Army fired tht nation's first atomic shell today from a huge cannon dubbed "Atomic Annie." It burst with a brilliant flash over a simulated enemy target.

The shot from the 280 m. m. cannon came at 8:30 a. m. (10:30 a.

m. E. S. T.l. Within five minutes the customary atomic cloud formed, visible in this resort-gambling town 75 miles away.

It developed a lazy form and appeared to have an ice cap. Sunlight glinted on the white top of the cloud. Its wispy stem led down to a purple base. The cloud rose swiftly and seemed to be traveling fast. It did not have the true mushroom shape so familiar in previous nu- clea tests.

Democrats to make a political issue of proposed Air Force money cuts with the assertion today that he believes the country will back President Eisenhower's military judgment.

The shell was fused to explode 500 feet above a target area seven to eight miles north-northeast of the giant gun, which the Army classes as the T131 Rifle because it can be accurately aimed, firing both conventional and atomic shells.

ANIMALS SUBJECTED The target area represented a typical enemy back-of-the-lines installation. In a grove of 50 trees, which sjurvived the May 7 atomic "blast, stood 45-ton locomotive, 15 boxcars, tanks, planes, guns and several types of military housing, from fortifications to tents. Various types of Army clothing also were subjected, as were rabbits, mice and pigs in pens. Among the nation's leaders on hand for the test were Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson and Gen.

J. Lawton Collins, Army chief of staff. Nearly 100 congressmen, including Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-NY), chairman of the Joint Atomic energy Committee, were assigned positions several miles behind the trenches where 2,525 troops and 575 military observers had comparative box seats.

Mrs. Parker was alone in the two-story frame and brick row house when the patrolmen saw the flames as they cruised on 9th street in a patrol car. The patrolmen turned in a box alarm which brought three fire companies and a coffee wagon to the scene, Owens, who knew the I Parkers, went to the rear of the house where Mrs. Parker was asleep in the one-story frame addition.

JOSEPH F. DENMARK Will Head Police Police Changes Catch City Hall Off Guard City Hall was stunned today by the sudden and apparently unexpected shakeup of the police department. Municipal officials willing to comment admitted surprise at the drastic although several said reported changes in the department had been in the wind. The rumored shifts, they said, did not approach the sweeping changes announced by Francis X. Kelly, assistant director of public affairs.

READY TO HELP Mayor Ralph Swarts said, "I'm studying the changes and, of course, I'll do my best to help Kelly in his job. "After all, he's in here to do the best possible Job in the department. Aside from that, I've got nothing more to say at this time." The mayor is nominal head of the department of public affairs in which the police department Is included. Kelly, a former state trooper, was appointed Oct. 7, 1962, to head the police department.

THE BIG PROBLEM The wholesale demotions contained in today's order of Keiiy posed another problem which thus far remains unanswered. What, if any. rights of appeal do the demoted policemen have? Louis A. Bloom, city solicitor, was to confer with the mayor on the appeal question. Because of the unusual situation, he said he could offer no immediate answer.

MIGHT BECOME TEST CASE If no ruling were to be handed down, the question might become a test case in the a policeman challenges his demotion. Bloom, like other city officials, had not heard the startling news until he arrived for work today.
