FOREIGN
AFFAIRS
By DEWITT MacKENZIE
■P) foreign Affairs Analyst
Just before Japan's inquiry a-
bout peace terms, the Tokyo Ra-
dio war directing a barrage of
name calling again*! the Allic.
because of bombing—"barbaric,
"savage." “inhuman" and what
not.
The Jap spokesmen also were
surprisingly "frank" in broad- .
casting do the outside world ben.
not to the home public the effects
of that first historic atomic bomb
on Hiroshima—hov. every living
thing, both human and animal,
was destroyed. !t was calcu-
lated to make one's flesh creep-
and certainly had consideiabn'
success.
The best answer I know to all
this IS ft little story, in which th<;
central figure is Paul Tit* *
Miami. Fla., who piloted the It-'"1
carrying the atomic bomb t" Hu-
shinta. It well illustrates th( <
of the American airman.....nl the
Allied Airmen, tor that mattci
1 r. n into Til 'be! back in (V
ober. 1942. in England when I *•
was just getting under way on the
distinguished career that has
has weighted down ins chest with
decorations.
I had a long talk with the young
officer at his headquarters, and
deliberately steered the convei
sation around to his reactions to
the Job of bombim. He told nv
that while he was waiting for his
first raid he was sick over the
thoughts of the civilians who
might suffer from the bomb
dropped bv his machine.
"That feeling probably dates
back to my training days," he
remarked. “We had it hammered
into us constantly 1 hat in practice
ue must watch out for folks In
neath us. This reaction per-1 ted
through my first three rains. Fin-
ally I i "i u ed to thi it..... but I
n cautious. When 1 look at a
U,000-pound bomb in the bay of
Iliv ship 1 know a lot ot people
may get hurt. My anxiety i ba-
the women and kids.'
The Colonel paused end hi.-
cyes sought the horizon. Then
hesitatingly:
“You see 1 have a three year
old boy of my own at home. 1
Irate to think of him playing near
a bomber factory. That makes
me careful.”
That sort of thing makes you
proud of our fighting code It
does seem odd that fate should
have selected Tibbet: for the
Hiroshima mission, although tin
city was an out-and-out military
target. But maybe fate wasn’t
crazy, at that, for Thibet*' ethics
are a good answer to the Japan*•-.(
charges of barbarism.
