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not be repealed."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

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

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

Next to the sue of Symington's
victory, the primary's big surprise
was the way Sherff Callanan's bid

His machine was all but wrecked

"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.

city police and election boards.
But Welch went down to defeat
