Page 12 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, September 24, 1954 Japan Mourns “Radiation” Death Today H-Bomb Tests In March Said To Be Death Cause By JOHN RANDOLPH TOKYO — Japan plunged into almost hysterical mourning today over the death last night of a 40- year-old fisherman who has be- come the nation’s symbol of hatred and fear of atomic weapons. Newspapers and radio broad- casts were virtually turned over to news of Aikichi Kuboyama’s death. Much of the comment was anti-American, but not violently so. A, US.-educated Japanese news- Paper editor said only the death of an Emperor could have com- manded similar attertion in the nation’s press. , Kuboyama was one of 23 fisher- men accidentally dusted by radio- active ash in U.S. H-bomb tests at Bikini March 1. Diagnosis Made Japanese doctors said he died of Jaundice resulting from radiation sickness and Japanese physicians who performed an autopsv fixed Tadiation sickness as the funda- mental cause of death. A U.S. Army doctor who watched the autopsy, Lt. Col. James L. Hansen, said he “could not dis- ne with the preliminary find- gs. He added, however, that he would want to await a complete Pathological examination before making final judgment. Some U.S. scientists have said Kuboyama’s jaundice could have Tesulted from a hepatitis infection introduced through blood trans- fusions. No U.S. doctors were allowed to examine carefully either Kuboya- ma or the other fishermen, all of whom are still under treatment here. Envoy Sends Check U.S. Ambassador John M. Alli- son sent his personal sympathy to Kuboyama’s widow, along with a check for one million yen (about $2,700). ‘ “While no sum of money can compensate for your loss it is the desire of the government of the United States that something be done to make life easier for you and your children in the future,” Allison wrote. Foreign Minister Katsuo Okazaki said after a special Cabinet meet- ing that a tentative damage claim of five million yen ($13,500) for the Kuboyama family was dis- cussed. The United States has offered Japan one million dollars in deny. ages for the 23 crewmen and fo’ other losses resulting from the H. bomb tests. Japan is reported ask- ing five to seven million dollars, Airlines’ Growth Noted In Report WASHINGTON (# — The nation’s scheduled airlines, domestic and international, figure they now car- Ty more passengers greater dis- tances ina single month than they earried during all of 1940. This estimate appeared today in a statement by Earl D. Johnson, President of the Air Transport Assn., the organization of sched- uled airlines. Johnson estimated that the scheduled airlines this year will carry 34 million passengers about 19 billion passenger miles. This would be an increase over last year of 9.7 per cent in passen- ers, and 7.4 per cent in passenger- miles.

Conly, M.D. 903 Washington Street TELEPHONE 32-7922 Will Resume the Practice of The World WASHINGTON (# — The United States and Russia can’t get along even’ on President Eisenhower's Proposal for a world pool of atomic materials for peaceful uses, set up under an international agency. He first made the suggestion last Dec. 8 before the United Na- tions. So that the United States and Russia wouldn’t get into a public Propaganda fight over it, he sug- gested the two countries discuss the idea quietly. They did and got nowhere. Final- ly, impatient with the delay, Ei- senhower on Sept. 6 said this coun- try and some other nations, but not Russia, had agreed to go ahead and set up the international agency, Yesterday, more than 10 months after Eisenhower offered his idea at the U.N., Secretary of State Dulles addressed the same world organization on the same subject. What he said was not essentially different from what Eisenhower al- ready had said. He did say, as Eisenhower had, that this country was going ahead without the Rus- sians who could come in if they wanted to. Why wouldn’t the Russians come in? All the details of the discus- sions between Washington and Moscow are not known, Dulles said Living Cost Drops During Month Of Aug. WASHINGTON (®—The cost of living dropped 0.2 per cent Jast month because of marked down Price tags on food—especially meats—and clothing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced today. In each of the preceding three months the figure had edged up- ward. - The August consumer price in- dex dropped to exactly the same level as in August, 1953, at 115 per cent of the 1947-49 average. Food prices dipped 0.6 per cent in August, the bureau said, and weakness in food prices in the early weeks of this month indi- cates the September average will be at least as low. Food shoppers found price de- creases for every cut of meat, re- Hlecting bigger shipments of live- stock-to market. Pork showed the biggest decline; bacon, pork chops and leg of lamb were about 4% per cent lower than in July. Fresh fruits and vegetables also Wagieegheaper, but the price drovs per-cent for tomatoes, 17 per cent for sweet potatoes and green poy 7 per cent for peaches— weré mainly adjustments from the high July prices resulting from fought in many areas. The dry sat ys effect on food prices was pe main reason for the slight ad- ance in costs in July. Parents. outfitting children for school found that children’s shoes were up an average of 50 cents a pair in August although clothing costs generally were down. Nylon hose, lingerie, men’s suits and work gloves were among the lower items. The living cost decline brought no change in the sliding scale pay contracts of about a million rail- Toad workers. The long sustained stability of the index has meant no cost-of-living adjustment for the rail workers for 15 months. About a million workers in the auto, air- craft and farm equipment indus- tries got a penny-an-hour boost last month out of the three-month rise that ended with July. Today By James Marlow he was willing for them to be made public. But the State Departmen. ..| previously disclosed, and Dulles | repeated it yesterday, the No. 1 stumbling block was a demand by the Russians that: Before there could be a world Pool of atomic materiais for peace- ful uses, this country must agree to outlaw the atomic and hydro- gen bombs. That was an old one which the United States wouldn’t accept the first time the Russians offered it, and that was years ago when the two countries could not agree on world disarmament. This country took the position that an agreement among coun- tries they would never use the bomb was not enough, because it left the door wide open for any country to cheat. The United States insisted on a system of international inspection which could make sure — since the inspectors could dig around in every nation — that no nation had kept any atomic bombs and that none was making them. Eisenhower had proposed an international agency — he didn’t suggest it be part of the United Nations — to handle a world pool of peaceful atomic materials. Dul- les yesterday said he hoped the agency could be in business next year. Eisenhower said that as details for the international Pool are being worked out, this country would set up an atomic reactor school here “to help train representatives of friendly nations in skills needed for their own atomic programs.” Dulles said yesterday this coun- try will open its reactor training school next year for students of other nations to learn the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Dulles added this, apparently a late development in the govern- ment’s thinking since Eisenhower hadn’t mentioned it: “The calling of an international scientific conference to consider this whole vast subject” — atomic materials for peaceful use — next spring “‘under the auspices of the United Nations.” This would bring the U.N. into the picture — part way, at least— although it’s doubtful the United States would want, any time soon, to see the proposed international agency in the U.N. where the Rus- sians might be able to wreck it without taking part in the agency. Dulles had previously described the Russians as being 99 per cent against Eisenhower’s proposal. But two days ago, when it learned Dul- les was going to make yesterday’s speech, Russia suggested more talks. Dulles didn’t sound optimistic that they would lead to anything.
