Biggest Brass Will Witness Bikini Tests
Washington reports that three of the four Joint Chiefs of Staff will observe the Bikini atoll atom bomb tests to judge effects on ships and equipment. General Eisenhower will attend, as will Nimitz aides and General Spaatz. Leahy likely stays home. Vice Admiral Blandy says the test is a fully joint effort with no bias toward bomb or vessels. The plan aims to gauge damage using instruments and live animals, not to wipe out the fleet.
