The “Evening News” says that Britain may even ask the United States for permission to use Eniwetok. The scientists are also considering Antarctica, says the newspaper. There is a possibility that the Commonwealth expedition setting out to cross Antarctica next year will find a place suitable for H-bomb experiments.
