HOW TO DELIVER AN ATOM BOMB The latest theory concerned. with the method the Russians will use in delivering an atom bomb attack on U.S, cities assumes a ship will be used to transport the | bomb. Presumably. the ship will be moored to a wharf in! New York or Chicago, where an explosion would wipe out most of the city within a mile or two of the wharf, This theory follows closely behind the British atom bomb detonation off Australia. In that blast, near the Monte Bello Islands, a ship was used and the bomb ac- tually was detonated while inside a 1,450-ton fri Nothing was left of the ship except a few red hot g- ments, which started fires on one of the nearby islands, The test demonstrates that the atomic blast is almost as effective, even when touched off from the inside of a small ship, as when detonated in the open. Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer is on record as having told a Congressiona! investigating committee once that no detection instrument would enable an inspector to find out if a box or crate contained an atomic bomb. It is said that the only instrument which will enable detection of such a bomb is a screwdriver. It becomes clear that the threat of an atomic attack, delivgred by a harfnless-looking ship, is a serious one. In time of war, or extreme crisis, the larger ports may be forced to refuse entry to questionable vessels. This could produce loading and unloading delays ard a slowdown in industrial operations, However, it might be the only way to prevent the destruction of our larger port cities. It is also suggested tha: ships mooring at the wharves in larg- er port cities may be required to keep their full personnel complement aboard at all times, n an effort to reduce the possibility of a Trojan Horse atomic attack. Unfortunately, there is no sure safeguard against such a deceptive attack and the threat of it must be f aced by the country’s port cities in the coming years Democ es in spite the process ) at the Parties’ nominating conventions We are a patriotic people th eds admirals and generals, it can get 1 out a trouble.
