WOODSFIELD SOLDER WITNESSED FIRING
Pfc. Charles E. Reischman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Reischman of Woodsfield Route 3, witnessed the first testfiring of an atomic shell from the army's gian cannon at Camp Desert Rock, Nev. He was one of nearly 3,000 officers and enlisted men, most of them artillerymen, who crouched behind revetments 4,500 yards from ground zero as scientists fired the huge 280 mm artillery piece by electrical control from a tower ten miles away.
Before the actual firing of the atomic shell, the group was thoroughly indoctrinated in atomic warfare techniques and took part in experimental firing of conventional non-atomic projectiles from the mammoth weapon.
Private First Class Reishchman is a heavy equipment operator in the 75th Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion's Hedquarters Battery. Before entering the Army in January 1952, Reischman was a faarmer. He is a 1949 graduate of Lewisville high school.
