NAGAJAkI BOMB HIT
 DESCRIBED
Airmen Witnesses Say Spectacle Too Tremend-
 ous fO Believe

GUAM, Aug. 10.-Airmen 70 to 250 miles away witnessed the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and described it as "too tremendous to believe"
 Associated Press War Correspon- dent Richard Cushing reported that Ckinawa based fliers, attacking other targets on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu, saw flames and explosions as the most destructive weapon of the war found its mark.
 Pliers in the nearest plane report ed a smoke column whirled 10000 feet into the air. A crew member of a plane 250 miles away said he saw a fiery yellow orange ball shoot into the sky for 5000 feet, followed by a column of smoke which rose to at least 10000 feet
 These reports substantiated those received here. The pillar of smoke and dust prevented accurate assess ment of the damage wrecked by the second atomic bomb dropped on the NIppOIlCot.
 The results of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki were described as good" by General Spaatz, chief of the U. s. Army Strategic Air Forces, but he said three and a half hours af- ter the devastating weapon was dropped at noon yesterday, smoke still obscured the damage from photo reconnaissance plane.
 The new reports on the Nagasaki assault came as two flights of B-29s hit the Tokyo arsenal and Amagas- aki important oil refinery adjoining Osaka on HonShu.
 With radio Tokyo totally silent on the atomizing of Nagasaki, there was no other information on the awful fate of the western Kyushu seaport of 5000 population
 Spaatz Superforts carried their devastating blows against Japan in- to the fifth consecutive day with 7C-plane strike that poured 2,000- pound demolition bombs onto the Tokyo arsenal area.
 Crewmen's radioed reports said re- suits were excellent.

1916 TO BE TIGHTER
ON u. S. CIVILIANS

Washington A Tightening
vice of restrictions put the Ameri-
can home front ON notice that it's
fourth year of war is going to be
the toughest yet:
Advent of the new year will
usher in stern new controls over
the behind the-lines economy,
and fresh drains on the nations
rnanpower. They come on top
of strict new curbs already ap-
piled.
Draft calls rise 10000 men a
month and IS per cent of all meat
goes under rationing compared
with 81 per cent yesterday; other
food rationing has been frightened
and civilian motorists will get 10
per cent fewer tires.
With the war in Europe now of
uncertain length, officials dis
close that additional curbs are
likely.
All recent relaxation of con-
trolls which permitted increased
use of copper and brass in civilian
products will be reviewed. Where
plants have not gone too far in
retooling to use copper and brass,
the relaxations will be cancelled.
The brass and copper are needed
again for bullets.

LESS MEAT PREDICTED
FOR PUBLIC THIS YEAR

Chicago-Meat supplies for 1913
million American civilians next
year will be governed by the date
of victory in Europe.
Analysing the prospects for
1945 on the basis of government
estimates, the American Meat in
stitute predicted 1872 pounds of
meat will be available per civili-
an if the Germans quit early in
the year.
If the European war is contin-
ued through most of 1945, civilian
per capita consumption of meat
will be limited to 122 pounds. Per
capita consumption in 1914 was
143 pounds.
Despite the prospects for re-
duction of total meat supplies, the
institute declared that more beef
will be available next year when
civilians are expected to get so

BY THE NEA WASHINGTON
BUREAU

From various sharply angled
civilian conjectures about the
returning serviceman, one would
be tempted to believe that the
country will be overrun after
the war with a collection of kill
crazy characters who would bash
in a mother-in-law's head at the
slightest provocation. The re-
turned serviceman is pictured as
moody, jittery, embittered,
coarsened man, unable to adjust
himself to the humdrum of max
ing living. If he has been long
away in foreign lands, he is
sometimes seen by worried
wives as a fancy philanderer who
never will be able to sink into
householder domesticity.
This gloomy forecast will be
realized. There will be men who,
calloused by killing. will reach
for a gun reflexively. There
will be alcoholics, shattered
nerve cases, loafers, buns, drift
ers, thieves, ne'er-do-wells.
There will be men who never
again will be able to settle into
homogeneous domesticity. Lads
who never said darn" will in
terlard their talk with rugged
Anglo-Saxonisms, and mild kids
who never .tussled in school NM
knock the ears off the first guy
to rile them. a..
But these men will be, minor
ity group, possibly no larger
than a similar group under
peacetime conditions.
One naval transport officer
who has been bringing men back
from overseas for some time
now has had a liberal chance to
observe their reactions. He says
no man is quite the same when
he comes back. There is the
