Your Mother Come from Ire

I'm sure she sang her way
into the hearts of all the
Irish and everyone else as
well. Congratulations, Nan
cy! You sang beautifully.
(Editor’s note: The little lass
that played the flute accom
paniment was the Teen Tattler
herself. Equally good, we say.) i
Three more days and Spring
will be here. Wonderful
Spring. The most perfect sea
son of the year, though it’s
been a long time getting here,
it’s amazing how fast it will
go
In April, I plan to write

put me wise. I’ll be seeing
you at the fair.

The Washington-Merry-Go-Round —
Full-Fledged Congressional Investigation
of Bikini Bombs Tests May Be in Offing
By DREW PEARSON
Bikini Test Probe
Secretary of Defense Forres
tal and the navy are moving
frantically to hush it up but a
full-fledged congressional in
vestigation of the effects of the
Bikini bomb tests is in the of
fing. In fact. Sen. Brien McMa
hon, -chairman of the atomic
energy committee, may an
nounce it any day.
Senators say privately that
they are fed up with the hush
hush policy of the brass hats.
While the senate committee is
100 percent in favor of keeping
secret all atomic information of
possible value to an enemy, they
do not believe either the U. S.
congress or the American peo
ple are an enemy. Also, com
mittee members feel the brass
hats are deliberately suppressing
considerable information about
the effectiveness of the bomb to
cover up mistakes they have
made in failing to redesign or to
abolish warships.
One interesting fact now in
the hands of the senate com
mittee is part of the inside
story of Bikini. It shows that
of the 73 ships involved in the
Bikini tests, more than 61 were
sunk or destroyed.
This is an enormous loss from
only two bombs. Yet it was never
released in understandable form
to the American public. On the
contrary, news releases were
carefully spread out over a per
iod of time so that the man in
the street never really knew
what happened.
* • •
What Bombs Did
The real fact, however is that
two bombs at Bikini sank the
Battleship Arkansas, the carrier
Saratoga, Japanese battleship
Nagato, two cruisers, 10 destroy
ers, three submarines. 12 trans
ports and numerous other ves
sels. The aircraft carrier Inde
pendence, which was subjected
to intense blasts from both Bi
kini bombs, is now anchored off
San Francisco, permanently de
stroyed—usable only as a test
ing ground to determine the pos
sibility of removing radio-activ
ity. This is still dangerous two
years after the ship was attack
ed.
Members of the senate atomic
energy committee point out that
the loss of so many ships from
one bomb would be considered
a major naval disaster at any
time, yet, because the public is
not aware of the potency of the
bomb, our ‘‘bathtub” admirals
are busily pouring another 14
million dollars down the drain
on a 56,000-ton supercarrier
which could be put out of action
permanently if a bomb were
dropped within half a mile of
it.
• • •
Problem "Insolvable"
Information brought to the
senate committee’s attention by
Dr. David Bradley, a scientist
who was an official observer at
Bikini, reveals that, after the
tests, the navy tried frantically
to remove radio-activity from
damaged ships but without suc
cess. Bradley reported that
“salt water, lye, foamite, soap,
all spread with liberal amounts
of gob profanity, had no avail in
removing the radioactivity.”
Sandblasting was partly ef
fective, but you can't sand
blast a whole ship under bat
tle conditions. Nor can you
sandblast Pearl Harbor or the
Bremerton shipyards or Chi
cago. Possibly, with great
quantities of strong acid, you
might be able to remove
enough paint to clear the
decks of fission products. But
short of that, the coat of ra
dioactivity administered by
the A-bomb is or) to stay.
Bradley concluded that “The
problem of decontaminating the
total service of a cattle ship or
the brick and cement of a future
Hiroshima remains practically
insolvable.”
Plutonium is the most dang
erous atomic element of all. It
lodges in the bones, destroys the
bloodproducing marrow and may
kill either by wrecking the red
and white blood cells of the vic
tim or it may kill the victim
many years later through the
formation of bone tumors. Plut
onium cannot be removed by
any known process.
None of this information is
secret. All of it is known to
many of the doctors of all na
tions. Yet Secretary Forrestal.
who this year is building more
than 400 million dollars worth
of new ships, hasn't paid much
attention to the problem. This
is the inside reason why the
atomic energy committee is
now seriously planning a full
dress investigation of Bikini
and its results.
Most important document the
scientists are urging the atomic
energy committee to break loose
is the nonsecret sections of the
report of the evaluation board of
the joint chiefs of staff on the
Bikini tests which defense sec
retary Forrestal has bottled up.
The report concludes with the
significant statement that “Fu
ture wars employing atomic
bombs may well destroy nations
and change present standards of
civilization.”
