ATLEE COMPLAINT
STlRS CROWLEY

Japan's surrender Until some new
type agreement took its place.
Since Lend-Lease sprang from
Congressional action, he said, any
such new measure would require
Congressional approval also and
would have taken weeks and per-
haps months OF negotiation.
Crowley said that other European
nations, whose economies also have
been affected by termination OF
Lend-Lease, had realized the inc
vitability of the U. S. decision and
already were cooperating with US"
to arrange for continued shipments
on a credit basis.
Forseeing the impact that ces-
sation of Lend-Lease would have
on war-wrecked nations, he said
Congress had included provisions
within the law itself to help nations
absorb the shock
He mentioned specifically a
clause which would allow nations,
including Britain, to continue re.
ceiving goods contracted for under
Lend-Lease after W. Day if they
promised to pay for them within
3 years at 2-3-8 per cent inter.

ed burns to the extent that their
skin turned bright red but as
these burns were caused by ultra
violet rays they hardly felt the
heat at that time. Two hours
later, however, blisters former
resulting in dropsy.
Although abundant medical
supplies were rushed to the scene
of disaster and treatment was un-
sparingly given to the vic inns, the
death list continued to grow daily.
1T is recalled following the ato-
mic bomb raid on Hiroshima that
an American radio broadcast said
Hiroshima had been turned into
place whereall living creatures
cannot exist for rs years. It add
ed that to send scientists to investi-
gate the damage caused by the
atomic bomb would be suicidal"
ION Aug. s, the War Department
denied published reports that areas
devastated by the atomic bomb
would continue to react tor years
with death-dealing radioa ctivity.
LIS statement quoted DR.. J. K.
Openheimer, head of that phose OF
the atomic research, as saying
there is every reason to believe
that there was no appreciate
radioactivity on the grounds at
Hiroshima and what little there
was decayed very rapidly.'D
The fact that uranium had
deeply penetrated into the groun., :"
the Tokyo broadcast continued,
has been easily ascertained by
using Geiger-Mueller special
calculation meterand it has been
disclosed that the Uranium used
in the atol1ic bomb is harmful to
human bodies and is causing an in
creasing number of deaths.
Denomination of SO servicemen,
of whom 10 had received burns
in reconstruction projects one
week after the bombing took place,
showed those with burns had 3,l50
white corpuscles and others who
were apparently healthy had $500.
Compared to the ordinary healthy
person who has 1000 to 5000 white
corpuscles, this is a drastic de-
crease.
"On the other hand, servicemen
with burns had only 3,065, 900 red
corpuscles and others apparently
healthy had 3,094,0 which when
compared to the 100000 to 5,0O0,-
900 red corpuscles of the ordinary
healthy person again is an extreme
shortage.
This shows that no one can
completely recover from the in
juries sustained by the atomic
bomb as long as he stays in dew

jected to headaches, fainting
spells, lack of appetite, parched
throat, WEAKNESS, constipation and
other illnesses, it has been found.
THE radioactivity of Uranium
has thus truly dealt a major blow
against Hiroshima's hopes for post
war reconstruction and rehabilita-
tion.'

Japanese accused the Russians Of

an alleged plan for private air

The Russians disclosed that their
