ATOMIC BOMBS

LEAVES NO NEED FOR
RUSSIA ENTERING WAR
AGAINST JAPAN


LONDON, Aug. News
analysts here, in putting two
and two together, said that
President Truman, in giving
the news to the world about
the atomic bomb, had said
that, at the time he, former
Prime Minister Churchill and
Generalissimo Chaing Kali
Shek, had sent the ultimation
to Japan from Potsdam,
knew about the destructive
forces of the atomic bomb
and the effect it would have
of knocking the Japs out of
the war, and that, because
of that circumstance, nothing
was said about Russia's emit
ering the war against Japan.
One analyst said that, with
the decision having been
made to use the bomb against
the Japs, there was no need
for Russia to enter the war.
Japan will be defeated,
and defeated shortly, without
Russia" he concluded.

City Prisoners Will BE
Used On One Of Sea-
venger Trucks To Carry
On Operations

In accordance with a new
plan adopted in the city,
prisoners lodged in the City
Jail in the future will be used
in a tree-trimming program,
which has already started on
o small scale.
One of the scavenger
trucks has been appropriated
for taking the prisoners
around, who will trim trees
and otherwise clear up grown
up plots along various streets.
Especial attention will be
given TO tree limbs and bran
ches that hang over the side
walks, some of which extend
far out into the streets, many
Of which are low enough to
be a hindrance to pedestri-
ans walking along sidewalks,
and which also become dang
erous at night, especially in
rather dark places, where
one is liable to strike their
head on protruding limbs
whiehsextenSl -far toe low
downward.
The drivers on the trucks
will be made special police
men, who will have authority
TO work the prisoners in ques-
ton, while Lain Dobbs, man
ager of the Scavenger Depart
ment. will have general sup
eTvision over the cleanup
program.
1t is said that the days of
taking the City Jail for a
summer resort" are over,
and that prisoners in the fut-
ure will be required to do
some sort of work for the
city, instead of just hanging
around and taking life easy,
While only one truck will
be used to begin with, never
theless other trucks will be
pressed into service when
ever the situation warrants
same.
Other cleanup measures
are now being considered
which will be put into effect
as soon as the necessary ar
rangements are made with
the proper equipment OBJ
tanned to carry on these pro
posed operations.

LONDON PAPERS
COMMENT ON Use
OF ATOMIC BOMB
AGREED THAT EMPLOYING
BOMB AGAINST JAPAN
WILL SHORTEN WAR TO
GREAT EXTENT

LONDON, Aug. z. - All
London papers commented
today on the use of the atomic
bomb on Japan, and the staid
Manchester Guardian re-
marked that man may have
invented something THAI will
destroy himself ultimately.
Other papers declared that
the discovery in trapping
and then releasing atomic
force will change the entire
strategy of war. No longer,
the London Daily Mail said,
assuming that there will be
another war, will one army
be able, as heretofore, to oc-
cupy a strategic height"
when a single atomic bomb
could be used tc wipe out the
height.
Further comment was in ex-
pressing the hope that ways will
be found in using the discovery
to promote economic efforts Of
r,ankind. Harvesting the atom
to do mans work on an exten-
sive scale along peaceful lines,
one paper stated, would be q
decided asset to the welfare el
the world"
The papers, agreed that elm,
rloyfng the bomb against Japar
will shorten the war. One parel
stated that destruction caused by
the bomb will convince Jap war
lords that further resistance viii
mean only one thing - the dc.
struction of their country. Either
Japan will surrender or japan
will be destroyed to a far greater
extent than the Romans destroy
cd Carthage, another newspaper
said.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. - A
former BIT bombardier gunner,
now back in his old civilian job,
said to me:
Il could hit you clip with the
side of my hand and kill you :.
but it scares hell out of me to
know it,"
He said he was scared because
some day he might get sore and
do it to somebody. He had been
judo-trained TO kill quickly, 81
lently, sapaseIy without weapons.
We were just talking.
The subject was whether ser
vice men, taught to kill with their
hands, would be police problem
in postwar days. He said he didn't
think so because of lessons
learned from service discipline
and because former service men,
except for roughnecks who would
have been dangerous even if
they'd never seen a uniform, want
TO be "houSe pets"
A former Air Forces WAC said:
Eight of every ten judo trained
men have been ruined as house
pets for maybe some time"
An Eighth Air Force captain
said he thought the bombardicr-
gunner was right. A captain in
the Army Medical Corps agreed
with the WAC.

neck out of a cheStful of South
