U.S. NUCLEAR TEST
(N.Z. Press Assn..—Copyright) PAHUTE MESA (Nevada), May 25.
Scientists triggered a giant underground thermonuclear device on Tuesday, the fourth in the United States in less than a year. The device had a maximum force 50 times larger than the bomb which destroyed Hiroshima during the Second World War. The hydrogen weapon, which jolted tall gambling resorts in . Las Vegas more than 100 miles away, was exploded only four days after a similar device was tested in the Yucca Flats area of the Nevada test site.
