later, however, blisters formed, re-
sulting in dropsy.
Although abundant medical sup
plies were rushed to the scene of
the disaster and treatment was un-
sparingly given the victims, the
death list continued to grow daily.
It is recalled following the atomic
bomb raid on Hiroshima an Ameri-
can radio broadcast said Hiroshima
had been turned into place where
all living creatures cannot exist for
rs years. It added that to send
scientists to investigate the damage
caused by the atomic bomb would be
suicidal.
Examination OF 80 servicemen, Of
whom 10 had received burns while
engaged In reconstruction projects
one week after the bombing took
place showed those burns had $3.50
white corpuscles and the others who
were apparently healthy had $500.
Compared with ordinary healthy
persons who have 1000 to 5000 white
corpuscles, this is drastic decrease.
ION the other hand the service
men with burns had only 3,065, 900
red corpuscles and the others, ap-
parently healthy, 1904 900. which,
wen compared to the 4,5O0,OOO to
5000 900 red corpuscles Of an ordi-
nary healthy person Is again an
extreme shortage.
This shows no one can completely
recover from injuries sustained from

Dislike for Franco
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Truman took another
crack at Generalissimo Francisco
frances Spanish government yes
terday.
He told news conference that
none of us likes Franco or his gov
ernment.
The subject came up when the
President was asked about COM
ments made by British officials on
the Allied attitude toward the Fran
CO regime. He said he thought that
British Foreign Minister Bevins had
very clearly stated the agreement
reached by the Big Three at Pots
dam, which was that so long as
Franco remains in power Spain
should not be admitted to United
Nations membership.
The President brushed aside query
whether the Big Three would act to
prevent civil war in China by re-
ferring his questioner to the Sec
retary of State. He said he did not
know anything about it.
To question about his recent
conversations with T. v. Soong,
Chinese Premier, Mr.. Truman said
they covered all matters of interest
about China, the United States and
Soviet Russia. Beyond that he
would not go lest he embarrass the
other governments before the con-
ferenceS are concluded.

Returning Veterans
Wont Be Problem,
Gen. Vaughan Asserts

In an hour and q half talk before
the Women's Auxiliary Of the West
Presbyterian Church in
Alexandria, Of which he is an elder,
Brig. Gen. Harry II. Vaughan, the
Presidents Military Aide, last night
discussed subjects ranging from the
Potsdarn Conference and treatment
Of returning veterans to religion in
the war.
Calling Winston Churchill "a gar
rulous old gentleman" Gen. Vaugh-
an said that meter on the amount
Of words used by the three Allies
probably would show six for the
British to every two for the Ameri-
cans and one for the Russians.
'The Russians will buy anything"
Gen. Vaughan said. II sold wrist
watch which I had bought for SIS
TO Russian officer for $500.
THE Russians take everything of
value they can lay their hands on,
and I guess the furnishings Of the
palace where the conference was
held are already three-quarters OF
the way to Moscow"
Veteran Problem Discounted.
Asked by a member of the audi
ence If he believed President Roose-
velt's death had affected the United
States relations with Premier Stain,
Gen. Vaughan said he did not think
so and added that while he consid-
cred the late President a remark
able man, he believed that after a
diet of caviar it was good to get
back to ham and eggs"
Discussing returning veterans in
which he gave a vivid description
of yesterdays ceremony in which
President Truman awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor to
% veterans, Gen. Vaughan said the
returning servicemen are not going
to be any more of problem than
the average person, and will take "a
lot of letting alone"
He said those who have gone
through combat are probably not
going to want to talk about it while
1.-The soldier from the mahogany fox
hole in the Pentagon will be de-
lighted about their experiences in
the war"
Warning that man who was not
member of the church before he
went to war probably will not be a
regular churchgoer on his return,
Gen. Vaughan said that he believed
the returning veteran will be less
denomination minded.
Praises Catholic Church.
Gen. Vaughan praised the Cath
ohc Church for sending its best
priests into the Chaplain Corps.
When Catholic bishop was
asked to name 20 of his priests to
serve as chaplains, he would pick
his 20 best men," the general said.
However, the same was not always
true Of the Protestant Church,
where men who had no assignment
at the time or who wanted a three
year vacation became chaplains.
Gen. Vaughan said we should not
be concerned about the returning
veteran who probably will differ

The announcement was made

At present there are 1000 Amer
ican and 5000 Filipino MPs on the
islands. The War Department
source said that while not all the
facts are known as to the DISPOSE
ton and use of the American police
units, 1t was assumed that troops
departing for Japan would reduce
the number available to guard in
stallations and prisoners.
Since the Philippines will continue
as a base of operations for the Pa
cific it will be necessary to assure
law and order to safeguard the
base, he declared. The main func-
ton Of the American police will be
to safeguard the American soldiers
and supplies, he said, while Filipino
police would aid in reducing the
