The Japanese' insist .that more than 200,000 were killed in the explosion and by its aftereffects. The American estimate of the dead was 80,0t)0. The city looks today as if it never had seen war. It has 20 motion picture theaters, twice the: number of old Hiroshima. There aife 2.000 restaurants and tea shops.

When a building is constructed the workers sometimes find bodies of atom bomb victims but otherwise there are few traces of the historic explosion. But the bombing of Hiroshima is not forgotten in the Japanese press.A special report printed In the Nippon Times today gave a graphic description of how a little girl was made to look “like a living corpse” in the explosion. Another newspaper, ' referring to the government’s recent plan for building up Japan’s arlhy, commented: . VAnguet 6th is the anniversary of the A-bomb. This

Pleads Innocent To Slaying Os Husband American Mother To Face German Trial PLEADS INNOCENT TO MUNICH, Germany, UP — A pretty teen-aged American mother of two childrep, her voice trembling and almost inaudible, pleaded innocent today to the first ae> gree jealousy murder of her air force sergeant-husband. The U. S. high commission district court ordered pale, slender and blonde MrS. Martha J. Wage, 19, held for trial opening Sept. 22 before three American judges. If convicted, she could be sent to prison for life. No evidence was heard at the brief hearing in a stifling court rooin. She was accused of shooting 25-yearold Sgt. Dan P. Wige, Baldw|n, Wis., in a bedroom quarrel in their Fuerstenfeldbrucke air base billets July 26 after he brought home a German girl friend. Mrs. Wage, mother of two infants, appeared more composed than at her tearful preliminary hearing July 28. She was still pale but a slash of bright red lipstick brightened her Thee. wore a white blouse and a brown and yellow skirt. She was led into the small court room by a WAC and a giant military policeman who dwarfed the petite prisoner. ‘ She showed no sign of emotion, her large dark eyes staring almost trancelike into the. distance. When presiding Judge Leo M. Goodman asked Mrs. Wage if she were married, she replied in a small, trembling voice: "No. I was. I am a widow.” She shuddered slightly. “Do you plead guilty or not guilty?” the judge demanded. Mrs. Wage’s reply was almost inaudible: “Not guilty.” Her lawyer, Morton Lang, repeated the plea of “not guilty” and asked time to gather witnesses. With fixing of the trial date for Sept. 22, the brief hearing ended. Twenty-five spectators witnessed the arraignment. Mrs. Wage taken back to a barred roomiin the WAG barracks here to await the trial, A WAC guard constantly shares the cell to guard against any suicide attempt. She will be tried under a section of the German -criminal code equivalent to a first degree murder .charge. Since there is no capital punishment in Western Gerinany, she will face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment if convicted. The former Martha Owen, Mrs. Gage was born in Red Wing, Minn., although her mqther, Mrs. Martin Thompson, now lives as Ladysmith, Wis. Despite her plea of innocent, air police authorities have said Mrs. Gage made both an oral and written confession to slaying her husband. > • Testimony at the preliminary hearing disclosed that the fatal quarrel broke out after her 25-

year-old husband arrived home late with a German girl, , Elizabeth Bartel, 26. ' ■■ ■" Mrs. Wage was said to have followed her husband into the bedroom, where he was changing his i clothes. She asked him where he was going. “None of your ” damned business',” he was reported to have replied. “The next time you see ‘ me you'll appreciate me more " Mrs. Wage told investigators she took a carbine from a closet and pointed the gun at her husband “to scare him.” She said she was certain it would not fire because the mechanism was faulty. The first two times she pulled the trigger, the gun did not fire. But the third time it did, and Wage dropped on the bed, gasping, “Oh, God!” The Wages’ two children, Diane, 15 months, and Kathleen, five weeks, are being cared for by- - at the air base. The first election broadcast took place In 1920 when Westinghouse station KDKA in Pittsburgh reported the Harding-Cox presidential election returns.
