3,000 Tons Of Bombs To Be

Exploded In New Guinea

Sydney, Sept. 28.-There's going to be a big bang in New Guinea early next year.

The Australian army and air force are planning to set off 3.000 tons of bombs in one mighty blast. It will rank with the biggest half dozen man-made explosions of the world.

The others were the blasis of five atom bombs, and the detonation of 8300 tons of high explosive on Hellgoland, Ger- man fortress island, in April, 1947,

The bombs will go up at a dump at Tadj} Neur, the big wartime base of Aftape, on New Guinea's north-east coast, They were left over from World War II.

Belentlets from Britain and Australia will be there to study the effect of the blast on the earth's crust. About 29 selima- graph recording stations will be scattered around the Tadji ex- plosion area. Some will be quite close, Others will be hun- dreds of miles away.

The noise of the explosion aftould be big enough to be heard hundreds of miles away-Associated Press.
