 However, the conference yester- day was anicable in the main and both sides agreed to formation of a joint committee charged with re- solving differences before they reach a critical stage.

Tokyo, April 1S--A few minutes after Nagasaki was rocked by the second atomic bombing of Japan, an unsigned, handwritten letter to Japan's leading ruclear physicist floated down on Onura naval base
 The mission of the pencilled note was to urge the Jap scientist to persuade the general staff to sur- render, but he did not receive 1t until early october; by then, the urging was hardly necessary.
 Existence of the letter was re- vealed by the man to whom 1t was addressed-Prof. Ryokichi Sagane of the Imperial University-when he turned the nlissive over to Dr.. wilson Compton of the American Education Mission to Japan. Dr. Compton has taken the letter back to the United States and will give 1t to his brother, Dr. K. T.

 Within the space of three weeks, we have proof-fired one bomb in the American desert, exploded one in Hiroshima, and fired the third this morning.
 We implore you to confirm these facts to your leaders and to do your utmost to stop the destruc- ton and waste of life which can only result in the total annihila- ton of all your cities if continued.

New York (UP) Since Glenn Miiier's death, his orchestra has been carrying on the Miller special brand of music.
 The Glenn Miller orchestra with Tex Beneke have made two new recordings for Vitor Records, which breeze along in the old Miller style. But there is something missing. Per- haps 1t is just the impact of Miller's own handling of the orchestral chores.
 At any rate, "It Couldn't Be True" and I'm Headin' For California" do have most of the old Miller rhythm and as such hit the top notch in new popular recordings Tex Beneke does the singing in pleasing style.

The Flint Federation of Teachers
urged that the Flint Board of Edu-

The teachers also asked for q new
salary schedule for teachers and
other employees and also urged a
city election to abandon the Flint

a boost in the tax rate and addi-
tional revenue for municipal pay
rolls.
The Board of Education, which

vors more money for The mainte-
nance workers but just doesn't
have 1t, asked Mayor Edwin C.
McLogan to make q five-man
