Japanese Girl Recalls Hii .i GREENSBORO Hideko Tamura was tired and lelt the strain ol the long trip from Hiroshima, Japan when she arrived a few weelcs ago at Bennett College. But it was nothing like the “bewilderment’’ she had experi enced after the morning the fateful atomic bomb fell, wiped away her home, and took the life of her mother. “Decco”, as she is known a- mong her family and affectiona tely referred to by the Bennett girls, has a vivid memory for the catastrophe. “The bomb fell August 6- 8:15 a. m.,” she said. > “I was in bed with a stomach ache. About 30 minutes be fore the radio had said war planes were coming. Well, that was usual. In a few minutes they said they were gone - go back to work.” "Decco” then described the bomb blast which she said was like the earthquakes in Tokyo where she was born. “First thing I know there was a white and yellowish light-I was frightened to deatb-the next second 1 heard an exploding sound-It seemed very long. “I thought I would die^but 1 did not want to die. It became dark and everjrthing collapsed. After the shaking stopped, I was lost. Little by little the air cleared. “I cried help, and nobody answered. Continuing to de scribe the frightful experi ence, “Decco” recalled with hesitant choices for the proper big fell and hit me “I was hurt by glasses-I used my finger to pull out the glasses- it was painful and I was bloody and thirsty. “I saw many bloody and burn ed...I could not tell who they were though they were my neighbors. Women were creep ing on the ground, crying help- in a small voice-gasping like.” Many of the bomb victims still have “glasses” in their body, “Decco” said. The doctors are afraid to operate, she explained. After the explosion, (Decco has little concept of the time in terval ) those able to walk began “escape to the direction where they did not see any fire. “I followed the group...we changed directions....took a zig zag course to avoid the fire and reached the river and escaped." For two or three days, she said, she followed the crowd and was finally taken in by a man who sent for her father. “Decco’s” mother was at “du ty” work for the city in a big concrete building when the bomb exploded and died Instant ly- But for a twist of fate the Bennett freshman, then 10 years old, and her mother would have missed the explosion. “Decco” and other Japanese children had been evacuated to the country for safety. However, the day before the bomb was dropped, the child had returned to Hiroshima by her mother. “I had tooth trouble”, she said, explaining why she was re turned to the city. Why did Hideko Tamura come to America and Bennett College? TTie Rev. James H. Robinson, pastor of the Presby terian Church of the Master, New York City, was in Japan on tour and visited Hiroshima Jagakuin High School, a Metho dist mission institution, consi dered the best girls school in Japan. “Decco’’ told the Hev.

Such was the assurance given President Ashby B. Carter on November 1, 1952 at a conferer>ce that took place in the library of the Mom- ingside Heights residence of the President-elect in New York City, The assurance was. given in forthright terms following Car ter's recital of a brief history of the National Alliance of Pos tal Employees, its "raison d’etre” and its truly democratic object ives. Carter presented to Gen eral Ei.senhowcr a copy of the Labor Day Statement, THE NA TIONAL' ALLIANCE AF POS TAL EMPLOYEES SPEAKS’, which stressed the necessity of having representation of the group for which the Alliance speaks in policy making and ad ministrative positions in the Post Office Department, In his statement to the Gen eral, Carter said, "It leemj to us that the departmental ofiUcaJa are unaware of th« changes thart are taking place in today's world. They are in need of that understanding that can come only from those who are the un just victims of the undemocra tic practice* of which we com plain. Because they lack that understanding, members of the Alliance have become vicitms of perverted charges of disloyalty tnd continue to be victims of discriminatory acts that officials refuse to ^ or recognize.” General Eisenhower voiced appreciation for the presenta tion of our statement and views and exiiibited a remarkable knowledge of thie problems of all civil service employees, in cluding those of the Alliance membership. Then, without any equivoca tion whatsoever, he gave to Pres ident Carter the assurance that he would take definite and pos itive action to correct the irreg ularities enumerated in the Al liance’s Labor Day Statement.
