Boy Recovering
Nicely From Long
Dog Bite Gash
FAIRMONT, Minn., —Three
vear-old Kenneth Klug, who suf
fered a nine inch gash on his face
when bitten by the family farm
dog, is going to escape with mini
mum scars and disfigurement,
doctors said Tuesday.
Surgeons took 63 stitches to
close the wound which they de
scribed as “almost unbelieveable.”
The wound is healing nicely, a
doctor said.
Kenneth was playing in the
farmyard Friday when his moth
er, Mrs. Emil Klug, heard him
scream and Rover, the dog, snarl
ing. She ran out of the house to
find Kenneth on the ground and
the dog standing over him.
She drove the dog away end
ran to the fields to get her hus
band.
Doctors at the Fairmont Hospi
tal worked 2l/z hours to close the
ugly wound. It started just below
the mouth, running down along
the jawbone almost to the jugular
vein and then upwards to the ear.
An inside wound continued for
another two inches, coming out
by the left ear, which also was
badly cut.

Brilliant 10-Kiloton Atomic Device
Explosion in Nevada Desert Starts
Summer Series of U. S. Tests!
By JACK LESTER
ATOMIC TEST SITE, Nevada,
WP—The United States exploded
a brilliant atomic device into the
desert darkness yesterday open
ing its summer series of Nevada
tests as disarmament talks pro
ceded in London with the possi
bility of ending nuclear experi
ments.
The 10-kiloton device flared in
unearthly light over the test cen
ter. A tremendous mushroom
cloud erupted into the pre-dawn
skv. Shot time was 5:44 a.m. Pa
cific Daylight Time.
10.000 Tons of TNT
The 10-kiloton power is equal
to the energy of 10,000 tons of
TNT. This is about a half that of
the bombs which destroyed the
Japanese cities of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki in World War II. Bombs
of more than 20 kilotons have
been tested here.

June 4 Hearing
On Long Rrange
Minerals Program
WASHINGTON UP—The Sen
late Interior Committee yesterday
scheduled a hearing June 4 on the
Eisenhower Administration’s long
range minerals program, which
the committee chairman called an
“apparent monstrosity.”
The chairman, Sec. Murray (D
Mont), said the first witness will
be Secretary of the Interior Fred
A. Seaton, who recently held a
press conference on the minerals
program.
Murray said he was “amazed
and disappointed” when he “read
that Secretary Seaton described
as the ‘bare bones’ of the so
called long range minerals pro
gram, particularly in respect to
the restricted number of minerals
even mentioned in the so-called
program.” He added:
“ . . . The program deals with
only six minerals and proposes
that effective action be taken only
in respect to two—lead and zinc—
on a basis which heretofore has
been opposed tooth and toenail by
the administration.
“Members of the Congress
with whom I have talked are not
only amazed and disappointed,
but also confused, toy the self
contradictory proposal which has
been partially unveiled, and there
is an imperative need for light to
be thrown on the subject by Sec
retary Seaton and the architects
who helped him design and build
this apparent monstrosity.”
a 500-foot tower at Yucca Flat, 70
miles northwest of Las Vegas, 31
aircraft streaked into the radio
active field to protograph the
mushroom cloud and to track its
path as the light wind carried it
away.
The top of the cloud coiled and
boiled into the sky and drifted
away from its stem. \
Seen in Several States
The flash was seen in several
nearby states, including Califor
nia, Arizona and Utah. Witnesses
at most distant points described
it as very quick and not nearly as
bright as the flashes of some pre
vious tests.
Great emphasis is being placed
in this series on reduction of fall
out of radioactive material. Test
Manager James E. Reeves said
after the blast that he was very -
pleased at the fallout pattern.
“Heavy fallout,” he said, “was
in the test area and only light,
long-delayed fallout will occur in
off-site areas.”
He said it would be impossible
to determine for several hours
what off-site areas might receive
fallout.
In observation posts ringing
the test site were 200 military
personnel. The test was witnessed
by newsmen from a site 11 miles
away.
This explosion, delayed since
May 16 by adverse wind condi
tions, was intended to provide the
Atomic Energy Commission with
information on radiation mea
surements, flash effects, and fall
out.
The entire series, which will
continue until Sept. 1 and will
include more than 15 shots, is
designed “to attain new knowl
edge important to the defense of
the United States and the free
world.”
