WASHINGTON LP-On Aug. 6.
1945, at 0:15 a.m.. an atomic iire
balt flashed over Hiroshima, Japan
and 128,150 people were killed, in
jured, maimed or burned.
One bomb . . . 78,150 dead or
dying . . . 50,000 injured ... a
city virtually wiped out ... and
soon a nation forced to quick sur
render by the appalling power of
the atom.
Buf Hiroshima was only the pop
gun phase of the young atomic
age. Nine years and 12 billion dol
lars later, the popgun of Hiroshima
had become a weapon so dreadful

HIROSHIMA, Japan Wt The bell
ol Hiroshima tolled today for the
awtul hour of nine years ago.
It was 8:15 a.m. when the first
atomic bomb ever loosed in war
fare burst with frightful fury over
Hiroshima. t
It was 8:15 a.m. today when
massed sirens screamed their pro
test to the memory. Then the
church bells of Hiroshima rang
out, calling the Japanese of this
city to prayer,
Mayor Shinzo Hamai, who lived
through that day, presided as thou
sands of citizens gathered in the
center of the city for a memori
al service.
He prayed that "there will be
no more war, and no more human
beings atomized." He had been
lucky on that day. He was three
miles away from the center of the
blast. ' " .
Now the scars of the bomb are
gone, except for the gnarled skele
ton of steel which was all that was
left of Memorial Hall.
The rebuilt homes are fliinsey
and the streets are rutted. But
the city seems to be on its feet
again, mentally and materially.
Only 90,000 out of the population
of 350,000 were here on that day.
The rest are newcomers to this
commercial town. They don't
know.
Kiyoichl Tsuchoka, member of
the city council, remembers. He
was only 1,000 yards from the blast
center and his body is scarred by
burns.
"I saw the great flash.' he re
called. "The next moment I was
blown several yards. I staggered
back and thought I saw a second
wave a heat wave which set fire
to my shirt. I ripped off the burn
ing shirt and ran to my home.
"The house was flattened and my
wile was crying 'help, help' from
under the debris. I was injured and
could not lift the heavy beams
and pillars- that pinned her down.'
I looked around for help.
"I saw only dead bodies strewn
around. I had to leave my dying
wife because fire was spreading.
Her voice still rings in my ears."
Prof. Kanae Watanabe of Hiro
shima University was also only 1.
000 yards away but escaped with
out a scratch.
"I was in the library when the
bomb exploded," he said. "Per
haps the books shielded me. I ran
Into the hall after the explosion and
saw three of my colleagues dead,
their skulls split open."
Watanabe found his wife and son
unharmed, in the suburbs, although
their home was knocked down.
"I guess," he said, "we are the
luckiest of .all the citizens of Hiro
shima." . '
Indian Fish
Camp Protested
THE DALLES Wl A fishing
camp for Indians on the Columbia
Paver near The Dalles Dam is be
ing erected by Army Engineers
despite protests of the Oregon Fish
Commission and Wasco County.
The work is being done with
t50,000 Congress provided to com
pensate Indians for fishing grounds
lost when Bonneville Dam was
built, said Lt. Col. John A. Oraf,
of the Portland district engineer's
Office. The project has nothing to
Ho with pending destruction of the
Celilo Falls Indian fishery by -construction
of The Dalles Dam.
M. T. Hoy, state fisheries di
rector, said that from the camp
site about two miles east of here.
Indians will be able to carry on
large-scale fishing In the immedi
ate area of The Dalles Dam fish
ladders. He said this will injure
talmon runs trying to clear the
dam.
Ward Weber. Wasco County
judge, said the county objects on
the ground that the camp might
become another Indian village, resulting-
in social problems that
arise, when large groups . live to
gether under substandard condi
tions. The camp will be transferred
to the Interior Department for ad
ministration, Graf said.

Of Hiroshima

thai lt could and did blow a mile
wide hole. 175 teai. deep, in the
coral floor of the Pacific, Ocean.
The crater was big enough to hold
140 buildings the size of the na
tion's c?pitol.
This was done with a 19.r2-moael
i hydrogen device , which without
I doubt has undergone a good many
: refinements since then as a weapon
i of total destruction. The Hiroshima
; bomb had an explosive power equal
to 20.000 tons of TNT. The hydro

to the millions of tons,
i H'-IOSHI.XIA
I On this nimh anniversary of
; Hiroshima, where does the United
States .stand In the world or the
I atom? Here Is a brief run-down:
Tne most fearful development
perhaps is that the United Slates
! has lost the monopoly on the
j atomic bomb which existed in
August 1945. At that time this coun
try alone had the wenpon which
could have brought military mas
tery of the world had this nation
been a land bent on conquest. Now
Russia has mastered the sciontilic
and industrial techniques of man
ufacturing atomic weapons.
Today it's a race between Russia
and the' United States for atomic
supremacy. American experts say
the United States has the lead but
a lead that is being narrowed by
the Russians. Great Britain, too,
has an advanced program and has
exploded an atomic bomb.
TWO BOMBS
The bombs which dropped on
Hiroshima and three days later on
Nagasaki perhaps were the only
two completed atomic bombs in the
American stockpile at that time.
Now" there are "baby" bombs,
atomic artillery shells, guided mis
sile warheads and the hydrogen
giants such as the one exploded
in the Pacific during the 1952 tests.
The stockpile may now run into
the thousands.
Some military men believe these
weapons have become so horrible
in their destructive power that no
nation will ever dare the gamble
of atomic war. But the feat that
it may happen still drives this
country forward in the race for
atomic supremacy.
Something like 90 per cent of
the billions poured into atomic de
velopment is for purposes of war
and defense. But even though the
emphasis is on weapons of war,
huge strides have been made in
the direction of using the atom's
fantastic energy for peace.
BY-PRODUCTS
A by-product of the weapons pro
gram is that hundreds .f scientists
and engineers in the industrial
world (working with the govern
ment in the atomic energy pro
gram) have gained important
knowledge and experience in the
peaceful use of nuclear energy.
And there is as much of a race
for supremacy In the peaceful use
of the atom although far less
dramatic as there is in the weap
ons field. No Industrial nation
competing in the world mnrkets
can afford to be far outstripped
in the use of this potentially cheap
source of power.
One pound of uranium in a cube
just one Inch square has potential
ly usable energy equal to 2,600.000
pounds of coal. How to harness
this energy to engines is a problem
that is under steady attack by the
best scientific and engineering
minds around the world.
NUCLEAR ENERGY
The use of nuclear energy to
produce electric power no longer
is a dream. It has been done and
the problem now is to figure a way
to make this atomic fuel produce
power as cheaply or cheaper than
coal. .
Already the United States has
an atomic submarine which H is
believed will be able to travel
thousands of miles with no need
of refueling. .
A land-based prototype of the
atomic engine, according to a re
cent Senate-House Atomic Energy
Committee report, has "already
produced more than enough power
to send an atomic submarine
around the world, submerged, at
full speed."
There are visions, too, that in
the not-distant future ships and
airplanes will be powered by nu
clear energy and that atomic pow
erhouses will bring cheap electric
ity to industrial areas and to re
mote regions where fuel costs now
are almost prohibitive.

oily Years Ago . In
LONDON fP1 A page lit the
history books flipped over this I
week in Europe. 1
Just 40 years ago in the words
of a British foreign minister "The
lamps are going out all over
Europe."
The anniversary of what be
came known then as "The Great
War" was officially Ignored. Most
people seemed to have forgotten
or they did not want to remember.
But in the English countrycide
an old man remembered. Winston
Churchill has said over and over
again a lasting world peace is tho
last prize -he seeks to win. He's
still trying. Churchill at 79 is the!
onlv topliner governmental or j
military of those fateful August
days of 1914 still in power. Few
others are even still alive.
Forty years ago. as the 39-year-
old First Lord ol the Admiralty.
Churchill won praise tor haviug the
Royal Navy already mobilized and
at battle stations when Britain went
to war with the Kaiser s Germany.
Resting at his country home in
Kent this week, the same Churchill
kept hts thoughts to himself and
the world speculating on whether
he intends to retire as Prime Min
ister.
The anniversary of the outbreak
of World War I caught attention
only in a few reminiscences and
warnings in the newspapers.
Europeans' attention was devoted
more to the uneasy peace In the
world today, and focused on Asia.
, The London Evening News, in a
commemorative editorial, "Lest
we Forget," said:
'The forces then mobilized in
Europe have never properly stood
down, me threat has been there
through 40 years of lost Ideals and
bitter disillusionment."
And the London Daily Telegraph
warned: . !
"In August 1914, our country had ,
the opportunity of allowing a Pax
Germanica to be imposed on
Europe and rejected It. Twenty
five years later tho same prospect
faced us in an even more ambi
tious form and was refused.
"It would be an ill day when a
Pax Sovietica became the only al
ternative to another world war and
we nad to lake a similar grim but
Inevitable decision, even though in
company with strong allies."
Germany, beaten in World War I
and again in an even greater war
World War II found itself a di
vided nation in a divided world,
Among the West Germans, allied
wnn me west, the anniversary
passed unnoticed. The East Ger
mans, under Soviet domain, made
no mention of it either.
France, torn today by suspicion
or
of
rearmed Germany and fear
Communist aggression, was
more concerned about straighten
ing out colonial affairs in
Indochina, Tunisia and Morocco

Moscow radio remembered.
For the men now in the Kremlin,
where the Russian czars once wera
crowned, August 1914 was the fore
runner of another anniversary to
them the revolutionist conversion
of all the Russias and more to
communism. Moscow radio used
the anniversary to assail the Am
ericans, who did not get into World
War I until 1917. and' accused them
of forgetting "the lessons" of the
first world war.
WASHINGTON W Communist
China's double 'dismissal of Am
erican protests was shrugged off
by lop U.S. oincinls loony as a
gesture which could not erase tho
record made against the Reds.
Protest notes were sent to Pci
ping through the British govern
ment over n week ago to register
anger at the killing of three Ameri
cans in a British airliner shot
down by Communist fighters July
23 off Red-held Hainan Island. The
United States demanded punish
ment of those guilty of the attack,
and compensation for the three
Americans killed and three others
injured.
The Reds rejected this protest as
well as one against attacks on
American fighters fay two Red fight
er aircraft. The protest against the
fighter attacks was strictly for the
record since American planes shot
down the two Red aircraft.
In a second note on Wednesday,
the United States renewed the pro
test and demands for compen
sation. Washington told the Chinese
that British ownership of the piano
did not relieve Red China of res
ponsibility for the deaths of the
Americans. Peiplng announced
yesterday that the Reds, who have
apologized to Britain and offered
to pay damages, again refused the
American note. . 1
Officials here said olhcr ' steps
were under consideration, but that
rejection of the protests was rela
tively unimportant for these rea
sons:
1. The United States- made Us
real reaction known when it dis
patched two aircraft -carriers to the
trouble area Immediately after the
July 23 attack on tho airliner' and
whatever the provocation shot
down two Chinese fighter planes.
It was suggested that was strong
action which tne Reds would read
ily understand.
2. The protest notes themselves,
along with other official actions,
have sought to make clear to gov
ernments and peoples in many
lands the ruthless conduct of the
Chinese Reds in attacking the un
armed commercial airliner in th
first place. Pelplng's explanatlou
to Britain was that the plane hnj
been mistaken for a Chinese Na
tlonalist bomber.
3. The united Slates can and will
make full use of this affair in ar
guing In the autumn session of the
United Nations against any move
to give Red China U.N. member
ship or legalize Its existence In
any way so far as the U.N. Is con
cerned.
And even If the Reds had given
assurances that such incidents
would not be repeated, authorities
said they would not be taken seri
ously.. They also suggested that no
Chinese pilot Is likely to be pun
ished for killing Westerners, what
ever the Red regime may eventual
ly claim about that.
This leaves the question of com
pensation for persons killed or In
jured. State Department officials
are trying to figure that out now.
