United Press International
HARLINGEN — The pilot
who flew the B-29 that dropped
the atomic bomb on Hiroshima,
Japan, on Aug. 6, 1945, said
Thursday “the communists are
smiling over their vodka” at the
divisions within the United
States over military policy.
“As long as the communists
see us split the way we are, they
are smiling as they sut back and
drink vodka,” said retired Gen.
Paul Tibbetts, 68, of Colombus,
Ohio.
“We fought a war to make the
world safe for Democracy,” Tib
betts said. “Today I’m worried
whether my grandchildren and
great-grandchildren will enjoy
that privilege.”
Tibbetts was at the controls of
the B-29 “Enola Gay” that drop
ped the first A-bomb that pro
duced an explosion equivalent
to 20,GOO tons of TNT and
leveled Hiroshima.
The 9,000-pound bomb kil
led an estimated 78,000 people
in a matter of seconds and in
jured another 51,000 and was
instrumental, along with a
second A-bomb dropped on
Nagasaki, in forcing the
Japanese to surrender and end
World War II.
He repeated Thursday his
often-quoted statement that he
never has lost any sleep over his
role in dropping the bomb be
cause he believes the bomb
saved more lives than it took by
ending the war quickly.
Tibbetts said he has had no
access to classified information
since he retired 16 years ago, but
from what he has read and
heard from friends still in uni
form.
“My basic reaction is we are
not as well equipped as we could
be,” Tibbets said. “I don’t think
we’re prepared to fight a war,
because I don’t think we know
what kind of a war we would
fight. Korea and Vietnam
showed we are not prepared to
fight a war, that politically, we do
not intend to win. Somebody has
to make up their minds what
we’re going to do.
Since World War II, Tibbetts
said, the United States has had
only “one enemy” and that is
communism because it is di
ametrically opposed to demo
cracy. He said communism has
taken territory in Europe, the
Middle East, Africa and Central
America.
In the nuclear age, Tibbetts
said, readiness is more impor
tant than it was during the isola
tionism that preceded the attack
on Pearl Harbor that brought
the United States directly into
World War II.
Tibbets said the United State
would not have time to prepare
for World War III. “The only
thing they understand is
strength,” Tibbetts said. “The
time and the place will have to be
selected by our military strateg
ists.”

aid Thursday in its weekly re-

Cotton yields have

factor.
Colton harvesting was under
K'ay over most of Texas, from
Hoastal areas to tile South Plains
where a few early bales have
been ginned.
Cotton yields have ranged
irom fair to excellent over the
state, with weather being a ma
jor factor. Some cotton farmers
in western areas are applying
defoliants and drying agents to
prepare the crop for harvesting.
In addition to cotton, farmers
are also harvesting corn, grain
sorghum, sugar beets, soybeans,
sunflowers and peanuts.
Hay making continued in
southern areas, with some
second and third cuttings being
harvested in the Coastal Bend.
The demand for hay will be
great this fall and winter, parti
cularly in western areas where
hay feeding is already under
way due to the drought, the Ex
tension Service said.
The sugar cane crop is matur
ing in the Rio Grande Valley and
harvesting will start soon. The
Valley’s citrus crop looks good
and a few early oranges are
being picked.
Texas is boasting a bumper
pecan crop this year, with some
early varieties starting to hull,
the Extension Service said.
