G. Is Forget
Race Hatreds

Service men have learned the
necessity of teaming together in
total disregard of a mans re-
ligious or racial background, and
much less prejudice is found
among them than among our civ
ilians at home.
In those words DIR. U. S.
Mitchell of San Francisco, di-
rector of the National Confer
ence of Christians and Jews,
summed up observations result
ing from just completed tour
which reached over go per cent
of the armed forces in Alaska
and the Aleutians.
Furthermore, the men are ex-
eeedingly impatient with the
folks at home who are demon
strating attitudes of intoler-
ance," said DR.. Mitchell. head OF
the INSTRUMENTATION rio who
tourned the North Pacific theater
on invitation of the Alaskan De-
parment.
Rabbi Raphael Levine, leader
of Temple de Hirsch. and the
Rev. Joseph A. Cashem of Du.
luth, Mimi, represented Jewish
and Catholic faiths in the trio.
DR.. Mitchell said he found
none who advocated discrimina
ton against loyal citizens Of
Japanese ancestry.
Emphatic displeasure wai
registered concerning reports o
proposed legislation to proven
return OF these citizens to theil
communities, he added.
Our government authoritie
and law enforcement Officials
have declared the Japanese
Americans to have been thor
oughly cooperative and they hav
given more than their percent
age of manpower to the fight
ing forces" the conference di
rector pointed out.

self "agreeably surprised" to fin
morale OF the men in Northern
outposts to be much higher tina

Neutral Legations Here on Alert
For Possible Relay Of Jap Bid 1

The Swiss and Swedish Legations
here, whose governments were
named in Japanese broadcasts as the
mediums through which an offer of
surrender was being sent, waited
with subdued excitement today for
some official word. .3-s "a
It was pointed 'outs however, that
the normal diplomatic procedure
would be for their Ministers in
Tokyo to cable Bern and Stockholm
The offer then would be handed to
the American Ministers to Switzer-
land and Sweden, and they would
send word to the State Department
While such roundabout trans
mission usually takes about 10 days
it was assumed that it would be
speeded UP to a matter of hours in
this case.
The morning passed without word
at the State Department from Bern
or Stockholm. And neither Max
Gassli, Charge d'Affaires Swiss Le-
CATION, nor Tor Hugo Wistrand
Charge d'Affaires of the Swedish
Legation, had received any peace
message.
The chancery of the Swedish Le-
CATION at 1900 Twenty-fourth street

War Department Blamed
In Hiroshima Picture Delay
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GUAM, Aug. 10.-Public relations
officers of the Strategic Air Forces
today said an order from the War
Department prevented American
newspapers from getting immedi-
ately pictures of the damage to
Hiroshima in the first atomic bomb
attack.
The War Department treated the
pictures as in the same classiflca-
tion as the first news stories which
were required to be radiod to Wash
ington for censorship, delaying the
first eyewitness accounts by full
l9 hours.
Although facilities for transmits
sion of picture by radio are available
at Guam and picture pool represent
atives pressed for permission to send
them to the United States along
with news stories telling OF the
damage, the order from Washington
made it mandatory that they be
flown to the United States.

Clio Says Federal Workers
Want 10 Remain in D. {.
Ry the Associsted Press.

A CIO union sampled WPB en-
ployes and came up today with the
conclusion that wartime Govern
ment workers don't want to go back
home when peace comes.
And it's Government jobs In
Washington that they want, the
United Federal Workers of America
said-in preference to any other
kind of work here or anywhere else.
The union figured the present
earnings of those who answered its
QUESTIONABLE as almost the same
as before the war, In terms of pur-
chasing power. In reaching that
conclusion it considered overtime
pay only as an offset against in
creased taxes, and discounted base
pay by 80 per cent as a balance
against living cost increases.
Altogether, the union said. the
replies showed 81 per cent prefer
ring Government jobs here to leav-
ing the Capital or taking private
jobs. That percentage ran slightly
higher in the medium and high pay
brackets than in the low pay group.
For second choice, 48 per cent Of
those answering wanted to find a
Federal job in Washington and
81 per cent wanted to leave town.
