After Bombing,
Scientist Says
GrisIy Findings
at Blost Scenes
Are Revealed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 - (P)
- A scientist described today
how fantastic effects of rays CIV
en- off by atomic bombs killed
Japanese weeks after the blasts
which flattened Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.
DR.. Philip Morrison who help
ed assemble those bombs, said
the rays strangely affected the
blood and made the victims a
prey to fatal infection.
In a statement prepared for
the special Senate Atomic Ener-
gy Committee he told of the
gruesome findings of a party
which inspected the devastated
cities after the japanese surrend-
cred.
He said most persons within a
mile of the bombs died quickly
either from the great heat of the
blast and injuries suffered in
demolished buildings.
RADIUM-LIVE RAYS
Many who escaped death by
blast or burn, Morrison said,
died from the effects of radium-
like rays emitted in great numb
er from the bomb at the instant
of the explosion"
This radiation affects the
blood-forming TISSUES in the bone
marrow, and the whole function
of the blood is impaired the
former University of Illinois
physics instructor related.
The blood does not coagulate,
but Oozes in many spots through
the unbroken skin, and internal
ly seeps into the cavities of the
body. The white corpuscles
which fight infection disappear.
Lack of these corpuscles per-
mits infection to prosper" Nor
rison said, land the patient dies,
usually two or three weeks after
the exposure.
