COMMISSIONERS
REJECT Pulley
New Clauses Found In
Insurance Contract, kea-
son For Rejection

Two matters on the Bluetnenthal
airport came. before the county
commissioners yesterday at their
weekly meeting.
One was the rejection of the Aero
Insurance Underwriters policy
covering liability to persons VINO
might visit at the airport and the
other was permission for the es-
tablishment of CT flight training
school.
The insurance policy was re-
jected after commissioners said
they found clauses in the policy
not in the one carried by the
county last year.
Principal new clauses, they re-
lated, YER ones excepting the
apron space at the field upon
which passengers might alight, the
snack bar area in the terminal
building and the office space in
the same structure.
Under the new policy the COM
pany would not assume any liza
bility for injuries, accidents or
the like that might occur in those
locations.
The policy calls for bodily in
jury liability of $500 0 fo- each
person and $4,000 for each acct
dent with property damage up to
l $1,000 for each mishap.
J. D. McMeekin, present op-
orator of the Wilmington Air
Service. Inc, at the airport, re-
ceived permission from the COM
missioners to make J. A. Rehder
and C. B. Render, Jr., partners
in the operation of a flight school
to be known as the Atlantic School
of Aviation, Inc.
The school will use present
buildings, base planes at the field
and pay additional base operators
fees.
Motion to allow operation Of the
new school was made by Commits
sioner Harry Gardner.

paper, decribes his visit to the
blasted area in a new light.
1.-THE bomb hadn't burst over
Nagasaki as l had previously be-
lieved, but over a suburb called
Urakami. The main and large
part of Nagasaki, as I saw it,
lies untouched except for the Nit
subishi steel f~actorIes."
Piner made the trip to the area
with 48 men on a special service
Red Cross tour, and they were
conducted about the area by an
Army officer and two japanese
guide, he explained.
"Most of the G.1.'s on the trip
failed to be impressed by the de-
v~astation of the place. he says.
They seemed to place more inn
portance On the fact that other
cities in Japan hit harder
and therefore failed to give much
attention to Nagasaki."

explosion, which killed 1000 stu

Its outer walls were intact, its
inside walls broken, cracked, its
many flights OF stairs like hills,
its elevator shaft blown out, nc
doors, windows, its floors covered
with plaster and debris.
There were no other structures
in this area LETT standing. The sur
rounding hillsides presented a
grotesque scene with peculiar
rock formations looking like tomb
stones. Dead, gnarled trees cast
theii finger-like shadows over the
hillside and area adding to the
ghostly appearance.
"Tramping through the rubble,
we came upon the destroyed
Urakami Catholic church which
rad been the largest in Japan.
From there we went to the arrow

wasted for blocks. The --latest
part, though has been rebuilt with
small wooden shacks to house ia

Baltimore Area Invaded
By 100 Boys in Gang Feud
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. A gang of
about 100 teen-age boys invaded
the northeastern section of Balti-
more in jeeps, trucks and automo-
biles last night TO keep free
for-all fight rendezvous with a rival
gang, police reported, but the fight
never materialized.
Police said the invading youths,
all from the Highlandtown section
and wearing handkerchiefs around
their arms, alighted from the vehi-
cles and scattered with shouts of
"Go get them boys!" with the i'm
mediate result that the Milton
street neighborhood was quickly
cleared of neighborhood youths by
their anxious parents.
Eight of the invaders were ar
rested for disorderly conduct, which
Northeastern District police de-
scribed as "bothering pedestrians
and automobile drivers"
Police and witnesses ascribed the
incident to the presence of men,
bers of both groups at New Year
eve party, where insulting remarks
were passed about the respective
neighborhoods.
