Yesterday air raid sirens screamed throughout Tokyo in a warning that 100 P-51 Mustangs had returned to strike terror with rockets and machineguns against anything they could find in tne Tokyo area. Radio Tokyo said 150 Mus- tangs carried the assault into the daylight today with an at tack on the Tokyo area. A single Japanese fighter watched them come yesterday and then fled from tne skies. 10,500 Tons Dropped The B-29s in two raids August 2 and today have sown 10,500 tons of dreaded fire anddemoli tion bombs on Japanese cities in warnings to the people of Japan to surrender uncondition ally. They have burned out an- proximately 160 square miles of war producing cities since the first fire raid on Tokyo March a. Warnings Given While the newest series of incendiary raids has always been preceded by warnings to civilians to flee to safety, their effective ness was told bluntly in a single sentence in General Spaatz' com- unique which, reporting on the record raid August 2. said: "First photograohs available on results of the B-29 strike in the early hours August 2 show that the industrial area of Toy ama was totally destroyed." Toyama, with a pooulation of 1Z7.000, was the third largest city on Honshu fronting the Japan sea, and had the empire's largest aluminum plant. MOVE FURNISHINGS NEW PINE CREEK Mr. and Mrs. G. W.

Atomic Bomb Test Held In Desert LOS ALAMOS, N. M., Aug. 6 (JP) The atomic bomb, dropped on Japan for the first time to day, was previewed by scien tists and military authorities in the New Mexico desert July 16 when a test sent a ball of fire, many times brighter than the mid-day sun, billowing skyward and set off a blast which rattled windows more than 150 miles away. The steel tower from which the test was detonated was va porized. A huge sloping crater was left where the tower stood. Men outside the control center more than five miles away were knocked down by a heavy pres sure wave. Witnesses said a huge multi colored cloud was ser.t 40,000 feet into the stratosphere in five minutc3. The blast, at 5:30 a. m. at a remote location on the Alamo gordo, N. M., army air base, caused consternation throughout southwestern New Mexico and southern Arizona. (Continued From Pago One) made safely. Plants were do signed so 1 1 wit all the complicat ed operations wcro performed by remote control behind heavy concrete walls. So complete were tho safety precautions, officials added, that they protected workers "against even the fear of danuvr." The project Is located In ccn- nui iiMiiiiKiun siaie, ociwcou the Cascade mountains and the Columbia river, In a particularly isolated area of gray-green sage brush and dry water courses. The plant was constructed by the E. 1. DuPont Dencmours company, which also has tho con tract for operating them. Tho Hanford Engineering works, a DuPont division, has direct charge. Although residents of this lit tle sagebrush-surrounded hamlet knew the secret project was something highly important, they were as much surprised as the rest of the world when Pres ident Truman announced t h c y had been producing atomic bomb materials. For two years, the govern ment has been recruiting work ers all over the nation for the Hanford project, of which Rich land became the residential cen ter; Pasco the official headquart ers, and several smaller cities the mystery-shrouded nerve cen ters in the war's greatest secret, Secr.cy Pl.dg. The army employed public re lations officers to tour news paper offices reiterating pledges of secrecy. Mysterious directives issued from censorship authori ties simultaneously with mic advertisements all over the coun try calling for unskilled work ers, electricians, millwrights and specialists by the hundreds and tne thousands for the Hanford project. Just how the mvstcrv-shrourt- cd project would aid the war of- lor provided a major eucss ine contest throughout the Pacific northwest. It was known tho Du. Ponts had something to do with it. It was known that armed guards turned visitors back on highways and side roads miles and miles from the center of the exclusion area. It was rumored that whatever was brewing in the Scabrock country hereabouts was sn hush. hush that workers knew only ineir own small part of tne pro cess and had no idea what the finished product could be. From time to time military and war production authorities complimented the newspapers and the citizenry on their pa triotic success In discouraging speculation and keeping the se cret. That whetted curiosity. It isn't hard to keep a secret if you don't know what it is yourself. And the most that the general Hess Named For U. S. Attorney PORTLAND, Aug. 6 (IP) Henry L. Hess, La Grande, has been recommended as Oregon's U. S. attorney by democratic national committeeman Lew Wallace. Wallace wired the recommendation to Richard R.
