Delayed Diablo Bomb Explosion At Atomic Test Site
The Diablo device, fired at 4 30 am pacific daylight time atop a 500 foot platform at the AEC proving ground in Nevada, produced a nuclear style fireball and mushroom cloud visible from Los Angeles and San Francisco. Observers noted a thick stem and purple edge glow as the fireball rose to 15 000 feet within two minutes. Helicopters and tracking planes from bases including Orlando Wright Patterson and western air bases monitored the test with 500 military observers present. An underground shelter 2 000 feet from ground zero housed as many as 17 people to monitor radiation before emerging once counts cooled. The test was designed by UC Radiation Laboratory Livermore California and involved about 2 000 feet from ground.

Polish Girl Finally Back With Parents
Olga Bozyk, 15, arrived in the United States with her mother after a decade of separation. Her mother, Mrs. Walter Bozyk, had fought to reclaim her daughter from Warsaw, borrowing $7,000 and enduring custody battles.

The girl, taken to a German slave labor camp as a child, had been found by Polish authorities and returned to her mother after a long legal and personal struggle. Yesterday the family began reuniting, with Olga’s feelings shifting toward acceptance.
