PAGfc FOUR (First Section) Will Boost Production ew Bomb OAK RIDGE, Tcnn Col. K. U. Nichols, district engineer for Ihe Clinton Kngineering Works, had revealed that facilities lor produc tion of the atomic bomb are al ready being expanded. In his first interview since the military made public its top-drawer secret, Nichols said that tin- Oak Eidge plant had been given its pro duction schedule in 1942 "and we're right smack on it." "We were given a job to do." he said "That job was the develop ment of explosives for the use in war We are fulfilling that job now, and more plants are being built for the purpose of manufac turing atomic bombs " Describing the- development of the bomb as the "greatest gamble in history," Nichols expressed the opinion that it would be worth the two billion dollars invested be cause it would "very likely shorten the Pacific war " Me disclosed that the Oak Hidge location was chosen for the bomb production because of the nearness of the Tennessee Valley authority with its unlimited supply of elec tricity "Since the very first bit of ground was broken for the project. Dak Ridge has received top priority lor literally everything it needed," Nichols said. Nichols said that he was in no position to speculate on the pos sible peacetime application of Ihe newly harnessed energy, hut he added: "I trust that it will be kept right here in the United States."

Hiroshima actually was an im portant quartermaster depot and garrison city for the Japanese army. Radio Tokyo said both the dead and wounded had been burned be yound recognition and confessed that authorities still were unable to obtain a definite check on civil ian casualties. "Those outdoors burned to death, while those indoors were killed by the indescribable pressure and heat," Tokyo said. It called the city a "disastrous ruin." Seared To Death "Medical relief agencies that, were rushed from the neighboring districts were unable to distinguish, much less identify, the dead from the injured," the enemy broadcast said. "The impact of the bomb was so terrific that practically all living things, human and animals, were literally seared to death by the tre mendous heat and pressure en gendered by the blast. "With houses and buildings crushed, including the emergency medical facilities, the authorities ire having their hands full in giv ing every available relief possible under the circumstances." Radio Tokyo still referred to the atomic missile as merely a "new type bomb." It said order gradual ly was being restored In the strick en city The Japanese cabinet was called into a special session at the official residence of Premier Kantaro Su iuki yesterday morning to hear a report from Its chief secretary, Hisatune Sckoinizu. on the raid, Tokyo said. Jap Prince Killed The Japanese imperial household ministry announced that Prince Rt Gu, nephew of the head of the for mer ruling house of Korea, was killed in the raid, while fulfilling his duties as a lieutenant-colonel in the Japanese army. Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, commander of the American strategic air forces in the Pacific, said reconnaissance photographs revealed that fires touched off by the almost unbe lievable heat of the bomb leaped block-wide streams and spread into the outskirts. The city appeared desolate in the photographs Bridges across seven channels of the Motoyasu river delta within the city were damaged Strangely, the photographs show ed no crater However, Tokyo had reported that the bomb was drop ped by parachute and exploded in ihe air. It was likely that the en tire force of the blast was directed horizontally across the city below. Think Few Escaped Although the built-up area of Hiroshima came to six and nine tenths square miles, the city as a whole totalled 12 square miles with a population of 318,000 an average of 26,500 persons per square mile. Few, if any, of the more than 100,000 persons in the totally-devastated four square miles were be lieved to have escaped death or in Juiy The blast alone of the atomic bomb could kill persons within a four-mile range .and it was ltkelj that there were many casualties outsides the utterly-destroyed sec tion SpaaU told newsmen that other Superfortresses were ready to car ry more atomic bombs to Japan Leaflets warning the enemy of his impending doom already were be ing prepared, he said Both Spaatz and his chief of staff, Lt (Jen Curtis Le May, agreed that if the bomb had been available in 1943 there "might not have had to be any D-day" for an invasion of France. Spaatz declined comment on the potentialities of the deapon's use in the Pacific, but added: "One of our few fears in Eu rope was that the Germans would All Summer HATS Half Price SEDUCED Distinctive Ladies' Wear THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER FOR SALE One large heatrola In good condition.
