 MYSTERY MOVIE
 THIS EVENING

People who enjoy solving puzzles will have a good time tonight at the Capitol Theatre where the film Strange Affair." opens for two day run.
 The plot is as complicated as any one could wish. It involves a mur- der, committed by mysterious means and for equally mysterious reasons, in full view of a table full of guests. Allyn Joslyn, cartoonist whose hobby is crime detection, sets out to find the solution and does so in spite of his wife whose efforts to help him almost result in his death.
 Screen play is by Oscar Saule, Eve Greene and Jerome Odlum, based on an original story by Saul.
 Also showing as the companion feature is the success story of a true American radition-"Rocha- feller Center-a This is America" feature, story of l2-story building city within city.

The high-flying camera planes circled Hiroshima a few hours after Mondays attack and found only two small fires still burning. The remainder of the city appeared turned to ashes.
 American officers who studied the pictures said the destruction was about the same as they would expect from a force of about 150 Superforts, each carrying seven tons of incendiary and demolition bombs
 Hiroshima, about the size of Memphis, Tenn, or San Antonio, Texas, was tightly congested. This probably contributed to the degree of destruction.
 One Plane
 In that one, swift, devastating strike, a B-29, piloted by Col Paul w. Tibbets, Jr,, wrought as great damage as normally is inflicted by a large force of the sky giants Tibbets' Superfort, 10 miles from the scene and several miles high, itself was rocked as if an anti aircraft shell had burst close by.
 Although all crew members were wearing dark glasses, the visual impact" of the explosives great flash was so tremendous that some cried my God in sheer amaze ment. Only three men on the bomber had known of their secret mission.
 Navy Capt. William Sterling Parsons, who designed the bomb, and made the Hiroshima flight as "weaponeer, said it was not con- trollable like an ordinary bomb, but that he could give no details.
 Capt. Parsons said that after the B-29 dropped tine atomic bomb we made as much distance from the ball of fire as we could.
 We were at least 10 miles away and there was a visual impact even though every man wore col ored glasses for protection.
 We stayed around two or three minutes and by that time the smoke had risen to 10000 feet. The town was entirely obscured."
