Truman Will Ask
Law TO Control
Atomic Discovery

WASHINGTON, Aug. 90. CUP, -
President Truman will send to con-
3Tess next month.a a special message
proposing permanent government
control over all phases of atomic
energy development. it was revealed
Monday.
Chairman Ebert Thomas Cd,
Utah, of the senate military affairs
committee, said the measure was
now being prepared by the war de-
partment and that ne probably
would introduce it after the PreSi-
dents message was received.
Thomas declined to disclose speci-
flc details of the bill, but added:
Whatever course the law takes
you may be sure of one thing. The
discovery Of the secret Of releasing
atomic energy was made with the
money Of the American people, it
belongs to all the American people,
and it must be used for the benefit
OF all the American people"
Thomas said tnat the war depart
ment bill, which congress is expect
ed to pass without major m0difica
ton, will cover both war and peace
time uses of the devastating force
which precipitated Japan's sUrren-

forces, he added, will take over the
occupation Of all Japane! e-held
areas in the southwest Pacific
south of the Philippines.
A headquarters spokesman said
the first American occupation
forces would enter Japan prepared
for any conCition and armed with
all available weapons"
ATOMIC BOMB
This presumably would include
the atomic bomb.
"A soldier is not a soldier un-
less he is prepared for fighting. e"
the spokesman said The ocCupa-

eventuality"
Sixteen trim and silent Japanese
CnyOys boarded a transport plane
at Manila Nichols Field Mono az
afternoon to carry MacArthur's
message back to Hirohito.
The naming Of the japanese air
fields on which Allied planes would
land was believed to have been one
of the main points Of discussion at
the meeting. The fields presumably
would have to be heightened and
otherwise altered to accommodate
American aircraft, which generally
arc heavier than Japanese types.

Traffic Deaths
Over Week End
Reported as 40
BY UNITED PRESS

Ration-freed drivers crowded thf
highways Sunday in their first
mass pleasure jauntS since motoring
was restricted as a wartime mea
sure.
In spite of flood of traffic dur
ing the week end, police reported
the death toll was surprisingly low.
A United Press survey showed
that 40 persons were killed by au-
tOmobilc accidents throughout the
nation Sunday.
The National Safety Council in
Chicago agreed that the figure was
low but warned that the final total
Of deaths from accidents during
the week end probably would be
much higher. The council said that
approximately $50 persons were
killed in traffic accidents on an ave-
rage Saturday and Sunday during
August, 1941, before the war. The
council also said that in 1914, un-
der rationing, the average was $50
deaths This included all those in
jured during the week end who died
later.
