Three New
Fallout Stations
Set Up in Alaska
WASHINGTON <JP> — The Pub
lic Health Service has set up
three new fallout detection sta
tions in Alaska "to get the earliest
possible indication- of the stuff
from the big bomb,"
A spokesman for the agency’s
nationwide radiation surveillance
network said the three new moni
toring stations started operations
during tile last day or so-bring
ing to six the total of stations in
Alaska.
ti‘‘We started putting them in
last week m the basis of Premier
Khrushchev’s promise to set off
the 5&-<megaton bomb on Oct. 30
or 31,” the spokesman said.
Fallout experts of the U.S.
Weather Bureau said earlier that
if the present west-to-east pat
tern of atmospheric airflow pre
vails, the first fallout from the
big Russian test might reach
North America on Thursday or
Friday.
The new Alaska stations are
at Unalaska, Point Barrow, Ko
diak and Nome.
Other stations are at Fairbanks,
Anchorage and Juneau.
