People of the city stood silently in prayer for a moment, then went on about the business of living. was the second anniversary of the radiant, consuming flash of the It worlds first atomic bomb. . Hiroshima, which saw 92,000 of its citizens immolated in that uncontrollable outburst of energy in 1945, 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. and they They tolled bells, planned the building of a modern 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 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 States uninhabitable if exploded simultaneously. He made it a complete Jeremiad by adding, "We know that some other country will have the atomic bomb within five We know that when that years. happens we are all set for the final catastrophe. ( In a constructive moment, Dr. Robert Oppenhelmer, atom pioneer, said that usable electrical power derived from atomic energy may be available by 1952. But everybody knew that the United States was stressing development and production of the atomic bomb to build a stockpile for utter destruction. And everybody knew that Russia was laboring furiously toward the same ends. The people of Hiroshima did well to toll bells two years after they felt the bomb. It brought to mind an old, poetic question: Did the bells herald a wedding or a funeral? Before she could finish (he guessed what was coming) he held up his hand.
