" The rocket bombs were dif ferent. They traveled faster than the speed of sound. The first thing you knew about them was when they HIT, If you had been listening for it (which, you wiene't; having plenty else to think about by then) you could have heard the sound of their approach CATCHING UP with them arter they struck. ONE hit over In the City of Lore don, close by the Thames. It hit a modern concrete and steel building used as a wholesale food market and went through the '."roof and the upper floors' and then pierced the yard -stick, strongly reinforced floor and penetrated Into an underground railroad station below, buried it self In the floor of that and ex ploded. - All that is left of the building is a hole, gaping and ragged, through which you look down Into the Underground tube. A total of 137 people were killed, not cleanly, decently killed but blown into bloody shreds that spattered the splintered walls. It was a incut market, along with the rest, and contained a huge supply of horse meat, which also was blasted and shattered and smeared about. When the smoke and the rust and the fumes cleared, it was a ghastly sight as . they describe it to you. In ad dition to the killed 500 people were injured. THE bombers, of course, were old stuff. There were methods of defense against them. The buzzbombs, in time, became old stuff, and methods of defense against them were developed not effective in every case naturally, but CUTTING DOWN the menace, causing you to feel that measure of fierce pride, If not actual security, that conies wjth hitting back effectively at your enemy. There was NO DEFENSE (J''nst the rocket bombs. When they vyere launched, they soared miles Up Into the sky In a vast arc andi they came moi-e or less straight) down.

Stanton The time when War means annihilation of whole popula tions seems to be drawing nearer and nearer. Since the days when men fought with clubs and stones, war has grown progressively destructive to life and property as the spear, bow and arrow, catapults, and other weapons were added to facilities for conflict. The invention of gun powder and its application to rifles, pistols and cannon added the element of distance, removing the factor of ex clusively hand-to-hand fighting. Range of guns was limited, but the airplane came into the picture, bombs replacing long range artillery. Steadily the capacity of the airplane has been increased and distance has been added to its range of operation. Now comes the atomic bomb, a product of American scientific research and ingenuity, solving a secret which scientists for ages have been endeavoring to wrest from the myriad mysteries of the universe. It unleashes a new destructive force, more powerful than the mind of man has previously been able to conceive. Its application as a weapon of war is terrible to contemplate. How much longer can man continue his inventions of destruction with out destroying mankind? The principle of the new explosive the United States has unleashed upon Japan is explained by Howard W. Blakeslee, Associated Press science editor, as follows : The sun's power Is the sun's heat. For years scientists have known that this heat could not come from ordinary fires like any known on the earth's face. The sun Just wasn't big enough to have lasted the billions of years during which there Is plenty of evidence it has been burning at the present rate. tn ordinary fire, molecules of wood, coal or whatever else Is blazing, separate. As they come apart, the energy which held them together, Is released In the form of heat, light and other rays, like X-rays. Even a hot fire gives off a bit of X-rays. The sun burns not by separation of molecules but by two much more intensely hot methods. One Is the atoms that form , molecules separating from each other. This kind of separa tion releases Incredibly greater amounts of heat and energy than molecule separations. But an even greater source of sun power is the fact that the atoms themselves come apart to some extent. These atoms are made of electrons, protons and other electrical and non-electrical particles. Electrons and other particles fly off the atoms. This kind of separation releases even greater energies unciumng neai ana an oiner sorts of rays) than the separa tion of atoms from each other. To solve the secret of solar power scientists of Great Britain and the United States pooled their knowledge. Working under high pressure and in the greatest secrecy they solved Ihe problem, added by the tremendous industrial and financial resources of the A curious study in contrasts Wash., where the nature of the intrigued curiosity of Pacific coast residents, has been revealed. While scientists worked with chemicals measured in fractions of micrograms micrograms) construction crews moved 25,000,000 cubic yards of earth, placed 780,000 cubic yards of concrete, used 40,000 tons of steel, 1,500,000 concrete blocks. 750,000 bricks, and enough poles to build a power line from Chi cago to St. Louis. But from the microscopic which scientists started their work, they have produced quantities sufficient to totally wreck the industries of the Japanese homeland. The production miracle.may be better understood lrom the report one year ago only about 10 tnird ot an ounce, or this powerful material was in production. Harnessing the atom released powerful new forces which may revolutionize our daily mtherto unknown source of energy. The material may be used to destroy or build civilization. Used in warfare it could create greater destruction than has ever been known in the history of mankind. Turned into peaceful channels it can raise civilization to new high levels. Future use depends entirely upon the ability of peoples of the world to live in harmony and peace. Perhaps the threat of the atomic bomb will serve to produce the uni versal peace which mankind has so long desired but has been unable to obtain through treaties or pacts.

'Iff Phases of Atomic Bomb Told WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (AP) Our war tactics will be revised sharply if the atomic bomb can be delivered as simply as conven tional types. A few .fast bombers, heavily protected by liphers and flying above effective link range, could accomplish a mission which now requires hundreds of large plan es. And if the tremendous forces involved in atomic disintegration can be fully controlled they miRht be controlled either in pro pelling the bombers or seidinK out remotely controlled bombs. President Truman described the explosive charge as extreme ly small, but the official descrip tion of the July lb test in New Mexico indicates that complex and possibly heavy apparatus is necessary to detonate the charge. in view ol unollicial veneris and the official description of the test, it seems likely that the bomb Is considerably heavier than the -100 pounds indicated by a British commentator. The number of persons involved in production indicates a high coft in man hours. A very highly placed allied air official recently criticiA'd the German V-2 for its production cost, but the same ar gument would not be valid auainst the new bomb because its destructive capacity is thousands of times that of the rocket bomb. Furthermore, it may be assum ed that the atomic bomb can be dropiieil with accuracy equalling that of standard typos, while the V-J as strictly an area weapon. Fire Gremlins HO.MEDA1.K Ida..

There are two ways of looking at this terrible new power. The happier view is that militaristic minded nations no longer will dare make war and so expose themselves to annihilation. It may be that we stand on the thresh hold of an era of peace, ironically imposed on a mischievous world by fear of the most awful weapon ever devised. ' That's one wav of endln? all bombs. But there's another and less comforting viewpoint. This was rather bluntly but succinctly expressed by an editor just after news oi the atomic bomb broke. "It makes me sick at my stom ach to think of it," he said. "You wonder whether man isn't getting 100 aamnca smart, ana won t de stroy himself." Won't Be Secret Long Well, of course you can't dis count that idea. Certainly the time has arrived when, If all countries don't axrec to forsake armed aggression, nations will be liable to destruction almost over night. In this connection we should remember that the secret of the bomb perhaps won't be se cret long. The scientists of the w orld will ferret It out. The Germans all but had it when we overwhelmed them, and if they had succeeded In solving the problem, we folk of the United States and the other al lied nations today might be under Hitler's heel. President Truman himself has said that some pro tection against the bomb must be found before its secret is given to the world. World Peace Envisaged On the whole it seems logical to expect that the atomic bomb may be the rainbow of peace rather than the sign of global suicide. Surely the world has too much horse-sense to challenge such a power. Even a gangster gunman doesn't deliberately walk into machincgun fire. We get en couragement for this view in Mr. Truman's statement: "I shall give further consideration and make further recommendation to the congress as to how atomic powa can become a powerful and force ful influence towards world peace." World peace is the greatest boon rhat the discovery can bring us, so far as we can Judge now. But with peace assured, there ap parently are unlimited benefits j U. S.

Which Wav Jananf However, we still have a Job of war to clear up before we- can set the atomic bomb policing the globe. And how is this amazing development likely to affect the Japanese lmDrognoY To answer that we need to know the full Jap reaction to that first terrific atomic bomb. Thus far they have admitted cautiously its destructive power and say it did "considerable damage." Either they surrender forthwith (which any reasonable people would do) or, to use President Truman's language again, "They may ex pect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on earth." But If the misguided men of Nippon prefer to fight it out, the new bomb promises the allies an easier and much quicker end to the war. We are told that this bomb has an explosive force equal to the striking-power of a fleet of 2,000 B-29s, each carrying 10 tons of TNT. This means that huge sections of the Japanese mainland could be literally para lyzed within a few hours with the atomic bomb. Thus by using these bombs for preliminary bombardment, allied iroops couio do put ashore with ease. Indeed, judging from the advance notices of this atomic tornado, there should be no oppo sition to the Initial landing at all. In any event, without pushing our optimism too hard, we can assume that the complexion of the war has been completely al terea ana mat tne allies are in position to call the turn pretty iiiucu as mey wisn.
