Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "It's just a trick, of course, but if an atomic bomb ever is detonated over Oklahoma City, here is the photogrpher's idea of what it might be like. Unable to make the buildings shimmy and shake as he looked east from the city hall on NW 1, he resorted to trickery in the dark room. The above picture is the result, he said, of controlled reticulation. That means dipping a negative in hot water to make part of it "run" before printing from it. Regardless, the girl in the foreground seems duly impressed. She is another addition to picture, conveniently placed after the original shot was made. (T-1-25-50?): No A-bomb blast in Civic Center, Yet. This picture is the ingenious result of a photographer's proof that picture's can lie. And sometimes the lie may prove even closer to the true story of what happened than an actual photograph of the happening. At least, that may be the case if the theories voiced bt G. R. McAlpine, oklahoma City Fire Chief and president of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, is correct......"
