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. . . . Assistant Secretary of
the Navy John Kenny is the latest
to knife President Truman’s atomic
control policy. Kenny testified on
Capital Hill that he was personally
in favor of giving the military great
er control over atomic energy—
which was directly contrary to his
commander-in-chief. . . . British
Tories are urging ex-Prime Minis
ter Winston Churchill to resign as
Tory leader of commons and devote
himself solely to writing his mem
oirs. They seem to feel he can be
more useful in private life.

MERRY GO ROUND
It got little publicity, but Presi
dent Truman pulled an A-l man out
of the navy when he made Comdr.
Jim Reynolds a member of the Na
tional Labor Relations board. Rey
nolds is brother of famed War Cor
respondent Quentin Reynolds, has
been doing a good job handling the
navy’s labor relations. . . . Harold
Ickes had his first censorship dif
ficulties when the Washington Star
didn’t like what he wrote about Sen
ator McCarran of Nevada, and
omitted that particular column.

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.

ho-hum’d: “Only nine more rounds
to go!” . . . Sherman Billingsley was
the guest of Prof. Runyon at the
ringside. The Stork man was
thrilled about getting a “free” seat.
He bought $1,000 worth of $100
ducats, which he gave to friends.
. . . After round two (in which Conn
irked the champ with some fancy
hoop-la) Louis gave Conn the most
refrigerated glare since Sonja Henie
iced Dan Topping. . . . When In
come Tax Collector Nunan met
heavy taxpayer Ann Sheridan, she
groaned: “Hullo, boss.” ... As the
gambling wiseacres put it: “Never
bet against a champion—until he
loses.”
