THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM WASHINGTON.—Gen. Joseph P. McNarney, who is doing a better job as commander of occupied Ger many than most people think, likes to sing. And when he comes up to Berlin for his regular visits with the other Allied commanders, he always engages in a song fest with the Russians. As a result, the Russians have adopted a new song which they virtually regard as the Ameri can national anthem. They sing it on any and all occasions. They think it brings pride and pleasure to the hearts of Amer icans; and the Red army in Berlin, at least, is anxious to please Americans. Actually the song may bring great pride and pleasure to General McNarney, but other Americans privately are getting a bit weary of it. The Russians have learned the English words, and to the tune of “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” here is what they sing as the new American national anthem: “Three cheers for the Sam Jones Junior high school, The best junior high in Toledo.” The fact that they have learned the words illustrates a point which some of our top-bracket statesmen don’t always realize—namely, de spite our difficulties with the Soviet government, we have no quarrel with the Russian people. Not much has been said about it, but relations between the American and Soviet armies in Berlin have been extraor dinarily good. At first, the Russians were suspicious, didn’t want any fraternization of their troops with ours. But that suspicion has large ly disappeared. The Red army is a large, unwieldy, badly disciplined, very human cross section of the Russian people, and that part of the Red army which is in Berlin likes Americans. PRUSSIAN JUNKERS Robert Murphy, political adviser to General McNarney in Berlin, has secretly sent a bitter complaint to the state department because the Russians have redistributed the es tates of the Prussian Junkers in the Soviet zone of Germany. The Russians have broken up some 10,- 000 large estates among about 275,- 000 peasants. Despite the fact that the Potsdam agreement specifical ly called for breaking up large es tates, Murphy has warned Wash ington that this land reform in the Russian zone is endangering the western type of democracy we want. WE DIDN’T DEI EAT JAPAN Most people won’t believe it, but in Czechoslovakia, a country not un friendly to the U. S. A., the people have no idea that the United States had anything to do with defeating Japan. They think it was Russia that did it sill. Reason is that the Russian radio a.id propaganda machine has done a skillful job of propa gandizing the Czechoslovak peo ple, while we have done abso lutely nothing to counteract it. Reason we haven’t told our side of the story is that congress has hamstrung the state department on shortwave broadcasting. The house appropriations committee cut the heart out of the state department’s appropriation for propaganda, espe cially radio broadcasting. MAILMAN SULLIVAN Too little attention is paid in this politics-ridden capital to the quiet, unassuming officials who consistent ly do a bang-up job. One of them is Assistant Post master General Gael Sullivan. Coming from Chicago and trained under Mayor Ed Kelly, Sullivan at first looked like a pure political ap pointee. In six months, however, he has become one of the most ef fective members of the little cabi net. CAPITAL CHAFF Both the Chinese Nationalists and the Chinese Communists are burst ing to learn what’s in the script for “The Life of Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen,” a new movie to be made by Producer Lester Cowan. Perhaps General Marshall could use oriental curios ity to persuade both sides to get together. . . .

N. W. Houses Now Selling for Double Their True Worth A RE you one of those who are willing, under press of circum stances, to spend $6,000 to $7,000 out of your war savings to buy or build a home, and out of low grade mate rials too, and in 6 to 1C years see it deteriorate in value something like 65 per cent? In other words, are you willing to spend $6,000 today for a home, and in 10 years sell it for $2,100, and take a loss of $3,900? At any rc.te, whether you are willing or not, that’s what likely will happen under present inflated values of homes and home construction. That’s what hap pened after the last war, and that’s what government, in the face of overwhelming opposition by the real estate lobby, is seeking to pre vent after this war. It is having little luck so far. And you may be lucky if you don’t lose the whole thing. After the boom and bust period which followed the last war, millions of home owners who had pur chased at inflated prices, not only lost their equity, but they saw the mortgage foreclosed and their homes go into the hands of insurance companies and other real estate mort gagors. Farmers were in the same beat. The only difference between now and after the last war is that now more land at inflated value is being purchased for cash than 25 years ago. Thus the purchaser of high cost farm land today stands a bet ter chance of evading the mortgage foreclosure . . . that is, he may save his land, but suffer the loss in value. Home Prices Jump 65% In a nation-wide survey recently completed by presidents of Federal Home Loan banks, regional mana gers of Home Owners Loan corpora tions, insuring officers of the Fed eral Housing administration, all constituents of the National Hous ing agency of which Mr. Wilson Wyatt is administrator . . . these results were disclosed: As between 1940 and 1946, low- priced homes, homes selling under $6,000, have gone up 65.1 per cent, medium priced homes, $6,000 to $12,- 000, have gone up 57 per cent, raw land has jumped 60.1 per cent and fully prepared building lots have upped 61.8 per cent . . . and the report disclosed that this inflation held true in small towns and large cities alike . . . and some of these communities showed real estate prices skyrocketing as high as 100 per cent. The Pacific coast region led the parade of price rises with an aver age increase on low-priced homes of 96.3 per cent, while the Mid dle Atlantic region showed the smallest, at 44 per cent. Some of the answers to this in flated value of homes and home con struction are seen in the Wagner- Ellender - Taft bill which the real estate lobby is opposing tooth and nail as “socialistic.” The bill, how ever, is a long-range bill and will not answer the immediate problem, as the veterans’ housing bill with its attendant subsidies seeks to do. Looks to Future Heeds This long-range measure, foresee ing a continued emergency demand for new housing for many years to come, provides for the expenditure of some 6.8 billion dollars in pub lic money for slum clearance and public housing, both urban and rural development, offers federal loans where they cannot be ob tained by private loan, and pro vides for easy purchase or fair rent al. Despite the determined opposi tion, this bill sailed through the sen ate without even a roll-call record vote when the measure was passed. It appears to this writer that the result of this impartial sur vey shows clearly that without regulation inflation comes upon the heels of widespread de mand. In this instance, the greater demand is in low-cost homes, and that is where the greatest degree of inflation rests ... 65 per cent as compared to 57 per cent for the next bracket. It is for this reason that OPA and Housing - expediter Wyatt have been demanding price con trol of these homes and sub sidies to partially provide incen tive for material supply, and to ease the burden of costs with public money. It appears, too, that instead of pre venting inflation in the real estate market, which is already here, the objective now is to hold it from go ing farther out-of-bounds, if this can be done in the face of all the ob stacles which must be overcome. We have the certain lesson of the last war in front of us. We have the facts of the present to go upon and yet our psychological make-up is such that our fur is rubbed the wrong way when we are told ti irough governmental regulation to do this or not to do this. What we want, we want now. DIRECT FROM BIKINI: An Eye Witness Account Of Atomic Bomb Blast Damage from the atomic bomb test blast is shown here as tbe light carrier USS Independence is pictured burning shortly after bomb explosion. By WALTER A. SHEAD WNU Washinfton Correspondent. ABOARD USS APPALACHIAN, OPERATIONS CROSSROADS.— From a military standpoint the ex plosion of the fourth atomic bomb was a huge success but as a spec tacle worth traveling 8,000 miles to see it did not live up to its advance billing. From the standpoint of ef ficiency and precision the plutonium bomb was dropped squarely in the target area. The advance weather predictions held true. It was dropped on time to the second. The air drones were sent through the cloud area and shepherded back by their mother ships. The boat drones were sent into the area of radio activity and brought back via radio control. The cameras clicked and the instruments built especially to measure the results of the blast worked. But to those of us here aboard the Appalachian, who had been ori entated and lectured day after day for the past two weeks, who had interviewed scientists and scien tific writers, the bomb burst and the atomic cloud were a disappoint ment. The recapitulation of the damage showed the troop transports Giliom and Carlisle sunk; the destroyer Lampson capsized; heavy damage was done to the submarine Skate, the light cruiser Pensacola, the car rier Independence, the Jap cruiser Sakawa, and the German pocket battleship Prinz Eugen. Light to negh^ible damage was caused on the Jap battleship Nagata, the bat tleship Nevada, the oiler No. 160 and LCM No. 1. Small fires were started and later extinguished on the destroyer Wilson, the Pensacola, the transport Briscoe, the Nevada, the carrier Saratoga and transports Niagara, Bladen, Banta, Butte, Cortland, Bracken and Faun and the battleship New York. Heaviest damage was caused on the Inde pendence and the fire which burst into flames on her stern was more dramatic to watch than the bomb burst insofar as this writer was con cerned. Because the atomic cloud did not reach the heights achieved in previ ous drops was not considered as reflection upon the efficiency of the bomb. Reasons for the relatively low cloud given were that water ab sorbed much of the heat energy and the difference in atmospheric struc ture caused a slower rise. It may be that those of us who stood along the starboard rail of the Appalachian were expecting too much. We had been led to be lieve from many sources to expect drama and adventure and excite ment. Let me assure you there was no drama and certainly no ex citement. I confess that as I pulled the polarized plastic goggles over my eyes as we heard the signal “bomb away” I did feel excited and tense as I awaited the blast. It came as I saw it, well above the horizon, a huge orange ball. It might have been a fireworks display on the Fourth of July, al though not near so dazzling. I watched the cloud appearing like nothing more than a huge cherry ice cream soda. Cream white on the surface but deep inside the hues were pink and rose, and it boiled and seethed up through a cumulous natural cloud which hid it from our view. I felt a slight “pft” in my ears but felt no heat blast. Seconds later the sound of detona tion came like a distant peal or roll of thunder that’s all, but then we were 18 miles away. Ten minutes after the blast the cloud ha-', mushroomed up to a height of 26,000 feet and was ap proximately 12,000 feet across the top. The trade winds soon broke it up and it was pushed westward where it gradually leveled off and dispersed as our ship steamed slowly along the seaward side of Bikini island. We could see the ghost fleet in the lagoon through our binoculars. Fire amidship showed on the Sara toga. The Salt Lake City was ablaze. There appeared to be a small fire aboard the Nevada. These fires made a smoke haze over the lagoon, but it soon cleared away and as I look toward the lagoon now there is little indication of a fire anywhere. We are changing course now, fol lowing the Mt. McKinley, Admiral Blandy’s flagship, apparently with the intention of entering the lagoon. Television receiving sets in the ward room of the Appalachian reg istered the blast from cameras in stalled on the island, then they went out of commission. The carrier Independence likely suffered more damage than any oth er capital ship to its superstruc ture and all planes which were atop its flight deck were carried away. There was superficial or superstruc ture damage to other ships of the 73 in the target fleet but to me the pathos of the thing was emphasized when I saw the sturdy masts of the old Nevada brilliant in its orange paint, standing there still staunch and true despite the atomic bomb. There was no wind, no waves and no thunderstorm. No trees were damaged on the island. There was no tidal wave and no earthquake. In fairness there was no prediction from the navy or army officials that any of these things might happen. The navy frankly said they didn’t know what would happen. These wild predictions were made by sci entists or scientific writers. Also, in all fairness to the officers of joint task force No. 1 the bomb, which looked so small to the lay writers, may actually have been big. ■ Scientifically of course there can be no adequate judgment of the re sults until the instruments have been read, the damage on the va rious ships actually determined and measured. In the light of the ob jectives, the navy and the army had in mind the actual effect of the bomb on naval construction, navy and army material, armament, ord nance and other equipment. Admiral Blandy, commander of the task force, issued a statement in which he said he was highly pleased with the whole operation; with the bomb drop and with the ef ficiency of the bomb. There are sev eral aboard the ship who saw the Nagasaki bomb drop and the drop at Los Alamos, N. M. They de clared this bomb appeared to be smaller, judgmg from the flash and the atomic cloud which in the case of Nagasaki soared to a height of about 55,000 feet. There is no doubt that the force of this terrible energy is like nothing ever known on earth before but the distances out here are so great that the energy was dispersed and dissipated over a vast area. For instance, at Nagasaki the area of total bomb damage was in six square miles, or an area of about a mile and a half radius while the distance of the Nevada from the shore of Bikini lagoon was about three miles. And the lagoon itself is 10 miles across and 25 miles long. It must also be remembered that as this story is written for trans mission in time to get it to you there has been no actual assessment of the real damage. There may be more as we enter the lagoon and can visually assay the damage. Precision Marked Operations Crossroads By PAUL FELTUS When “Dave’s Dream” took to the dawn sky on Kwajalein Atoll, the long-planned and vast machin ery of the Army Air Forces role in Operations Crossroads began to move with the precision of a great war mission. The operation had been planned, but this time there was a new thrill of anticipation for they were dealing with the force of atomic energy. The schedule for every one of the hundreds of planes and ships had been timed to the second. Every body knew just what to do as the command plane headed for the tar get area of Bikini lagoon. The vast network of communica tions was set in motion. The weath er man had said, "This is the day,” and General Ramey had said, “Let’s Go.” Then the planes began to rolL A SHORT while ago, we were roaming the Cleveland land scape with a pretty fair old-timer. He was, and is, the Gray Eagle— only a trifle gray er than he used to be. The name is Speaker — Tris Speaker — the kid who came up from Hubbard City, Tex., near ly 40 years ago to become one of the great ball players of all time, both as an out-fielding hawk and a hitter, a hitter good enough to keep Ty Cobb from leading the league 13 consecu tive years. Tris Speaker won or saved many a ball game with his brilliant field ing and his hard hitting. But he will ingly agrees that when it comes to a winning percentage, the star pitcher is the winning factor. “Walter Johnson,” Speaker said, “won 20 or more games a year over a period of 10 consecu tive years with a club that with out him probably would have been mired in the second divi sion. His average was about 200 or maybe 300 per cent above his team’s average. Washington without Johnson was a pushover. Washington with Johnson pitching was hard er to beat than any team in the league, including the Athlet ics, Tigers or the Red Sox. It’s the same, today, when Newhous- er. Feller and Chandler are working. “The Red Sox also have great pitchers, but they have a great team to back them up. What makes them so strong, at this point anyway, is that in addition to a fine ball club they also have the pitching. That makes it tough for any challenger. Great pitchers such as Ed Walsh, Nick Altrock and Doc White have carried weak-hitting teams to a pennant and a world’s champion ship, as this trio did in 1906, but no set of hitters and fielders ever have carried weak pitchers anywhere out of the second division.” All that is needed is to look over the individual pitching averages of Hal Newhouser of the Tigers, Bob Feller of the Indians and Spud Chandler of the Yankees and com pare them with the averages of their teams in the standing of the clubs. These three men have kept on win ning in spite of weak batting sup port at times. You’ve heard more than a little about the famous Gas House gang of St. Louis around 1934. They had their full share of good ball-players, but it was Dizzy Dean who pitched them into a pennant — without Dizzy they would have finished six or eight games away, possibly more. Tris Speaker IS ext Title Bout In the wake of the Louis-Conn championship fight it is only natural that the new gossip should concern the next title contest. It was gen erally understood that if Louis re tained his title his next fight would be against the winner of the Tami Mauriello - Jersey Joe Walcott elim ination contest. If Conn won there was to be a repeat engagement, meaning the best two out of three. Louis will have to have a Sep tember match for several reasons. One is need of money to pay his taxes and to square his account with Mike Jacobs. Another is that Joe isn’t getting any younger and the years have begun to take their toll. He still can pick up another $90,000 net profit in a second fight. Outside of Conn and Louis, the heavyweight picture has been shy of talent for some time. Now Conn is definitely out. Promoter Mike Jacobs has been trying to get a real challenger ready for the last three years, but the supply has been ex tremely thin. Lee Oma kicked himself out of the picture with his terrible showing against Jer sey Joe Walcott. Oma set an all-time record for wrecking a show, for refusing to make any part of a fight. You can throw Oma out of any heavyweight picture that means anything. Jersey Joe Walcott may not be much of a heavyweight, as far as champions go, and the same can be said of Tami Mauriello. SUU they seem to be the only ones left who have shown anything worth looking at — and neither has shown too much. A Mauriello-Walcott meet ing might be no part of a thriller— it doesn’t figure to be—but at least it would be a clash between the two heavyweights who might slip into the spotlight in the wake cf Louis and Conn. Financially, the sooner such a fight is scheduled, perhaps the bet ter. There has been an abnormal amount of loose money around. The amazing thing is that during the five years intervening between the first and second Louis - Conn parties, no other heavyweight has been developed who has any class. One might think that over a five- year period, during which so much boxing was taught in the army and navy, some challenger would have been found. So far this is only an idle dream. Up to date no such animal has been developed. New York Ringside: One of us wondered how the Louis- Conn RKO fight films would get over since there wasn’t a real blow struck in Round One and not much fighting in the following rounds un til the finish. “The movies will be awful dull,” said a fellow. “They’d look a lot better,” said a wag, “with Lana Turner!” Grade Allen, the fight expert of Burns & Allen, was among the Working Press section in Row A. . , .
