...Leet, professor of Geology, will spend his summer supervising explosions involving as much as 320,000 pounds of TNT, in a program sponsored by the Army to learn what underground structures can best resist disintegration...
...five months long experiments, which begin June 1, will take place in Utah and Colorado. Seismologist Leet will take charge of instruments recording the effects of explosives on various types of underground tunnels and shelters...
...Leet, professor of Geology, announced yesterday the development of a technique by which earthquake-recorders can discover and chart storms over 1000 miles away. The College's new seismograph, which made its debut last month, may make the weather-man's job 25 percent more accurate, he said...
