MUNICH, Germany, (m—Rocket
scientist Wernher Von Braun was
greeted with catcalls and cheers
Friday night when he arrived

The German-born scientist, one
of the leaders in the U.S. rocket
program, also helped develop the
Nazi V2 rockets that hit Britain
in World War II.
The film of his life, “I aim at
the Stars,” has brought com
plaints from pacificst groups in
postwar Germany. At a news con
ference before the picture was
shown, a number of British and
other ntwsmen also complained
that the fiim whitewashes Von
Braun’s work under the Nazis.

they are sure that the explosion
will do no harm, lies in this
statement by John N. Wolfe, chief
of the Division of Biology and
Medicine of the A EC, after re
ceiving a letter from the Can
adian government. He said “It
is nice to tell the Canadian gov
ernment that their geese will not
be contaminated.”
They figure that the only ani
mals that will be killed are a few
ground squirrels and tundra mice
in the immediate area of the blast.
This would be the same if regular
dynamite were used. The shot will
contain four 20-kiloton explosions
and one 200-kiloton explosive set
off simultaneously. The excava
tion produced will be a channel
750 by 2,000 feet and a turning
basin of about 1,500 feet across.
The site, located at Ogaturak
Creek, just south of Cape Thomp
son, is now a camp of about 25
Jamesway huts. The site was con
structed and is operated by the
support contractor, Holmes &
Narver, Inc., whose services in
clude messing, lodging, laundry;
weasel, small boat and aircraft
transportation; radio communica
tions; and other minor construc
tion support.
The camp becomes semi-active
in mid-September, but two Hol
mes & Narver caretakers will re
main throughout the year. They
will provide minimal camp ser
vices to small numbers of project
personnel who find it necessary
to work at the site during fall,
winter and spring.
To date the cost of this proj
ect, not including the cost of the
atomic devices which is classi
fied, is two million dollars — a
very modest sum considering
what has been accomplished.
It will be unnecessary to move
any villagers in the area, but at
Pt. Hope, which has a population
of about 300 people and 1,000
dogs, the people say they don’t
understand it, don’t like it, and
are afraid of it. Allen Rock, own
er of Pt. Hope Lodge, says that
“if they spoil our hunting we
might have to move somewhere
else.” In general most of the vil
lage don’t like the idea and they
don’t want to have to move. It
is necessary that they be con
vinced that this is not as terrible
a thing as they conceive it to be,
but that it is really a good thing.
Meetings have been held with
the villagers and people from Pt.
Hope and Kivalina will be
brought to the site and shown
what will happen, says Rod
Southwick, head of public rela
tions for the project.
This detonation, the climax of
Project Chariot, can start a new
era in the history of atomic en
ergy—its peacetime use to build
harbors and dams, change the
course of rivers, extract oil from
shale, and open the doors to an
easier way to do things which
are now impossible or extremely
difficult. And in Alaska, could
change the methods of mining by
reaching through the permafrost.
