They stood for one minute of silent prayer at 8:16 a.m., the time when the U.S, B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped “Little Boy” on Aug. 6, 1945, killing about 100,000 people in the world’s first atomic bombing in the closing days of the Second World) War. "The bells in the city’s 120 Christian churches and Bud- dhist temples chimed with the Bell of Peace in the park and city officials released 1,700 doves to symbolize hopes for peace. “The human race is stand- ing on the verge of ruin amid heightening nuclear rivalry, centring around the United States and the Soviet Union,” Hiroshima Mayor Hakeshi Araki, a survivor of the bombing, said in his address. Nakasone told the group that Japan, “as the only nation that has experienced the atomic bomb” is “quali- fied and has the responsibil- ity to be a leader in seeking lasting world peace.” Similar services are sched- uled for Tuesday in Naga- saki, in southwestern Japan, where a second atomic bomb killed an estimated 74,000 people three days after the attack on Hiroshima.

The deployment is to start in December unless U.S. and Soviet negot- iators reach agreement at arms talks in Geneva.

Police Premier Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski claims he is honoring the agreement by allowing small, state-controlled unions. “On the third anniversary of August, 1980, I appeal to all of you who have given us your mandate and support to address your opnions and de- mands to those who guar- anteed they would imple- ment the agreements,” Wal- esa said in a three-page statement distributed Friday to western correspondents in Warsaw. Authorities have treated the 1980 accord “like a piece of waste paper,” he said, and have honored only one of 21 concessions it made in the pact: allowing live radio broadcast of Roman Catholic what has remained of the August agreements?” he asked. “What has remained are radio mass on Sunday and empty words about the righteousness of the workers’ protest in 1980. The whole rest was treated like a piece of waste paper.” “Beautiful words combined with deprivation of more and more rights lead nowhere,” he said. Walesa's statement did not mention a call by the Sol- idarity underground for workers to show support for the union by boycotting public transport for two hours on Aug. 31, the anni- versary of the agreements. The statements by Walesa and the Solidarity under- ground fell short of the calls for defiance last summer by union supporters who pro- tested throughout Poland on Aug. 31, 1982.
