tWhen the device was fired at 10 a. m. (e. d. it appeared very brightly from News Nob and the fireball was visible for 15 20 sec onds.

kThe cloud formed into a dough nut shape with a tinge of pink col oring and a wlerd spray dropped eastward. 'Puff Of Cotton" More than a minute later the shock wave was felt.

(U.E) Five Air Force officers from Air Defense Command headquaft ers at Colorado Springs, stood on the ground immediately under today's nuclear weapons test to prove that civilians could survive beneath an air burst. The officers, who called thgm selves the City of Ground Zero, elected one of their members mayor and stood on the ground with no protection whatsoever from the blast.

They wore only Air Force summer uniforms. They had no protective goggles or no other cover. After the shot they were to be airlifted by helicopter for a news conference. The citizens of Ground Zero were Col. Sidney Bruce, of Du rango, the mayor; MaJ.

ATOM TO SAVE PART OF IMT THREE Meeting Called Amid Talk of Taking 'Guts' Out of Controversy. By DAYTON MOORE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UPJ Senate supporters of the administration's civil rights bill sought a compromise today that might save at least part of a hotly disputed injunction proviso.

Senate Republican Leader Wil liam F. Knowland called a meeting today of GOP senators for a party effort to agree on a compromise. But it would also have to be acceptable to a sizeable bloc of northern Democrats to muster enough votes to assure being left in the bill. The Senate moved into its llth day of debate on the measure with final action not in sight. More Concession Made Cloakroom huddles failed to produce a compromise Thursday al though Knowland announced fur ther concessions would be made on the injunction proviso the bill's controversial Part III.

This would empower the attorney general to seek injunctions or other civil court action against conspiracies to deprive persons of any and all rights under the Constitu tion and the law. A federal Judge could hold a violator of such an injunction in contempt and fine and Jiiil him without a jury trial. Supporters of the bill already huve offered an amendment to meet one main objection of southern foes. This would bar presidential use of troops under a hold over Reconstruction Era law to enforce injunctions aimed at school integration and other civil rights under Part III. South Not Satisfied This failed to satisfy southerners who have enlisted bipartisan support to knock out all of Pa.

III. Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said Thursday he does not believe withdrawing references to troops would be "harmful to the bill," but added that he opposed any other major changes. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D N.

co sponsor of an amendment to kill Part III, told newsmen the compromisers were desperate to save at least a shadow of the section. "I understand they are planning to take the guts out of Part III and leave the title," Anderson said. But Sen. Clifford P. Case (R N.J.) said he is confident a meaningful Part III will be kept in the bill.

Sen. Clark's Stand In a speech prepared for Senate, delivery Sen. Joseph S. Clark ID Pa.) supported section three. But he suggested it be amended to provide for jury trial in certain cases of criminal contempt where the facts are in dispute.

"Such an amendment should go a long way towards meeting the objections of those who believe that no one should be fined or Imprisoned for what is essentially a criminal act without benefit of trial by Jury," he said, "But it would confine such trial to the appropriate function of the jury, which is to find the facts and not to apply the law." Clark urged that the section not be knocked out entirely. "Those who support the equal protection of the luws as an integral part of our American federal framework of government under the constitution should, in all conscience, support part three" he said. FILTERS MORE HARMFUL' WASHINGTON (UPJ A cancer expert testified today that most filter type cigarette now on the market are more harmful than non filter types.

TRIE Swimming Pool Talk Is Revived; Groundwork Laid Revival of Interest in a community swimming pool, which eased out of the local picture with completion of Twin Lakes, took place here last night at a meeting of interested citizens representing several organizations. The meeting, held at the James Phillips residence, was termed "exploratory" to determine a cross section of opinion. Mr. Phillips said the meeting was not held for the purpose of organizing an immediate effort for a community swimming pool, but for consideration of such a project in a long range project.

Survey Planned On the basis of discussion with Mr. Phillips it was apparent that the group will study the projects at Smethport, Port Allegany and other points in this area and explore all angles in the proposal at a series of meetings. Representatives of numerous organizationsschools, the Community Development Council and others attended the initiul session to get groundwork laid for a complete survey. The possibility of a swimming pool project has been brought up from time to time in many forms. Many Ventures The last major venbure was in Southover Park where community effort went into a project of bricking the area and construction of a dam.

The project failed to meet health standards as a result of wash water and the area now is being filled. The dam was dynamited by the borough a few years ago to reduce a hazard to children playing at that point. Only a few months ago, a spontaneous effort flared briefly to utilize the big "round table" concrete pit adjacent to Poplar street on the P.R.R. siding for a swimming pool. The project had possibilities but died for lack of Interest.

The pit now Is being filled. Plans also were talked of a metal tank arrangement, for a dam in Glenwood Park, and of expanding the present "park pond'' in Evergreen Park and constructing a swimming pool. As a result of recurring difficulties at the Evergreen Park Kane borough council In recent months discussed the possibility of filling the area. IK CITS TO PLAY II 'FRISCO NEXT IT'S OFFICIAL NEW YORK (UPJ It's official! The Giants are clearing out of New York and heading for San Francisco where they plan to open for business next April. Club President Horace Stoneham has put it right on the line during a Polo Grounds press conference.

He said this will be the Giants' last year in New York. And he cited "a steady decrease in income" along with "transportation and parking problems" as the main reason for moving. The only major detail still to be ironed out, Stoneham said is the financial proposition San Francisco city officials will offer the Giants. Frisco Mayor I'leaned In Los Angeles, Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco, obviously pleased by Stoneham'g statements, said he planned to leave for New York tonight where he intends to confer with the Giants' president. Stoneham said he was going to recommend to the Giants' board of directors that the club set up shop in San Francisco next season "providing we get a good deal from that city." San Francisco officials, it is known are prepared to meet the Giants' terms.

Stoneham said the Giants would be interested in paying 6 or 7 per cent of the gate receipts as the rental fee for a ball park in San Francisco. As for the potential television revenue In San Francisco, Stoneham insisted that was not the chief lure for the Giants. "Pay or toll TV, or whatever you call it, is not the prime reason for our wanting to move," he said. "True, we are being offered more money than we get now from our television sponsor, but if we get a good deal In San Francisco, we'll take it even without that closed circuit TV." Stoneham said the Giants would be willing to play in the present Seals' stadium until a new one is built. ir weaier can convince SKepiicai Cleveland authorities, who have been deluged with confessions from crackpots and hoaxers, that he may have been the killer, Shep pard's family could move technical ly to free Dr.
