Equipped with bulldozers and trucks, a contingent of U.S. G.I.s late in 1952 began to rearrange the sand dunes of Uchinada, a small (pop. 5,953) fishing village 200 miles west of Tokyo. The U.S. Army had taken over about four square miles of Uchinada's sand and ocean as a firing range on which to test the Japanese-made artillery ammunition that it was buying in million-dollar lots. Before long, 105-mm. and 155-mm. shells were whooshing over Uchinada's beaches...

Head-On Accelerator. Another team of dealers in magnetic fields. Dr. Lawrence W. Jones of the University of Michigan and Tihiro Ohkawa of Tokyo University, told their colleagues about a new and cataclysmic kind of atom smasher. The most powerful one in operation at present is the Bevatron at Berkeley (6 billion electron volts), and a 25-Bev monster is under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. These are rather puny little gadgets, think Jones and Ohkawa. The way to get real power is to force head-on collisions between high-speed particles...
