Typhoon Hits
New Battleship
Near Okinawa
GUAM, Sunday, Aug. 12-(P)-The
new Battleship Alabama, it can now
be disclosed, was damaged by the
typhoon which hit the Third Fleet
near Okinawa June 5- wounded by
the elements after escaping un-
harmed two years of warring action
in the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Quickly Repaired
But, Fleet Headquarters announced
today, she "was quickly repaired and
once again she is adding to her rec-
ord of doing a big and tough job
quietly and efficiently."
The Alabama took part in 12 con-
3ecutive operations as one of the
screening ships of fast carrier task
forces. She not only escaped damage
herself but no carrier she was screen-
ing in any of the operations was
reached by Japanese bombs, torped-
oes or Kamikaze planes.
After being commissioned at Ports-
mouth, Va., Aug. 16, 1942, the Ala-
bama guarded Atlantic convoys until
Aug., 1943, when she joined the Pa-
ific Fleet.
She supported the invasions of the
Gilbert Islands and her 16-inch guns
ater thundered in the Marshalls,
the Marianas, the Palaus, at Hollan-
dia in New Guinea and at Leyte in
.he Philippines.
It was the Alabama which first
;ave the rest of a task force warn-
ing that a big air fleet of Japanese
was approaching to attack in the first
'attle of the Philippines Sea. Amer-
ican carrier pilots got away in time
,o meet the attack in the air and
:make their part of the battle a "tur-
tey shoot." *

Dr. Hall To Discuss Problems of Pidgin Languages

"Pidgin Languages: Problems and
Implications" will be the topic of Dr.
Robert A. Hall, Jr., when he speaks
at 7:30 p.m. EWT Tuesday in the
East Lecture Room of the Rackham
Building in the Linguistic Institute's
series of introductory lectures on lin-
guistic science.
Oral Approach
Dr. Hall, who is demonstrating the
oral approach method of teaching
Spanish at the Institute this summer
and is assistant professor of Italian
at Brown University during the aca-
demic year, has been interested in
Pidgin languages for some time. His
England, U. So
To Hold Secret
Of Atom Bomb
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11-(/P)_
Armed with the atom, English-speak-
ing democracy finds itself for the
time being the steward of mankind's
future,
Realization of this is inherent in
President T uman's declaration
Thursday night that the United
States, Britain and Canada would
not disclose the secret of the atomic
bomb "until means have been found
to control the bomb so as to pro-
tect ourselves and the rest of the
world from the danger of total de-
struction."
Threat to Humanity
The full meaning of the discovery
of atomic fission and its control re-
mains locked in the future, but one
thing is clear already.
The threat of utter annihilation
to large segments of humanity, never
before practicable, now can become
a reality.
Whether America is ready to ac-
cept it or not, this can mean a vast
shift in the balance of world power.
definitely toward the hands that
hold this new threat.
Application to Other Uses
It will take years perhaps to ap-
ply the principle of atomic fission
to other uses, but it can scarcely be
doubted that it will be done.
The implications of atomic energy
in peace may eventually be just as
revolutionary. The possessors of
atomic energy to drive industry and
communications will have an econ-
omic weapon which might well sur-
pass in effectiveness this first child
of the domesticated atom - the
atomic bomb.
Should We Share Secret?
No nation without this power be-
hind its factories, its carriers, its
entire economy, could compete with
those who used it.
The question facing the English-
speaking peoples today, therefore, is
first, whether to share this great
new secret.
Already there are voices against
that. Senator Wiley (R-Wis.) is one.
He notes that our secrets have been
shared in the past, and used against
us.
Past discoveries of comparable im-
portance in their time - such weap-
ons as gunpowder, the armored ship,
radio, the airplane - were not kept
secret.
Many of them never were secrets,
but the spontaneity with which sim-
ilar discoveries were made in many
countries leading to the develop-
ments of these weapons suggests
that it could not have been kept
secret long, if at all.
"You can't change the mind of
man," comments Senator O'Mahoney
(D-Wyo.). "This discovery will not
remain a secret. We must see to it
that it is used for peaceful purposes
and the United Nations organization
is the logical agency to do that."

"Melanesian Pidgin Phrase-Book and
Vocabulary," which was first publish-
ed in 1943 by the United States Armed
Forces Institute of Madison, Wiscon-
sin, has been distributed extensively!
among members of the armed forces
in the southwest Pacific. He is also1
the author of a scientific monograph
on Melanesian Pidgin and an article
on Chinese Pidgin.
Dr. Hall will discuss not only the
types of Pidgin English which are1
used in various parts of the world
but also other pidgin languages and
"creolized" languages that are based
on pidgin tongues.
'Music of Speech'
Alia scheduled by the Institute this
week is a public lecture-demonstra-
tion, "The Music of Speech," 'by Dr.
Kenneth L. Pike, lecturer in phonet-
ics in the Institute.. Dr. Pike, who has
just published a book on the intona-
tion of American English, has an-
nounced that he intends to present
materials of interest to students of
speech, drama, music, English, and
foreign languages.
Dr. Pike has done extensive work
in the recording and analysis of
American Indian languages. He is a
director of the Summer Institute of
Linguistics of Glendale, California,
an organization which trains scholars
to record from native speakers lan-
guages of which no adequate written
descriptions exist. He has also coop-
erated in the preparation of mater-
ials for teaching English to speakers
of other languages at the English
Language Institute.

Jap Prisoners May Lack
News of Surrender Bid
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10-(M)-
A large group of Japanese prisoners
obediently went about their duties
at the Army Captive Processing Cen-
er on Angel Island today without
any outward sign that they had
heard of their empire's bid for peace.
They were not officially told of
Nippon's offer to surrender but they
may have heard it "over the fence,"
Maj. John A. Whilock, commanding
officer of the center, said.
Daily, with "no coddling," they
are being shipped out in groups of
150 to 250 to other centers in day
coaches over, the land they had hoped
to conquer.

Army and Navy and solely responsible
for making peace.
Religious Leader
Beyond that, he is the religious
leader of his people-and the Allies
have committed themselves to estab-
lishing freedom of religion in Japan.
The four great powers decreed that
the Emperor must authorize and en-
sure the signing of surrender terms
by the Japanese government and Im-
perial general headquarters.
They said he also must command
all 'armed ,forces to cease operations
and give up their arms-wherever
they are located.
The enemy government was told to
take war prisoners and civilian in-
ternees, as directed, to places where
they can be put quickly on Allied
transports.
Allied Forces To Remain
A final decree was that Allied arm-
ed forces will remain in Japan until
the purposes of the Potsdam declara-
tion are achieved. A million Ameri-
cans may be used for occupation.
With every facility at its command,
the Office of War Information blank-
eted Japan with word of the Allied re-
ply.
All OWI transmitters have been
"lashed together" into a single net-
work, an OWI spokesman said. The
Allied reply is being broadcast every
hour through combined facilities on
;he west coast, Hawaii and Saipan
and is receiving the heaviest play
ever given a news event in a broad-
cast to Japan, he said.
France Asks Association
Late today, France asked formally
to be associated with any surrender of
Japan. She lest Indo-China to ram-
pant hordes of yellow men early in
the Pacific war. The request was filed
orally by Ambassador Henri Bonnet
in a call at the State Department.
Under the surrender terms on
which the Allies are insisting, Japan
would lose all the vast territory she
has grabbed since 1914-Korea in due
course would become free and inde-
pendent; Manchuria, Formosa, and
the Pescadores Islands would be re-
turned to China.
