Mayor of Hiroshima
Opposes A-Bomb Use

PARIS, July II P.-The mayor
OF Hiroshima, where the atom
bomb was first used five years
ago, declared yesterday I'VE raise
our voices against" use of the
atom bomb in Korea.
Mayor Shinzo Hamai, mere on a
round-the-world trip with II
other Japanese political, indus
trial and civic leaders, told the
Conservative Paris newspaper LIE
Monde HiroShima's people believe
the A-bomb should never be used
again anywhere in the world.
The citizens of Hiroshima, he
continued, appeal for peace be-
cause they believe another world
war would mean "the end of CIV
ilization."
The mayor said more than 200,-
900 persons were killed by the
atomic bombing of Hiroshima Au-
gust 6, 1945. This is about double
the generally accepted figure
United States Army headquarters
in Tokyo said three years age
that the official death toll caused
by the bomb was 78,150, with SUBJ
sequent radiation deaths boosting
the toll to about 100000. The
wartime population of Hiroshima
was $4,000.

Search Plane
 Crashes In Hunt For Missing C-54

Continued from Page One, left by It. Charles H. Harden pilot of the crashed C-47. With his face broken and bloody, he stopped a truck on the Alaska Highway late Monday after a deS- peration five-mile hike.
 He stopped the truck early in the long sub-Arctic night by sig naling frantically with his flash light.
 Harden is from Elmendorf Field, Anchorage.
 The rescue party is headed by It. Edwin Gulczynski of Camp Carson, Colo.
 Planes circled over the wreck age throughout the night to assure the men that help was on the way. -..
 How seriously three of the men were injured was not known. Harden was unable to tell. Among the two who escaped with shock and minor bruises was Jack BorgeS of the Midnight Sun BroadcaSting Co.,, Anchorage, who was aboard as a civilian observer. Names of the others were not learned, but all were crewmen from Elmendorf field.
 Harden's plane plunged into the trees near the foot of Mount Cari- bou in midmorning while flying low in search of the vanished C-54.
 He waited with the others for several hours, then. set out alone for help. For six hours he strug- gled through waist high snow
