One Dead In Crash
Of Navy Blimp At
New Jersey Base
By RUSSELL H. MULLEN
LAKEHURST, N. J., (fl> — One
crewman was killed early yester
day when a silvery Navy blimp
crashed into a hangar while at
tempting to land in \ dense fog.
Six crewmen were hospitalized
and several others suffered minor
injuries.
The wreckage was wedged in
the hangar roof 150 feet above the
ground.
Rescue workers clambered over
the roof and removed the in
jured crewmen who had been
trapped in the blimp’s gondola.
The dead man was identified
as Lt. (j.g.) David Malcolm Loyd
of Vega, Tex. He had been
crushed in the wreckage.
The ZPG-2 blimp was return
ing from a routine 21-hour anti
submarine early morning patrol.
It was making a radar-controlled
instrument approach through a
swirling fog that blanketed out
everything more than 100 feet
away.
Lt. Cmdr. Herman Snahn, ad
ministrative officer of Sqdn. 3, to
which the craft was attached, said:
“The fog was so bad we radioed
the blimp to gain altitude and
try to come in again.” It was just
picking up speed to 45 miles an
hour when it hit.
The huge bag was ripped by
the wreckage and its million cubic
feet of helium whooshed out
through its rent sides. The gas is
non-inflammable, and dispersed
without harm into the fog. .
Rescuers at first were unable to
locate four officers and two men
beneath the entangling sheets of
the 343-foot-long bag. They were
found in the fore part of the metal
alloy gondola.
The crew members in the rear
of the car were unhurt, and made
their way down ladders to safety.
There was a total of eight offi
cers and 10 enlisted men aboard.

Western C-D Officials
Mum On Reports Of
Alaska Irregularities
EVERETT, Wash., UPi — Region
al Civil Defense officials declined
comment yesterday on legislative
reports criticizing Civil Defense
operations in Alaska.
One of the reports, released at
Juneau Wednesday, said the Civil
Defense program in Alaska “has
never been workable, usable or
suitable. . . .” The other report
questioned the manner of C-D
expenditures.
Mark Plaisted, C-D information
director, said the C-D officials
here are staff coordinators and
advisers to state organizations in
Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Mon

Canine Pet-Degree . . .
NEW YORK, UP) — Turning
from his speech to top scientists
last ngiht, Presdent Eisenhower
told a joke and got a big laugh
from his audience.
The joke concerned a man who
named his hunting d<- > after
members of a college faculty.
When the faculty wives com
plained, the man named the dogs J
with academic ranks.
A man from Chicago rented a
dog named “instructor” for $2.50
a day. The fee for the same dog
the next year was $5, the owner
explaining the dog had been pro
moted to assistant professor.
The third year the fee was $10
— the dog had become a full pro
fessor.
The President said that, in the
fourth year, the man was unable
to rent the do^ at all because the
canine had been made a college
president and that all he did was
“sit around and howl and bark
and he ain’t worth shootin’.”

jU. S. Scientists Hope To Prevent Cape
Thompson A-Blasts’ ''Rattling’ Siberia
By RENNIE TAYLOR
Associated Press Science Writer
SAN FRANCISCO, (ff) — Two
scientists disclosed yesterday they
are taking steps to prevent re
flected shock waves from breaking
windows and causing other dam
age in Soviet Siberia when they
use big nuclear bombs to create
a new harbor in Alaska.
As planned by the U. S. govern
ment, five nuclear bombs will be
set off, probably in 1961, to exca
vate a harbor on Kotzebue Sound,
on the Northwestern Alaska coast.
The site is only about 200 miles
from Siberia. The researchers said
they had learned that under cer
tain conditions shock waves could
carom off upper air layejrs and
return to earth more than 300
miles away with damaging effect.
Telephoning for the Birds
LONDON, (ff) — Two flyaway
mynahs — talking birds from In
dia — were back in their cages
today because they remembered
their telephone number.
After hours of freedom, one
fluttered down on the shoulder of
a surprised telephone lineman and
croaked, “Uplands 1539.”
The engineer rang the number
and later returned the bird to its
owner, Edgar Tickle, 76, in the
London suburb <lf Purley.
Mynah No. 2 flew into a garden
where pretty Betty Blanchard was
sunbathing.
“I love you. I love you,” it said.
Then it gave its telephone num
ber, and back it went to Edgar
Tickle.

| It was these air-dueting layers
that caused shock waves from the
Nevada atom bomb tests to leap
frog over the immediate surround
ing areas and come down 70 miles
or more away on Las Vegas and
other inhabited places with win
dow-busting effect, the two scien
tists, J. W. Reed and H. W. Church
of the Sandia Corp., said.
About one-third of the time at
Kotzebue a ducting layer will be
present below 50,000 feet altitude.
When a bomb produces a shock
wave capable of instantly boosting
atmospheric pressure momentari
ly by about 3 per cent, a (duct can
carry the shock 100 miles and
break windows, the researchers
said.
During the spring of 1961 the
scientists plan to establish the air
ducting pattern around the Kot
zebue area with conventional ex
plosives.
The problem is to find out whe
ther Siberia would be in the line
of reflected shock waves during
early fall or spring, the research
ers said.
If it is found that excessive
shock pressures will be carried to
Siberia during certain periods the
nuclear firing will be delayed un
til the duct pattern shifts.
