A special Navy train froni Washington carrying more than 230 observers of the Bikini atom bomb experiment, Left today. There were fourteen American, two Dutch, two Egypfian, two Russian, two Polish, one JBritisli, one French and one Chinese scientists aboard, says the Australian Associated Press correspondent who is also accompanytng the parly to Bikini. The scientists are physicists, mathematicians, geologists, oceanographers, biologists, chemists, metallurgists and engineers. A casual conversation with thern usually opens with the statement of how little they know. This is a voyage of discovery for" each. The biologists hope " to discover what happens -to radioactive ingredieiits in food. The oceanographers seek to discover how water moves. The geologists will probe into rock formations. The chemists will try to solve the secret of certain natural combinations they have been unable to reproduce in test tubes. None seems concerned with the bombs' destrucfive potentialities. That always seems to be somehody else's job. There were also aboard a number of American Naval and Army scientists and foreign military and naval observers' but the bulk of the train's passengers was made up of 160 American and ten foreign press representativcs. The cost of the experiment is estimated at 500,000,000 dollars. The original value of the ships involved was more than 400,000,000 dollars but most thereof was already scheduled for the junk heap. Their scrap value is about 4,000,000 dollars.
