Front BOMBED CITY NOW PATCH OF RUBBLE NAGASAKI, Japan, Sept. 10.—(A>) —The second and last atomic bomb dropped by the Americans turned half of this city of 250,000 population into a desert of rubble I am one of a party of Ameri cans on a first visit to this formei manufacturing center. Of th's city, comparable in size to San Antonio Tex., or Providence, B. I., nothing remains in the three-mile-long and two-mile-wide business district ex cept debris. The havoc caused by the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki Aug. 9 was much greater than the first dropped on Hiroshima three days earlier, and it is now clear whal the War department meant when it announced that the first atomic bomb was already obsolete. Not even the canyons and hills protecting sections of this city were able to save buildings and people from the desolating blast. The smell of death still is heavy over the city and smoke rises from fires started a month age by the single bomb. Authorities in Nagasaki now es timate that 26,000 persons have died, 40,000 were wcunded and that 10 to 20 victims are dying daily. The Japanese officials said they expected the total to climb as high as 40,000 dead. • The spot where the bomb ex ploded, an area half a mile square _ _a. _ i_j. _ i a . woo c vivun. a a across the valley from the bomb center houses were pushed out ol line and lean drunkenly along the street. There was no crater, and, con trary to previous reports, Japa nese in Nagasaki sa'd the bomb exploded about 1,500 feet above the ground. Twisted steel ribs of the huge Mitsubishi steel works, nearly a mile from the center of the ex plosion. are bent away from the direction of the blast. Nearly every building in the in dustrial half of the city was wiped out in the explosion. Large areas of trees were burned from sur round'ng hills which are now bare and brown.

INFECTED BLOOD GIVEN TO FLIERS SYDNEY, Sept. 10.—(U.R)—Seven American airmen, rescued by Americans died after their captors gave them injections of infected Japanese blood. Sgt. Escoe Palmer of Gaines ville, Ga., who was shot down in a Liberator over Rabaul in March, 1944, said that Japanese doctors gave him an injection of malaria infected sheep’s blood but that he only broke out with a rash. When the Japanese learned of the surrender, Sgt. Palmer said they began shoving candy into his hands and - whiskey down his throat. “I had to smile,” he said, ‘when I remembered how they used to beat ne for not sitting up straight in the ‘Japanese’ fash ion.” First Lt. James A. McMurria oi Columbus. Ga., a Liberator pilot of the Fifth airforce, was shot down near Wewak in January, 1943. He said that when the Amer icans began to bomb Rabaul— where he had been taken by the Japanese — the enemy moved 64 prisoners into the mountains and 40 were taken to a nearby island. Later the Japanese claimed that all those removed to the island had been killed by Allied air raids. Of those taken into the mountains, only five survived—the other died of disease and starvation. The names of the other five Americans rescued airmen were not available.

And victory over Japan won’t solve the problem immediately. We must keep on saving used fats in our kitchens! If you have any thought that saving used fats is one of those wartime chores we can drop, now that Victory is here, please con sider these facts and tell them to your neighbors. America still needs salvaged fats. Not even at the peak of our war effort, when fats were re quired for mountains of shells and bombs and medicines, in addition to the ever-present need for soap, were our needs for salvaging fat greater than now. Our stocks have been drained by four long years of war, and there isn’t enough on hand to meet all requirements. Don’t let "Victory psychol ogy” blind you to this national need! If housewives stop saving fats now, the shortage will become even ; more critical. Don’t let a single drop of used fats go to Waste! Little trim mings of fat left on the platter at the table, scraps left on plates, and even the skimmings of soups and gravies are important. It is the consistent saving of even these small amounts that counts. Don’t turn in fats that can be re-used! But some fats, such as those rendered from lamb aid mutton, are not suitable for re-use. Put them immediately in the salvage can. And, with other fats, after you’ve got all cooking good out of them, there is always a little left. No matter how little it is, save it. Your butcher will still give you 4 i and 2 red points for every pound you turn in. *Save consistently—save every drop you can—every day—until Uncle Sam says the job is done.
