tened, he related. People began
emerging with bleeding wounds.
He got up from where he lay on
the ground and ran up the hill
for a panoramic view of the city.
He could not comprehend the
devastation he saw.
The whole city seemed flatten
ed. Such destruction under ordi
nary bombing would have taken
a whole squadron of planes all
day. This took place In a moment.
The Rev. Mr. Tanlmoto said
he saw Injured people with no
expression of emotion In their
faces. The shock had been too
great. Cries of help came from
thoie buried Inside the leveled
buildings.
Everywhere roads were block
ed by fire. Mr. Tanlmoto had to
make extensive detours in order
to reach the part of the city
where his mission was located.
There he worked for days, con
tinuously giving aid to the injured
people.
"I was exceptional In not being
Injured, he said.
Radiation Also Fatal
Within a quarter-mile of the
center of the explosion, people
were Instantly killed. Within
half-mile, people were burled un
der rubble or burned to aeatn.
Escapees gradually died from
the effects of radiation.
Even country people, who visit'
ed the scene of the bombing
weeks later, were affected by ra
diation. Doctors and nurses who
came In contact with the victims
did not escape.
Casualties numbered 200.000 of
the city of 400,000. said Rev. Mr.
Tanlmoto.
Japanese Not Bitter
The people of Hiroshima now
wlsn to commemorate mis ca
tastrophe as "world peace day"
each year, with the prayer that
no such experience will ever be
fall any city anywhere again, he
said.
A shrine of peace at Hiroshima
could be supported by the gov
ernment, and In the United
Stales it could be sponsored by
such groups as the Methodist or
ganization for world peace.
Prominent Americans could also
lend their aid.
Rev. Mr. Tanlmoto declared
the Japanese are not "bitter"
about the attack. "We were re
sponsible," he said. "Our nation
started the war first." Out of the
bombing came a realization of
spiritual needs and there has
been a Christian awakening in
Japan, he added. "Many thou
sands of Bibles are needed."
As a military target, Hiroshi
ma had four major var indus
tries, Mr. Tanlmoto commented.
These were located In the sub
urbs and, Ironically, were not
harmed In the attack.
The boyhood home of General
Dwlght D. Elsenhower at Abilene,
Kansas was dedicated as a na
tional shrine June 22, 19-17.

Visiting Traffic
Violators Given
Courtesy Cards
Out-of-state minor traffic vio
lators, starting t'Klay, instead of
being cited Into court, will be pre
sented a visitor's courtesy card,
Chief of Police Calvin Balrd an
nounced. Special traffic courtesy tickets,
as an experimental measure, have
been printed by authority of the
city council.
They state: "This is not a sum
mon: but merely to call your at
tention to the fact that you have
violated our traffic code in the
following manner. We will appre
ciate your cooperation and Invite
you to visit Roseburg again."
It has been pointed out that too
freauently a town receives un
favorable DUblicity by presenting
out-of-state visitors with tickets
for minor Infractions, and many
neglect to pay. The theory back
of the courtesy card is to obtain
the motorist's cooperation with a
reminder, rather than a fine, and
by such means encourage tourists
to visit Roseburg.
Oakland Youth Fined On
Shirt-Stealing Charge
David Crockett Lee, 19, of Oak
land, was fined $23 on a petty
larceny charge. Justice of Peace
A. J. Geddes reported. The youth,
charged with taking a shirt from
Joe Richard's Men's store, was
arrested by city police. He was
also required to pay for the
shirt.
Defense Chief Urges
Foreign Arms Aid
(Continued From Page One)
Choice Of Clark For
High Court Approved
(Continued From Page One)
that he Is ready to take the court
post.
Religion Ignored
In his announcement of choos
ing Clark and McGrath for the
new appointments, President Tru
man made It clear that he does
not believe that a man's religious
faith has any place In considera
tion of appointments for member
ship on the high court, as long
as the appointee Is qualified for
the work.
Clark, a Texan, is a Presbyter
Ian. The late Justice Frank Murphy
was the only Roman Catholic on
the high bench.
McGrath Is a Roman Catholic.
In connection with the selec
tion of a Protestant for the court
post, the President was asked if
he had any feeling that the ma
jor minority groups should be
represented on the high bench.
He said It made no difference
whether a man was a Catholic,
Baptist or Jewish, and the ques
tion of faith had nothing to do
with his qualification.
Confirmation Assured
Despite his position as Demo
cratic national chairman, Mc
Grath seemed likely to escape
any serious criticism In Senate
consideration of his appointment.
Whether Clark would get by
without jome harsh words re
mained In doubt. Chairman Mo-
Carran (D-Nev) of the Senate
Judiciary committee, which will
handle both nominations, has had
some recent brushes with the
attorney general.
Senator Kern ik-moi criticized
Clark in the 80th Congress for
what he said was the attorney
Renerals failure to prosecute
vigorously Kansas City vote fraud
cases.
Kem wouldn't comment on the
possibility that he would renew
his attack on the present cabinet
member.
In any case, Indications were
the Senate will confirm the ap
pointments within a relatively
short time after they are sent
to It officially.
Senator Kerr (D-Oklat called
them "fine appointments." "Both
of them are good men," agreed
Senator Sparkman (D-Alal.

program talked about countering
with Bernard Baruch.
"I think it would he a splendid
laea u we canea in Mr. Baruch,
said Rep. Jackson (R.-Calif.),
"Mr. Baruch recently toured Eu
rope and looked into the general
situation there and should be
very helpful."
While Baruch's position with
respect to the arms aid proposal
for Atlantic pact and other na
tions is not known, he has been
critical of the wav some foreign
countries have been handling the
economic aid given them under
ine marsnau plan.
Johnson was followed at the
hearing by General Omar Brad
ley, who declared that the rise of
"a new aggressor bent upon ab
sorbing the exhausted victors" of
World War II has "given a sense
ot urgency to our plans ' for de
fense. The army chief of staff told
the committee:
"In the place of the vanquished
foe has arisen this new aggres
sor, bent upon absorbing the ex
hausted victors. The spectre of
another would-be master attempt
ing to enslave our presently al
lied peoples has given a sense of
urgency to our plans."
He did not Identify the new
"aggressor."
As the army leader testified a
plane waited to take him and
other members of the Joint chiefs
ot stair to turope to start putting
that plan Into working form.

gala occasion. Everyone Is in
vited to attend.
House speaker Rayburn, a fel
low lexan, said Clark would
make a "great Justice."
On the Republican side, leader
Wherry, of Nebraska, said he
believes both will be confirmed.
Similarly, Senator Jenner (R-
ind) said he knows of no sena
torial objection either.
School District
Appeals Award
Favoring Boyle
Notice of appeal to the supreme
court or Oregon has been filed
by Canyonville School district
8, defendant in a suit in which
Judgment was awarded favoring
the plaintiff, Lawrence J. Boyle.
A trial Jury June 3 awarded
Boyle $4,200, plus $42.60 costs,
as the amount of his contract for
the 1948-49 fiscal year. Boyle,
dismissed by the district board,
had filed suit to collect his sal
ary. The appeal has been filed on
the grounds, alleged by the de
fense, that Circuit Judge Call
E. Wlmberly instructed the Jury
that the dismissal was wrong
ful, because the board did not
give Boyle a hearing, which the
iaw requires.
The defense takes exception,
claiming that according to the
facts and pleadings set forth in
the new and separate answer of
the defendant, there was a breach
of contract and in this case the
hearing was not necessary.

Maragon also was asked
whether he Is a good friend of

He refused to say whether
