Comparing New Bomb With Earthquake Silly
Reverend Frederick W. Sehan of Georgetown University’s seismograph observatory said it is as silly to compare an atomic bomb explosion with an earthquake as it is to pit an ant against an elephant. He noted yesterday’s phone inquiries about the seismograph and stated that neither the New Mexico practice bombing nor the Japan attack affected the earthquake record. The Georgetown seismograph has logged 24 hours daily since 1922 and has rarely recorded man-made disturbances.
