TOKYO, (AP) - Japan Saturday observed the 15th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima with pleas for banning nuclear weapons.
Crown Prince Akihito attended and delivered a message at a government-approved memorial service in Hiroshima.
Some 30,000 persons attended the rally in Peace Park.
In Tokyo, the Communist-dominated World Conference Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs opened a four-day conference denouncing the United States and its allies as the "force of war."
Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda sent a message to the Hiroshima rally expressing regret that despite Japan's repeated appeals there still was no halt in the manufacture, stockpiling and testing of nuclear weapons.
In Hiroshima the memorial ceremonies were held in Peace Park where a roofless gutted building stands exactly as it was after the explosion as a symbol of the Hiroshima tragedy.
Hiroshima city fathers were reported considering tearing it down on request from survivors of the blast who complained that the building reminded them of the horror of Aug. 6, 1945.
