Mayor, survivor of blast, calls for summit
United Press International
HIROSHIMA, Japan — Under dark clouds and rain, more than
30,000 Japanese clasped hands in a memorial service Wednesday in
Hiroshima, a southern Japanese city where 35 years ago the clocks
stopped ominously at 8:15 a.m. — victim of the world’s first atomic
bomb attack.
A Buddhist temple bell tolled as the participants bowed their heads
and held hands in a one-minute silent prayer in the city’s peace park for
the 140,000 people who perished from the single bomb dropped by a
U.S. B-29 bomber. Thousands of doves fluttered overhead.
The explosion of the equivalent of 20,000 tons of TNT instantly
wiped out nearly one-third of the city’s population of 265,000.
Thousands of others died later from burns and radioactive after-effects.
“On that day, Hiroshima took the brunt of the age of nuclear war, in
an infernal and scorching blast,’’ Hiroshima Mayor Takeshi Arald said
in a prepared statement at the memorial ceremony, which was
attended by about 100 foreign pacifists.
The mayor, himself a survivor of the nuclear holocaust at Hiroshima,
called for a “peace summit” of the United States, the Soviet Union and
other nations.
“It is now high time for us to call for the solidarity of all mankind, and
to shift our common path away from self-destruction towards survival,”
the mayor said in a somber voice.
Of the 265,000 residents of Hiroshima at the time of bombing,
78,150 were killed, according to an official U.S. estimate based on
figures gathered by Japanese police months later.
But three years ago a U.N. agency estimated 140,000 people in
Hiroshima were either killed by the bomb immediately or died of the
effects of radiation before the end of 1945.
“If I live a hundred years, I’ll never quite get those few minutes out
of my mind,” wrote Capt. Robert A. Lewis, co-pilot of the “Enola Gay”
the bomber which dropped the “Little Boy, ” as the homb was dubbed.
From the radioactive rubble 35 years ago, Hiroshima has become
the 10th largest city in Japan, boasting a population of 800,000 and a
thriving economy.
Greeneries and broad avenues abound in the port city, which has
maintained only a few reminders of the bomb including a cenotaph
memorial in the peace park, the center of blast.
“Rest In Peace — The Error Shall Not Be Repeated,” the cenotaph
inscription reads.
“We must strive to banish war and nuclear weapons,” pledged
Cabinet Chief Secretary Kiichi Miyazawa, who attended the memorial
service on behalf of Prime Minister Zenko Suzuki.
Suzuki told reporters Tuesday he has instructed his Foreign Minis
try to look into the Hiroshima proposal for a peace summit.

Italy mours victims
of right wing bombing
United Press International
Iran turned its anger Wednesday
toward Britain’s “bloodsucking”
bobbies for jailing a group of pro-
Khomeini Iranians in London who
copied the tactics of 192 imprisoned
countrymen in the United States by
refusing to identify themselves and
threatening to go on hunger strike.
The protesters, arrested at a de
monstration outside the American
Embassy in Grosvenor Square, were
ordered jailed for a week Tuesday,
hours before American authorities
released all but one of the 192 sup
porters of Iranian strongman Ayatol
lah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Thirty more Iranians in the United
States also refused to identify them
selves to authorities in San Diego
Tuesday and face charges of unlawful
assembly, participating in a riot, and
resisting arrest, following a demon
stration at San Diego State Univer
sity.
The 191, arrested at a demonstra
tion in Washington 11 days ago, were
released from federal prisons in New
York after agreeing to identify them
selves, and U.S. immigration au
thorities said only three were found
to be “out of status” and faced depor
tation proceedings.
Earlier, Iran’s parliament said its
debate on the fate of the 52 American
hostages, now held for 278 days, was
being delayed because of the alleged
mistreatment of demonstrators by
U.S. police.
The speaker of parliament said the
hostages should be tried as spies to
show the United States “we are not
scared.”
Iran’s official Pars news agency
bitterly reacted to the arrests in
London.
“While the demonstration was
peaceful and our Moslem sisters and
brothers were protesting the harass
ment of Iranian students in the Un
ited States, the bloodsucking British
police, with whips in their hands and
riding horseback, attacked the inno
cent students, injuring them with
whips beneath the horses’ hooves,”
Pars said.
In all, 72 Iranians were arrested
outside the U.S. Embassy, and Scot
land Yard said 14 police officers were
injured in scuffles.
In appearances at two courts Tues
day afternoon, only four of the 72
agreed to provide their names to the
judges. The remaining men identi
fied themselves as Ali Ali, and the
women as Fatima, saidp;

ROME — Police Wednesday
hunted for a right-wing fanatic who
witnesses say they saw fleeing the
Bologna railroad station minutes be
fore a bomb wrecked the terminal
and killed 77 people.
Italy officially commemorated the
victims of the nation’s worst terrorist
attack Wednesday with a national
day of mourning marked by mass
prayer, fasts and flags flying at half-
staff.
Police sources said Tuesday night
they were looking for Marco Affatiga-
to, a fugitive extreme rightist consi
dered a prime suspect in Saturday’s
bombing.
Affatigato, who was thought to
have been living in France, had close
links with a rightist extremist facing
trial for the 1974 bombing that killed
12 passengers and injured 48 on a
train near Bologna, the sources said.
Sources close to the investigation
said Affatigato resembled a man wit
nesses said they saw leave several
suitcases in the station’s waiting
room shortly before the explosion
sent tons of masonry crashing down
on vacation travelers.
The similarity between a compo
site sketch of the man survivors said
they saw and a photo of Affatigato
strengthens police suspicions the
bombing was the work of extreme
rightists, who have launched many
attacks against the state-run rail
roads.
Woman claims false arml

United Press International
NEW YORK — A college student who wants to
attend law school and be a police officer in Dallas sued
New York City officials for $500,000 Wednesday, charg
ing she was falsely arrested for prostitution as she stood
outside a Bronx garage last month.
Lois Nash, a 24-year-old student from Brooklyn who
attends the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said
her car broke down near the Spofford youth facility
about 1 a.m. July 25 and she hiked to a nearby garage at
630 Hunts Point Ave.
While waiting outside the garage for a mechanic to go
with her to the disabled car, she said, two uniformed
police officers — identified in court papers as Lester
Rednick and Neil Invitto — arrested her for loitering for
the purposes of prostitution.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in.MiJj
Nash and the American Civil Liberties l*

WASHINGTON — President
Carter has signed a new directive
that modifies U.S. strategy in nuc
lear war to emphasize destruction of
Soviet military targets and command
centers rather than cities, defense
officials said Wednesday.
The document is “presidential
directive No. 59” and was reportedly
signed by President Carter in the last
two weeks.
The shift in emphasis away from
massive retaliation towards what De
fense Secretary Harold Brown calls
“countervailing strategy” began
under Defense Secretary James
Schlesinger in 1974.
The theory is that retaliating
against the Soviet Union by striking
its major cities and industrial centers
is too drastic an option for the nuc
lear age of today.
Rather, U.S. military planners
have been pressing this and other
administrations to develop a doc
trine for striking Soviet military
targets and command centers and
developing the means to do so.
Over the last three years, the
administration has been moving in
this direction by developing more
accurate nuclear weapons such as the
M K- I2A warhead being deployed on
Minuteman III missiles and with the
Navy’s new Trident I missile.
