Hiroshima Marks
10th Anniversary
Of Its Destruction
HIROSHIMA, UP) —Hiroshima
marked the 10th anniversary of
its atomic destruction Saturday
with an appeal to the world
"never to repeat the tragedy.”
The birthday* of war’s first nu
clear bombing dawned hot, with a
few clouds dotting the sky, just
like Aug. 6, 1945.
Survivors of A-bomb victims
rose before dawn to secure places
close to the center of Nakashima
Peace Park, site of the anniver
sary ceremony.
As the sun rose, they burned
incense and strewed flowers at
the foot of the cenotaph, a white
stone arch bearing the inscrip
tion “Rest Ye In Peace, For We
(humanity) Shall Never Repeat
The Mistake.”
By 8 a.m. the crowd had grown
to 50,000. All was still. The in
stant of 8:15 brought not the
blinding flash and death of 1945
but the tolling of bells and sound
ing of whistles.
The throng knelt in prayer for
the dead and for peace.
Mayor Tadao Watanabe, in the
city’s annual peace declaration,
said, “We will continue to re
mind the world never to repeat
the tragedy of Hiroshima until
true world peace is established
eternally.”
Five hundred doves were re
leased he as spoke.
During memorial services, the
names of 523 Hiroshimans con
firmed the past year as atomic
bomb victims were added to
58,505 confirmed up to last year.
The only police count taken
says 78,150 died from the bomb
ing. City publications say the
bomb took from 240,000 to 260,
000 lives, including outsiders and
troops.

New National Glider
Distance Record of 270
Miles Set in California
PALMDALE, Calif., —A new
national glider distance record of
270 miles has been claimed by
Paul F. Binkle, a civilian worker
at nearby Edwards Air Force
Base.

Southwestern Soaring Regatta

Mirage Dry Lake to Essex, Calif.,
and back.
Regatta officials said this eclip

Softball Season
In Third Week
Of Round-Robin
Softball season is swinging into
the third week of the first round
robin. At present it’s a wild
scramble for honors. The Nome
Merchants, under the watchful
eye of manager Les Bronson, are
tied for first place with the Air
Force team, which is skippered
by Sgt. Kimsey. Both teams have
won four and lost one.
The Polar team, managed by
Bob Herman, is in second place
with two wins and three losses.
Sgt. Giz Powell’s SadSams are
next in line with one win and
three losses. The Bering Sea Club
team is in the cellar with one
win and four losses. Larry
Fagen, manager, is still in need
of players.
In Sunday’s double-header, the
red-hot Air Force team, sparked
by their ace catcher, Sid Cald
well, downed the hard-luck Ber
ing Sea Club 6-5 in a battle that
went into exjra innings. The sec
ond game was between the Mer
chants and the Polar. Bill Ny
strom blasted a home run and a
three-bagger, and Corky Kost
and Arnie Castell also homered
as the Merchants won 8-3.
Tonight’s game at Satellite
Field will be between the Air
Force and the SadSams.
Attendance at the games has
been rather low, probably due to
the transportation problem. The
games, however, are very spirited
and since the teams are so evenly
matched, the outcome is usually
a surprise.
The standings to date:
Won Lost
Merchants . 4 1
Air Force . 4 1
Polar .' 3 3
SadSams . 1 3
Bering Sea . 1 4

Richard Wien to
Make Bush Flights
For Wien Airlines
FAIRBANKS—Another Wien
took to the air recently.
To Alaskans, Wien is perhaps
the best known name in the world
of flying as far as the territory is
concerned. And if left up to the
Wiens, it is apt to continue that
way, through both fame and
numbers.
The newest Wien to take to the
commercial air lanes is Richard,
20-year-old son of Noel Wien, Al
aska’s most noted pioneer bush
pilot.
Richard started flying at 15,
soloed at 16, and just a few weeks
ago received his commercial pilot
license. And last month Richard
was hired by Wien Alaska Air
lines to fly the bush out of the
Arctic airstrip of Betties.
Richard’s family gives him a
heritage of aviation. His father,
Noel, came to Alaska in 1924 and
has been flying here ever since.
His three uncles, Sig, Fritz and
Ralph, have all been active in fly
ing in the territory. Ralph was
killed at Kotzebue in 1930, but
his uncle Sig is still flying and is
president and general manager of
Wien Alaska Airlines. His uncle
Fritz is vice president in charge
of operations for Wien.
Other members of the Wien
family flying in Alaska are Bob,
the son of Ralph, who flies the
bush out of Fort Yukon, and Rich
ard’s brother Merrill, who, before
called into the Air Force as a
pilot, flew for Pan American
World Airways.
Wien Alaska Airlines, which
pioneered flying in Alaska, now
serves over a quarter of a million
miles of the territory. In addition
to its regular hauls to the bush
areas, during past years Wien has
taken thousands of tourists
throughout the arctic and sub
arctic regions of the territory.
