Some reports would have it
that Anne Marie grew up in an

"I like to have fun and 1 think

Anne Marie has had compara

Don't Blame Sen. Kennedy
For All Of The Confusion
WASHINGTON IPI Ono
thing is sure. The electorate is
aroused about the pending labor
reform bill. This is not to say
that it is informed.
Robert F. Kennedy, counsel for
the Senate Rackets Committee,
went on Jack Paar's TV show re
cently and told late night viewers
the bill ought to be passed and
to write their congressmen about
it.
That's what they've been doing,
too. But members of the Senate,
which passed the bill long ago by
a vote of 90 to 1, are beginning
to wish Kennedy had been more
specific.
It's the House of Representa
tives that hasn't yet voted aye.
Even Sen. John F. Kennedy
iD-Mass i. Bob's brother and co-
sponsor of the Senate bill, has
been flooded with mail. Some of
it commands him sternly to vote
for his bill.
The senator feels that some of
the letter writers might have
been a little more tactful. These
are the ones who are demanding
a vote for "Sen. bob Kennedy's
bill."
Thousands of Letters
Other senators have been hear
ing about it, too, counting their
mixed-up mail in the thousands.
House members, of course, are
getting their share of letters.
And everybody says they're go
ing to do something about it.
The House Labor Committee,
which approved a modified ver
sion of the bill 10 days ago, fi
nally has got out its formal re
port to the House. This of course
is where House members learn
what's in the bill.
The question, though, is which
part of the report should they
read? Although the committee
voted for the bill 16 to 14. only S
of the 30 members now come
right out and admit that they
like it.
In addition to a non partisan.
non-controversial and reasonably
enlightening analysis of the meas
ure prepared by a staff member,
the report includes a "statement"
an "additional statement, and
'additional, dissenting, and sepa
rate" views, with some members
signing more than one of the to
tal of 10. The whole thing is so
perplexing committee clerks felt
it wise to index the 106-page vol
ume. Explain Votes
After approving the bill at a
closed session, committee mem
bers jostled each other hurrying
to the press gallery to explain
why they weren't for it. Chair
man Graham A. Barden (D-N.C.)
who voted aye, said the bill was
no good and refused to give it his
name.
Rep. James Roosevelt D-
Calif.) voted against it because it
was anti-union. Rep. Carroll D.

because it was pro-union.

JAPAN HAS'NT FORGOTTEN
LAUNCHING OF ATOMIC AGE
By ARNOLD DIBBLE
UPI Staff Writer
TOKYO (UPI I Japan has not
forgotten not by a long shot
that 14 years ago this week the
atomic age was launched with the
death of 78.150 persons in Hiro
shima. Japan.
But slightly, ever so slightly.
public opinion is changing.
The Japanese still are horror-
stricken over that first atomic
bomb strike on Hiroshima on
Aug. 6, 1945. where, in addition
to the staggering death toll, 37,
425 persons were injured and 13,-
083 were listed as missing.
The Hiroshima attack was fol
lowed three days later by the sec
ond atomic bomb attack on Naga
saki in which 73,884 persons were
killed. Five days later Japan sur
rendered. Many Still Dying
The Japanese are hardly al
lowed to forget the twin horror
because many still ure dying of
the diseases caused by atomic
radiation and this always makes
news in Japan.
But the fervor ai'ainst atomic
weapons is slowly calming.
In Japan, the only country ever
to suffer atomic warfare, the
anti-nuclear weapon campaign
has not always been in sole pos
session of the Communists and
their fellow travelers as has been
the case in many other countries.
Indeed, Tory Party leaders, from
Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi
on down, have issued statements
from time to time deploring
atomic weapons. Japan s united
Nations delegation has been in the
forefront of the campaign to out
law atomic tests.
This year, two significant
events have taken place which
have great bearing and effect
upon public opinion so far as it
regards the anti-nuclear weapons
campaign.

1. The Hiroshima Prefectural
Assembly voted to cut off subsi

which is holding its annual meet

2. Tlie leaders of the council
agreed to draw up plans to op
pose the revision of the U.S.-Ja-
pan security treaty as part 'of its
anti-nuclear campaign.
The first move shows clearly
that Japanese government offi
cials at last are beginning to dis
associate themselves from the
council. The second move shows
just as clearly that the left-wing
ers finally have captured the
group.
By mixing up Ihe anti-nuclear
campaign wilh the U S -Japan se

fended a large segment of Japa

strongly that there is no connec

leftist leadership of the anti-bomb
council has become so pronounced
that it has offended many sober.

Hit Security Revisions
These left-wingers are trying to
peddle the line that revision of
the security treaty will open up
Japan for the introduction of nu
clear weapons. This, according to
Tory leaders and Americans who
should know, is patently false.
Actually, although it never has
been defined publicly or official
ly, American officials are leaning
more and more toward the idea
that it would be better ta keep
nuclear weapons out of Japan.
The reasoning is simple. In
case of war, U.S. forces the

need bases in Japan. What they
do need is the vast Japanese in
