SHOCK RECORDED A "supersensitive" seismograph at Matsushiro, 130 miles northwest of Tokyo, recorded earth shock nearly three hours ahead of the air gauge readings, the scientists reported. The seismograph also recorded the May 21 blast before the atmospheric instruments. Earth shocks travel much faster than atmospheric pressure waves. None of the 13 newsmen who saw the May 21 bomb drop at Bikini were there today.

Their stay ia the proving ground was limited to 30 days. Weather conditions forced repeated postponements of the H-bomb chop and thus delayed later tests of the current series beyond the time limit granted the correspondents. The AEC has said the current tests will run into June. The Tokyo observatory 6aid the Matsushiro seismograph recorded the earth shocks at 3:02 a.m. (1:02 p.m.

EST, Sunday). The air gauges recorded the atmospheric pressure waves at 6:33 a.m. in Yokohama and 6:14 a.m. in Tokyo. The seismograph recorded the May 21 explosion 12 minutes after the blast was set off at Bikini and the air pressure gauges reacted about three hours later.

Allowing for time zone differences and the speed of earth shocks and atmospheric pressure waves, the newest blast if It was detonated apparently was set off about dawn at Bikini. Until the commission passed its emergency segregation ordinance, the beach officially was open to both races. That status was brought out by municipal spokesmen in federal court as the basis for dismissal of a suit fiied by cine Negroes to win access to the beach early this month.
