"When used in this manner," Blandy said, "the atomic bomb could -be considered poison Invisible radiations from the heart of unstable atoms produced by the burst can be detected only with delicate instruments called Geiger counters. Moreover, they are not, like the physical violence of the bomb, confined necessarily to the nearest ships.

Blandy found high concentrations of radioactivity in some areas on the fringes of the target array where the poisonous shower was carried by winds. The ships Blandy boarded were considered "cool" as compared with others, but still dangerous. Blandy said the current efforts to decontaminate the vessels were giving the navy "very valuable experience." He added that many men of the armed forces were "becoming radioactivity conscious and radioactivity wise" as the result of the Baker test. Pacific Ave. Santa Cr'uz.

A leading scientist predicted today that atomic power may be running ocean-going ships within five years and producing huge amounts of electricity within two years. Dr. A.

Higinbothem, chairman of the Federation of American Scientists, said the unimagined secrets now being unfolded through atomic research foretell the greatest economic revolution in history, lie said scientists look upon tomorrow the anniversary of the Hiroshima A-bcribing as the "unhappy birthday' of the atomic age because "the public still thinks of atomic energy primarily as a weapcn." "They do not realize that atomic medicine h-- already saved tens of thousands of lives, that in five years atomic power may be pro- "pelling ships, and that in perhaps two years atomic fuels will be pro- ducing electric power at Oak Ridge, Higenbotham said. He said that atom-produced electric energy at Oak Ridge home of the atomic bomb would not be merely an experimental sample, buta vast amount rivaling the output- of a huge dam. Higinbotham, in a Hiroshima anniversary statement, pointed out that the radioactive isotopes such as the ones which the Oak Ridg2 laboratories turned over to civilian institutions last week, already have proved their worth in medicine.

Bartholomew United Press Siaff Correspondent Aboard Gambling Ship Lux, Off Southern California, Aug. 8 (U.R) The poor old Pacific, having survived a war involving the nations of all its shorelines and two atomic bombs in the solar plexis at Bikini. Wednesday accepted to its wearv bosom the million dollar gambling inventions and devices of Antonio Cornero Stralla. Some 5000 persons came out from Long Beach to see what it was all about, including your cor respondent.

Mr. Stralla's premises, the United Press learned, begin with with an elaborate parking lot for several thousand cars at Long Beach, presided over by an army of husky gents in uniforms wearing big buttons labeling themselves as "Newton Police," whatever that is. At the parking lot we found Stralla flanked by his attorney, Samuel L. Rummel. Stralla, 46, born in Italy, is pale of face and with an extraordinarily level eye, looking like a George Raft who means business.

His shirt was open at the throat, his necktie hanging loose. "What am I doing here?" he asked us. "Well, the D. A. said hs was going to look me over, so I thought I'd wait at the entrance and look the overlookers." Leaving Stralla guarding his moat, we joined a long line waiting water transportation from the shore to his ship, anchored six miles out.

Packed 60 to a boat and with 12 boats plying continuously (plus eight more in reserve) we yielded four bits per head for the hour nae out to me iux. With -a long red neon tube from bow to stern, she looked in the dusk like an aircraft carrier, but once aboard she looked like a composite of all the gambling clubs in Nevada laid end to end. The gaming room is finished in white, lighted with luminescent tubes and lined with bars at which highballs were available at 75 cents per copy and no change unless you chased the bartender. Just under 3000 persons were patronizing the games and the bar, ministered to by 500 gamblers, bartenders, waiters and burly gentlemen with white caps labeled "Assistant Master at Arms," apparently a nautical term for seagoing bouncers. Making our modest contribution to Stralla's offerings on the main deck, we ascended to a dining room where rumor had it that large steaks were to be had.

This dining room featured a dancing floor, exactly 10 feet in one direction by seven in the other. A wait of an hour produced no food but did produce Mrs. Antonio Cornero Stralla, a beautiful blonde young lady, late of the moving pictures, who complained that no one seemed to know her so she couldn't get any food either, even if her husband did own the joint. "How long will this riot keep up?" we asked Mrs. Stralla.

(AP Wirephoto) Monterey Fire Chief Back At His Job Today Monterey, Aug. 8 (U.R). Fire Chief Harvey T. Morgan was back at his job today.

He resumed his duties last night less than 24 hours after he had been dismissed on advice of local attorneys that under the city charter action by the city council dismissing him was illegal. Ralph Marron, local attorney, at a meeting of the hastily organized Monterey Citizens' committee for better government, Tuesday afternoon publicly advised Morgan to return to his job. Marron additionally advanced the question of the legality of appointment of a city manager pro-tern, a job given City Clerk Clyde Dorsey, last week. With Attorney John Martin and George Gleason concurring, Marron said, "It is my opinion that legally the city of Monterey now. is with out a city manager and that the irechief was ousted illegally."

Atomic medicine, Higinbotham said, has produced "miraculous cures," while its possibilities for the future are unlimited. "Atomic drugs" the radioactive isotopes are known to have cured pernicious anemia, and the possibilities for cancer are great, although still in the experimental stage, he said.

"We have got a great ship. There are 126 investors in it with me, many of them from Nevada. Everything is on the up and up. Those hundreds of new slot machines they really pay off to the players. Why not when mamma comes aboard with papa who wants to shoot a hundred bucks or so at the crap tables, she wants to amuse herself with the nickel slot machines, and she does not want to lose.

We don't w-ant her to lose either, so those machines pay off, so we'll see mamma and papa back again next week."
