BIKINI NATIVES CHOOSE NEW 'MARSHALL' HOME WASHINGTON, D. The first displaced persons of the atomic age, the natives of the bomb-test of Bikini, finally have found a permanent home. After temporary moves to sevferal islands, the Bikinians have chosen small but fertile Kili, in the southern Marshalls, over the United States Navy's alternate recommendation, Wotho, in the norihern part of the group. The Navy announces that the move to the new location has been completed. Kili is one of the few single islands of the Marshalls, the National Geographic Society notes.

Most of the other thirty-four scattered land spots are in the atoll form of coral islets enclosing a lagoon. The Bikinians, according to re-! ports, will miss their old lagoon for sailing and fishing. They expect, however, to collect considerably more copra from Kili's coconut trees than they were able to gather on Bikini. The new island. although only a mile long, also grows bread-fruit and is described as one of the most productive of the Marshall group.
