DIP TO STILL SPANISH FEARS
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) PALOMARES (Spain). March 8. United States and Spanish dignitaries came to Palomares Beach yesterday for a preseason dip designed to banish fears that the water is radioactive, the Associated Press reported.
The United States Ambassa-, dor, Mr Angier Biddle Duke, the Spanish Information Minister, Mr Manuel Fraga Iribarne, and the Aviation Minister, Lieutenant-General Jose Lacalle, and members of their families are expected to swim before television and news cameras. The high-level splashing is an effort to dispel fears that the local tourist industry may be hard hit as a result of the
United States bomber crash on January 17 with the loss of pari of its nuclear bomb load. The temperature of the water was about 59 today. The swim today will be coupled with a formal inauguration by Mr Eraga Iribarne of a new Government-run tourist hotel within view of Palomares Beach. As the officials and other families swim the search will continue both ashore and off the coast for the H-bomb, one of four carried by the bomber.
