ATOMIC BOMB BRAIN TRUST. On March 20, 

 1946 Major General Leslie R. Groves, Command- 

 ing General of the Manhattan Engineer District, 

 presented the Medal for Merit and citations from 

 President Truman to five University of Chicago 

 scientists known throughout the world for their 

 pioneer researches in nuclear physics. Left to 

 right: Gen. Groves; Enrico Fermi, self-exiled Italian 

 physicist and Nobel Prize winner, who built the 

 first slow-neutron chain-reaction pile (fall of 1942); 

 Robert S. Stone, visiting professor of roentgenol- 

 ogy; Harold C. Urey, Nobel Prize winner, dis- 

 coverer of heavy water; Samuel K. Allison, Director 

 of the M.E.D. Metallurgical Laboratory at Chi- 

 cago; and Cyril Smith, an associate division head 

 at Los Alamos in charge of preparation of fission- 

 able materials for bomb construction. 



AT HOME ABROAD. OPPOSITE. King Juda, sit- 

 ting on bench, relaxes with some of his subjects 

 and listens to the regular noonday broadcast from 

 Station WXLG on Kwajalein, 250 miles south of 

 Bikini. This photograph was taken on Rongerik 

 Island, 130 miles east of Bikini, to which the Bi- 

 kinians were evacuated after their island had been 

 selected as the site of the atomic bomb tests. 

 Buildings of the new village on Rongerik appear 

 in the background. The Kwajalein station makes 

 regular broadcasts to the natives within listening 

 distance. Bikini folk take pride in their one radio 

 receiver, powered by a small generator presented 

 to them by the Navy. No need to use Winston 

 Churchill's admonition "More tooth!" when photo- 

 graphing these natives. Their excellent sense of 

 humor is evident.
