British A - Bomb
May Pursuade U.S.
To Share Secrets
LONDON, (TP)—Prime Minister
Churchill disclosed Thursday that
Britain exploded her first atom
bomb in the hull of a navy ship ;
that blew up in a million degree J
cloud of vapor and fragments, j
He said it was a test of an atomic ,
bomb on harbor installations.
< Churchill, making the first of
. ficial statement on the atomic test
in the Monte Bello Island off
northwest Australia Oct. 3, said
the bomb was placed in the Plym,
a 1450-ton frigate which was an
chored in one of the many lagoons
in the islands. The ship disinte
grated, tons of rock and water
were hurled into the air, and a |
tidal wave followed.
He indicated in his report to 1
the House of Commons a hope
that the test may result in the I
United States resuming an ex
change of atomic information with
Britain.
He did not say how much the
atom test cost but recalled that
the previous Labor government
had spent 280 million dollars from
secret funds developing the wea
pon.
Just at the close of his state
ment Churchill described the wea
pon used as a bomb. It was the
first time it had been called any
thing other than a weapon.
Churchill made it clear that
Britain intends to go on making
atomic weapons.
Scientific measurements and
observations show that the wea
pon does not contradict the natur
al expectation that progress in
this sphere would be continual,
he declared.
He hinted broadly that the ex
plosion may persuade the United
States to resume sharing atomic
data with this country.

Twenty-Six Generals Will
Be Retired Next January
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Twenty
six Army generals will be due
for mandatory retirement next
January.
But the Army probably will use
a provision in an officer person
nel act to retain on duty at least
one of them, Lt. Gen. Manton S.
Eddy, commander-in-chief, U.S.
Army, Europe, it was learned to
day.
The act provides that officers of
the permanent rank of brigadier
or major general (they may be
holding higher ranks temporarily,
as in the instance of Eddy) shall
be retired upon completing five
years in that grade and 35 years
of commissioned service.
In answer to questions, an
Army spokesman told a reporter
this provision would affect 14
permanent major generarls and 12
permanent brigadier generals,
about half of whom are tempor
arily major generals.
This will be the largest num
ber of general officers to leave
active duty at one® time since the
end of World War II. However,
the army currently has about 490
generals. They include one five
star officer (Gen. Omar Bradley,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff), eight four - star generals,
more than a score of three-star
UTUKOK RIVER CARIBOU
REPOSTED IN GOOD SHAPE
JUNEAU, — Reports were dis
credited this week that caribou
were dying in numbers in the
Utuko'k River area southwest of
Barrow.
Local Fish and Wildlife offices
said Biologist Robert F. Scott,
who made an exhaustive aerial
survey of the area after reports
reached Juneau that a form of
arthritis had attacked the ani
mals, reported seeing only one
crippled caribou.
FWS men here had two possi
ble theories for the mistaken re
ports. They said the animals when
originally observed may have
been too lazy, rather than too
lame, to get up, or may have been
exhausted after being chased by
wolves.
DRINKS FOR ALL TASTES
LONDON, (/P)—The traditional
English pub is going to be given
a new look.
The House of Lords has ordered
pubs in “new towns” — govern
ment-subsidized housing develop

room.
