Wayne Guthrie Describes Bikini Tests Sunday
Unless we get peace for our world, we may be faced with iternity within ten years, Wayne Jruthrie, assistant managing editor of The Indianapolis News cold a good sized crowd at the Farm Bureau Harvest Sunday at the City Park. Mr. Guthrie, who was one of the correspondents at the Bikini atom bomb tests, said, that while that performance was strictly a test, it showed that the bomb can be a terrible weapon in warfare. In his deeply moving address, Mr. Guthrie told of the damage that the bomb had done to thf test ships and to the equipment and animals- aboard the ships. He told of Pig 311, which was on a ship that sank 28 hours after the explosion, and which was found swimming in the radioactive lagoon another 26 hours later. That pig, the speaker said, was still alive and under observation at Bethesda, Md., for possible .long-range ijffects cf the radio-active bomb. ,;The spectacle of the bomb exploding both in the 'air and under the sea was awesome, he told hia audience. The light from the aerial explosion was 1,000 times greater than any light man has ever seen before, the heat from it . was greater than the rays of the sun, .. and the effects were oo.ru. oa Ann x murm 6 n u, 'r , Miss Ruth McCammon, of Carlisle sang the 4-H song at the beginning of the afternoon program, and Economics numbers. the Sullivan Hor the us gave two , Albert Avery, trustee of Fair banks Township, was manager for the day. platform HI III I I1II1IIU I ' VWM'"I l" InSpeCTCd Although commending several many desirable features at the No 5 mine of the Knox nsoiidated Coal Corporation -at Bruceville, Ind., a reinspection report released today by the Bureau of Mines DroDoses added County mine employed 192 men and produced 1,300 tons of coal day when Inspector James A.

GOP Admits Truman Won In Special Session (By Joseph Nolan) United Press Staff Correspondent Many Republicans admitted privately today, that President Truman "won" at the special session of Congress, but they count on the Communists-in-Washington inquiry to even up the political score. These GOP Senators and Representatives expressed belief that the party's failure to take a strong stand ,on prices and housing may cost them some votes in their bid for reelection. But they are confident that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican standard bearer, won't be much worse off as a result of the "political" session. The "bad effects," if any, will be confined to the Congressional races, they feel. Sen. Irving Ives, R., N. Y., a member of Dewey's inner circle, said the GOP candidate will outline his own program be tween now and election time. And will . campaign . on that rather than cn the. record . .. of the 80th Congress. However, Senate Democratic Whip Scott W. Lucas,' 111., in sisted that Dewey can't dodge the record of the Republicancontrolled Congress. He said Mr. Truman's political stock is "definitely on the upgrade" and j has been ever since he was nominated. Many Republicans look to the Communist spy inquiry, now being conducted by the House un-American activities committee, to make up for whatever ground they may have lost at the session. They expect the investigation to supporf their claim that the RooseveltTruman administration winked at Communist infiltration of the government. Renew Efforts To . End Dayton Strike DAYTON, O., Aug. 9. (UP) Mayor Louis Lohrey renewed his efforts today to settle the 97-day-old strike at the Univis Lens Co., after company officials rejected a two point proposal acceptable to the United Electrical Workers (CIO).

Stanley said that the "company saw no reason to continue sessions with a union which has been decertified" by the National Labor Relations Board. He said that workers were being hired to fill the vacancies caused by UE members remaining on strike.
W 'EI Smith declined to comment, in keeping with the ironclad secrecy . imposed on the series of talks between Western diplomats and So- . viet government leaders, including Premier Josef Stalin. , The American ambassador said . he was very tired. He was beginning to show the strain of neail' two weeks of intense and sustain- . ed consultations with fellow diplomats and Soviet officials. The envoys went to the Kremlin at 4:50 p.m. (7:50 a.m. CST) and the meeting broke up at 8 , p.m. (11 am. CST). Tonight's meeting, was the third of the American, Brtish and French diplomats with Mqlotov alone. The last was Friday night. when they talked for three hours at the Kremlin. U. S. Ambassador Smith, French Ambassador Yves Chataigneau. and Frank Roberts, special British envoy, met at the American embassy preparatory to the visit to the Kremlin. They have met daily since the renewal of contacts on Germany with Soviet .leaders here. A week ago tonight the envoy? talked for two hours at the Kremlin with Premier Josef Stalin. Last Friday night they went again to the Kremlin and talked for three hours with Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov.
