Nuclear Test Today
LAS VEGAS, Nev., April 5 (P). LAS VEGAS, NeV., April 5 (P.
--Atomic scientists changed
their minds today and resched-
uled for 9 a. m. tomorrow the
highest nuclear test made in the
United States. An earlier an-
nouncement said. there would be
no test tomorrow because of un- no test tomorrow because of un-
favorable weather. However, a
later re-evaluation apparently later re-evaluation apparently
indicated improving wind condi-
