OAK RIDGE, TENN, Aug. GIN
The atomic bomb which is deal

Japan comes from a section that
a thousand days ago was as rural

From a rolling countryside dot

Today some 1000 construction

in the $1,000 acre project, an area
which before the war contained
only $3.50 residents.
I first drove through the project
in July, 1943. seven months after
the first building was started, and
on the night trip saw only a few
clusters of lights marking the a.
hour-a-day construction. A guard
accompanied me on the trip and
was frank about mot having an
idea as to what was being made.
My second trip was in April OF
1914 when a group of East Ten

Removal Of Hirohito
Would Be Ultimate
In Disaster 10 Japs
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
To the leaders of Japan the re-
moval of the Emperor apparently
would be the ultimate disaster
which they are not yet ready to ac-
cept, despite the hopelessness of the
empires situation.
The Domei broadcast, making re-
tention Of the Emporor;s sovereign
rights condition of otherwise total
surrender, emphasizes the unique
position Hirohito holds among the
worlds rulers.
Regarded as Living God.
The Japanese call him the Tenno
Son of Heaven-and the masses
believe him to be living god. They
say he is the 124th ruler of a dy-
nasty "unbroken for ages eternal
descended from the Sun Goddess
Amaterasu, principal deity of their
national faith, Shinto.
The reigning Emperor not only is
the temporal head of the state, but
also the religious head of the nation
the representative of all the Shinto
deities. which include his own an
cestors.
The orthodox japanese belief is
that the dynasty was founded in $50
B. c. by Jimmu Tenno, a great
great-grandson of the sun goddess.
This date is not supported by actual
historical records, since the oldest
Japanese writings came some 1,OOC
years later.
Wields Little Power.
The great majority of japanese
indoctrinated in emperor worship by
intense propaganda, probably would
be unable to conceive of a world
without the Tenno. The shock OF
his removal probably would come tc
the devout as a more staggering
blow to the Imagination than the
atomic bomb.
Despite the worship accorded him
the Emperor as an individual usu-
ally wields little actual power. Hiro-
hita has been described as a more
or less unwilling party to the mega
lomaniac schemes of the militarists
who gained control of the throne
in the 30s and used its power to
lead the japanese people to disaster

Church Groups Attack
Use Of Atom Bomb
AS 'Hideous' Weapon
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Aug. 10.-Describing
the atomic bomb as "a more hideous
weapon of destruction than ever
haunted the dreams OF a madman,' >
the Pilot, official organ of the
Catholic Archdiocese of Boston,
today condemned the use of the
powerful explosive by either the
Allies or the Axis.
ITO what horrifying climax has
our vaunted science Gomez" the
paper asked in an editorial.
The advances of science are in
tended for the bettermen Of human
living. All the extraordinary vir-
lures claimed for the split atom
scarcely atone for the original sin
of mass destruction with which this
monstrous force was ushered into
the world" the Pilot said.
The morality of war cannot over
look the existence of helpless nom
combatants. Voiceless peoples can
not be ruthlessly victimized for the
sins of their leaders.
Declaring the assertion that the
enemy would have used this new
invention first If they had had it is
far from the point" the paper said
The sorry reality Is that neither
side should use it."

u. S. Urged to Demonstrate
How Bomb Con Stop Wor

NEW YORK. Aug. 10 P,.-Two
Protestant leaders yesterday urged
that America, in using the atomic

prosecute it,"
In a joint statement, Bishop G.
Bromley Oman, president of the
Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, and John Foster
Dulles, chairman of the councils
commission on a just and durable
peace, urged suspension or alter
alton Of the air attack on Japan Ito
give the Japanese people adequate
opportunity to react to the new sit
uation through leaders who will ac-
cept the surrender terms offered
them"
Asserting that the atomic bomb
could make "a fuller, better life for
all, but might make this planet un-
inhabitable," the two leaders said ::
The only defense against the latter
fate is self-restraint and sense of
responsibility of those who control
