Japan, M -seven veara ago Wednesday the city of Hiroshima waa crushed by the aearlng blast of the atomlo bomb. Survivors of that awful holocaust gathered Wednesday at a memorial under the center of the aerial explosion to pray for the thousands who died. Hie memorial Is Inscribed, trans lated: "Sleep quietly. The mistake will not be repealed." Japanese are quick to aay that tho "mistake" was not the atom bombing but Japan's war-tartlng attack on Pearl Harbor. At Nagasaki, smashed bv the second atomic bomb, officials of the two elites gathered to protest what Ihey called Amerlca'a "Cold attitude" toward victims of 'the bomblnga. Kyodo news agency aald spokes men lor the world's only atom bombed cities charged that the United States waa responsible for the explosions and should provide relief for the victims. Kvodo said the Nagasaki con ference proposed that the U. 8. grant long term louns to help re build areas leveled by the explo sions. There Is considerable disagree ment over how heavy a toll the Hiroshima A-bomb claimed. Estlmntes based on the U. S. Strategic Bombing Survey shew about 80.000 were killed. But the Japanese press Insists (hut more thnn 300,000 died. A scroll containing more than 200, 000 names was placed In a crypt under the A-bomb memorlnl dur ing ceremonies Wednesday.

Scientists Make Saucers WASHINGTON I The Eve ning Star reported Wednesday that Army Engineers, working with a vacuum bell In a laboratory, have produced atmospheric phenomena which may explain tne wmespreaa reports of "flying saucers." in a copyrigntea story oy w. m. Shlooen. the Star said the experi ments created airborne objects which "can speed up, hover inde finitely, or disappenr and reappear in a flash." It added: "The man-made saucers" occa slonally fly in formation. More over, thev are believed to have substance enough to show up on the screen of a radar designed to track them." Whnt- the Mnerimentors did. the Star said, was use the vacuum bell as a ilny working-model of the stratosphere and reproduce "two forces very low air pressure which ls balanced against static electricity in a way to give off 1 eht." "Experimenters in the research nnd rievelonment laboratory at Fort Bclvolr (Va.V believe these two are tho mimary fnctors res' ponslble for saucer sightings by competent observers," the story added. The Star published Its report on the experiments following a night of rain during which radar screens, scannlnor the skies over the capi tal, showed a flurry of mystery ob jects. In line with the theory thnt they are atmospheric phenomena, an Air Force spokesman noted that the radar sightings tiny blips on a fluorescent screen started about the time a thunderstorm hit the area.

Stuart Sym ington, a versatile newcomer to the political wars, amassed an amazing landslide victory Wednes day for Missouri's Democratic Sen atorial nominauon. Symington, a former handy man In the Truman administration. soundly trounced the President's choice lor the nomination in Tues day's primary, Atty. Gen. J. . (Buck) Taylor. Taylor finally conceded defeat In a brief statement as Symington' lead soared past 170,000. "The people have spokes and I always bow to the will of the people," Taylor said. With 4,314 of the state's 4,ft pre cincts counted, Symington's grow ing total was 33,777. lay ior Bad 163,250. THIRD DEFEAT It was the third time since he became President that Truman had' Intervened in home state politic. ana nis tnira aeteat. Two years ago his candidate for tne Democratic Senatorial nomin ation was defeated in the primary oy a scant ,wu votes. The winner then was Sen. Thom as C. Hennlngs, Jr., of St. Louis. in itfto iTuman aucceeoea in purging Democratic Congressman Roger C. Slaughter of the Fifth. District in Kansas City in tne pri mary. But En oe Axteu, tne man who had the President' support, wa defeated in the general election by a nepuDiican. The bulk of Symington's victory was fashioned in St. Louis, where he was supported both bv the forc es of Sheriff Thomas F. Callanan and many of Callanan's ODDonent. as well as many labor group. ou unus gave Symington more than 85.000 votes over Taylor. - But the President's borne pre cinct in Independence also voted for the former administration trouble shooter 114 to 20.

His opponent in November will be Republican Incumbent James P. Kem of Kansas City, a bitter foe of administration foreign and do mestic policies. Kera had only token opposition. Next to the sue of Symington's victory, the primary's big surprise was the way Sherff Callanan's bid for statewide power failed. His machine was all but wrecked when it ran head-on into an up rising of independent voters in St. Louis. ' . MACHINE END "It is fantastic," said one of, Callanan's lieutenants. "And it' means the end of the machine." - Callanan even lost his own bid for renomlnation as sheriff. His program to achieve state wide nower called for ReD. Phil J. Welch of St. Joseph to win the Democratic nomination for govern or. The governor is an important . man to a Missouri political ma chine because he controls the big city police and election boards. But Welch went down to defeat by a margin only slightly less de cisive than in the senate race. Former Gov. Phil M. Donnelly of Lebanon downed him in , the voting surge. ' r
