Atomic Bomb Test At Bikini Lagoon Documentary
Submerged vessels were found resting on the lagoon floor and the fate of others remained unclear. Observers watched the atomic blast create a white dome and a mushroom-like water column as waves spread and ships rocked, some listing and smoking while others seemed intact. Radioactivity forced rescue tugs back and left Arkansaw, yard oiler, and transport craft missing, with contamination spreading beyond the lagoon and fission particles raining down on nearby ships and clouds drifting northwest.

Japan Plans Export of Cotton Textiles Next Month
TOKYO AP Japan will export 50 million yards of stockpiled cotton fabrics next month at prices matching Britain and the United States. An additional 35 million yards will be ready the following month. Goods will go only to the Orient and southwest Pacific. Cotton imports from the United States reach 22 000 bales weekly, boosting production to 65 million yards by September, with at least 50 million yards earmarked for export. Before the war Japan shipped 2.5 billion yards annually, but recent entrants to world markets and wartime U S producers likely prevent restoration of prewar supremacy.
