POLITICIANS BARRED

Indiana Republican editors, still rankling from the Republican state convention "purge" of one of their members, Senator Raymond Willis, have relegated politicians to a back seat in planning their editorial association meeting in September. ' The editors say they will give no place on' the September 21 luncheon program to state officials and Republican candidates and that the affair will be for "editors only." It has been a custom in the past to permit the politicians to taka over the noon luncheon. Hie action of the editors, following closely the nearrevolt in Washington-. of . Republican congressional candidates .vho. refuse to be the tail to the senatorial"'candidate's kite in the coming campaign, makes it appear, the Republican state committee and Senatorial "Candidate William E. Jenner are standing pretty much alone. ' " As one party leader, sizing up ,the trend of events remarked, "it. seems to be;, the . Republican state committee against the Republican , party in this campaign." r - r ; -,- z : ! Atomic Bomb Shook . . , r World One Year Ago

Thk Morning's Headlines BUILDING CUT 700,000,OQO The White House ordered a $?00,000,000 cut in federal construction projects to help head off a "strong inflationary threat to the stability of the American economy." Reconversion Director John R. Steelman, at the request of President Truman, instructed executive agencies to reduce their combined $1,600,000,000 Federal Works program to $900,000,000 in line- with the Chief Executive's revised budget estimates made public over the week-end.

QUITS THREE-DAY HIDEOUT Lester Nichols, 41 years old, charged with shooting and seriously wounding his estranged wife, walked out of a swampland where he had been hiding nearly three days and told Sheriff Summers of Rochester, Ind., "I'm ready to face the music." ' " ' The used car dealer skirted a posse of 85 police and. civilians and surrendered to two neighbor farmers. The sheriff quoted Nichols as saying, "There was no use in trying to get away. I figured I might as well give up." Nichols is charged with assault with intent to kill in the shooting on an Akron street corner Friday night of his wife, Nora, 43, whose condition is described as serious. .

.By-'Mmtoan Smith - WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (UP) --Reporters at the White House oh Aug. 6, 1945 thought the day would be pretty dull. The President was at sea aboard the U.S.S. Augusta, en rout'e home from the Potsdam conference. . At 10:30 a. m. Eben Ayers, the assistant press secretary. 'reported that he had no news at the rfjflfmsrrt. uHw told the handful of rjewsmen, "You'd ' better stick around I might have a little something." Thousands of miles away on the other side of the world, the

suddenly-produced devastation the world had ever known. They did not know then what had hit them, but they knew it was bad. " Back- at the tranquil. White House the small group of reporters waited with mild curiosity for Ayers' "little something." He called them from the press ' room into his . office at 11' a. in. :.!'' v Statement By President have got here what I think is a darned, good story," he said, said. "It is a statement by the President which starts off this way: "Sixteen hours ago an Ameri-

The President seemed a little worried because he had not been notified that the bomb had proved successful. The next day Aug. 6 the President had noon chow with the enlisted men in their forward messroom. He was chatting amiably when an aide rushed Into the' room and handed the President a message. Hiroshima had been bombed under . perfect weather conditions, and with no opposition. "This is the greatest thing in history," the President shouted.

"We'll wait until this pushing stops," Miss Hart said.

WHILE they were waiting, Virginia told Grace all about how she had started writing to show Robert, who had made fun of her. Somehow she wondered why she was telling all this to a perfect stranger, "Cheer up," said Grace. "You'll be transferred soon. I'm going next door. Maybe I'll leave from there." And then Virginia knew where she was, It was some Bort of training school for girls ... The nurse called, "Supper, ladies." Virginia and Grace went to where the women were lining up. "No pushing, ladies," said Miss Hart "We'll wait until this pushing stops." Thpushing stopped. Miss Hart took the key that swung' from a long chain at her waist. She unlocked the door.

They marched into a hall that was curiously farnilian.

"Get away from my chair," she said.
