Atom Group Wants Public 
 Asks 'SouI-searching'
 To Drive Away Fears
 And Apathy on Bomb

Washington. D. C.. Aug. 6 - The National Committee on Atomic h. formation, representing TO national organizations including the A.F l., CIO., National League of Women Voters. National Education Associa- ton and the United Council Of Church Women, today called for country wide observance of the first anniversary of the bombing of Hiro- shima. This is no anniversary to celebrate" the committee announc- ed but it should be the occasion for some soul-searching on the part of the American people. After one year of the atomic age we still do not have the bomb under control, and dangerous illusions, such as the feeling that this country can main tain it's headstart in bomb making, are widespread.
 The committee urged a concerted campaign by all instruments of pub lie information and by individuals to get the facts concerning atomic energy straight before the public. Unless We inform ourselves and keep ourselves informed, we will drift into either unreaSoning fear or paralyzing apathy. Our own de- struction will be our fate if We do
 The committee announced that a number of prominent Americans had contributed statements on the Atomic Ages first birthday. Some | of them follow;
 Raymond Swing, news analyst and author: The first year of the atomic age has been far too brief for this country and the rest of the world to grasp the realities of the new era But strides have beer made. The McMahon Bill passed the Senate. The Acheson-Lilientha. report has become official Amer ican policy. Thus we are on the way to civilian control of atomic energy in this country, and inter- national control of it by world au- thority. At best we have only few years in which to make sure that war itself has been effectively abol- ished, as it can be only by limita- ton of national sovereignty and the establishment of a world of law Great as the strides are that al ready have been made, the pace must quicken if the goal is to bt achieved.
 Harold L. Ickes, former Secre. tary of the Interior: The mos fitting celebration of the first ami versary of the atomic age would b. for world wide commitment tha no nation would ever use this in strument of death and obliteratior in any way, whatever might be tn, proVocation. And to signify ou earnest intention in that regard, th United States ought to desist forth with from making any more atomic bombs and make arrangements fo rendering harmless or destroyinl those that NC already have.
 Arthur ii Compton, Nobel physi oist and Chancellor of Washington University, The control of atomi power and it's by-products asSur us of great advances in our futur mode of living. The survival of civ ilization may, however, depend up on avoiding an atomic war, and IS well to remember on the frs

Electricity Via Atom
 Expected in TWo Years

Washington, Aug. G. CUPl-A leading scientist predicted today that atomic power may be running ocean going ships within five years and producing huge amounts ol electricity within two years.
 Dr. Wam A Higinbotham, chair man of the. Federation of American Scientists, said the unimagined secrets now being unfolded through atomic research foretell the great est economic revolution in history.
 He said scientists look upon to- morrow-the. anniversary of the Hiroshima A-bombing-as the "un- happy birthday of the atomic age because the public still thinks Of atomic energy primarily as a weapon
 They do not realize that atomic medicine has already saved tens of thousands of lives, that in five years atomic power may be pro- polling ships, and that in perhaps two years atomic fuels will be pro ducing electric power at Oak Ridge, Tenn, Higbotham said.
 He said the atom produced cleo tric energy at Oak Ridge-home ot the atom bomb-would not be mere ly an experimental sample, but a

vast amount rivaling the output Of a huge dam.
 Higinbotham pointed out at the radioactive lsotopes such as the ones which the Oak Ridge labora- tories turned over to civilian in stitutions last week already have proved their worth in medicine.
 Minute quantities Of isotopes for merly were manufactured with cyclotrons, but now they can be produced more cheaply and in much greater quantities.
 Atomic medicine. Higinbotham said, has produced miraculous cures, while it's possibilities for the future are unlimited.

Washington, Aug. 6-In the year since the atom bomb exploded over Hiroshima, scientists discovered that they could-and sflould-be lobbyists.
 From Nobel Prize winners down to the newest recruits from a col lege laboratory, they took a little time off from doing something about the atom to doing something about the world.

Veterans Administration To Exercise
Tighter Controls Over
Vets On The Job Training Program

PHOENIX, Aug. 22-Recent legis-

ministratio.l to exercise tighter con-
trolls over the on-the-job training
program under the Servicemen' S
Readjustmeno Act (GI BilD. Will

Arizona Regional Office at Phoenix.
stated today This legislation, he
said, was in response to the request
of General Omar N Bradley, VA
Administrator, for authority to curb
growing abuses" in the earn-while-
you-learn program.
The new law prohibits the pay
ment of subsistence allowances to
veterans if those with dependents
are earning more than 5000 a
month, including the government
allowance of 500, or if those without
dependents are earning more than
SITS month, including their al
lowance of sos. The provision ap-
plies to veterans whose wages come
from on-the-job training or from
outside work while they are enrolled
in school. Disabled veterans enroll
ed in training establishments under
the Vocational Rehabilitation Act
public Law 16) are not affected,
Hardaway said.
The bill also permits VA to give
financial assistance to the states for
maintaining supervision over train
ing establishments. Nation wide
standards for training are incorpor-
porated in the law, but the act in
no way infringes on the states basic
authority to control the program.
Explaining the way the new law
will affect veterans in training,
Hardaway said the veteran earning
not more than $110 a month can
receive full subsistence allowance.
If he is making over $110, he can
receive enough of his allowance to

r. Rodriguez
|Cets Prison
Parole

Governor Osborn, on Tuesday
signed a communication to time serv-
ed of the 20-year to life sentence
given 17-year-old Ricardo Rodriguez
in the state penitentiary for his
participation in the killing of Her
man Bender, Patagonia mining
man., last year.
The Arizona board of pardons and
paroles recommended the commu-
tation so it could parole the youth
to Boystown, Neb., authorities where
he will receive schooling and reha-
bilitation under the personal direc-
ton of the Rt. Rev. Msgr. E. j.
Flanagan.
Rev. Walter Hofmann, chairman
of the board, said he had been in
communication with Father F1ana-
gan and that a parole program ac-
|ceptable to the board had been out
lined.
"The board is now convinced, he
said, "that the interests of the state
of Arizona and the interests of the
subject involved can be best served
by the release of this boy to Father
Flanagan"
Convicted at the same time with
Rodriguez was Benito AriaS, who
was given similar sentence. Arias'
age prohibits his admittance to
Boystown and the board took no
action in his case.
It was indicated that the Rev.
John Doran of the Nogales Catholic
church, who originally suggested
the release of Rodriguez to Boys
town, will be asked to take him
there.

Navy DemobiIization Program Ends
On Sept. lst; 3,324,62O Navy, Marine
Personnel Discharged Since W Day

half million people de1nobilized
from the Navy and Marine Corps
from August IA, 1945, to Septem-
ber 1, 1916.
With two minor exceptions the
Navy'S demobilization program has
gone entirely in accordance with
the schedule.
Recently it was announced that
Medical Corps officers who received
all or part of their medical educa-
ton at government expense are re-
uuired to serve "a months on active
duty as commissioned officers. The
active duty requirement for Reserve
Dental Corps officers is to be re-
duced from SO to 30 months on Sep
tember 1. This action in retaining
Medical Corps and Dental Corps
officers beyond September / was
necessitated by critical shortage
in both branches.
In addition to the Medical and
Dental Corps officers, Secretary
Forrestal today announced that all
male hospital corpsmen with less
than Is months active duty service
will be retained beyond September
l because of large numbers of war
casualties remaining in Naval hos
pitals.
Services of Naval Reserve and
inductee hospital corpsmen are
urgently needed to provide care for
more than $4,000 sick and wounded
patients in Naval hospitals. The war
casualties include amputees, para
lytics, blind, deaf, tubercular and
other patients requiring special at
tention and rehabilitation which
the Navy has made every effort to
provide.
If all reserve hospital corpsmen
were to be demobilized by September
l, the release of this trained person
mel would create a most critical Sit
uation and result in the failure to
provide for these patients the ex-
pert care to which they are so richly
entitled.
While it is realized that hardships
may ensue in individual cases the
Navy believes that the overall hu-
needs of the sick and
wounded far outweigh all other con-
siderations.
The approximately 5000 hospital
corpsmen to be retained beyond
will be released from
their duty stations in sufficient
time to reach separation activities
for discharge at the expiration Of
18 months of active duty. The re-
duction in the number of hospital
ized veterans will permit all reserve
corpsmen to be released by March
l, 1947. Approximately 500 will be
released on October / and 500 on
the first of each month thereafter.
Secretary Forrestal also announc-
ed today that under the revised
Marine Corps program, all Marine
inductees and reservists will be
qualified for discharge on October
l, 1916, regardless of length of SER
vice.
