Hiroshimo A-Bombine Saved
japanese Lives Truman Says

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, Mar.
IA (P.-Former President Harry
S. Truman today told the peo-
pie Of Hiroshima that dropping
the atomic bomb on their city
saved many thousands of Jap
anese lives.
Mr.. Truman made his COM
ment in a letter to the City
Council Of Hiroshima which had
criticized him for recent state
mentS concerning the bombing
Of their city and a further as
sertion that hydrogen bombs
would be put to use if necessary
in an emergency.
The former President made
public his letter to Tsukasa
Nitoguri, head of the council,
at a press conference.
"There have been so many
foolish statements made in re-
gard to the bombing of Hirosh-
ina and Nagasaki that I
thought it best to read you my
letter to the City Council of
Hiroshima" he said.
Resolution Passed
That council had passed a
resolution last February 10
which said, I'VE do hereby pro-
test against your statement in
deep indignation shared by our
citizens and declared that in
the name of humanity and
peace we appeal to the wisdom
of the United States and her
citizens and to their inner voice
for peace that said statement
be retracted and that they full
fill their obligation for the cause
Of world peace.
"The citizens of Hiroshima
held that no nation of the world
should ever be permitted to re-
peat the error of using nuclear
weapons on any poole anywhere
whatever the reason"
Mr.. Truman's letter said,
When Japan surrendered the
military estimated at least a
quarter of a million of the in
vasion forces against Japan and

meeting for the fun Of it, why don't the candidates try
coming up with something that could work and there
fore be of benefit to the Islands? That is a real challenge,
and it no doubt takes foresight and stamina to meet it,
AT N RATE, there IS need for economic de-
.%Velopment. We are waiting anxiously to see what will
be said, if anything, about this serious problem and
whether or not the man who is one day to sit in the hon
.ored seat of the Senate has given any thought to it.
Mr.. CANDIDATE, we are waiting.

ATTENTION TO THE ECONOMIC PICTURE

~ ~ Ely - ~ III
THE FIRST OF FIVE planks that should be in every
body's platform, as commented upon earlier in these
columns, is the development of the economic condition
in these Islands. Certainly, no candidate would want to
present himself to the public and ask that he be consid-
cred as a serious contender for public Office without
coming forth with something concrete on the economic
situation.
WHILE THERE many favorable spots in the
economy, the truth Of the matter is that not only is
there room for Improvement, but a need to look to the
future. These Islands once had a population double
what we now have. Great numbers of our people have
gone off to the United States, and a native who lived
here, for example, 20 years ago, and return, would at
first sight think Of his surroundings as an extension OF
Puerto Rico. Not that this is necessarily adverse, ex-
cept that the reason for it is worth noting and probing
into. The vacumm created by the exodus OF vast NUM-
bers is the reason for the replacement by others.
WE NEED INDUSTRIES. We need to produce
more. We need to sell goods and services in such guam
titles as to provide a good standard of living for our peo-
pie. True, the Government provided employment for a
large percentage Of the population, yet no sound econo-
my can be based entirely, or at least SO heavily, upon
Government employment.
WITH THE LACK Of natural resources such as oil,
coal, and the like, there is little that can be developed
in the line of raw materials. Puerto Rico solved it's prob
lem BY inducing American industry to invest and set up
production centers. All Of this through a tax-free ad-
vantage. While these Islands could not possibly hope to
follow directly because of the great disparity in pOpu-
Iation, the basic ideas are sound and could perhaps be
tailored to suit our needs.
THE POLITICIANS should be addressing them
selves to d study Of ideas to present to the people. In
stead Of attacking, and perhaps thereby amusing q mass

He arranged to meet Monday
with reporters who wanted to
know whether this measure,
admittedly making more diff
ficult the task Of cameramen
and writers assigned to cover
Cape Canaveral activities. was
not also a menance to public
safety.
Both the Atlas and the Nava-

either in the form Of red ball
signals or otherwise. II was
the first time that this had
been the case.
Gen. Yates said, in a pre-
pared release. that "the RED
balls we're lowered in order to

persons to the fact that a clas-
sified test launching was i'm
minent."
The launching OF two huge
vehicles in one day was also
something new for Cape Canav-
eral. The Atlas is 70 feet long.
and the Navajo with its booster
rockets was only a few feet
shorter.
The Navajo was much easier
to observe than was the Atlas
because Of its lower speed
about twice the speed Of sound,
or up to l.500 miles an hour,
compared with Is times the
speed Of sound or 10000 to H.
400 miles an hour for the Atlas.
Development OF the Navajo
has been discontinued because
OF the faster weapons that have
come along since.

McElroy said the new missile
will be smaller. lighter and
even more mobile" than the
Redstone. which is about so
feet long and has O range Of
about 200 miles.
The Redstone was developed
under the supervision Of DR..
Wernher Won Braun. developer
OF the German w Rocket Of
World War II. and is being
produced by Chrysler Corp.
Defense Department officials
said the multimillion dollar
chrysler contract will be car
ried out without a cutback.
Launching Is Complicated
The Redstone, developed at
the Army's Ballistic Missile
Center at Huntsville. Ala,
requires fairly complicated
launching equipment. but the
Army has contended il could be
as mobile as some types Of the
heaviest conventional artillery
Liquid fuels have been used
in the earlier phases Of ballistic
missile development because OF
their quick thrust and the ac-
curacy Of controlling fuel
supply.
The Navy favored a solid fuel
for the Polaris 1900 mile-range
ballistic missile because it is
considered safer to handle
aboard submarines and ships.
Another claim advanced by
solid fuel advocates Is that It
eliminates q lot Of intricate
plumbing in the missile.

FLINDERS Hits Criticism
Of U. S. Space Program
Continued From First PAGE

Secretary McElroy disclosed
plans for the new space agency.
He said the ARPA would oper-
ate under a single manager
and would not be controlled
by any one service.
The Air Force then an
nounced establish nent Of It's
own directorate 4 astronau-
tics. That plan Immediately
was Cancelled at the direction
Of the Defense Department,
which called the Air Fore ac-
ton premature.
Duplication Seen
Gen. Schriever put his opin-
ion Of the ARPA in these words:
II believe that any program
to develop a separate astonau-
tics agency would result in du-
plication Of capabilities already
existing in the Air Force baIlis-
tic missiles programs, and at a
cost in funds and time similar
to that already expended on
these programs"
The general urged initiating
projects now II the Nation is TO
lead in space technology in
what he called the prime"
l965-70 period.
Many far-reaching potential
capabilities are apparent as we
look more into the future and
develop the possibilities of Their
monuclear propulsion and pay
loads up TO hundreds of tons, I"
he said.
Earlier in the week. the pre-
paredness subcommittee had
heard two other generals voice
strong criticism of defense pol
icies.

chief of Army research and de-
velopment. said he is retiring
March 81 because he contended
the Army is deteriorating rap
idly and II can't get anything
done about it. He said that for
the past four years Army
strength and appropriations
have been whitfield down.
Calls Funds insufficient
And Gen. Thomas D. White,
Air Force Chief of staff. told
the subcommittee Mr.. Eisen-
hover had not asked enough
money for a planned stepup in
work on 5.000-mile range in

Siles.

day turned aside questions as
to whether they thought a ma
