Early speculation that a hydrogen bomb might have bee ntested has been discounted. A Washington State congress- man, Henry Jackson, gave out the first word of the test at Hon- olulu. Jackson said he had «at tended the test on Enwetok. And tater here. A member of the Se nate-House atomic committer said the test had been finished. The Atomic energy commission which announced the tests would be made some time ago, would not comment. But there is a pos- sibility that the AEC may make a formal announcement later to day. The AEC had said earlier it would pass along results of its tests to civilian defense authori- ties and to architects. Struetures for the test were set up over an 18-month period by civilian con struction workers. Window Screens 25c and Up..
