stead to Calvin Coolidge, he would have succeeded to the presidency when President Harding died in 1922. -..
 One of the legislative acts for which he was known in the Senate was his sponsorship of legislation to prohibit loans to nations which defaulted on their war debts.
 Johnson never hesitated to de- sert the Republican party when he thought it was supporting the wrong man. In 1892 many prominent Re- publicans sought to enlist John- sons support of the candidacy for reelection of President Hoover. But Johnson decided that the country was entitled to a new administra- tion, and he swung his support to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 He refrained from more than a casual endorsement of the late President in 1886, however, and openly opposed him for third and fourth terms.

what has been done is the great est achievement of organzed science in history. It was done under high pressure and without failure.
 Devestate Japan
 While MT. Truman did not dis cuss the effect of yesterdays first Atomic bomb on its Japanese tar get, he said that the United States now is prepared ito obliterate more rapdly and completely every pro- ductive enterprise the Japanese have above ground in any city"
 We shall desaroy their docks, their factories, and their communi- cations" the president said. Let there be no mistake; we shall com pletely destroy Japan's power to make war;"
 MT. Truman revealed that cit was to spare the Japanese people from utter destruction that the ultima tum of July 26 was issued at Pots- dam."
 Their leaders promptly rejected that ultimaturn," the President said. ''If they do not now accept our terms they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth.
 Behind this our attack will fol- low sea and land forces in such numbers and power as they have not yet seen and with the fighting skill of which they are already well aware"
 MT. Truman said that Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, who has kept in personal touch with the atomic developments, would make public further details. Stimson,s $ statement, the President said, will give facts" concerning the atomic production centers at Oak Ridge, near Knoxville. Tenn; at Richmond near Pasco, Wash; and near Santa Fe, N. M.
 Safety Methods The President said that although the workers at these sites have been making materials to produce "the greatest destructive force in history they had not been in danger beyond that of many other occupations, flor the utmost care has been taken for their safety"
 The president sai dthat this final

harnessing of atomic energy might be used in the future to supplement the power that comes from coal, oil. and waterfalls, but said that at present it cannot be produced on a basis to compete with them com- mercially."
 Before that comes, he said, there must be "a long period of intensive resarch."
 The president said 1t had never been the habit of the scientists of this country or the policy of the United States Government to with hold from the world scientific know ledge.
 Normally" he said, therefore, everything about the work with atomic energy would be made pulp lie.
 But under present circumstances it is not intended to divulge the technical processes of production or all the military applications, pend- ing further examination of possible methods of protecting us and the rest of the world from the danger of sudden destruction"

 The Japanese tried hard to get the fighting ship, but her score Of enemy planes shot down attests the futility of their attempts.
 AS a part of the famed task force 58, and flagship of Rear Ad- xniral J. J. "Jocko" Clark, the Hor- net hammered the Japanese in every major action from the March, 1924 strikes on the Palaus through the Ckinawa operation.
 The ship has had three shippers and three air groups in her short but busy life. She set what is be- Iieved to be a record for carriers by destroying 255 Japanese planes ln A 30 day period. from March IS to April l6, 1945. In a single days op- 8ration, she accounted for 67 Jap anese planes.

reconciled."
 At the same time, an agency Of the Chinese government-the Chi nese news service-distributed here Chinese press comments on the ul- timatum. It included this comment by the official central daily news of Chungking: "The proclamation may be regarded as one of the achieve ments of the Potsdam conference, and it may be presumed that the Soviet leaders have also participat- ed in the consultation"
 The independent newspaper Ia Kung Pao of Chungking went even further: Although nominally 1t Is joint proclamation of China, the United States and Britain. as mat ter of fact the Soviet Union cer- tainly has agreed with the proclaim ation. Japan's attempt of under mining the relations among the United Nations and to prevent Sov- jet Russia's participation in the war in the Far East has failed"
 Press Suppressed
 The Chinese press comments were significant because of the rigid con- trol the Chungking government has over the press and in the light oi Premier T. V. Soong's conference with Stalin just prior to the Pots- dam conference. The British commentator "Veri- tas" predicted that the present Jap anese regime was hoping that dis agreement of the other Allies witt Russia would develop over the future of Manchuria and Korea. But he added:
 "As soon as it becomes clear (te the Japanese) that there is no hope of America and Britain becoming embroiled with the Russians ovel China, then I think we may set spectacular developments in Tokyo

same as the battles of the air, land and sea.
 And we have now won the battle of the laboratories as we have won the other battles,' he said.
 Joint Endeavor
 The President said that beginning in 1940-before Pearl Harbor-the United States and Great Britain pooled their scientific Knowledge that would be useful in war and said that many priceless helps to our victories" came from that arrange ment.
 With American and British scien- tists working together, he said, i've entered the race of discovery against the Germans"
 Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the late President Roosevelt agreed that the research should be carried on in the United States be- cause Britain was exposed to con- stant air attack and was still threatened with invasion.
 We now have two great plants and many lesser works devoted to the production of atomic power,' MT. Truman revealed. Employment during peak construction numbered 125 900 and over S, 900 individuals are even now engaged in operating the plants"
 Many of these persons, MT. Tru- man said, worked for 21s years and only flew" knew what they were producing.
 "They see great quantities of material going in and they see nothing coming out of these plants, for the physical size of the explos- i've charge is exceedingly small, the president said. we have spent $2,000, 900 900 on the greatest scientific gamble in history-and won.'
 Complex Procedure
 MT. Truman said the greatest marvel" was not the size of the enterprise, its secrecy, or its cost but "the achievement of scientific brains in putting together infinite ly complex pieces of knowledge held by many men in different fields of science into a workable plan"
 And hardly less marvellous" he continued, "has been the capacity of industry to design, and of laboi to operate, the machines and meth- ods to do things never done before so that the brain-child of many minds came forth in physical shape and performed as it was supposed to do."
 The president said that science and industry worked together un. der the direction of the Untet States Army on the project. Tht Army. he sad, achieved Ia unique success" in managing SO diverse problem in the advancement q knowledge in an amazingly shor time"
 Tt is doubtful if such anothel combination could be got togethel l in the world" the president 1aid - ..H
