ATTLEE SETUP
IS MAPPING
5 YEAR PLAN
By UNITED PRESS
Britain's new labor govern-
ment is ready to start mapping
plans for its first year of action.
Prime Minister Attlee and his
full cabinet meet tomorrow to
begin drawing up the first new
legislation of its five-year plan.
This legislation is expected to
include a number of drastic
changes for Britain.
The first two changes Attlee
and his cabinet probably will
plan for are to put all British
coal mines under national own-
ership and to bring the Bank of
England under public ownership.
Still another-and a very vital
issue-that the labor party is
expected to tackle very soon is
the India problem. Sir Stafford
Cripps - president of the board
of trade-has implied that the
Laborites will settle India's fu-
ture within the next 30 days.
Cripps says the time has passed
for any interim arrangement for
India and hints that Attlee's par-
ty will try to achieve some per-
manent solution.
Problems related to Egypt
also may come before the la-
bor party soon. A roundabout
report from the Swiss radio
says Prime Minister Pasha
will demand full independen-
ce for Egypt when the sen-
ate opens Monday.
As Britain's cabinet buckles
down to work, the railway strike
in England has been halted tem-
porarily. Railway workers in
Liverpool are the only ones
who have extended their Sunday
strike.
In Paris - Marshal Henri Pe-
tain's treason trial is a little
quieter today as a long proces-
sion of minor witnesses start
testimony in defense of the aged
leader. General Charles Lacaille
- former chief of staff in Indo-
China - opened today's session
with testimony that France had
only 50 planes and no tanks in
Indo-China for its defense.
Lacaille - discussing the de-
fense of Indo-China when it fell
victim to Japanese aggression-
asked what that had to do with
Petain. Then Petain's lawyer
jumped up and protested-say-
ing-"for a week we listened to
politicians attacking Petain, and
we-have the right to refute their
arguments."
The judge let Lacaille con
tinue.

Washington Ban On
Republican Veterans
Causing Friction A
touchy question concerning vet-
erans and politics is causing a
lot of friction in the state of
Washington.
Herbert Brownell, Jr., nation-
al Republican chairman, told re-
publican precinct committeemen
from western Washington that
the Democratic party - is at-
tempting to play politics with
veterans benefits.
Brownell protests with consid-
erable vigor the attitude of Gov-
ernor Mon Wallgren who is quot-
ed as saying that his democratic
state of Washington administra-
tion will not give state jobs to
returning servicemen who are
active republicans.
News articles quoted Wallgren
as saying - "of course we aren't
going to hire active republicans.
Let them wait for the republi-
cans to get back in."
Brownell says Wallgren's1
assertion is political discrim-
ination against veterans, con.
trary to what our boys are
fighting for.
Says Brownell "I would be bit-
terly disappointed if any Repub-
lican governor took such a posi-
tion. But 1 Know that such a
thing could never happen with
them."
Seattle American Legion offi-
cials also object to Walgren's
attitude. They say every veter-
an should have the same con-
sideration for state jobs regard-
less of his politics and they have
sent news articles quoting the
Washington governor to the leg-
ion's national headquarters.
The veterans of foreign wars
are ging to bat for the men in
the navy. The VFW says the per-
sonnel of the Navy, Marines and
Coast Guqrd should be eligible
for discharge on the same basis
that army officers and enlisted
men are.
The VFW asks the Navy to
liberalize its present discharge
plan which, they say only con-
fuses and disheartens the naval
forces in the Pacific. As far as
the veterans of Foreign wars can
see, the Navy's recently an-
nounced discharge, plans are de-
signed solely to release several
thousand surplus, over-age re-
serve officers.
However, the army's dis-
charge system also is being
severely criticized. Senator
Edwin Johnson of Colorado
wants the war department to
review its manpower re-
quirements at once and he
asks for a brutally frank re-
port.
Senator Johnson wrote to Sec-
- rotary of War Stimson saying
that the time is past for what
he called mumble-jumble ans-
wers and he thinks the country
and congress have the right to
know why an army of 7,000,000
men is needed.
Says Johnson -- Your decis-
ion means millions of bitter, dis-
contented men milling around
the United States in uniform
e during the next 18 months."
e Johnson adds that certainly

s strongest army that America can

Greatest Scientific
Gamble In History
Won Says TrumanBy UNITED PRESS
. The United States has opened
a new and revolutionary kind
of warfare against the Japan-
ese.
President Truman announces
that an atomic bomb has been
used against Japan for the first
time.
A statement issued at the
White House discloses that an
American airplane -presumably
a Superfortress - dropped one
of the new atomic bombs on
Hiroshima, an Important Jap ar-
my base, sometime yesterday.
The president's announcement
said:
"That bomb had more power
than 20,000 tons of TNT. It had
more than 2,000 times the blast
power of the British "grand
slam" which is the largest bomb
ever used in the history of war-
fare."
The new bomb - thetpresident
said - opens what he termed "a
new and evolutionary increase
in destruction" to supplement
the growing power ofsthe United
States against Japan. He added:
"It is a harnessing of the
basic power of the universe.
The force from which the
sun draws its power -has
been loosed against those
who brought war to the Far
East."
President Truman announced
that the new bomb now is in
production. And he added the
grim warning to Japan that even
more powerful forms are under
development.
Pointing up the fearful poten
cy of the new atomic bomb, the
president said he will recom-
mend that congress consider the
establishment of an appropriate
commission to control produc-
tion and use of atomic power
within the United States. He add-
ed:
"I shall give further considera-
tion and make further recom-
mendations to the congress as to
how atomic power cm become
powerful and forceful influence
toward the maintenance of
world peace."
Today's announcement takes
the lid off perhaps the deepest,
darkest secret of the war- the
American and British effort to
find a way to harness and re-
lease atomic energy before the
Germans succeeded in doing so.
The "battle of the laboratories"
held fateful risks. The stakes
were high.
Prime Minister Churchill and
the late President Roosevelt
agreed that the research should
be carried on in the United Stat-
es because Britain was exposed
to constant air attack and still
was threatened with invasion.
Mr. Truman disclosed that we
now have two great plants and
many lesser works devoted to
the production of atomic power.
He said employment during peak
construction numbered 125,000.
And more than 65,000 individuals
now are engaged in operating
the plants. The atomic produc-
tion testers are at Oak Ridge,
near Knoxville, Tenn.; at Rich-
land, near Pasco, Washington;
and near Santa Fe, N. M.
President Truman said:
"We have spent $2,000,000,000
on the greatest scientific gamble
in history-and won."
Mr. Truman gave no de-
tails on the effect of yester-
day's first atomic bomb on
its Japanese target. But he
said the United States now
'is prepared - "to obliterate
naore rapidly and completely
every productive enterprise
the Japanese hale above.
ground in any city.". .. ....
o Few persons have been aware
of what they have been produc-
ing.
Of the thousands working on
the bomb neither newspaper nor
radio has been allowed even to
mention, atomic power under
censorship. But now that the
bomb has been officially launch-
ed against the enemy, some de-
tails can be told.
Secretary of War Stimson re-
veals that Uranium is the essen-,
tial ore in the production of the
bombs. He adds that steps have
been taken and will continue to
be taken to insure adequate sup-
plies of the mineral. Stimsoni
adds:
"We are convinced that Japan
will not be in a position to use an
atomic bomb in this war."
The Secretary of War has a
great deal of praise for American
scientists who developed this
weapon. He says:
"Nowhere else in the world
has science performed so success-
fully in time of war."
Three years ago, the Oak
Bridge plant was a sleepy
farming area dotted by Oak
and Pine trees. Today, it is
the fifth largest city in Ten-
nessee. During those years,
even the name Oak Ridge
was camouflaged under the
name Manhattan Engineers
district. Many thousands ofworkers were not told the
nature of the project they
were working on. Each work-
er knew only his job and had
not the lightest idea how
his part fitted Into the whole.
A few key men knew the secret
and they kept it - probably bet-
ter than any secret has been kept
in this war. Those workers who
guessed the secret or heard rum-
ors about the atomic bomb were
careful not to mention it.
Not only did most of the work-
ers not know what they were
producing, but the vast majority
could not be sure they were ac-
tually producing anything. They
saw huge quantities of material
going, into the plant but nothing
coming out. This created an at-
mosphere of unreality, in which
giant plants operated feverishly
day and night to produce nothing
that could be seen or touched.
To maintain secrecy until the
first bomb was dropped most of
the scientists and skilled worke-
rs lived in the wild mountain
area which makes up Oak Rridge,
remote from all visitors - com-
pletely isolated. Army planes cir-
cled the reservation, driving off
all planes. The only way Knox-
ville people new about how
many people were in the secret
zone was from the number of
newspapers demanded every day.
United Press war analyst
Ralph Heinzen said he learn-
ed a very little about the
project when he flew over
one edge of the reservation in
an army bomber. Heinzen
says everything about it
smacks of the impossible. It
exceeds in-wonder anythrg
Jules Verne ever conceived.
It has been revealed that more
than $1,000,000,000 has been
spent on the Oak Ridge project
alone.
Stimson says an improved
bomb will be produced shortly-
one even umo - , He'=e.
The United States is now- pre-
pared, says President Truman to
wipe out more rapidly and more
completely every productive en-
terprise the Japanese have above
ground in any city. He said, the

tum to Japan to spare the Japan-
