High: 80s Low: 60s HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) Amid silent prayer and the ringing of bells, the citizens of Hiroshima commemorated Friday the world's first atomic attack 54 years ago, vowing to push for nuclear disarmament and international peace.

About 50,000 people attended the annual ceremony marking the anniversary. A moment of silent prayer commenced at 8:15 a.m. the exact moment a U.S. atomic bomb exploded above the city on Aug. 6, 1945.

Among dignitaries addressing the gathering in the city's Peace Memorial Park, Prime. Minister Keizo Obuchi pledged anew that Japan would work toward a world without nuclear weapons. But he admitted it was an effort fraught with uncertainty. "The course toward the abolishment of nuclear weapons is still in a severe situation," Obuchi said. Last year, India and Pakistan both carried out nuclear tests, raising fears that international efforts toward stopping the proliferation of nuclear arms could be seriously hurt.

Obuchi cited Japan's proposal, made earlier this year, for both the United States and Russia to reduce their strategic nuclear arsenals to the total abolition of such weapons. About 140,000 people were killed by the Hiroshima bomb and another 70,000 were killed three days later when the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on 1 Nagasaki. Japan surrendered on Aug. 15, 1945. Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba urged leaders of the world's nuclear powers to use the survivors' "will" as inspiration for eliminating nuclear weapons.

About 1,500 doves symbolizing peace were released into the sky as 300 children sang a song of peace. LOCAL DATA Mattoon .86 Low .62 8:50 p.m............ Precipitation No precipitation was recorded in Mattoon between 5 p.m. Wednesday and 5 p.m. Thursday.

Atomic Museum defends sale of bomb earrings; Japanese protest ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) Tiny silver replicas of the first atomic bombs that are being sold as earrings at the National Atomic Museum are stirring emotions in Japan. "We're very angry," said Naomi Kishimoto of the anti-nuclear group Gensuikyo in Hiroshima, one of the two Japanese cities hit with atomic bombs in World Warn. "It's not the sort of thing you should be hanging from your ears or using to decorate your desk," she said. "It's unforgivable that (the) museum would sell through the Internet something that praises the unit that dropped the atomic bomb." Members of Gensuikyo found the earrings and other items, including medallions that commemorate the bombing missions over Japan, on the museum's Web site.
