Anyway, It seemed pretty simple to Kenneth Ward, a 40-pound fan of TV space dramas. Some day, he kept telling his mother, he was going to take off right through the window of their second-floor Brooklyn apartment. Yesterday he did but fortunately Marilyn Schroth, a-high school junior and something of an earthy supergirl, spotted Kenneth clinging outside the window ledge some 25 feet in the air. Marilyn sprinted alony the sidewalk just as the dangling space cadet plummeted earthward. i There was quite a collision as spaceboy and supergirl met, bu.t no damages beyond scratches.

All ended happily for everyone except Kenneth, whose moth- i er now has the fledgling inter' stellar traveller firmly tied to earth. on to landings in friendly territory beyond. THIS COUNTRY'S FIRST hydrogen explosion was some 250 times as powerful as the A-bombs of World War II which were 2,000 times as powerful as the 10-ton blockbusters of that same war. The AEC is now testing a new series of hydrogen weapons in the Pacific. The first, announced 1, was said by informed sources to be twice as destructive as the 1952 device.

Like its predecessor, it destroyed the islp on which it was exploded. At least two more shots are believed to be on the test schedule. One.may be a com bat model of. the H-bomb. Another big one" of the series--is expected to dwarf the others in explosive violence.
