AIR SHIPMENTS (MATS) -- EPG TO JOHNSTON ISLAND May June 329 31,995 July 17,664 Total 49,988 lb In addition two special MATS flights were completed between Newburgh, New York, and EPG carrying 46,000 lb of IBM equipment. This equipment was returned from EPG to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the same manner, Tt was ascertained that it would be too expensive to rehabilitate the liquid nitrogen plant in the CMR Compound and hire trained personnel to operate it, so in order to supply liquid nitrogen to the scientific groups using this item, a 6000-liter dewar trailer partly filled was shipped on the Brostom to Parry. This large storage dewar was kept filled by semiweekly shipments from Honolulu by air in 500-liter dewar trailers. Thirteen thousand liters of liquid nitrogen were purchased by LASL from Gaspro in Honolulu for air shipment to Parry. The liquid hydrogen plant was not put into operation for the same rea- sons. To meet the requirement for this item one 6000-liter dewar trailer of liquid hydrogen was shipped by water to Eniwetok just before it was needed. Resupply of this item was not required. 3.5 MOVEMENT OF DEVICES AND COMPONENTS Devices and components were moved to the Forward Area by MATS special air missions, with the exception of on the USS Boxer. The which were shipped were shipped by Task Unit 4 and the AEC to San Diego for loading on the USS Boxer in mid-February 1958. The weapons were stowed in a hangar deck shop and in the ship's weapon magazines. Stowage space was guarded by USMC guards. The USS Boxer arrived at the Eniwetok Proving Ground on March 3, 1958. An additional were flown to the EPG on a SAM C-124 which arrived at the EPG March 13, 1958. For Operation Newsreel it was necessary to fly the from Eniwetok to the Waikele branch of NAD, Oahu, by SAM C-124's as follows: June 15, 1958, units 1 and 4; June 20, 1958, units 2 and 5; June 25, 1958, unit 3, plus 5000 Ib of gear. The experimental devices from LASL were moved in several ways from the Laboratory to Travis AFB, which was the aerial port for shipment of weapons. As a rule small weapons were moved bv Carco C-54 from the Santa Fe Airport, but if total load did not exceed they were flown from the Los Alamos airstrip by C-47. Weapons exceeding the capability of the C-54 were flown out of Santa Fe by C-124 and in the case of Piron (UN shot never fired), from Kirtland, on the SAM C-124 which flew the weapon to the EPG via Travis and Hickam. Experimental devices from UCRL were moved from Livermore to Travis by truck, with the exception of Poplar, Sycamore, and Pine, which were picked up at Knoxville, Tenn., by SAM C-124's. UCRL preferred to 82
