Fifteen Dead In Explosion

Port Arthur, Ont. Aug. 8-Fif- teen persons were known dead to- day, nine were missing and 37 were seriously injured as result of the ex- plosion of grain elevator here yesterday.
 Thirteen of the fatalities were killed almost instantly as the blast rocked more than a mile-wide area in which Saskatchewan wheat pools No. elevator was located.
 Police and rescue workers still were digging in the ruins of the big concrete structure for bodies of the missing. More than 50 persons were regularly employed in the unload- ing department of the elevator, but 1t had not been established how many were on the job when the explosion occurred shortly after Il a. m.
 The explosion. caused by spon- taneous combustion yesterday in the Saskatchewan Pool elevator No. 5, blew out the four walls of the ele- vator.
 Most of the train valued at 2,000.- 900 which was stored in the eleva- tor was destroyed. The elevators loss was estimated at $1,250.000
 Fire followed the explosion, but was brought quickly under control.

mained on the ticket in l943 and he continued as 8 member of the Board of Police Commissioners. It was generally presumed that "all was forgiven" and tht the admins tration was one "big happy family to all appearance.
 Rock Began
 A few days ago when the prinl- aries were accepted as a mere form ality, word was circulated that two new candidates were in the field for aldermanic nomination, both of whom come from Alderman Sulli- vans district.
 Tonight delegates will have a choice of Alderman Sullivan, his friend, John J. Rock, well-known in sporting circles, and Bernard J. Began of Cole street, whose late father was prominent in political circles for years and represented the Fifth Ward in the aldermanic chamber.
 Today circulars marked Keep! Keep! Keep! Martin F. Sullivan AS One of Our Aldermen" were distri- buted in the Baldwin street section of the city. It is apparent that friends of alderman-c commissioner plan to carry the fight to the con- vention floor. Well-informed politi- cal observers appreciate the fact that unless the nod" is forthcoming from the party leaders, Alderman Sullivan's name will not be placed on the Democratic ticket tonight.

 On convalescent leave from the Walter Reed hospital in Washing ton, D. C., upon his arrival in Con- necticut, Sortaintino immediately went to Ansonia where he began his search for parents of his bud dy. When all clues failed, he finally appealed to the town clerk in An sonia who referred him to the Chase Parkway family.
 Brave Youth
 He told Mrs. Brownell yesterday T want you to know that Robert was the bravest of men and the best leader 8 fellw could ask for He always saw to it the food got through to us in the foxholes. The men had great confidence in his judgment, tool. They followed his direction always without question. J
 Soraintino related that on the night the Waterbury infantryman met death, he had led three wound ed men to safety in the face of enemy fire. For his meritorious ac- tion, Sgt. Brownell was posthu- mously awarded the Bronze Star medal, which has been received by his parents.
 12-HOu Vigil
 So intense was German fire that Sortaintino crouched in the foxhole beside Brownell's body for twelve hours. His one regret, he said, was that he was unable to deliver the watch to Sgt. Bownell's parents 'He simply treasured it, and want ed it returned'to you," he told Mrs Brownell.
 The day following his graduation from New York Military Academy Sgt. Brownell enlisted in the serv- ice, and trained with the ASPT at Fort Benning, Ga, the University of Maryland. and College Park, Md. When the ASPT was dissolved, he was assigned to Camp Swift, Texas. where he received infantry training, going overseas last September.
 The Brownell family previously lived in Watertown. He was a mem- Der of the Watertown Golf Club, Lawn Club, and the Knickerbocker Club of New York.
 Beside the Bronze Star medal, Sgt. Brownell held the Good Con- duct medal, Expert nfantryman's badge, and Combat Infantryman's badge.

Manhattan project" wrote to friends that he was never permit ted out of the bounds of the plant. and saw movies and participated in all other recreation within its walls.
 Three other broad names were used for the atomic bomb projects, local officials pointed out today, in stating they were never told of the specific work involved when they made referrals to those top priority projects.
 Bristol Co.
 A check made on various factor ies in this area by the Democrat today disclosed that the Bristol Go. had been shipping instruments during the past year to the plant at Oak Ridge, Tenn, where the bomb was made.
 Asked whether the officials of the Bristol Co. were aware the atomic bomb was in process of manufac- ture, E. L. Stilson, an assistant sales manager, replied, T wouldn't care to answer that question"
 MT. Stillson explained that during manufacture of atomic bombs, 1t is essential to control temperatures, pressure, pH values, and many other physical quantities, and the Bristol instruments had been used for these purposes.
 Others Participated
 Spokesmen for two other Water bury factories declared today that 1t was possible that their firms had contributed components to the ato- mic bomb but they were uncertain because of the secrecy surrounding its manufacture.
 Fred Lux, president and treasurer of the Lux Manufacturing Co.,, which manufactures bomb fuses, de- clared there was a possibility the Lux component had been used in the manufacture of the bomb since the Johnson street factory had re- ceived several orders of Secretive nature.
 A spokesman for the U. s. Time Corp, said that the fuse made tLere might have been used to open she parachute but the discharge of the atomic bomb would require an electrical charge rather than 6 mechanical fuse, time fuse.
 Capt. G. K. Moriarty, public re- lations officer of the Springfield Ordnance division, told The Dem- ocrat that it was probable that many factories in the New England area had contributed component parts to the atomic bomb, The Ord- nance officer said he could offer no more information since the launch ing of the great bomb had been as much surprise to the staff at the division as it was to the ordinary citizens.

Capt. William Parsons, U. s. N., of Santa Fe., N. M., one of the de- signers of the bomb, who went along as "weaponeer repairer" to see that the bomb worked:
 ''The bomb resting in the bomb bay looked like the final test one we exploded less than month ago July 16-in a remote corner of the Alamogordo, N. M, bombing range.
 City Disappears
 q had a very personal interest in the mission. We knew when we started that success could only be measured in the first battle delivery on Japan.
 we knew it was worth lot in terms of shortening the war. When the bomb fell away, we began to put as much distance between us and the ball of fire which we knew was coming, as quickly as possible.
 '"There was a terrific flash of nght-even in the daytime. Visual shock was apparent from several miles.
 .That was the first indication had that the bomb worked. Each man said My God!'
 What had been Hiroshima was going up in 8 mountain of smoke.
 First I could see mushroom of boiling dust-apparently with some debris in it-up to 10000 feet. The boiling continued three or four minutes as I watched.
 "Then white cloud plumed up- wards from the center to come 40.- 900 feet. An angry dust cloud spread all around the city.
 There were fires on the fringes of the city, apparently burning as buildings crumbled and the gas mains broke.

unrest, and shortages in the have not nations"
 Robert Gaylord, chairman of the board of the. National Association of Manufacturers, said today that both the atomic bomb and the charter of United Nations required the imme- diate building of an official United States economic policy that must be followed "alertly and continuously instead of, only occasionally"
 Gaylord plans to leave soon for London as a member of the coun- Gil to reestablish the working organ ization of the International Cham Der of Commerce.
 Tt is worth emphasizing that the charter-to say nothing of this new atomic bomb -ofilcially elevateS the economic pacification of the world to the same level of importance as the forced suppression of interna- tional disorder The said.

 The presidents first press con- ference following the Berlin meet ing will be held early next week, probably Monday or Tuesday, Ross said.
 'He felt he should report to the people as a whole first" the press secrEary explained,
 MT. Truman also planned brief conferences today with Sens. Carl A. Hatch, D., N. M, and Harley M Kilgore, D., w. Va. He planned to spend the remainder of the day catching up with paper work and putting finishing touches on his address.
 Makes Preparation
 The President reduced his ap- pointments for today and tomorrow to a minimum.
 Ross said the Presidents speech would go into greater detail on some matters" treated at the Big Three conference.
 Asked if that would include mem tion of the Pacific war, which went virtually unnoticed in the Potsdam communique, Ross said he didn't want to predict on that question.
 Ross also would not comment on reports that the President had de- cided to take personal charge of atomic bombing of Japan if addi- tional use of the devastating weapon is necessary, or that a new surrender or else'' ultimatum would be handed to the Japanese.
 The President also arranged to meet with Secretary of State James F, Byrnes at 11:30 a. m.

 PAT Thunderbolts from Okinawa escorted the big bombers to Ya- wata, which lies at the northern tip of Kyushu. A city of 1000. Ya- wata was the target of the first B-2S attack on Japan on June IS. 1914.
 Anticipated Attack
 The city long had been marked for destruction, but bad weather prevented the climactic raid until today. A special announcement said the attack was the Hong -antic- ipated elimination of a plan by Maj. Gen. Curtis Le May to cripple the war-making potential of that ulCGIUpOllS.
 It was the 18th pre-warned city to be attacked by the B-29s.
 Three other Superfortress mis- sionS also were announced by Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, commander of the Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific.
 A number of B-29s mined enemy waters last night and early today another small force dropped 92 tons of bombs on Marcus island and a third attacked the Doublon boat basin at Truk with 85 tons of ex- plosives Tuesday afternoon. All re- turned safely.
 S Satisfactory Results
 Spaatz said generally excellent" results were achieved in the pre- viously- raid on the Toy- okawa naval arsenal on Honshu by 121 B-29s yesterday. One bomber damaged iV anti-aircraft fire was abandoned on the return trip, but the crew was rescued.
 During the raid on Toyokawa, ap- proximately 30 Mustangs strafed the Yokosuka area of Honshu. A 200-foot freighter was blown up and 19 other small vessels were dam-

 The result will probably be that several groups will draw away from
 their left-wing and openly Com mInist masters, form independent
 organizations and leave the 'lead- crs'' with nothing to lead. The 21-week jurisdictional joyride has cost employees millions in lost wages, harassed the studios, brought on i1-
 functions, arrests and lawsuits - and I haven't found anyone yet, on either side, who knows what is at issue.
 This simply had to happen: Betty Grable has served on her bosses at 20th Century-Fox that she has grown out of musicals, wants a straight dramatic role-you know, something worth while."
