Is- land-type of Yorkshire hogs. and who aided in selecting the animals to be sent to the Royal Winter Fair.

The Brethour Trcvphy, considered the tan award for swine caresses in North America, was won by Is- land breeders in i949. when it went to Mr. Willard Proud, Kingston. and in 1950. when it was taken by Mr. William Lund, Tracadie. This year all five of the first group placings came to this Province as well as 14 of the first 15 placinga.

Although the Todd Trophy was lcst this time to an Ontario show- man the Islaud was strongly repre- sented with the next five positions in a row as well as if of the first 23 nlacings. Last year the Todd was won for the second successive year by Mr. Sterling Willis, Kingston.
