The One That Hit Nagasaki
Easier to Build, Makes
First Obsolete.

GUAM, = Brig. Gen. Thomas A
Farrell. commander Of atomic bomb
operations in the Pacific, told the
Associated Press, that the A-bomt
which struck Nagasaki packed more
punch than the first one dropped
on Hiroshima.
Farrell said the second bomb moi
only was more potent, but made oh.
solete the No parcel Of death, and
was less difficult to construct.
The strategic air forces an
nounced that 80 per cent Of Maya
saki had been destroyed. es
Maj. Charles W. Sweeney. pilot Of
the big superfortress which car
ried out the attack, said: =
1.-THE turbulence from the blast at
Nagasaki was greater than at Hiro-
shima., M
S Bomb Made Crater.
The reconnaissance photographs
showed that destruction at Hiro-
shirna was greater, however. Cen
eral Spaatz'e strategic command
said 60 per cent of Hiroshima was
destroyed Farrell did not elaborate
on the, increased potency of the
bomb or its manufacture, size, or
weight, nor on the comparative de-
struction handed the two cities.
Post-bombing pictures of Maya
salVi showed great crater where
the bomb struck. No crater APP
peared in the Hiroshima photo
graphs. The Japanese claimed both
missiles were dropped by parachute
and that the Hiroshima bomb ex-
ploded before it struck the ground.
Spaatz suggested that the geogra-
ply and topography of the two cities
would have a bearing on the results
of the bombs.
Much of NagasalSi's war facilities
shipping, aircraft and steel indus
tries, rail, naval and other vital in
stallations were either completely
wrecked or heavily damaged.
Wrecks Steel Plant.
The Tokyo radio issued contrast
ing reports. One said the damage
was Slight" the other that damage
was extensive, with many lives lost.
Spaatz said fhe area OF destruc-
ton in the built-up area ranged on
both sides of the Urakami river for
a distance of two miles, with a max
imum width of seven-tenths of a
mile. Included was the great Mitsu-
bishi steel plant, which produced
100000 tons of finished steel prod
ucts each year and was a source CT
naval torpedoes. and the Mitsubishi-
Urakami ordnance plant, which
turned out 4,800 aerial torpedoes an
nually.
Scientists who were responsible
for the manufacture Of the bombs
and the crews of the B-2os that
dropped them agreed that the feat
was almost beyond their magma
tons.

said Maj. Thomas W. Ferebee of

BIO which dropped the first bomb.
Il felt a tremendous responsibility

on the target let the atomic bomb
go, and to say was very relieved
when it was gone is putting it
mildly"
Scientists were elated at the sue

Thanksgiving Day?

Because this November has five
Thursdays, the tangle over OBJ

bound to arise. BY Federal law,
Thanksgiving is the fourth Thurs

which also had five Thursdays,
caused uncertainties over the ira
ditional day, with some States
celebrating the fourth and Others
