tell them the import of the Weapon.
They need none now. They know
from personal experience.
Mayor Shinso Hamai is one of the
bombs lucky victims; he recovered
from radiation sickness. AS assistant
mayor two years ago, he was inside
the four-story concrete municipal
building, one of the few which sur
vived the blast.
Rebuilding Slow
Under his guidance reconstruction
has proceeded - but slowly. Two
years of toll have resulted in only
10000 rebuilt homes and shops. They
are tiny, makeshift, implanted struc-
lures. Hiroshima has been given no
special priority On scarce materials.
The city population has increased
from 100000 after the bomb blast to
more than 100000. Children attend
school in temporary buildings. Water,
telephone and electricity have been
restored.
None of the atomic casualties re-
mains in Hiroshima hospitals. Despite
wild rumors and speculation, there is
nc trace of freak human, animal OF
vegetable development as a result of
the bombing.
No Resentment
The people of Hiroshima, says their
mayor, show no resentment toward
thousands of Allied scientists and
visitors who have focked to their
city since the holocaust. They have
an awareness, however, of their role
in history as hapless victims of mans
first atomic bomb and they have a
terrible conviction that another wal
would blot out civilization.
Citizens have started drives for a
monument at the epicenter of the
bomb blast and for a library on
atomic energy. They plan a museum
for preservation of some of the fright
full atomic souvenirs.
Next Tuesday the city will hold a
three-day peace festival" on the
second ann versary of their agony.
Said Mayor Hamai in his proclama-
ton:
'This epoch-making weapon of the
century has taught us the great les
son that mankind must foresake war
forever"

Key to EUrope's Fate

IVY ~ VI
The United States made two moves
this week to contribute directly to
Europe's recovery under the Marshall
plan by squirting German coal pro-
duction, which is the key to the
whole continents heavy industrial re-
covery program.
One was to complete preparation in
Washington for a series of Anglo
American coal talks about the Ruhr.
Germany and Britain-in the order
named-are by far Europe's most i'm
portant coal producing countries.
In Difference to French protests
that German industry must not be
revived to the point where it again
could constitute a threat to peace,
the U. S. State Department has
agreed that the talks be limited to
boosting Ruhr coal production. France
said it would welcome mining of
more German coal but not the use
of it for making German steel in
Germany for other nations.
The other move is a food bonus
plan for Ruhr miners, instituted by
American and British occupation
authorities as an incentive to boost
production.
Beginning this week, tonnage quo
tas have been set in each mine and
if miners attain that goal within the
next II weeks, each will receive a
"1O-in-one" ration package from
U. S. Army stocks-the equivalent of
40 1000 ca1ories.
In addition, men in the mine boost
ing it's production highest over the
quota will receive an additional
100000 calories.

China
Quarrel

A short-lived strike by Shanghai
police, resulting from a pitched gun
battle with gendarmes in which ever
persons were slain, ended this week
under provisions of Clina's new
total mobilization" order banning
strikes.
City officials said six policemen
and a Chinese bystander were killed
in the clash at a downtown movie
theater. Uniformed police walked off
their jobs in protest, leaving the city
Of 100000 virtually without pro-
lection.
The gun fight developed from q
dispute at a theater when three
Chinese, with two tickets among
them, were told by an usher only
two could enter.
Uniformed police arrived to
straighten out the dispute and a few
moments later q detail of plain
clothes gendarmes. The argument
over jurisdiction between police and
gendarmes soon overshadoWed the
original dispute. 1t was eliminated,
authorities said, when the gendarmes
opened fire, killing six policemen on
the spot.
Police Commissioner Schodern Yu
said a full report of the gun battle
would be sent to Marking. It was
expected Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek would look into the matter
personally.

cars
Gripping Shortages

The automobile industry, n of
Americas big mass production lines,
is still struggling with supply short
ages. Prospects for an early rise in
passenger car output look anything
but bright.
Thus far this year the nations
manufacturers have produced ap-
proximately 1,955,000 passenger cars
and 100000 trucks. Truck production
has been far above normal levels,
because trucks require considerably
less sheet steel than passenger We
hicles.
Industry experts predict completion
of about 100000 passenger cars and
and not many more than 100000
trucks by the end of the year. This
falls far short of the 100000 pas
senger vehicle goal set for 1947.
This volume of production will
make scarcely a dent in the accumu-
lation of untitled new a orders and
the day of prompt delivery from
dealer sales rooms still will be in the
indefinite future,

,HE short, swarthy residents of
Hiroshima will stand for one min
ute in silence Wednesday commem-
Grating an historic moment two year
ago when they became the first
guinea pigs of mans most potent
weapon.
1t was 8:14 AM. on August 6,
l945, when a few Hiroshima resi-
dents saw an American plane high
in the sky. They noted, with signs
of relief, that it was only a single
plane, perhaps on a reconnaissance
mission for the fire-bomb fleets
which had put huge segments of
Tokyo and other industrial centers to
the torch.
Hiroshima, they knew from Ameri-
can pamphlets, was IN the list of
targets marked for destruction. The
only thing they did not know was
the timetable.
One plane might be an evil har-
binger of raids to come but in their
minds it did not hold the terror of
300 laundering BIOS.
Few saw that high-fying plane
drop a speck into the sky, then wheel
sharply away. But seconds later, a
binding flash of light brought death
and destruction, SURPRISING anything
that mankind had ever known. That
single soaring bomb-burst all but
wiped out their city and left 1880
dead and 1888 missing.

A Riotous Session
Probably few sessions have been
watched more closely by the people,
for there were widespread predic-
tons at the start that it would be a
duel between the White House and
the first Republican-controlled Con-
gress in Ii years.
Despite some bitter fights, vital
work was done. While dissension de-
veloped on domestic issues, it was
notably lacking on foreign policy.
Congress bucked the President
tooth-and-nail on tax and labor legis-
lation, running into vetoes each time.
It overrode a veto to make the Taft
Hartley labor bill the law of the
land.
Both the tax and labor issues will
become primary planks in the 194a
election campaign.
Congress approved the Presidents
$500, 900, 900 aid to Greece and Turkey
and it authorized 1892, 00O, 900 of his
request for $3.50, O00, 1000 for relief to
needy nations after the end of
UNRRA. But Congress didn't act on
his request for standardization of
arms in the western hemisphere or
the entry of 100000 war refugees
into this country.
It also laid aside for future con-
sideration universal military train
ing, minimum wage boosts, health
insurance, broadening Of Social Sc
