George HasSinger, 63, a carpenter. of 175 Scott road, was arrested to- day as the f1it-run driver who left 13-year-old William Aubertin lying unconscious in the rain on East Main street near Calvary cemetery early this morning.
 S,urenders Self
 HaSsinger walked into police headquarters at 9 a. m., and told Sgt. John Murphy and Motor Pa trolman John Walsh that he under stood police were looking for the driver of a car like his. He said he was driving along East Main street about the time or the accident last night, and recalled feeling a bump, but denied any knowledge of strik- ing the child. He was released under a $500 bond on charges of reckless driving and evadihg responsibility.

 Lives Again

Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 Vienna, Aug. 7.-(UP)-Vaslav Nijinsky drank until he was wobbly drunk for the first time in his life. Then, after 2 years of utter silence, found that he could speak again and that his world-famous legs could dance again.
 His friends, the Russians, had ar rived. They spoke his language. They played his songs.
 Romola, his faithful wife who lives with the insane dancer in the bomb-gutted Sacher hotel in bat tered Vienna, told me the story.
 Listen awhile, and I will tell you this story" she said. Tt is some thing for the fairies. It is an un- believable thing. We were living in our little house in the woods near Urdenburg and Wienerne Stadt when the Russians came.

Destruction Unknown: Brand Allies; 125 Forts Strike Japan Again
FoIIow-Up Previous Raids; British
 Planes Enter Fray; Pilots See Robot Bombs in Jop-Lond

 Guam, Aug. 7-UP)-A fleet of 125 Superfortresses hit the Toyokawa naval arse nal with 880 tons of high explosive bombs today while smoke still belched from om-bombed Hiroshima, 300 miles to the west.
 Radio Tokyo said 40 Iwo- based American Mustang fighter-bombers led by a lone B-29 almost simultaneously bombed and strafed military installations and "cities" in the southwest section of the Tokyo-Yokohama area for an hour for the fourth time in five days.
 Several British planes participated in the Tokyo raid, Tokyo said. It marked the first time British land based planes have been reported in action over the Japanese capital.
 From Okinawa came a belated re- port that 400 bombers and fighters of the Far Eastern Air Force had utterly demolished what appeared to be robot plane launching install lations and other military targets at Taramizu in southern Kyushu. The city itself was left sea of flames, airmen said.
 Returning pilots said they saw on the ground a number of small planes resembling the VI or V-2 jet-propelled and rocket robot bombs used by the Germans against Britain. It was theorized that the Japanese might have been plotting a robot bombardnent of the Ameri- can invasion base of Okinawa, $50 miles to the southwest.
 SuperfortresseS thundered over the naval arsenal at Toyokawa, 35 miles southeast of Nagoya, at the 1lOOl1 1I1lC1l 1lOOl GOQdy III ullG11 first daylight raid on the enemy homeland in recent weeks. Iwo- based fighters escorted the big bombers.
 Preliminary reports indicated ex- cellent results were achieved in pin- point bombing of the main surviving source of Japan's naval ammunition. The arsenal also turned out ma- chine-guns, aircraft, cannon, anti aircraft guns and rifles.
 The arsenal was situated on narrow coastal plain northeast of Atsumi Bay.
 Some damage" was caused during the 90-minute raid, radio Tokyo ad- mitted.
 Gen. Carl A. spaatz, commander of the strategic air forces, also re- ported that final reports on yes

Jap pHospitoI Ship Held
BY RALPH TEATSORTH

United Pres War Correspondent
 An Allied Pacific Port, Aug. T. (UP)-A Navy prize crew from two seventh fleet destroyers brought the Japanese hospital ship, Tachibana Maru, into an Allied harbor Mon- day after it had been discovered to be carrying arms, ammunition and other contrabrand.
 Violated Rules
 The Tachibana Maru was board ed three days previously and found to be carrying articles in violation of Geneva convention rules for hos pital ships.
 The seizure of the ship and its voyage to this port was without violence.
 The Navy turned over 1,562 pa- tients, 13 officers and 63 men of the hospital ship crew to U. s. army authorities who placed them in Stockade.
 It was the largest single haul of prisoners in the Pacific area.
 Carried COntraband
 Navy crews are still digging out contrabrand hidden in the ships hold.
 Official figures were not yet avail able but scores and perhaps hun- dreds of boxes of .75 and .83 NM shells, fuses, rifles, heavy and light machine guns, grenades, bayonets, knives and sabers were found on the ship.
 I saw many such packages wrapped in fiber mating and la- belled with large red crosses such as are placed on medical supplies.
 Another article found on the ship non-contraband but unique-was a bottle of Scotch WhiskeY.

Surrender .ofJopon
 Probable
Yankee Bluff Now Reality; Wide Open For Invasion
BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press War Analyst

OAAVVN ACSS VvoE SAAAdAyot
 The unloosening of the basic powers of the universe contained in the first atomic bomb may shake the alleged determination of the Japanese people to fight on rather than reject the Potsdam ultimatum.
 Overnight the whole potency of war has been increased thousand fold. Japan's vulnerability, an iso- lated island now completely block aded by air and sea surface forces and by underwater mines, is such that continued resistance can only bring irreparable devastation.
 Overthrow Military
 No one knows that better, today, than Japan's industrialists and, perhaps, the imperial court. But war remains the prerogative of the Jap- anese military caste. There are no indications thus far that the mill itary caste will surrender the au- thority and power they hold in the Japanese government.
 Talk about the imminence of Jap- anese surrender will continue to be loose talk" until the civil indus trial and financial caste can dis possess the military caste of their power within the cabinet. The next shakeup will indicate clear ly whether Japan wants peace.
 There may have been many in Japan who discounted as Yankee bluff" our warning in the Pots- dam communique that utter de- struction" would follow Japanese

Bomb s First Trial; July
BY ROGER RIPARIAN United Press Staff Corarsr>ov,7 7


 United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Aug. 7-(UP)-The rain had stopped and the quiet of the New Mexico desert wilderness was broken only by the occasional rumble of diminishing electrical storm.
 The delay caused by pouring rains was ended. The time was fast ap- preaching for the first test of the atomic bomb, fruit of mans long and audicious fight to harness the basic energy of the universe.
 New Mexico Site
 The time was a. m., July IS. The place, remote section of the army,s Almagordo air base 120 miles south east of Albuquerque.
 Quietly, but with an air of tense expectation, a group of picked scien- tists began their work.
 From a steel tower built on the desert waste they suspended the atomic bomb-an object represent- ing a $2,000,00 900 investment and years of tireless work by the keenest scientific brains that the United States and Britain could gather to- gether.
 There had been moments of nerve wracking delay while the bomb it. self was being assembled. The parts had been machine tooled down to the finest measurement: yet. when the experts tried to insert Q vital piece, it jammed and refused to move.

 Petoin Defended

NOAAtCu AICSS StdA SOAACSPOAAOCAV
 Paris, Aug. 7.-(UP)-Marcel Pey- routon, former Vichy minister of Britain initiated contact with the interior, testified today that Great government of Marshal Henri Philippe Petain in October, 1942.
 The thickset, powerfully built Pey- routon was the 17th defense witness in the treason trial of Petain. To- days session was delayed by a sui eide under a subway train on which juror was riding to the high court.
 The smallest crowd of the 14-day trial was in the oak-paneled court room today. A midsummer heat wave and the likelihood of minor defense testimony cut sharply into the spectator interest.
 Petain-LavaI Friction
 Peyrouton, the first witness, was asked to recount events of Dec. 13 1940, when friction between Petain and Pierre Laval eliminated in the temporary busting of Laval.
 He said the government was work ing under abnormal" conditions during the period leading to the blowup. Laval, he said, was charged

World Makes Entry
 Into Atomic Age

The next day-yesterday-Presi- dent Truman gave the enemy an- other chance to accept the surren- der-or-be-destroyed ultimatum of Potsdam.
 If they do not accept our terms, he said, "they may expect rain of ruin from the air, the like Of which has never been seen on this earth"
 Observers here, frankly awed by the bombs implications, believed the Japanese this time-if they have any reason left-even might see the light.
 But it may be that many more bombs will have to be dropped upon Japan. Invasion troops may have to follow the bombs. The United States takes no chances. Size of the Army will not be reduced now because the new weapon is in use.

Enemy Claims More Thon One Bomb Fell; Charge Borbor- ism Against Our Method.
By WILLIAM F. THREE United Press War Correspondent

S "~A AASSPO~A~>>SSs
 Guam, Aug. 7-(UP)- Tokyo said today that Amer ican atomic bombs descended on Hiroshima by parachute yesterday, exploded before reaching the ground and caused such great devasta- tion that authorities still have not ascertained it's full extent.
 Japanese propagandists said that the use of the new weapon was "suf- ficient to brand the enemy for ages to come as the destroyer of {. mankind" and public enemy num- Der one of social justice"
 Heavy Fires
 An Investigation was under way into the extent of the destruction in the worlds first atomic bombing. Tokyo said. First reports showed that considerable number" of houses had been demolished and fires broke out at several places, the broadcast added.
 The broadcast, coming almost 36 hours after the raid, said the deS- tructive power of the new weapon cannot be sighted" but claimed that Japanese authorities already were working out effective colln- ter-measures."
 '@The history of war shows that the new weapon, however effective, will eventually lose it's power, as the opponent is bound to find methods to nullify its effects,' Takyo said hopefully.
 Claim Heavier Attack
 The enemy version of the attack said small number of American planes dropped a '.few'' of the new type bombs. It was annuonced off, cially at Washington that only one bomb was dropped. It was apparent that the Japanese could not be- lieve a single plane and single bomb could cause so much destruc- ton.
 Tokyo attributed the American use of the Atomic bomb to i'm
