"The main shaft runs straight

Off the .main shafts are the

the least amount of tunneling.
The AEC’s last nuclear test,
Oct. 30, 1958, was a small one,
code-named Titania, equal to just
300 pounds of TNT. Titania was
the 103rd in the .Nevada series,
which started,Jan. 27, 1951, with
operation Ranger, a 1.27 kiloton
device (one kiloton is equal to
1,000 pounds of TNT).
Some of the underground tests
held prior to the ban ripped out
500 to 600 feet of tunneling, the
earth erupting into vast spheres
of fused glass more than 100 feet
in diameter—similar to the way
sand is transformed into glass

The AEC also has used towers,
balloons and air drops to explode
WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen*,
W, Fulbright, D-Ark, says men-
acing conditions in Berlin, Laos
and Cuba have enhanced chances
for congressional approval of
President Kennedy’s foreign aid
program.
Fulbright said Secretary of
State Dean Rusk made an excel-
lent presentation of these condi-
tions Thursday in a three-hour
closed session of the Senate Fop
eigr Relations Committee.
Fulbright, chairman of the com-
mittee, reported Rusk’s views to
newsmen, Rusk told the commit-
tee that menacing conditions
around the world made it inad-
visable to slash the $4.8 billion
progtam.
"Hie pressures to approve
will be very great,". Fulbright
said. "The country is nervous
about the outlook and the critical
atmosphere will resolve doubts in
favor of the bill.”
Rusk told newsmen after testi-
fying that "there undoubtedly
will be acfjustments made in the
bill in the course of continuing
consultations” with the commit-
