The information was meager. It |was contained in a series of pho- | tographs, released by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and to be in- cluded in a souvenir booklet which showed the modern weapon in ex- plosion tests off the mid-Pacific island base set up for such experi- mentation. The pictures showed that: —Atom bombs were detonated both over and under the Pacific | Ocean surface, and over a land mass. | z~N0 great amount of water was displaced by the undersea burst, | whereas vast areas of sea were blast- | | ed high into the sky during the 1946 | [ tests at Bikini. | M-G-M —The familiar “mushroom” which rose after earlier A-bomb explo- sions was absent. The burst and cloud formations looked like a dif- fused sunset rather than the well- defined mushroom-shaped cloud and smoke formations. The commission, in releasing the pictures unaccompanied by any news statement pointedly recalled that on May 17, 1948, an AEC report to the President said: “The (Eniwetok) tesis, In- volving three atomic weapons, each of improved design, were successful in all respects and ' the results indicate very sub- stantial progress.” The story of the hour — the buming topic of the moment— the greatest “must” enter- tainment of all motion picture history!| Starring e ; BRIAN DONLEVY - ROBERT WALKER win TOM BEVERLY .
