High Point Sailor
Drowns At S. E. Beach

MYRTLE BEACH, S. c., Sept. /.
-(P)-Clyde Daniels, Jr., 10 of High
Point, N. C. was drowned in the
surf here this morning.
Artificial respiration and oxygen
were used but doctors were unable
to revive Daniels after three hours
of work. Daniels was here on leave
from the Navy after 18 months
overseas. No funeral arrangements
were announced.
Daniels was bathing with Miss
Caroline Johnson, 10, also of High
Point. 1t was presumed that the
undertow caught both of them and
carried them out beyond their
depths. Miss johnson was rushed
to Myrtle Beach Army Air Base
hospital after artificial respiration
had revived her. Physicians said
she would recover.

serious and worried frown; they're

the dust bowls have departed, new

alarming tendencies creeping

The war, discovery of huge
fields of gas, diversification and
enlightened and scientific farming
have changed completely, in less
than decade, the face of this
thriving metropolis of far south
western Kansas, once perilously
close to being the unofficial dust
bowl capital of the west.

He added that intelligence re-

tee it probably will be impossible to
obtain many such men. Inspection
probably would mean, it was ex-
planned, that an inspector would
have the right to enter any room of
any mans house at any time on
any pretext-such as that of search
ing for notebooks bearing on atomic
energy.
Gen. Groves gave a detailed ac-
count of the damage at Hiroshima
|and Nagasaki and painted grue-
some picture of what wouldS have
happened to Washington, if one of
these bombs had been dropped
somewhere in the Federal Triangle.
Cites Potential d. c. Damage.
All the city between the Capitol
and the National Cathedral prob
ably would have been totally de-
stroyed and the whole area covered
with rubble about 2 feet thick.
Walls of some of the Government
buildings might remain standing,
but everything inside them would
have been destroyed. All the win
dows would have been blown out of
the Pentagon Building, but the
building itself probably would have
remained erect
The effect of the single bomb on
Hiroshima, he said, was about that
OF thousand planes dropping 1000
pound bombs. 1t could now be es-
timated, he said, that one uranium
bomb would equal in physical de-
struction a 2000-bomber raid, but
this would not take into considera-
ton the much worse psychological
effect on the people of a weapon
against which they were defense
less.
He estimated that the two bombs
dropped over Japan, with the terror
which they spread among the Japa-
nese people, saved the lives of at
least 100000 American soldiers who
would have been killed if an invasion
had been attempted.
10000 Die in Hiroshima.
The single Hiroshima bomb, he
pointed out, resulted in from 10000
to 100000 deaths and from $4,000 to
100000 more or less serious injuries.
The diameter of total destruction
was about mile and a half, and
glass was blown from windows IL
miles away.
Army inspections, he said, have
shown convincingly that none were
killed by radiation left after the
bomb exploded. although such radia-
alton may have been fatal to few
at the moment of the explosion.

have not been published?" Senator
Ferguson asked.
Large Amount Not Published.
There was very large amount
Of correspondence between Wash
ington and Tokyo" Mr.. Grew said,
"and I know a great deal of it was
not published. But I can't say that
any of that was pertinent to this
inquiry"
DO you know of any that would
be pertinent?" Senator Ferguson
asked.
"Of hand I cannot recall any"
Again, Senator Ferguson told the
former Ambassador to search the
files and make sure.
Senator Ferguson again brought
up the topic of the much disputed
final note which Cordell Hull, than
Secretary Of State, handed the Jap
anese ENJOYS on November 26.
Mr.. Grew pointed out. referring
to messages in the record, he made
it clear to the State Department
that the japanese militarists in
power regarded it as an ultimatum,
because it suited them to do So"
While Mr.. Grew was being ques-
toned, Representative Keefe, Re-
publican. OF Wisconsin asked coun-
sci to the committee to search Gov
ernment archives to see if President
Roosevelt consulted Winston
Churchill on this countrys final 10
point note to Japan of November
26, 1941.
Mr.. Keefe told the committee that
sinice the President consulted Mr..
Churchill by telegram regarding
the temporary agreement with ia
pan, generally referred to as the
modus viviendi. which was discarded
before it was sent, 1t seemed entire
ly probable" to him that Mr.. Roose-
welt would also have communicated
with London about the l0-point
note.
Crews Diary Again Sought.
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine made another unsuccessful
effort today to have Mr.. Crews
diary examined for the committee.
Senator Brewster's request today
was that Mr.. Grew show the diary
only to William D. Mitchell. chief
committee counsel, to let him pass
on Mr.. Crews judgment as to
whether it contains any pertient
information not already In official
documents.
MI. Grew was repeating his as
surance OF yesterday that everything
OF value has already been made
public, when Mr.. Mitchell settled the
issue by announcing he did not want
to inspect any papers he could not
show to committee members.
Mr.. Keefe said the several ex-
changes of documents between Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill al
ready placed in the record make it
seem likely to him there were 9TH
ers. For example, he said, it seemed
probable the President would have
answered the Churchill message of
November 80, suggesting final ap-
peal to Japan to avert war.
His specific request was that
counsel call on the State, War and
Navy Departments, and the Gus
todlan Of the Roosevelt estate for
any other messages that may have
passed between the late President
and the former British Prime Min
lister between November "a and De-
