President Harry Truman Signs the Original Press Release Announcing the First Use of Atomic Weaponry — “…Hiroshima…may expect a rain of ruin from the air…” — One of Only a Few Extant
Extremely rare and important document signed by President Harry Truman, publicly announcing the very first use of the nuclear bomb, dropped upon Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. Document signed “Harry Truman” is the press release of Truman’s announcement, the gravest and most controversial decision of his Presidency, perhaps of any 20th century President. Four page press release reads in part, “Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, an important Japanese army base. That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of T.N.T. It had more than two thousand times the blast power of the British ‘Grand Slam’ which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare. The Japanese began the war from the air at Pearl Harbor. They have been repaid many fold. And the end is not yet. With this bomb we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction to supplement the growing power of our armed forces. In their present form these bombs are now in production and even more powerful forms are in development. It is an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed against those who brought war to the Far East. Before 1939, it was the accepted belief of scientists that it was theoretically possible to release atomic energy. But no one knew any practical method of doing it. By 1942, however, we knew that the Germans were working feverishly to find a way to add atomic energy to the other engines of war with which they hoped to enslave the world. But they failed. We may be grateful to Providence that the Germans got the V-1’s and the V-2’s late and in limited quantities and even more grateful that they did not get the atomic bomb at all. The battle of the laboratories held fateful risks for us as well as the battles of the air, land and sea, and we have now won the battle of the laboratories as we have won the other battles. Beginning in 1940, before Pearl Harbor, scientific knowledge useful in war was pooled between the United States and Great Britain and many priceless helps to our victories have come from that arrangement. Under that general policy the research on the atomic bomb was begun. With American and British scientists working together we entered the race of discovery against the Germans…We have spent two billion dollars on the greatest scientific gamble in history – and won…What has been done is the greatest achievement of organized science in history. It was done under high pressure and without failure…We are now prepared to obliterate more rapidly and completely every productive enterprise the Japanese have above ground in any city. We shall destroy their docks, their factories, and their communications. Let there be no mistake; we shall completely destroy Japan’s power to make war. It was to spare the Japanese people from utter destruction that the ultimatum of July 26 was issued at Potsdam. Their leaders promptly rejected that ultimatum. If they do not now accept our terms they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth…It has never been the habit of the scientists of this country or the policy of this Government to withhold from the world scientific knowledge…But under present circumstances it is not intended to divulge the technical processes of production of production or all the military applications, pending further examination of possible methods of protecting us and the rest of the world from the danger of sudden destruction. I shall recommend that the Congress of the United States consider promptly the establishment of an appropriate commission to control the production and use of atomic power within the United States. I shall give further consideration and make further recommendations to the Congress as to how atomic power can become a powerful and forceful influence towards the maintenance of world peace.” Boldly signed “Harry Truman” on fourth and last page of document which measures 8″ x 12.5″. Some toning, staple mark to upper left corner, folds and small tears to edge. Overall in very good condition, housed in a blue cloth clamshell box. With a typed cover letter signed “S. Tucker” on National Press Club letterhead, presenting the document. Sold for $54,000.

With John F. Kennedy Presidential Library backstamp crediting “Cecil Stoughton/White House” as the photographer. Felt lined humidor measures 10.25″ x 7″ x 2″. Some fabric loss to lining and rubbing to edges, else near fine condition. Cigars measure 5.25″. Near fine. Lot also includes copies of correspondences between Kennedy and Amelito R. Mutuc, Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines. The text of one letter, courtesy of the JFK Presidential Library, reads in part: “Dear Mr. Ambassador: I have received the handsome, personalized, mahogany box of very fine cigars that you so thoughtfully sent to me. It was indeed kind of you to send such a generous supply of this excellent product. I know I will enjoy them and consider your gift another demonstration of the warm friendship existing between our countries. With appreciation and every good wish to you and your family. Sincerely, John F. Kennedy”. Also included is a small sheet of Ambassador Mutuc’s stationery addressed in a secretarial hand to: “The President / The White House / Washington, D.C.”, which likely accompanied the box of cigars, plus a copy of a letter from Carlos P. Romulo, Philippine Ambassador to the United States, dated 16 April 1961, to President Kennedy: “When the Manila papers recently published a picture of yours holding a cigar, a Philippine newspaper suggested that it may be a good idea to let you sample what we believe are the best cigars in the world. President Garcia has asked me to extend to you his personal greetings and to present you with these boxes of Philippine cigars with his compliments…” Finally, lot includes copy of a letter from President Kennedy to Romulo, dated 14 August 1961: “…Many, many thanks for the fine cigars…” Sold for $15,813.

Harry S. Truman signed farewell address with exceptional content, delivered to the nation on 15 January 1953, five days before President Eisenhower’s inauguration. At the time of this address, Truman had a very low approval rating of 22% among the American people, lower even than President Nixon’s 24% when the latter left office. However, in the ensuing years, Truman’s reputation has been rehabilitated and is now considered among most historians as one of the top 10 Presidents, having ended WWII and implemented the Marshall Plan, established the United Nations and NATO, and ignited the issue of Civil Rights in 1948. Six page document is signed ”Harry Truman” at the conclusion. Marked ”Confidential” and ”Hold for Release”, document states that Truman will deliver the remarks from the White House on 15 January. Speech brings home, in visceral detail, the concerns and challenges facing leaders post WWII. Six page document on three sheets measures 8” x 14”. Folds, light toning and staple at upper left, otherwise near fine condition. Sold for $3,750.
Extraordinary Autograph Album of a Young Japanese Girl Imprisoned in the Tule Lake Concentration Camp During WWII — “…Tule Lake will remain in my memory for ever…”
Very moving autograph album kept by a Japanese girl during her internment at The Tule Lake War Relocation Center, the most repressive of the ten concentration camps housing Japanese Americans during World War II. Owned by a young woman named Akiko, the autograph book contains approximately 125 entries, with the earliest inscribed by her fellow classmates graduating from McCarver Jr. High School in Tacoma, Washington in January 1942. These ominous well-wishes of good luck from Akiko’s classmates quickly segue to entries in July 1942 at Pinedale, California, one of thirteen temporary detention centers following approval of Executive Order 9066 on 19 February 1942, which established the camps. Then, beginning in October 1942 until September 1943, all entries are from Tule Lake, with several individuals recording their block and cell number in lieu of the place. The last entries from late 1943 make mention of Akiko’s upcoming transfer to a different camp (in Minidoka, Idaho), which mirrors the historical record of low-risk inmates who scored “high” on loyalty questionnaires being moved to lesser security camps. It was in 1943 when Tule Lake became a maximum security prison housing those who the government considered disruptive or disloyal. Sold for $2,400.
World War II Pearl Harbor Diary — “…Hurriedly I put on my clothing and ran outside to see the air full of 50 cal. Machine gun shells and anti-aircraft shells exploding in the air. The sky was literally full of exploding shells and diving Japanese planes. The planes they flew were carrying the Japanese insignia of the Rising Sun…”
Pearl Harbor nine page battle diary written by 3rd Class Signalman Gerald H. Conrad from the USS Pennsylvania, approximately two weeks after the 7 December 1941 attack. This personal account, handwritten in cursive, reads in part, “…At 7:55 on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was surprised by an attack by Japanese bomber and torpedo planes and submarines. Previous to this time they had bombed Schofield, Fort Wheeler, Fort Shafter, Honolulu, and other fields. Doing considerable damage to Hickam Field. At this time I was in bed but was awoken by exploding bombs and roaring plane motors. Someone mentioned that we were being attacked. This of course I didn’t believe as no one expected such a cowardly attack by the dirty Japs. Hurriedly I put on my clothing and ran outside to see the air full of 50 cal. Machine gun shells and anti-aircraft shells exploding in the air. The sky was literally full of exploding shells and diving Japanese planes. The planes they flew were carrying the Japanese insignia of the Rising Sun. Soon the planes had left but were back again in no time. Overhead I saw a formation of seven planes (Jap) as I watched them I saw them release as many bombs. These bombs were dropped from a very high altitude directed at our battleships which were moored to the quarries in Pearl Harbor. Soon another formation was sited high overhead. They too dropped bombs on the battleships. At this time, 3 of the 7 battleships were in flames: Oklahoma laying on her side, Arizona filling the sky with black smoke, and the West Virginia on fire, too. These ships were damaged heavily and sunk to the bottom with the super structure showing…The ships that were sunk are as follows: Utah — total loss, California, West Virginia, Arizona — total loss, Oklahoma, Nevada, Oglala — total loss, Cassina — total loss, Downes — total loss, Shaw — total loss…Every effort is being made to raise the sunken ships except the ones marked total loss. The Arizona burned for 36 hours before they could get her out. Thousands of lives were lost, how many hasn’t as yet been disclosed for sure. Last report I heard was 2,800. I have every reason to believe there is many more…As soon as the Secretary of the Navy heard of the tragedy here, he came to inspect the damage. Ten days later Admiral Kimmel was relieved of the CINC [Commander-in-Chief] and reduced to the rank of Rear Admiral. Admiral Rye Commander of Battleships is CINC now until Admiral Nimitz arrives here to take command of the U.S. Fleet as CINCUS…These Commanders were relieved of their command due to the fact that they were not on the alert else this mighty tragedy might not have occurred. The Island of Oahu is under Marshall Law since the air-raid. Liberty is from 9 in the morning until 5 at night. No alcoholic beverages whatsoever are being sold. Since Dec. 7 we have blackouts every night. All car lights are painted blue and windows in buildings are painted…Two Japanese submarines have been raised that were sunk by our ships. They are at the Sub Base. One is approximately 75 feet in length. The other a small one which was manned by two men. I watched them raise it in Pearl Harbor and saw them take the dead Jap out. Two weeks in his pig boat on the bottom did him no good…Have had blackouts all nite, every nite for 17 days. Was reported that Japanese landed on Wake yesterday. We will get them, every one…” Diary, measuring 5.25″ x 8″, was manufactured by the U.S. Government printing office and is in very good condition. Includes typed transcription of the diary account, as well as four family photos and several “copy” photos of the Signal Tower at Pearl Harbor where Gerald was stationed during the actual attack, a couple “copy” documents (Census records and military transfers) and miscellaneous research material. An excellent, detailed first-hand account. Sold for $2,126.
