dormant volcanic area began
erupting Monday five miles east
of Pahoa.

half north of the abandoned vil
lage of Kappohb, which is near
the coast at the eastern tlt> of

hiovmg out east. But scattered
bands of sightseers still were seen
in the forbidden area.

, was flowing through Kapoho,
which would put it little mote
than a mile from the sea.
i By night, the whole end of the
! island was lighted by the fiery
. glare. Fingers of lava spread out
. both north and south of the fis-;
. sure. Choking sulphur fumes
. filled the ait.

U.S. Will Aid
Britain in War
LONDON, March 3 (/P)—Prime
Minister Churchill said today a
sneak hydrogen bomb raid on Bri
tain might bring a retaliatory
punch “almost immediately” from
American bombers.
The 80-year-old statesman ra
ther testily told the House of
Commons in answer to questions:
“I suppose an immediate de
structive, surprise and treacher
ous attack by the hydrogen bomb
upon this island might possibly
be acted upon by our allies in the
U.5.A.., almost immediately,
without further prior consulta
tion.”
Legislators accepted Churchill’s
remarks as a warning to Russia
against attempting a surprise
strike before Britain’s strategic
bomber force is ready for action
and its hydrogen bbmb comes off
the production line.
Churchill spoke after Laborite
Kenneth Robinson asked assur
ances that U.S. bombers, based in
Britain, would not strike against
an enemy without getting Lon
don’s prior okay. ;
The Prime Minister said nis
March 1952 agreement with Presi
dent Eisenhower on the use of the
American nuclear bomb force in
this country still holds good. This
provides that the U.S. jet fleet
and bases manned by some
30,000 American airmen—would
be used in an emergency after
joint decision by the British and
American governments.
