Two Lovely Ladies are Doomed in Doom Town
An atomic bomb with twice the power of the monstrous weapon that leveled the Japanese city of Hiroshima will be fired from atop a 500-foot tower at Yucca Flats on Tuesday, to test our military and civil defense arm. A little hamlet has been built to be destroyed seconds after the bomb is touched off. Above are two feminine mannequins which have been placed in a bed in a manner simulating actual living persons. In all there will be 65-majoy associated experiments emerging from the titanic blast.
