OPERATION KILOWATT HOUR. At Kwajalein 

 Island, during an important period in the prepara- 

 tory phase of the atomic tests, electric power on 

 the island, normally supplied by two 250-kilowatt 

 generators, suddenly failed, with no possibility of 

 repair until special parts had been obtained from 

 the United States. To bridge the gap a destroyer 

 eguipped with special generator facilities was dis- 

 patched to Kwajalein, to serve as the Kwajalein 

 supply for as long as necessary. Shown above, 

 amphibious members of the 2,750 Air Corps per- 

 sonnel stationed in the Marshalls bring ashore from 

 a power boat (not shown) the end of an electrical 

 cable extending under water to the destroyer in 

 the background.
