Quods' Dad Sought Out
(NEA Telephoto)

Pittsburgh, Aug. T. (UP) Will liam (ReD Thompson, former army sergeant. had message today from Nora Carpenter, the English girl who bore him quadruplets IT months ago. It asked him to return to Eng land.
 The message was delivered by TIS Albert Frazer who returned to Pitts burgh three days ago after a year and-a-half overseas service.
 Asks Return
 According to Fraser Miss Carpen- ter asked that Thompson return to her and their three remaining chill dren.
 "Tell him I r%ant to know when he's coming back to England to us It's much easier for him to come here than it is for me to come over there," Miss Carpenter was quoted by Frazer.
 But the 27-year-old Thompson, whose Pittsburgh wife refuses to grant him a divorce, said he was surprised by the message.
 T just received letter from Nora yesterday and she didn't say any thing about my going back" he said.

 Disclosure; Big
 Three Decisions

Washington, Aug. 7-(UP)-Sen Arthur H. Vandenberg, R., Mich. expressed hope today that Presi- dent Truman would clarify the Potsdam declarations of Free Polish elections and a free press in Poland and "other blackout areas of Flu rope"
 In his first comment on the &C., complishments of the recent Big Three. conference, Vandenberg ex- pressed dissatisfaction at the ab- Sence of a specific three-power guar ante for free election in Poland.
 Seeks Truth
 The official communique, he said in statement, merely noted that the Polish provisional government had agreed to a free election and to free movement of Allied correspon- dents during the election.
 It was also mot enough" Vanden- berg said" for the Big Three to say that they have mo doubt that the representatives of the Allies press will enjoy full freedom to re- port from Romania, Bulgaria, Hun gry and Finland"
 T express the earnest hope" he said, that the president will short ly give us definite word that un- censored American correspondents actually have been admitted to these areas and that the whole truth shall stand without dispute. Surely Amer ica is entitled to ask this much and to be satisfied with no less"

Covonoueh Gets Medal
 Bronze Star Is Given South Elm Street
 Sergeant

Sgt Raymond Cavanaugh, son of Mrs. Mary Cavanaugh of 188 South Elm street, attached to the 20th Armored Division stationed in Ruh- polding, Germany, has been named recipient of the Bronze Star Medal.
 A former employe of the Plume and Atwood Co.,, Sgt. Cavanaugh expects to revert back to the Third Army control very shortly. His pres ent outfit is in Category W which means demobilization Most of the keymen in that outfit have over 85 points and are eligible for dis charges, but the local lad only has 63 and will probably be reassigned after a 30-day furlough in the United States.
 A graduate of St. Mary's Parochial and Crosby high schools, Sgt. Cav anaugh recently paid visit to the famous Lourdes Shrine in France. His trip covered 3,100 miles. On the way home he stopped at the Sisters of Charity Convent in Meyers, France, to view the tomb of St. Bernadette. Her body is laid out in front of the right altar in the chapel and Sgt. Cavanaugh claims authoritative sources informed him she looks exactly as she did when she died over 65 years ago. One of the nuns told him how a few years ago a rib was extracted from her body to be used as relic at Lourdes and that doctors who per- formed the operation vowed that she was preserved just as good in- formally as externally.

cluded the atomic bombing raid.
 Factory Center

Factory Center Hiroshima, objective of the raid lies IS miles north of Kure on the Honshu coast of Japan's inland sea. A port and a major communica- tionS center on the main route be- tween Tokyo and Kyushu, Hiro- shima was the site of such impUr- tant war plants as the Japan Steel Works, the Osaka Machine Tool Company and Mitsubishi heavy in- duStrieS.
 Its factories turned out arms munitions, Diesel engines, ships. electrical equipment and aircraft Its 1940 population was 343,968.
 Since Hiroshima never before had been attacked, photographs should provide conclusive evidence of the destructive force of the atomic bomb.
 Specially trained air crews were expected to carry the new bombs to Japan on future raids. No an- nouncement was made, however, re- garding the types of planes to be used in atomic bombing raids.
 One of the most difficult prob lems solved before the initial at- tack yesterday was that of enabling the raiding plane to escape the ter rife effect of the bombs blast.
 Informed sources at Pearl Harbor said the full development of the bomb would revolutionize warfare and eliminate some weapons now in use.

patience over the "clow progress of the enemy's much-vaunted invas- in of Japan's mainland" Praise Resistance
 ''In view of the gallant resistance of hte Japanese forces as exempli- fled by the battles of Iva Jima and Okinawa, the enemy's hope of a quick battle and a quick decision in the forthcoming battle of Japan's homeland has been well-nigh frus- trated,' the broadcast said.
 Tn these circumstances, the enemy began to employ a barbaric method as last and desperate resort. By employing a new weapon designed to massacre innocent civilians, the Americans have open ed the eyes of the world to their sadistic nature"
 A Japanese Imperial headquarters communique also conceded that "new-type bombs" had caused considerable damage"
 An earlier Japanese broadcast had reported the cancellation of trains in the Hiroshima area as result of air raid damage without mentioning the possibility that 8 new-type bomb had been used.
 Accurate assessment of the des- truction wrought by the atomic mis- Slle at Hiroshima, an industrial and communications center on Japan's inland sea, still awaited reconnais- sance photographs.
 First photograph planes to reach the Hiroshima area after the raid were unable to penetrate the dense dust and smoke rising from the stricken area.
 Jap Text
 The text of the Japanese Imperial Headquarters communique on the raid, as issued at 3:30 D. m. (2::3O a. m., EWT0, was as follows:
 "1. Considerable damage was caused in Hiroshima City as the re- suit of an attack by small number of B-29s yesterday, August 6.
 "2. The enemy appears to have employed new type bombs in this attack. However, details are now under investigation"
 Actually, only one atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.
 Radio Osaka reported the cancel lation of various trains in Hiro- shima Prefecture and other areas because of B-29 Superfortress raids without mentioning specifically either the atomic bomb or the des- truction it caused.
 The first recorded Japanese refer ence to the bomb had come a half hour earlier over the Tokyo radio. The Domei Agency broadcast the following dispatch:
 Jap Reference
 Tokyo, Aug. - President Harry Truman and Prime Minister Cle- ment Attlee announced simultan- eously yesterday that American air. craft on Sunday afternoon Omitted States time) dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, according to United Press and Reuters newscastS recorded here"
 The dispatch was beamed in English to the United States. Whether it was distributed also to Japanese newspapers was proble- nautical.
 Earlier Japanese broadcasts had reported that small force of Su- perfortresses raided Hiroshima with incendiaries and explosives about 8:2O a. m. yesterday. The extent of damage caused was said to be un- der investigation.
 Tokyo also revealed that the Jap- anese cabinet met today to discuss transportation of materials from China and other internal and for eign affairs" These presumably in-

 Bong contacted the control tower at the field almost as soon as he was ariborne, officials said, and re- ported he was having trouble.
 He was dipping first one wing, then the other" said one witness. The motor was making a muffled popping. He flew over some teie- phone wires and under high ten- sion wires making for vacant lot"
 Then with roaring sigh like a giant blow torch the ship lurched over the trees and exploded in the field. Smoke and flames bellied up 400 feet and brought crowds run ming from the airport, a mile away.
 The shy Poplar, Wis, farm boy, curly-haired and blue-eyed, once admitted to his sister he always was scared before he got into his plane to head out for a death-duel with the enemy.
 Mrs. Marjorie Bong, his 21-year- cid widow, said he had no pre- monition of death.
 "He said he was going to take me to a movie when he got home" she said.

 Mrs. Bong leaves today to accom- pany the body to Superior, Wis, in an Army transport plane. No fu- neral arrangements will be made until she arrives, she said.

New Duties For Mosgrove
 Brown Street Cor
 poroI Engineer
 Troinee

Corporal Edward J. Mosgrove, son of MT. and Mrs. Charles Mos grove of 101 Brown street, has be- gun training as an aviation en- gineer of the Air Forces at Gejger Field, Spokane, Washington, ac- cording to Colonel James W. Park, commanding officer of that base.
 Some of the subjects taught by the AAF Aviation Engineer School are repair and operations of auto motive equipment such as tractors and graders used in airport con- sLruction, Craftsmanship, camou- fage technique, carpentry, opera ton of highway construction equip- ment which is used in the building of airport landing strips, surveying and knowledge of the operations of the weapons. Almost equal empha- sis is placed on knowledge of weapons, because Aviation Engineer units often operate on the heels of invading troops and must be pre- pared to help clear airport sites Of the enemy if necessary or to de- fend their engineering work in case of attack. Some of the weapons studied are the 50 calibre machine gun, mortar. bazooka, rifle, carbine and pistol.
 Upon completion of his training Cpl. Mosgrove will be assigned to an Aviation Engineer unit. These units are an integral part of the Army Air Forces and have as their mission the performance of all en- gineer work needed by the Air Forces in all theaters of operations. The unit must be able to construct, maintain, camouflage and defend airdromes ranging from huge base airports behind our lines to hastily constructed fields at the front lines. Aviation Engineers have already taken part in almost every opera tion of the Air Forces and at present are stationed all over the world from the Burma jungles to the Southwest Pacific.
