ARMY CAN BREAK Farnborough - An Important

THROUGH AFTER ATOMIC ATTACK

Yucca Flats, June 13,

Tanks and mobile troops without special equipment can pour through an enemy line shattered by an atomic explosion in exactly the same way as they exploit a conventional artillery and bombing barrage.

The United States Army's knowledge of the "atomic. battlefield" took a major step forward on May 5, when for the first time it manned tanks within 3,100 yards of the 35 kiloton "open shot" here, then sent them forward for a "break- through" within minutes of the detonation.

The tanks had to turn away from ground zero"-the ex- plosion point-at about 1,000 yards because of high radiation, but even so the resistance of

The Society of British Aircraft Constructors will stage its 16th Flying Display and Static Exhibition in September this year and, once again, The Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, will become for one week the focal point of the aviation world.

Pilots, engineers, Service chiefs, heads of the world's great airlines, technicians, designers, reporters everyone who is anyone in the aircraft industries of the free world-will be there, discussing, writing, photographing and observing. It is the annual meeting place of the international aeronautical fraternity.
