I NEWS REVIEW i Mark Birthday of Atom; Hungarian Attitude Hit ANNIVERSARY: Bells Tolled In Hiroshima, .lafian, the hells tolled. People of the city stood silently in prayer for a moment, then u-ent on about the business of lifing. It was the second anniversary ot the radiant, consuming flash of the ft-orld's first atomic bomb. Hiroshima, which saw 92.000 of its citizens immolated in that uncontrollable uncon-trollable outburst of energy in 194a. was perhaps the one place on earth where the bomb could be thought of as a reality. Everywhere else it was a nightmarish, Damoclean sword; but in Hiroshima the people were paying it a sort of fantastic and bewildered adulation. They tolled bells, and thay planned the building of a modem city with a peace memorial at the spot over which the bomb had been dropped. At other points across the globe, the atomic age was living up to its awful reputation by wringing fearsome fear-some comments and predictions from men who are supposed to know about it. Robert M. Hutchins, chancellor of University of Chicago, said that two atom bombs which now could be manufactured would make the United Unit-ed States uninhabitable if exploded simultaneously. He made it a complete com-plete Jeremiad by adding. "We know that some other country will have the atomic bomb within five years. Wo know that when that happens we are all set for the final catastrophe." In a constructive moment, Dr. Robert Oppenhcimcr. atom pioneer, pio-neer, said that usable electrical power derived from atomic energy en-ergy may be available by 1952. But everybody knew that the United Unit-ed States was stressing development and production of the atomic bomb to build a stockpile for utter destruction. de-struction. And everybody knew that Russia was laboring furiously toward to-ward the same ends. The people of Hiroshima did well to toll bells two years after they felt Die bomb. It brought to mind an old, poetic question: Did the bells herald a wedding wed-ding or a funeral? INSOLENCE: 5(7) Hands The United States, visibly irked by recent actions of the new Communistic Com-munistic Hungarian government, vented its diplomatic rage in a stinging note which accused Hungary Hun-gary of "ixadmissibly insolent" conduct con-duct toward American diplomats In that country. Second cause for U. S. anger was the arrest and beating in Budapest of nn American citizen and the subsequent sub-sequent unsatisfactory explanation of the Incident olTered by Hungarian ollVials. One of the most harshly worded protests to come rrom the state department de-partment since American planes were shot down over Yugoslavia a year ago, the note marked the first official unpleasantry to be delivered by the United States to the puppet Hungarian regime. The incident grew out of the ar- i rest of Stephen T. Thuransky, an American citizen, for his alleged "revolting and scandalizing vilifications vilifica-tions in public" of Hungary"s presi- . dent and other government mem- . bers. Thuransky, his wife and two daughters later were taken into custody cus-tody by U. S. legation officials and : removed to Vienna. In the protest note, the state department de-partment pointed out that the arrest ar-rest of an American citizen on purely pure-ly political charges is "absolutely inadmissible" under the armistice agreement which prevails in Hungary.
