Tunnel Collapses
With Atom
Bomh Blast
ATOMIC TEST SITE, Nev., UP)
— Tons of splintered rock yes
terday blocked a long tunnel in
which a small but powerful nu
clear device was tested.
The device was in the one-kilo
ton range — equal to 1,000 tons
of TNT. This is puny as nuclear
weapons go. But when it was
touched off Wednesday, it made
a mountain jump. f
Observers watching from Wi
, miles away saw a shudder pass
Sover the rocky face of the flat
topped mountain in which the
test tunnel was bored.
It will be weeks before the
Atomic Energy Commission is
able to get through the shattered,
radiation-filled tunnel to the det
onation chamber and evaluate
results.

Man' High Project
Balloon Down
Because Of Heat
ALMOGORDO, N. M., UP) — The
Air Force’s third Man High bal
loon flight to the stratosphere was
at an^end yesterday, about 12
■hours short of its goal.
The balloon was returned to
earth, an Air Force announcement
said, because “capsule heat and
humidity rose to an extreme de
gree, and could not be lessened,”
and to prevent the pilot from de
veloping heat prostration.
Lt. Clifton McClure, 25-year-old
jet pilot who turned to balloon
ing in order to help man try to
find a way into space, was back
on the ground, disappointed but
none the worse for wear.
McClure’s aim, when the three
million cubic feet balloon and its
9x3 foot sealed metal cockpit
capsule left the ground early
Wednesday, was to rise to 100,000
feet — roughly 20 miles — and
stay there for a 24-hour day
night cycle.
In the first Man High flight in
June, 1957, Capt. Joe Kittinger
rode to 96,000 feet. The second
ascent was in August, 1957, when
L.t. Col. David Simone rode to
102,000 feet and stayed 32 hours.
About 4 pjn. McClure started
his descent after rising to 90,000
feet.
What the Air Force plans in
the way of Man High tests now
is all up in the air. An officer
said it is “certainly too early to
say.”
Pope Wills Estate
To Holy See
VATICAN CITY, UP) — Pope
Pius XII named the Holy See as
his sole beneficiary and asked in
his last will and testament that
no monuments be erected.
The will, dated May 15, 1956,
was published today in the Vat
ican newspaper,' ’ "O'OsServatore”
Romano.
The will did not specify what
properties or estate the Pontiff
left. He came from the noble
Pdcelli family, some of whose
members are wealthy. There was
no authoritative estimate of the
Pope’s personal wealth.

Rocket Exploded
After Launching
At Canaveral
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Iff) —
A powerful Jupiter rocket was
blown apart ip a blazing display
of missile fireworks over Cape
Canaveral last night.
It was the third ballistic wea
pon in a row to explode shortly
after liftoff in the past month.
The Jupiter — the usually re
liable 1,500-mile missile which
also will provide the big punch
for the Army’s moon rocket —
was deliberately destroyed after
it swerved violently out of con
trol several thousand feet high.
One huge chunk crashed back
on the Cape with a roar; other
debris splashed into the ocean
nearby. No one was injured and
there was no property damage
reported.
Salvage crews searched for
broken pieces of the 60-foot rock
et to help Army missilement de
termine the trouble.
The Jupiter thundered aloft
from billows of white flame and
smoke, but appeared to sway
slightly qs it climbed toward
space. After 32 seconds it was
blown up by the range safety
officer.
There was a bright flash and
an ear-splitting noise. Then the
broken war rocket spun earth
ward in looping, cartwheel fa
shion, trailing streams of white
flame.
