Seen Bv Pilot Another who apparently saw that object, according to La Paz, was an unnamed pilot flying a passenger plane from Dallas to El Paso. W. A. Magill. CAA official at Hobbs, said the pilot radioed he saw in the air on a direct line from Andrews to Wink, and it left a trail and exploaded.

The pilot asked by radio if it was a guided missle, but Magill said it was not. In the Tularosa Basin of south central New' Mexico, several persons reported seeing the objects. Sgt. Camilla SaCnz, stationed on Sacramento Peak near Cloudcroft, said he saw a yellow' fireball with a red trail at 9:55 a.m. moving south of the peak toward the west and going down fast.

Harp rise To Commission Judge Brummett handed the letter to Medlock and W. F. Dean, general chairman of the commis- who were preparing to begin interviewing applicants for licenses. The letter, which was a complete surprise to traffic commission officials, prompted Medlock to tell a group of 17 juveniles and their parents that Judge Brummett had just them and that they should see the judge to make application for licenses.

"It will be my recommendation to the executive committer and general chairman of the traffic commission that the juvenile licensing committee be disbanded as of this day because of the lack of cooperation between our group and Judge Medlock said. The group of children and adults then stormed Judge ofice, confused as to w'hat to do. Upon the request of Judge Brummett, the licensing committee then agreed to conduct one final meeting. Medlock Commended Recommendations by the committee were given to Judge Brummett following the interviews. No action on the licenses had been taken Tuesday night, however.

Dean had no comment on Judge and statements. "We have absolute confidence in Mr. Dean said.

The bomb. 10th to be fired in the current series of tests in Nevada, was one designed for packaging in guided sels, rockets and other anti- aricraft weapons.

The experiment w-as an intricate one designed to prove, first, that such weapons could annihilate an attacking enemy air armada and, second, that persons on the ground would not be imperiled by such an explosion. A force of 40 aircraft took part in the test, including seven -86 Saberjets flying in echelon wnth a B-47 control plane and laying smoke trails. These smoke trails were laid out in a grid to measure the blast effect from the bomb. Just as the bomb reelased. the B-47 and 7-86s flew directly beneath the plane and then sped out of ranee at top speed.

Parachute Drops Made Other aircraft dropped parachute-equipped cannisters containing instruments for measuring radiation and other effects of the detonation. At least 11 of these were observed at the control point as their 20 -foot parachutes opened at a stage of their fall. Some observers in Lag Vegas reported seeing black spots before their eyes for several minutes after the explosion. They said the flash of the bomb actually bothered their eyes more than looking directly into the sun. The fireball lasted about five seconds and w'as unofficially described as appearing to be' half again as large as the sun.

Tbe fireball was gold inside, fading to orange at. its perimeter. The bast gave off a white, shaped cloud without a stem. It bore little resemblance to the familiar mushroom shaped cloud cf most atomic explosions. The cloud hung in the sunlit sky for only about two minutes before it began drifting away to the southeast at about 27 miles per hour.
