GETTYSBURG, Pa, July g.
President Truman expressed
high hope today for the success
Of the coming general peace con-
ference in dedicating the Nation
anew to the search for eternal
peace in a united world.
Standing of ground hallowed by
the blood of heroes of a country
which found strength and unity
after four years of war and sacrifice,
the President saw hope for similar
unity among nations of the world.
Reading the inscription. Peace,
Eternal in a Nation United" at the
base of the Gettysburg Peace Monu-
ment, Mr.. Truman solemnly told re-
porters that if it were changed to
substitute world for nation" 1t
would be ideal
1t looks very much like we are
going to get peace treaty. he told
reporters who met him here. He
made this comment about his trans
Atlantic telephone conversation yes

Byrnes. They talked few hours

least four men were burned today
in an explosion and fire aboard g
loaded gasoline barge anchored at
the Sun Oil Co. dock in the Della

A spokesman for the company

LAS far as we know there were
only four men aboard the barge
when it caught fire.
The Chester Hospital said it had
admitted four men burned in the
explosion, adding that none ST EN-
to be badly injured"
The Sun company said the fire
was brought under control within
hours and that only slight damage
resulted to its docks where the fire
spread.
A fully loaded $50, 0,0O0-b barrel tank
ship which was near the barge was
moved so quickly from the scene
that hawsers and docks were ripped

BY the kssocioied Prsss

SEATTLE. July 6.-An ex-soldier
has appealed to Federal Court to
force immigration officials to re-
lease, and not deport to Japan, the
alien bride he married at sea while
returning from the Army of oc-
cupation.
John A. Bouiss, Portland, Greg,
explained his bride was born in
Japan of a German father and
japanese mother. She previously
had Swedish husband. She is
the former Helene Emile Wilson.
Mr.. Bouiss petitioned for a writ
of habeas corpus for her release
from detention here. She has been
held for two months. The Board Of
immigration Appeals ruled after
her arrival with Mr.. Bouiss that
she is ineligible for citizenship.
John P. Boyd, chief Of the immi-
grafton adjudication division here,
said the ruling was oased on the
fact she is half japanese He
warned that japanese wives o. any
other returning servicemen will face
the same situation.

Atomic Rays Filled
Air for Many Miles
Around Bomb Cloud
Circling Plane Received
First Warning; Hair
Of Mice Turned Color
By Howard w. BIokesIee
Axsofioted presx S,;enr. Writor

ABOARD U. S. S. APPALACH-
IAN, July 6.-An invisible form
of death filled the air for many
miles around and far outside of
the great mushroom cloud which
arose from the Bikini atomic
bomb.
What happened is still mystery
One of the planes circling the cloud
at long distance got the first warn
ing of the invisible death when its
Geiger counter, which registers the
presence of X-rays and other rays,
Unexpectedly began to record a
dangerous amount of radiation.
The pilot. thinking he had run
into current of invisible radio
active particles that had eddied far
outside the mushroom, turned the
plane in an escape direction But
the warning counter continued to
show rays whichever way he turned
and whether he went up or down.
At times the Geiger counter dial
swung way over into the danger
range. 1t was many minutes before
the plane ran out of and away from
the unseen menace.
Since the crew was exposed to an
unknown amount of radiation,
members were evacuated to the
mainland for observation. Expos
ureS such as this adventure do not
necessarily mean serious injury to
the men. Although such rays can be
fatal, they are not usually very
harmful unless persons are con-
tlnuously exposed for some time.
This invisible menace was encoun-
tered above 10000 feet altitude. 1t
might have been a rain or particles
from higher up, spilled out and car
ried by the wind. 1t might conceiv-
ably have been X-rays from the
atomic cloud This latter appears
improbable because X-rays usually
do not 60 so far in such great
strength.
Mice that flew into the cloud are
changing color. White mice have
become brown. This color change is
surprise. Hair usually turns white
or gray when exposed to radioactive
rays.
These mice were in drones that
either passed through the atomic
cloud or skinned into and around
its edges.
All the drones brought back evil
dences of terrible radioactiyitv in or
near the cloud. This invisible ray
attack was the worst at about $4,000
feet altitude
Wherever there was oil on the
plane surfaces, radioactive particles

Truman, at Gettysburg, Sees
Hope for Unity of Nations

He gave the newsmen an account
of the battles of Gettysburg and
Of Pickett's famous charge and said

Big Grain Loss Feared
Under Threats Of Rain
And Boxcar SHORTAGE
Wheat Piled in Fields
As Kansas Elevators

BY the Associoied Press

HAYS, Kans., July 6.-Thou-
sands OF bushels of wheat lay
piled on the ground throughout
the grain belt today as farmers
cast worried looks skyward, fear
full the rains would come before
the boxcars.
With the harvest 80 per cent COM
pleted, the boxcar shortage grows
more critical each day. Country
elevators have been full for days
and at many points operators are
closing them. AS result the winter
wheat crop is being dumped on the
ground
Farmers in Western Kansas, where
crop land may stretch mile in each
direction, are facing a 2 to per
cent loss from outside storage if it
stays dry. But if rain comes before
the cars take the wheat to Eastern
terminals, grain men say the loss
may be as much as Is per cent.
100000 Bushels Dumped.
In Wallace County, along the Col
orado border, 100000 bushels have
been dumped in the open around
elevators. in the church yard and on
public school grounds.
Wheat was reported spelling on
the ground at Winona, Kans., by
Charles H. Ward, who telegraphed
the Kansas Governor, Andrew
Schoeppel:
What the reason no wheat cars
mere? We raise more wheat to the
square inch than anywhere in the
State and no cars to load wheat.
Wheat is rotting on the ground"
Cars Reported Diverted.
At Kansas City, Mo, J. w. Hollo-
way, executive secretary of the
Trans Missouri Kansas Shippers
Board, gave the answer: The win
ter wheat harvest began without any
boxcar bank"
Grain cars, he said, were to have
been diverted from the East and
Southeast but the harvest ran ahead
on into the greatest demand for
lielSHt cars IN history.
The railroads have only 100000
freight cars and loadings are run

ed. There isn't a railroad, in our
area that has on the ground enough
cars to handle its share of the har-
vest"
