Letters to newspapers seldom mentioned it. Those which did were mostly concerned with its subsidiary aspects. Some indignant citizens took pen in hand last week to protest the Navy's plan to expose a group of dogs and goats in the forthcoming tests at Bikini Atoll. A few jittery West Coast housewives made inquiries as to the possibility of the Bikini blast setting up 1) a high wind, 2) a tidal wave, 3) an earthquake.

That made the staff even madder; they scribbled out a protest direct to General Douglas MacArthur. Last week MacArthur's inspector general, Colonel E. J. Dwan, answered them. Said he: "There is abundance of evidence that reflects adversely on the 'discretion and integrity' of [Pettus and Rubin]. It is evidenced that each has held membership in the . . . Communist Party and has at times flavored his public writings with Communistic thought...
