THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1945 THE JOURNAL, PLATTS MOUTH, NEBRASKA PACE THREE Truman Sold Stalin on War Against Japs; Atomic Bomb Probably Speeded EDITOR'S NOTE: The following dispatch is by the United Fres staff correspond ent who has covered the White House throughout the war and who accompanied President Truman to Potsdam. BY MERR1MAN SMITH WASHINGTON, 0).P Sov iet participation in the Pacific war was explored by President Roosevelt at Yalta, clinched by President Truman at Potsdam, and then probably speeded up by dis closure that this country had per fected the atomic bomb. That is the sequence of events toward the climactic pha-e of the war as indicated by high official quarters. At the Yalta conference of the Bir Three in February, President ! Roosevelt rr.av have obtained a' w . i I'iitual promise of Russian entry ;nto the war after Germany was finished. The extent of any such commitment at that time remains to be revealed. Aside from this country' views, it was the opin ion of most observers that Rus sia's self-interest ultimately would bring her into the war. At any rate, when Truman went to Potsdam last month he was confident that the Russians would come in. He knew that this was one of the cards that would have to be taken into account in bargaining on things that the Russians wanted. But that was all right, too, because his para mount interest, reiterated many times, was above all else to bring the war to the fastest possible conclusion and thus save as many American lives as possible. At Potsdam ,the American desire for Russian participation in the Japanese war was for malized by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes Wednesday night. A memorandum of the president's views was presented to Generalissimo Jcsef Stalin. Stalin's formal reply is not available. Eat the facts that the top American, Britu-h and Russian military commanders held confer ences at Potsdam and that Russia has now entered the war speak for themselves. ' There was every indication, however, that the highest quar ters here were taken by surprise Aphen the declaration came from Moscow Ihursday. lhey appar ently had not expected it until later, perhaps not for some weeks. An important official express ed belief that success of the American atomic bomb hastened Russian participation. He reason ed that with this great weapon in use against Japan, the Russ ian? might have decided they could go ahead without perfect ing all the preparations that they might previously have counted necessary. Or perhaps the Russ ians wanted to be certain to be in before there was a sudden Jap anese surrender. It is not believed that the Russians were told in advance that this country and Britain were working on the atomic bomb. Jeston D. Atteberry in Training at Great Lakes GREAT LAKES, ILL.

Atom Bomb Huge Responsibility, Says Omaha Prof j OMAHA, 0I.R) Dr. William j H. Thompson, head of the psycho : logical testing laboratory at the' University of Omaha, Thursday j warned that unless the atomic ! bomb can be eeared for a con structive world, the weapon will write the history of this age as the last chapter of man. "The atomic bomb is an illus-j tration of the debt owed to the laboratories of the universities of; this country," Thompson said. "If the bomb cuts short the war with i Japan by one day," he said, "all j public and private support of the' universities has been justified." j He said the new instrument of' death brings new responsibilities for the development of humanity j and social sciences in order that the complete destruction of civilization may not be the out come of man's struggle for peace. "Colleges and universities," he added, "as well as churches and all other institutions designed for mer.t have a staggering responsi- j bility. Unless the finest product i of human thinking, the atomic j bomb, can be geared for a con- j structive world, perhaps this new I weapon or some other agent of destruction will write the history of this age as the last chapter of . man."
