FOUR RAIDS IN (Continued From Page One) craft works. Included in its main urban area of 1.5 square mijes are the imperial dye works, the Kalv.anishi aircraft company and the Mitsubishi electric company. Eifriief Gen. Carl A. Spaatz had announced from U. S. strategic air force headquarters that some 50 superforts had bombed the Nakajima plant visually while a smaller force wad hitting the Tokyo arsenal area, selected as an alternate target for planes which found the aircryf: plant ob-cured by* smoke. The Nakajima plant already had li.een 62 percemt destroyed, and the arsenal was last hit April 14. The B-23s met intense flak but no enemy aircraft. Radio Tokyo said about 65 super-1 forts were i nthe Toklo raid and claimed two were shot down andlll0 1 others heavily damaged. Other B-29s mined harbor areas at Rashin in Korea and at Shimonoseki, Maizuri and Sakai on Hon.-hu. The city lohg had been marked for destruction, but bad weather prevented the climatic raid until today. A special announcement said the attack was the "long-anticipat-ed culination of a plan by Maj. GenCurtis Le May to cripple the warmaking potential of that metropolis." » it was the 15th pre-warned city to be attacked by the B-295. Three other Superfortress missions al=o were announced by Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, commander of the strategic air forces in the Pacific. A number of B-29s mined enemy waters last night and early today, another small for.ee dropped 92 tons of boptbs on * Marcus island a third attacked the Doublon boat basin at Truk with 85 ton# of explosives Tuesday afternoon. All returned safely. Fire Damage Damage estimated at $200,000,000 was caused by the Chicago fire of 1871.

Air Power To Defeat Japs-Rickenbacker Japanese Homeland Invasion Unneeded New York, Aug. 7. —(UP) Japan will be defeated by air power “exclusively” through atomic, demolition and incendiary bombings without any invasion of its homeland, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker said last night. The world war 1 air ace sail) tljat the bombings in a very short time should demoralize Japanese people and industry that “they will cry quits.” “Thio is strictly an ajr power show in the Pacific theater,” he said. "Already Japanese communications are cpipplete disrupted. The entire countny’s transportation of food is disorganized . . . . destruction of Japan’s electrification system ... is already in a far advanced stage.” He said it was his “firm belief” that this is the first war that “will be won exclusively by air power, notwithstanding all experts’ feelings that we will have to land troops on the home islands themselves.” o-, TRUMAN SPEAKS

But he decided on a half hour address la tiiis instance because of the momentous developments in the montn be was away from the White House -the Potsdam conference, the surrender ultimatum to Japan and finally, the unveiling of the de--iructive new atomic bomb. There was sharp speculation that the President might take occasion in his speech to warn the Japanese again that they must surrender now or see the entire country suffer the fate of BiroJi im a. The development of the atomic comb has left the country, and the world, with mixe« reelings >ver what the future holds. Many people will be listening to the President lor further word on iteps taken to control this aweinspiring secret. In first announcing the existence of the bomb two days ago, Mr. Truman said that he would ask Congress to establish a p.omnission to control the productmn and use of atomic power and that he would make recommendations b'mself on its employment. The cruiser Augusta, which car-

ried the President’s party to and .’rom Europe, docked at New Pon News. Va., shortly before 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. A special train awaited the President there 1 and less than six hours later he was back in the White Hours. He was met there by members of the cabinet and conferred with i them briefly. A cabinet meeting was called for Friday. Awaiting the President were numerous pressing home front I problems, m.ost of them dealing with reconversion anfd preparation for peace. War Mobiljaer John W. Snyder was the only top Washington official to meet the President when he stepped off the Augusta. Mr. Truman had requested that hjs return occasion no fanfare. The Senate War Investigating, eomiplttee, once known as the Truman committee, hopes to call ; on the president this week t<? urge that the Office of War Mobilization and reconversion be given fuller authority over war agen cies. The committee believes that lack of central control has muddled reconversion, ami threaten,? the country with mass unemployment in case of a sudden Japanese collapse. HOSPITAIBUDGET (Continued From Page One) ses are under that figure, the auditor’s records reyeal. Under the head of personal services, the estimates are as follows: Salary-of superintendent, ?2,640; clerical assistants, $1,716; nurses, $36,465; janitors, $2,640; cooks, $4,774; diet kitchen, $5,060; laundry, $4,482; nurses room rent allowance, $3,100.

Jipve ip easy ways to victory, emphatically does not intend to sit back now. When Stimson proclaimed the war department's position last week, he knew that the atomic, bomb would work, that, it packed Hie punch of 20,000 tons of TNT, th?t it would be put to work destroying Japanese cities. Nothing has happened to change his calculations. The men Who bear the awful responsibility for winning this war do not dar e to put ajl their eggs In one basket. They must, ae observers explained it, plan for the worst. They muss base (heir calculations on the assumption that it still may be necessary to invade Japan with infancy. So the high command is going right ahead with the redeployment program which calls for a force of millions of men —3,000,000 —ac- ; cording to recent congressional esI timates —in the Pacific backed by other millions of supply forces.
