Now Open For Business VAirSIIATCIIERY Ful-O-Pep Feeds And Seeds Poultry Supplies C35 Drcsdvay While President Truman's an nouncement said that one atomic bomb was released, the Imperial communique broadcast by radio Tokyo stated that "the enemy appears to have employed new-type bombs." It described damage as The communique was the first Japanese acknowledgement that Hiroshima had been -subjected to any special form of attack. Earlier Radio Tokyo said a number of B-29s had bombed the city at 8:20 a. m. today and an Osaka broadcast heard by the Federal Communications commission made a matter- of -fact announcement that trains in Hiroshima prefecture had been canceled.

TJ. S. reports said that Hiroshima was engulfed in an "impenetrable cloud of dust and smoke" after the incredible blast and the Japanese may be unable to gauge the amount of explosive used. The communique said vaguely that "details new are under Investigation." Following is the text of the Im perial communique, as transmitted by Dome! and recorded by the Federal Communications commis sion: First, considerable damage was caused In Hiroshima city as a result of an attack made by a small number of B-29s yesterday, Aug. 6.

"Second, the enemv aDnears to have employed bombs In this attack. However, oetsila are now under Investigation. Stimson (Continued From Page One) give it to the rest of the world. This Is not clear from Mr. Truman's words.

He says: It has never been the habit of the scientists of this coun try or "the policy of this government to withhold from the world scientific knowledge. Normally, therefore, everything about the work with atomic energy would be made, public "But under present circumstances lt Is not Intended to divulge the technical processes of production or til the military applications, pend ing further examination of possible methods of protecting us and the rest of the world from the danger of sudden destruction." The President seems to be saying there that it may be a long time before this country, Canada and Great Britain, which worked together on the bomb, will let the rest of the world know its secret. Yet that secret gives the three powers tremendotis advantage, over If the secret were shared world wide, however, the consequences might be catastrophic. At some future time If the world's nations chose up sides and went to war. they'd have In their hands the power to destroy one another and civilization, too.

Elated legislators today forecast that the atomic bomb would shorten the Japanese war and might mark the trail for revolutionary peacetime development of cheap energy. President Truman's announce ment that the world' most destructive missile has been dropped on Japan found members of the Senate military and appropriation committees ready to act on White House bidding as soon as congress reconvenes to October. Mr. Truman suggested congressional establishment of a commission to control the production and use-of the atomic energy which gives 'the bomb its tremendous destructive power.

Ionia county rates as the second largest wheat producer In Michigan. Frank Stout, owner of the Stout elevator, reported his plant as "Just about Jammed full," adding that more than 16,000 bushels were stored In the elevator after processing or handling 40,000 bushels Just previously. Shortage of freight cars in moving the grain, he said, was another factor in the congestion. Laurence Hale of the Hale Mills, reported 50,000 bushels were In storage here and at another mill at Saranac. Shortage of help had slowed milling operations, he stated.

and cessation of further buying or wheat offerings appeared imminent. Elevators at Lyons, Lake Odessa and Clarksvllle were reported to be refusing additional offerings because-of lack of storage and ship ping facilities, and two elevators and a mill at Portland were facing a similar condition. Heavy rains over the week-end in the area had appreciably checked movement of grain from the farmers to the elevators, and millers were hopeful that additional showers and more freight cars would re lieve the 'Tokyo Rose' Is Cited As Yank Morale Builder WASWTNOTON Au 7-(AP)- Tokyo Rpsei seductive-voice Japanese girl propagandist, won a citation from the United States Navy today for "meritorious service contributing greatly to the morale" of American troops In the Pacific As a further tribute to the ability of Tokyo Rose to "bring laughter ana entertainment to our men ana women." the Navy granted her per mission to broadcast "soon" a des cription of Adm.

7-(AP) -Industry is Just beginning to feel the heavy Impact of cutbacks in war contracts, WPB said today. In another statement, the agency predicted sewing machines, vacuum cleaners, washing machines' and electric Irons will begin reaching retail outlets the fall "In small quantities." And alarm clocks should be fairly plentiful by then. BUt, Frederick M. Mitchell, di rector of WPB's consumers durable goods division, cautioned that volume production of these and other items consumers long have found difficult or impossible to buy cannot be. reached until the spring or summer of 1946.

Even then, Mitchell said, produc tion will not-be large enough to meet Immediately the pent-up demand. War production cutbacks reported to the WPB production re-adjustment committee from 'April 1 to July 28, show an over-all reduction of about $2,000,000,000 for the four months. By contrast, August sched ules have been reduced by Total 15 Bfilioa Cuts reviewed by the committee. including those made In April before the final collapse of Germany, total about $15,000,000,000. Of these $8,509,000,000 affect -1945 schedules and $6,725,000,000 1946 schedules.

These cutbacks, however, do not present a clear picture of war pro duction. They dot not, for make allowance for new contracts that have been let for war work or any increases resulting from re-scheduling. And, because most of the 1945 cut backs take effect In the last five months of the year, there was not been time for the release of pri mary materials In large quantities, WPB said. Mitchell described the reconver sion program as "steadily gaining momentum, but said there are many retarding factors. These In clude shortages of some essential materials and parts and, In some areas, manpower.

"Reconversion must not be permitted to Interfere in any degree whatsoever with the production of war material Mitchell said. To safeguard this production controls are still maintained by WPB on materials such as sheet steel, gray iron castings, tin, wood, textiles and certain chemicals."

Effects of atomic energy ose in peacetime- Controlled By Allies At the moment the ose of this new weapon Is securely In the hands of the Allies. Stun-ton said the War department Is certain the Japanese cannot match It. Bat lt Is expected that In atnre yean every great industrial nation win develop It.

Military authorities already are talking of the possibility that the United States could be attacked by atomic rockets launched either from Europe or Asia, Some expectte aae this si new and dramatlo argw- ment, when Congress re tarns, for enactment of national service legislation. How the uranium is prepared and "canned" the bomb and how It is detonated are points which remain secret But something Is known of the explosive effects. Scientists and Army officers made a test In the desert near Alamogor-do, N. U. early on July x16.

When the bomb went off there was a blinding flash of light brighter than the sun, a great billow of multi-colored gases soared 40,000 feet When the experimenters visited the scene of the blast they found the earth torn Into a huge crater. The steel tower on which, the bomb had rested had been vaporized. Forest rangers 150 miles away thought there had been an earthquake and persons 250 miles distant reported their windows rattled with the spreading concussion.
