Carl A. Spaatz said additional details would not be disclosed until the mission returns. The official announcement did not specify that only one atomic bomb had been dropped on Nagasaki.

Cecelia Parish. Msgr. T. J. Deasy Dies At Mariemont Hospital After Long Illness.

Msgr. Timothy J. Deasy, pastor of St. Cecelia Church, Oakley, for 37 years, one of the most beloved Catholic priests in the community, died last night at Our Lady of Mercy Hospital, Mariemont, after an illness of several months. Arrangements are being made for Pontifical Requiem High Mass.

Msgr, Deasy, born July 13, 1874, on West Third Street, near Mill Street, was a son of John and Margaret Deasy, he received his early education in Cincinnati and, after hi ordination, devoted his life to the educational and spiritual advancement of his native city. His education began in St. Patrick Grade School, a small building at Third and Mill Streets, which lor.g since has been replaced by busine property. After gradu ating rom St. Xavier College, he attendea Urban College of the Propaganda in Rome from 1892 to 1898, receiving degrees of Doctor of Divinity and Doctor of Philosophy.

Ordained in the Holy City June 4, 1898. he returned to Cincinnati and parsed the first 10 years of his priesthood teaching at Mt. St. Mary Seminary, then on Price Hill. He served as professor of introduction to the Sciiptures and church history for six years and professor of philosophy for four years.

In July, 1908, the young priest was assigned to establish a parish in Oakley, then a small village on the outskirts of the city. He rallied his few parishioners and erected a email frame building which became St Cecelia Church. The churcn was enlarged and improved as the community grew, and in 1928 the pres ent oeautitul Gothic structure was completed.

Concrete Air Raid Shelters, Only Buildings Standing, Burned Out Inside. Guam, Aug. 9 (Thursday) (AP) Japanese perished by uncounted thousands from the searing, crush ing atomic blast that annihilated 60 per cent of the 343,000 popula tion city of Hiroshima Monday, photographic and other evidence indicated today. Tokyo radio, which said that "all living things, human and animal, were literally seared to death," reported that authorities were still unable to check the total casual ties. Photographs showed that not even stout concrete structures in the heart of the city, presumed to have been air raid shelters, es caped.

The structures still stood but apparently were burned out inside. Both Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, who announced from his Strategic Air Force headquarters that 60 per cent of Hiroshima had been "completely destroyed," and Tokyo radio warned that more atomic bombings could be expected. CENTER OF CITY CRUSHED.

Spaatz declared that other Su perforts were ready to follow the B-29 "Enola Gay" which Col. Paul W. Tibbets Jr. of Miami, pi loted over Hiroshima to drop war's newest and most devasting weapon. Tokyo radio, which referred to the bomb only as something new in its home broadcasts, urged the Japanese to keep their spirits firm and predicted that a defense against the bombs would be developed.

Tokyo referred to the bomb as "atomic" in Its foreign broadcasts. Spaatz announced that reconnaissance photographs showed that 4.1 square miles of Hiroshima's built-up area of 6.9 square miles were destroyed and that the destroyed area included five major industrial targets. The photographs disclosed that the damage extended boyond the area of complete destruction. Except for the fire-blackened concrete structures, the center of the city was utterly crushed and burned. The mighty force had smashed it flat.

The only section that appeared to have escaped was the haibor area. Buildings there were still standing. JAV CABINET MEETS. Officers at B-29 headauarters who had studied the photoeraphs esti mated that the damage from the single bomb, which was described as so small that a fighter plane might have carried it. eaualed that of an ordinary 150-Superfort raid.

The searing, white blast, which crewmen on Tibbets's plane declared was brighter than the sun, flashed across the, widest fire breaks which the Japanese had prepared against incendiary raids. The Japanese Cabinet was called into emergency session as soon as it had sufficient information from Hiroshima but there was no report that it had taken any action. TWO YOUTHS Caught In 15 Minutes After Cigar Store On Main Street Is Robbed Holdup Admitted By Both, Tolice Say. Less than 15 minutes after the armed holdup of the Kusnick Cigar Store, 415 Main last night, in which they slugged the owner and escaped with the contents of the cash register, two Detroit youths were arrested by detectives and a patrolman and admitted the crime, police said. Under arrest and charged with armed robbery in warrants sworn to by John Fugazzl, owner of the store, were Harvey William Dennis, 18, and Walter William Dumas, 17, who told police that they arrived in Cincinnati from Detroit at noon yesterday ana aeciaea to rob a place to get money to go to Texas.

They had 14 cents when they "hit town," they said. Entering the cigar store where Fugazzl was alone, Dumas pointed an unloaded revolver at the owner and then struck him on his head with it while Dennis was behind the counter looting the register, both men admitted. Pointed out to Safety Patrolman Rex Burdsal, first to arrive at the robbery scene, and Detective Sergeant Ben Schaefer and Detective Jacob Schott, by Bert Yockey 3206 Ramona Circle, a salesman for the Rudolph Wurlitzer who saw them run from the cigar store, the youths were arrested by the three officers at the Greyhound Bus Station, Fifth and Sycamore Streets. The revolver and $33, which they admitted had been taken from the store, were found in their possession, police said. Cincinnati handbooks are being moved from business rooms into private residences.

This was revealed last night after the police gambling squad raided a residence at 1716 Berkley Bond Hill, where, according to Sgt. Russell Jones, head of the gambling squad, a handbook clearing house had been established. In the Berkley Avenue house Detectives Harry Batter, Leslie Thompson and Thomas Kaufman confiscated a number of sheets containing records of race horse bets and pay-off data, and arrested Ed-mond Pichel, 41, 686 Gholson Avondale, who, the officers said, was in charge of the place. Pichel told detectives that he was an "engineer." He will be tried In Police Court this morning on two charges pos sessing race horse slips and possessing pay-off slips. Migration of the bookies into residential neighborhoods was attributed by Sergeant Jones to inability of the operators to obtain telephones In business buildings.

The Bond Hill raid was part of a FACE SAVING Visioned For Japs In News Of Soviet War Declaration On Nips. Reaction In Guam Exciting As Servicemen Gather To Discuss Event. Guam, Aug. 9 (Thursday) (INS) News of Russia's declaration of war on Japan provoked excited speculation in Guam today as to whether this might not serve as a face-saving "out" for the Japanese warlords. Unofficial observers at this great United States Pacific base agreed unanimously that, coupled with the atomic bomb, Russia's action would surely shorten the war.

They speculated over the chances of a Japanese capitulation in the face of the overwhelming forces now arrayed against Nippon, thus averting the necessity of a large- scale amphibious invasion of the enemy homeland. Word that Russia had thrown her strength into the Far East conflict reached Guam at 5 a. m. today (East Longitude date). Up to a.

m. there was no of ficial Guam reaction, with corre spondents unable to contact Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz or Gen. Carl A.

Spaatz at that hour. The armed fork's radio aired the news of the Soviet declaration at the "wakeup hour." At breakfast small groups of servicemen gathered to discuss the event and its implications. Nearly all had expected the Soviet entry into the fight against Japan, but few had believed it would come at this time three months after the close of the European war. Following so closely on the un veiling of America's atomic bomb, the impact of the news regarding Russia's war declaration was not so strong in the Pacific theater as it might have been if it had come earlier. There was no indication that American military plans aimed at invading Japan would be notably altered due to the Russian action.

Up until yetterday American planes, ranging along the Korean coast, had flown within a handful of miles of Vladivostok, but care fully avoided approaching within sight of that Soviet port because of Russia's neutrality, now at an end. to continue under Allied supervision. It is not recognized by any of the occupying powers, although it came into existence with the permission of the Russian forces that liberated Austria. Gen. Mark Clark, who commanded United States forces in Italy, Is the American military commissioner for Austria.

Vienna will be occupied jointly by the four powers. Warships Bombard Targets On Wake Island B-29s Pound Four Cities. Guam, Aug. 9 (Thursday) (AP) Adm.

William F. Halsey'g Third Fleet returned to its terrific carrier-plane devastation of the Japanese homeland today, adding its weight to 400-plane B-29 raids, the wrecking of Hiroshima with the world's first atomic homo and entry of Russia Into the war against Japan. Adm. Chester W. Nimitz's communique reported that American and British carrier pilots launched "strong attacks" on shipping, air Installations and other military targets on the northern part of Honshu Island at dawn.

The attacks are continuing, Nimitz said, and announced that a battleship and lesser fleet units shelled Wake Island yesterday, de-atroying ammunition dumps and antiaircraft emplacements and inflicting other damage. WARNED OF NEW BLOW. More than 400 Supcrforts, intensifying the fury of attacks while the high command prepares for its next atomic bombing, cascaded fire and demolition bombs yesterday on four cities. It was the third atraight day B-29s had attacked the enemy homeland. The carrier plane strike followed by approximately 20 hours a Navy Department warning from Washington that Halsey's Third Fleet was off the Japanese homeland and would strike again soon.

Although Nimitz did not identify Halsey's targets, it was believed that wave after wave of his planes were aiming bombs against approximately 20 air fields. The attack on Wake was strictly a surface bombardment. There was no report of Japanese interference, although they replied briefly with antiaircraft guns. SIZE OF FORCE UNREPORTED. The number of American and British aircraft participating in the Honshu strikes was not disclosed.

However, it is known that the combined American and British carrier forces are able to n.ount an attack of 1,500 planes under good conditions. Halsey's last attack was July 30, When carrier planes struck the Japanese naval base at Maizuru and the Tokyo area. In their attacks from July 10 to 30, carrier pilots knocked out more than 1,000 Japanese ships and small craft and destroyed or damaged approximately 1,300 aircraft. Northern Honshu, besides having from 20 to 25 operational air fields, has a secondary naval base with a fleet anchorage at Ominato on the northern tip. There also are a number of seaplane bases and several naval fuel depots.

There also are 14 ports of some significance. At least one battleship and lighter units, bombarded installations on Wake Island yesterday. They destroyed two ammunition dumps and antiaircraft emplacements, and various buildings, said. Only eight days earlier, on August 1, another battleship and lesser fleet units had bombarded Wake, in an attack coordinated with a carrier plane strike. SUB CHASER BAGGED.

Monday, carrier planes again attacked Wake, tiny Pacific island for which U. S. Marines fought desperately against overwhelming Japanese air, sea and land forces early In the war. Elsewhere, aircraft under Nim-itz's command ranged from the Kuriles to Tap and the Palaus. Privateers of Fleet Airwing One on Tuesday sank 5,000 tons of Japa nese shipping in the Tsushima Straits between Korea and Japan.

Their bag included a submarine chaser, four small cargo vessels, a trawler and a 200-ton motor echooner. They damaged 500 tons of shipping, including four small cargo vessels, a trawler and a sailing vessel. Five Jpanese planes attempted a Jiredawn raid at Okinawa Monday. Antiaircraft fire destroyed one and probably two more. THE WEATHER Washington, Aug.

the Nagasaki mission. But as at Hiroshima where the Japs said "practically all" life had been oblit eratedit was believed only one. B-29 carried out the Nagasaki blow, Its crew probably was made up of Col. Paul W. Tibbets of Miami, and his specially trained men the same group that gave the atom bomb its fearful debut over Hiroshima.

The first atomic bomb destroyed more than 60 per cent 4.1 square miles of Hiroshima, city of 343,000 population, Monday, and Radio Tokyo reported "practically every living thing" there was annihilated. Nagasaki, which had 211,000 population 10 years ago, is an Important shipping and railway center. It was hit first by China-based B-29s a year ago this month and was heavily attacked by Far East Air Force bombers and fighters only last July 31 and on the following day. SMALLER THAN HIROSHIMA. Nagasaki, althuogh only two-thirds as large as Hiroshima in population, is considered more important industrially.

With a popu lation now estimated at $255,000, its 12 square miles are jam-packed with eave to eave buildings which won it the name "sea of roofs." It was vitally important as a port for transshipment of military supplies and the embarkation of troops in support of Japan's operations in China, Formosa, Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific. It was highly Important as a major shipbuilding and repair center for both naval and merchantmen. The city also Included industrial suburbs of Inase and Akunoura on the western side of the harbor and Urakami. The combined area is nearly double Hiroshima's. News Maker! Washington, Aug.

8 (AP) President Truman has electrified the world on three distinct occasions since he entered the White House 119 days ago. Less than a month after taking office on April 12, he announced Germany's unconditional surrender and the end of the war In Europe. Last Monday he released the epoch-making story of the atomic bomb. And today he announced that Russia had declared war on Japan. Truman Pulls Coup At Potsdam Parley To Line Up Ally Washington, Aug.

8 (AP) Mighty Russia, battle-toughened in victory over Germany, went to war tonight against Axis Japan. America and her allies applauded and counted on the early doom of 1,342 DAYS SINCE PEARL the enemy of the Pacific. Russia declared war at the request of the United States, Britain and China, as of August 9, which, bv Moscow HARBOR tlme WQUld be 4 today in Cincinnati, CWT. President Truman announced the decision in midafternoon. James F.

Byrnes, Secretary of State, followed through with a declaration that there is "still time-but little time for the Japanese to save themselves from the destruction which threatens them." RUSSIA ACTS AS ALLY. Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov proclaimed in Moscow that Russia had been "true to her duty as an ally." Swift and sure was Washington's reaction that the Soviet decision to fight once more, plus the unwrapping of the terrible new weapon of atomic bombing, signities that Japan cannot long persist in fighting. For not only are Russian legions set to strike on the Asiatic main land, but Russia's Siberian air bases are available for loosing bombs on the near-by Nipponese islands. Japan thus was all but cut off from the continent, from its rich supplies, and the fastness from which she might have hoped to prolong her resistance. WHATCHA KNOW, JOE! Washington, Aug.

8 (AP) Commenting on Russia's entrance into the war with Japan, Sen. Alexander Wiley, Republican, Wisconsin, said: "The atomic bomb which hit Hiroshima also blew Joe off the fence." Byrnes voiced a hope in a formal statement that "the people of Japan will now realize that further resistance to the forces of the nations now united in the enforcement of law and justice will be futile." Byrnes didn't call it an ultimatum but government agencies set to work to get the word to the Japanese people. Byrnes disclosed that President Truman had put it squarely up to Russia at the Big Three conference at Potsdam to team up again with the Allies with whom she operated so successfully against Germany. Mr. Truman cited a section of the United Nations Charter which gives to Russia, Britain, China, France and the United States the duty of enforcing world peace until a new world organization is ready to take over tbe task, MISSOURI BOY MAKES GOOD.

Mr, Truman cited, too, the Moscow declaration of October 30, 1943, in which Russia, Britain, China and the United States agreed to consultation among themselves and with other powers "with a view to joint action on behalf of the community of nations." Then, Byrnes, said, Mr. Truman told Soviet Premier Stalin: "It seems to me that under the Continued On Page 7, Column S. tion Is a terse, one-page proclama tion. This is the Instrument that the U. S.

Senate adopted by an 89-2 vote, with Sens. Henrlk Shipstead, Republican, Minnesota, and William Langer, Republican, North Dakota, against it. Byrnes and the President Joked about the pen they used for the ceremony. The Secretary rejected a dime store pen and took one of the more expensive desk modds. Mr.

Truman, however, stuck by the cheap one for his three signatures. The Charter, drafted By oo na tions, must be ratified and de posited with this government by at least 28 nations before it becomes effective. The next step here will be formal appointment of Edward R. Stettlnius former Secretary of State, as the U. S.

So far none of the bookmakers has taken advantage of his offer, the Police Chief said. Declaring that he had "some kind of plan in mind" for dealing with handbooks, but declining to disclose its particulars, Chief Weath erly yesterday revealed that last Monday he had in his office a bookmaker who purportedly had been boasting that he was "paying off." "I requested him to make such a charge to me, but he refused," Chief Weatherly said. "Either they should come to my office and file Continued On Page 9, Column 4.
