P- The eighth atomic blast of the spring series flashed across the Southern Nevada sky before dawn today. The detonation was touched off at the government's Yucca Flat test site at 4:55 a. m. (Pacific Daylight Time) and was clearly visible here, 65 miles from the site.

The flash appeared to be more orange in color than most previous shots. Possibly this was because of clouds, which were clearly illuminated by the intense light. Shortly after the detonation, the Atomic Energy Commission announced that the shot was from a 300-foot tower and that approximately 751 mice were used in tests for radioactivity effects. The announcement did not say how close to ground zero the animals were placed. WVIM PROGRAMS FRIDAY'S PROGRAMS Morning 6.00-Wake-Up Time in Dixie.
