Navy Told To Cut Out Chatty Notes
The Atomic Energy Commission told the Navy to stop chatty letters home from personnel who witnessed atomic tests. After letters from task force crews at Eniwetok in 1952, officials said safeguards will be in force for upcoming tests. Ship and base commanders will ensure members do not describe tests in personal letters, though broad mail censorship seems unlikely outside war or emergency.
