Next Atomic Tests to Be on Delivery
Honolulu May 19 UP The United States concludes testing at Eniwetok proving ground marks the next phase toward designing delivery systems for atomic bombs. Joint Task Force 7 leader Gen John Hull says surface detonations tested powerful fissionable materials including possible new explosive types. Dr Carol Froman notes unspecified material may be tested to reduce dependence on imported raw materials. Tests aimed to ensure efficient use of national resources for atomic energy development and application. The task force plans to roll up operations and depart the Marshalls, leaving a garrison for future tests. Hull states tests were field laboratory efforts to verify bomb performance and efficiency for the U.S. government.

Sy Boyle mocks push-button warfare and imagines a peace driven by portable guided missiles. He envisions pocket missiles controlled by voice or thumb, used for benign tasks like rounding up cattle, shooing dogs, calling taxis, or catching burglars, while warning of early abuses. He argues for a real peacetime gadget yet cautions against misuses that Congress would need to curb.
