A-Bomb Test Under Desert Mesa Fails to Tremble Earth
An underground atomic test at an arid site produced only dust puffs and rock falls. Earthquakes and seismographs showed little to no surface disturbance as observers 24 miles away felt nothing. AEC officials reported no radioactivity escaped and the chamber was heavily instrumented for data on the earth's crust.

Orders 100,000 Cut In Military
Secretary of Defense Wilson announced another 100,000 military manpower cut to reduce spending as the debt limit looms. The move, approved by President Eisenhower, aims to trim civilian payrolls by 35,000 to 49,000 and reduce armed strength to 2.6 million. Wilson, retiring next month, expects more cuts in January and notes the effort should not impair national security.
