A-Bomb Killed 100000,
Hiroshima Mayor Says
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The
atomic bombing of Hiroshima on
August 6, 1945, took 100000 to
100000 lives. including those Of
10000 troops, says the mayor OF
the japanese city.
Mayor Shirnzo Hamai was in
terviewed yesterday by Norman
Cousins, editor of the Saturday
Review of Literature. The inter-
view was carried by the American
Broadcasting Co.
The mayor said he based his
estimate on the number of ration
cards he issued before and after
the explosion. Mayor Hamai was
the city's ration commissioner
during the war.
Mayor Hamai's figure is higher
than any previously used by jap
anese or American sources.
The United States Strategic
Bombing Survey reported on June
20, 1916, that the most plausible
estimate of dead was 10000 to
10000, with an equal number in
jured. Supreme Allied Headquar-
ters at Tokyo on February 3, 1916.
estimated $4,000 dead and $4,000
missing.
The mayors figures on the sol.
dier dead are new. He docu-
mented his estimate by enumerat-
ing the troop organizations in

the bill would give the respective
States 621a per cent of the royal
ties received from leases for oil
or gas development within the
marginal belt. Under the min
eral leasing act, States receive only
371a per cent of royalties received
from oil developments on Govern
ment-owned lands within the
States, he noted.
Calling attention to the Su-
preme Court decision in June.
1947, holding that paramount
rights to said marginal lands are
vested in the Federal Government.
Mr.. Perlman said there is serious
question as to the propriety" OF
several States which since that
time have been collecting pay
ments for leases they issued for
development of those areas.
He said he hoped that it would
not be necessary for the Justice
Department to bring suit against
any other States as it recently did
in the case of Louisiana and Texas
in an effort to determine whers
title Is vested.

Vaughan called him to the White

permit for scarce materials was
issued for work at the Tanforan

later Gen. Vaughan came to his
Office, accompanied by the presi-
dent of the race track, and asked
him to please hurry" Mr.. Woods

Herbert C.. Hathorn, formerly OF

titled that Gen. Vaughan tried to
get the department to authorize
more molasses for the Allied Mo-
lasses Co. of Perth Amboy, N. J..
Mr.. Hathorn said this company
had been a fragrant and willful'
violator of a rationing order. He
said Gen. Vaughan was rough"
on him and made it clear he could
get Mr.. Hathorn's job. But he
said Gen. Vaughan's request was
turned down.
Mr.. Hathorn and another Ag-

recollection he has never asked
Gen. Vaughan to do anything for
him or his friends more important
than getting tickets to the Army
Notre Dame football game.
With no hearing booked fer to-
day, committee members had time
to study Mr.. Hunts 17-page affi-
davit and decide whether to in
clude 1t in the record Of the hear
ings.
In the afidavit Mr.. Hunt said
it seemed to him the investiga-
ton has turned up conclusive
evidence of the absence Of any
improper influence" on his part.
Many Questions to Ask.
Senator Mundt called the affi-
davit an inconclusive document
and said he would have many
questions to ask Mr.. Hunt about
it. particularly regarding his re-
lations with Gen. Vaughan.
Senator Smith urged that the
committee recess, rather than
halt the inquiry. in order to call
Mr.. Hunt later.
Both Senator'S Smith and Mundt
also want to hold open the in
quiry for the later appearance OF

8. The episode of Gen. Watt.
Mai. Gen. Alden Watt, chief
of the Army Chemical Corps (but
now under suspension), testified
that he went to Mr.. Hunts Office
last spring and there prepared a
memo, at the request Of Gen,
Vaughan, concerning eight other
officers who might be considered
for Gen. Waits job. These officers
were criticized in the memo. Gen
Watt said he assumed" Gen

called tidelands. Mr.. Krug ex-
planned. The Federal Govern
ment, he told the subcommittee,
never has claimed title to lands
that are regularly covered and un-
covered by the ebb and flow Of
tides, nor does 1t claim title to
mineral deposits under inland
waterways.
Mr.. Krug urged Congress to
face up" to the immediate need
of developing emergency oil re-
sources in coastal submerged
areas. He said he was confident
a compromise could be worked
out but he insisted that para
mount rights in such deposits
must remain in the Federal Gov
ernment.
No Opposition to Split.
1--WE would not oppose some
system for equitable division of
revenues from those deposits be-
tween the Federal Government
and the States" Mr.. Krug con-
tinued. That is q matter to be
determined by Congress. All our
attempts to get a compromise
with State authorities broke down
when the States tried to get man
agement rights"

States faces no present oil short

try docs not have a reserve
capacity necessary to protect it.
self in event Of emergency" He
added that it would be extremely
dangerous" if the United States
had to depend indefinitely on
emergency oil resources in the
Near East and elsewhere.
Interior Department surveys
Mr.. Krug testified. indicate that
the continental shelves OF the
earth contain more than 1,000,-
000, 100000 barrels of oil. On that
basis, he explained, the shelves
adjacent to the United States and
Alaska should contain approx
mately 100000, ,000, 900 barrels OF
oil.
Can't Afford to Make Gift.
1.-THE people of the United
States" Mr.. Krug concluded.
cannot afford to make a gift OF
these tremendously valuable re-
sources to a few coastal States
and then buy back their own oil to
meet the needs of the Nation for
defense and other governmental
purposes. Instead, the people OF
the United States. acting through
their Government, ought to man
age and conserve these oil reserves
for the economic development and
common defense of the Nation as
a whole"
The two witnesses told the
committee the bills sponsored by
the various Federal agencies would
make adequate provision for the
conservation and development OF
oil and gas and at the same time
be fair to the individual States
under some system of leasing for
the development of such resources
in the submerged areas.
Perlman Criticizes Bill.
Mr.. Perlman protested that the
pending legislation would give the
President no authority to with
draw any Of the submerged coastal
lands in the interest of national
security. He also complained that

Would Increase
Mail Charges

President Truman wants to
boost the cost of mailing news
papers, magazines, circulars and
other printed matter. This will
particularly affect the weekly
field and in most cases will mean
that the cost Of the paper per
year must also be increased.
President Truman told Con-
gresS in his budget message that
second and third class postal
rates are too low and are largely
responsible for the post office
departments big deficit.
Mr.. Truman said that the post
master general will submit spec
lflc recommendations for in
creaSes in mail rates to add
S25O,O0O000 to the post Offices
income in fiscal year 1850.
Due to the high cost of news
print, practically every paper in
this section of the state has in
creased its rates, with the ex-
