At the height of the Pacific north-west's gale, Light Superintendent Paul Peyton answered a telephone call from a woman motorist who reported her car was snarled In power wires at Rainier. She asked him to shut off the power until her machine could be removed.

"How did you get out of the car?" queried Peyton. "Oh, I Just pushed the wires aside with my purse and got out," she replied. The flabbergasted executive as-sured her the power would be shut off Immediately. The city's wires at Rainier carry 2,400 volts.

With the atomic bomb, it became epidemic. "War now can detray not cities, but nations." After describing the destruction wrought to Hiroshima Morrison said it is probable that an atom-bombed American city "would be as btdly damaged as a Japanese city, though it would look less wrecked from the air. "In Japan the wreckage burned clean; in a western city, the rubble would stand In piles in the streets.

"But the city would be just as ruined, and the people of the city as dead." ATOMIC PRODUCTION WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. l) The United States is cutting production of atomic bomb materiuls in at least one of the key plants where the revolutionary weapon was developed. This was disclosed in a routine official report on job conditions made public today by the U. S.

Employment Service. The report said: "Declining volume in the production of atomic bomb materials at Oak Ridge, caused a drop in employment (during November) in the Knoxville area and reduced its classification from one of stringent labor demand to one of balanced supply." No figures were given for either the plant or the area. But the report did say that a "reduction in force at the atomic bomb project near Knoxville" accounted for the principal increase in unemployment in the area. The USES survey did not mention Job conditions in the Washington state area where another huge atomic bomb project is located. WASHINGTON, Dec.

6 A scientist described today how fantastic effects of rays given off by atomic bombs killed Japanese weeks after the blasts which flattened Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Dr. Philip Morrison, wno helped assemble ti.se bombs, said the rays strangely affected the blood and made the victim a prey to fatal in-lection. In a statement prepared for the special senate atomic energy committee he laid of the gruesome findings of a party which inspected the devastated cities after the Japanese surrendered. He said most persons within a mile of the bombs died quickly either from a great heat of the blast or injuries suffered in demolished buildings.

Many who escaped death by blast or burn, Morrison said, "died from the effects of radium-like rays emitted in great number from tht bomb at the instant of the explosion." "This radiation affects the blood-forming tissues in the bone marrow, and the whole function of the blood is impaired," the former University of Illinois physics instructor related. "The blood does not coagulate, but oozes in many spots through the unbroken skin, and internally seeps 'Into the cavities of the body. The white corpuscles which fight Infection disappear." Lack of these corpuscles permits Infection to "prosper," Morrison said, "and the patient dies, usually two or three weeks after the exposure. I am not a medical man, but like all nuclear physicists I have studied this disease a little," Morrison said. "It is a hazard of our TULSA VS.

That is how Winston Churchill in a talk made in 1941, described the terrifying accumulation of well-planned barbarities committed by the Nazis on the living bodies of many a European nation and race. Britain's war leader, whose unique eloquence failed him when he searched for a word to convey the suffering of peoples tortured by the Oerman oppresser, finds now the name of this nameless crime in the indictment of the Nazi war leaders genocide. Count Three of the indictment reads in part: They (the de gether and there is genocide "killing a nation" or "murderer of a nation." In his book, Axis Rule in Oc cupied Europe (published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Washington, D.

It is Intended rather to imply a coordinated campaign for the destruction of the essential foundations of the life of national, religious and ethnic groups with the purpose of annihilating the groups themselves.

Thus genocide was practiced by the Germans upon Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Russians, and other Slavs and, to a lesser extent upon Frenchmen, Belgians and Luxembourgers. How It Works Genocide is directed against a group as an entity, and the actions Involved are directed against individuals, not In their individual capacity, but as members of such groups.
