ABOARD U. S. S. APPALA- CHIAN. July 2—-(AP)—~Preliinin- ary survey of damage to target vessels in Monday's atomic bomb burst over Bikini lagoon today brought various estimates of the success of the experiment.

Navy Secretary Forrestal ex- pressed surprise at the "rc':-l- tively unimportant" damage he saw durlnl! an inspecticcl of the heavier ships.

Brig-Gen. Roger M, Ramey. air force commander. said at

Kwajalein that the operation was "a complete and unqualified suc- cess."

tDr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. UDlVBFSIIY of California physicist. was of the opinion at Bcrkcicy that early reports could not be expected to provide a true evalu- ation of the bonlb. that detailed scientific study must be awaited. Dr. Oppenheimer said the pre-

Mr. Forrestal. while viewing the damage to the heavienjshigs as. relqtivalyqg u ' ‘i; '. served that such ships are “diffi- cult to slnk unless they sustain underwater damage." He warned against hasty conclusions bu: ex- pressed the opinion "there still will be navies in the future.”

One big question still remained lmanswered: could crcw members have lived through the hlflgf?

Prices Rise In United States

NEW YORK. July §—(AP)-R»e- cord-high cattle prices and above- ceiling premiunzs for hogs brought farmers to the United States‘ live- stock markets in droves today as buyers and sellers groped ilnlor- tinly in the confusion left by the Office of Price Administration's end.

This was the situation in brief:

Stocks steadied. Cotton fixtures fell off. Wool was up. Textiles tiidn't budge irom O.P.A. ceilings and none was offered for sale. Poultry jumped 7 to 10 tents a pound.

Flour reappeared at O.P.A.-

plus prices bu: below black mar- ket quotations. Cattle hit $22.50. Hons closed at $l'i.50—short of Monday's $18.50 top but above O.P.A. levcl.

Loss of subsidies was for increases in milk. butter. cheese. flour and meat prices in some parts of the United States. while others chose to wait and see if Congress would make pav- ments retroactive in the hoped- for resurrection o-f price controls.

Retail outlet for food. clothin:

and other staples generally stuck to their pledge to hold prices at the O.P.A. level until Congress - has a chance to do something. - Increasing pressure came from the tenant population for emer- gency relief from rising rent prices through state and civil re- strictions in the absence of fed- eral acticcl.

In Chicago's grain market. me busiest day since last April's crop movcment. saw dealers bookinr 1.000.000 bushels of corn on a "lo- arrive" basis at $2.15 a bushel-IO cents above the old O.P.A. top. _ Tagging along behind the boom in hogs and cattle. poultry pflCCS Jumped between 7 and l0 cents a pound in Chicago and New'York.

FAILURE 0F CONFERENCE IS REASON

Federal Cov’t. To_ Discontinue Agencies iAlnlost Immediately

HALIFAX. July 3 - (Wednes. dill’) _ (CP) The Halifax Chronicle said in a newlsipage storv today it had learned that reconstruction councils Jhroughoui Canada. set up last year by Ottawa to facilitate post- war reconversion and reconstruc- tion. are to be abolished almost immediately because of failure of the Dominion-Provincial con»- ference.

While the full reasons for Fed- eral Government abolition of one of its malor agencies in peace- time re-employmemt was not know-n. the Chronicle said. it was learned that Ottawa was taking the attitude that the negative outcome cf the conference dict- ated a complete shift of recon- struction oolcy.

"The new policy was not dis- closed. Up to now. councils work- ing in each province have invest- igated industrial. public works and other projects coming under the brad of reconstruction in con- iurict-ion with provincial govern- ments and other public bodies. Recommendations for financial aid have been forwarded to Ot-

tawa. and the Federal govern- ment would make grants or loans."

The story said the decision had apparently been reached coincid- entally with the fashioning of the national budget and its optional financial offers to the provinces.

It calls for speedy action in the demolition of the government bran-ch. Operations of the Nova Scotia scotia Council. it is under- stood. are to be wound up oom- pietely bv Aug. l5. ' ‘

"Since the notification left Ot- tawa at approximately the same time as the budget was brought down. nossibilitv was evident that. financial considerations carried some weight in the verdict. Some quarters held that national ad- ministration felt it could not fin- ance further projects recom- mended bv its councils without getting the provinces on the dot-

knives in new clashes sterlifl? after the lifting of the curfew at 6 am.
