, page eight Troops Survive A-Blast ATOM BOMB SITE, Nev., April 22— (/P) —An atom bomb, its searing heat and blast of unusual ferocity, was exploded today as 5500 troops huddled in foxholes along an Atomic warfare “battle front.- ’ The soldiers were unhurt by the mighty Explosion, proving that foxholes can shelter men from even the world’s most des- tructive' weapon. Seconds after the explosion of the bomb, drop ped from a B-50 and detonated at 3500 feet only about 3% miles from the troops, the soldiers and the generals who were with them stood up and laughed. These men were nearer than any human had been, except in heavy concrete bunkers —and ex cept for the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki who saw the bomb closer and died. . Lt. Gen. Joseph M. Swing, one of three generals in the foxholes, was flown back to the observers’ post to report. He said: “The young men were laugh ing arid cracking jokes. They are confident that ordinary fortifica tion can protect them.” Swing, Sixth Army commander, his coveralls gray with the dust that blanketed the troops in a tremendous cloud as the explosion hammered the desert floor, said that “the worst that most of us got was a mouthful of dirt.” There is no place in Denmark which is more than 506. feet above sea levell THE DAILY COLLEGIAN: STATE COLLEGE.: PENNSYLVANIA- Ask Truman Impeachment WASHINGTON, April 22—(/P) Senatorial critics of President Truman’s seizure of the steel in dustry failed by a narrow mar gin today in a move to deprive him entirely of federal funds to operate the mills. In the house, meanwhile, a resolution was introduced to im peach him for the seizure. There were predictions it probably never would come to a House vote. But the Senate banking com mittee launched a move which may exert more, pressure on the administration. It voted to inves tigate government handling of the steel dispute—and to hold up ac tion meantime on a bill >to ex tend the wage-price controls pro gram.
