Atomic-- Continued From Page On, broadcasts are bombarding the Japanese with reports of this mighty new weapon. Ene- my warlords can determine for themselves what it did at Hiroshima, with a destructive force comparable to 20,000 tons of TNT. The Japanese have no adedefense aaginst quate weapon any more than against this regular aerial bombardment. They can only surrender or face destruction. The hour is the most critical in their national history. Few top officiala here expect a surrender at once, and Mr. Truman himself said the United States is fully prepared to go ahead with the bombings. Moreover, future attacks shortly may be intensified, for Mr. Truman disclosed that new and even more powerful atomic bombs are in the mak- ing. The president and Secretary of War Stimson gave little detail of the new weapon except that the aize of the explosive charge is exceedingly small. A London commentator reported that the bomb is only the size of the blockbuster, although some observers here believe It may be heavy and bulky because of the apparatus needed to touch off the charge. Effects of atomic energy use in peacetime At the moment the use of this weapon is securely in the hands of the Allies. Stimson said the War Department is certain the Japanese cannot. match it. But it is expected that in one-ten- th future years every great industrial nation will develop it. Military authorities already are talking of thf possibility that the United States could be attacked by atomic rockets launched either from Europe or Asia. Some expect to use this as a new and dramatic argument, when congress returns. for enactment of national service legislation. The contention will be made that should such an attack occur in some future generation this country would need millions of trained citizens capable of taking control to prevent panic, to organize security and to prepare for resisIn tance and counter-attacthe war of the future, these authorities say, an enemy ready for quick conquest probably would seek to follow up atomic attacks by parachute rockets Invasion of key cities.

Another piece of legislation for which military leaders are prepared to argue would authorize the federal government to organize and promote peactlme scientific research. It was such research which led eventually to development of the atomic bomb. Mr. Truman, Stimsonj former Prime Minister Churchill, who drafted Britain's statement on the bomb, and others, stressed of the peaceful possibilities atomic energy.

He said the marshal approved the visit to England of Louis Rougier and that he returned from conferences with former Prime Minister Churchill and former Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden . with a working agreement. Tfie witness said Britain agreed to take no aggressive action against French colonies if tha Vichy government would not attempt to regain control of territory held by Gen. de Gaulle's Free French. Under the proposed plan, Fernet said the Britthe ish would have relaxed blockade if Vichy agreed not to help Germany in any way.
