YOUNG MOTHER HUBBARDS VIEWABLE PHO- 

 TOGRAPH. At Rongerik Island, former Bikini 

 residents in their traditional modest Mother Hub- 

 bard smocks crowd forward for a better view of 

 a Test Able photograph. In remotest San Fran- 

 cisco, 4200 miles from this scene, newspapers re- 

 ceived initial photographs of the mushroom cloud 

 a mere three hours after the bomb was detonated, 

 a new time record for radio photograph transmis- 

 sion over such a distance. Transmissions were 

 made from mobile units aboard "Mount McKin- 

 ley," "Appalachian," and the Army communication 

 ship "Spindle Eye." During July the "Mount 

 McKinley" alone transmitted 400 photographs.
