PLAN FOR UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR TESTS
Detonation Would Eliminate Fallout
Washington, May 28.
A plan to detonate some nuclear weapons underground so that the resulting radioactive materials would be confined is being worked out by the Atomic Energy Commission, an AEC official said today.
The official, Mr Gordon M. Dunning of the AEC's division of biology and medicine, said in a testimony prepared for the Joint Atomic Energy Sub-committee of the Senate and the House of Representatives that such an underground detona- tion would eliminate radioactive fall-out. ́·

DOES THIS BRING BACK MEMORIES? ECONOMY BLOC Capability
For those who were there and those who were not, this is a picture that will bring back poignantly the dark days of 1940 when, blasted by Nazi bombers and artillery, British and French troops lay on the beaches of Dunkirk awaiting the "little ships" that would take them back, defcated but not down, to "Blighty." This was the realistic scene on the beaches at Camber Sands, near Rye, Sussex, two weeks ago, when the herole scenes of 17 years ago' were re-enacted for the film "Dunkirk.”—Reuterphoto.
