How it is shown: Complete, unchanged clipping; no retouch. The clipped selection is the complete article -- no survivors, wife or son are named anywhere in it, resolving the earlier "may name living survivors" flag. Note: this contemporary report gives 1950 for the Eniwetok test; the Army Register-sourced claim elsewhere on this page gives December 1942 for his Major General promotion and the family's secondary Wikipedia account places the Eniwetok test in 1952 -- kept as recorded, not silently resolved.
