 Washington, Aug. g - (UP1 Russia's entry into the Pacific var opened the Japanese homeland to- day to sustained air attacks from all directions.
 Air bases in Eastern Siberia will permit bombing planes to smash at Hokkaido, northernmost of the enemy's home islands, which has been relatively free from air attacks. They will also fill the one week gap in the blockade around Japan be- cause now planes can sweep the northern end of the Sea of Japan where up to now enemy shipping has been able to slip through to- Korea.
 It remains to be seen whether Q. s. as well as Russian planes will uSA Siberian bases. We have no bases lrl Siberia now.
 COordinated Plan
 Undoubtedly the question of coz ordinating the strategy and War effort of the Russians with the American and British figured in the. military discussions at Potsdau1. This may have included the use of Siberian air bases.

 Exact strength of Russia's Far Eastern forces was unknown outside high military quarters here. But 1t already was formidable and the massive reinforcement made 1t plain that Russia planned to attack with all its might once the zero hour came-as it did at 12:01 a. m. soday.
 Press Spurs Nation
 Headlines in Moscow newspapers clarioned Japanese aggression will be smashed" Japan and the Sam urai will be crushed" and 'entire Soviet people determined to end criminal war of Japanese imperial ists."

London, Aug. g -(UP)- The Catholic Herald, under the heading Utterly Indefensible," today de- nounced the use of the atomic bomb.
 "The use of such weapon (the atomic bomb), we hold. is not only utterly indefensible in itself but the reaching of this appalling goal lights up for us all the immortality, along the path we have all been treading.
 ''rhe pope, of course, was right all the time.

 Washington, Aug. 9-(UP)-Con- gress today welcomed Russia's en- trance into the Pacific war but ranked it second to the atomic bomb in forcing certain victory over Japan.
 The twin developments of the week left no doubt in any minds but that the end of the Japanese war is approaching. All agreed that the Russian action can be of benefit in hastening the day of complete victory at a saving of American lives.
 There were expressions, however, that the Russian action at this time should not be considered the decis- i've factor.

of them.
Second that the nations OF

Of sound policy.
