Fifth Time H Bomb Test Postponed On Weather
Aboard USS Mt McKinley at Eniwetok Atoll adverse weather forced the fifth postponement of the H bomb test shot. Rear Adm Hanlon said a Monday morning U.S. time target remains possible with partial wind improvement but unstable conditions may persist. Feasible conditions depend on winds from Japan. The Marshall Islands natives and about 12,400 Americans in the task force could be affected by fallout if winds shift southeast or south. The test is tied to a potential warhead for a guided missile, with prior May 5 surface explosion noted as a possible test for such a device.
