AtonnBonnb's S
Horror Told
Dutch Medic Confirms
jap Nsessaki Reports

NAGASAKI, Sept. 10 (UP)
A Dutch army doctor today
confirmed Japanese reports
that burn victims in the
atomic bombing raid on
-Nagasaki died days after
being discharged from hospi-
tails as recovered.
(Radio Tokyo said that. a
medical research party from
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters
took u tons OF medical supplies
to Hiroshima, first target of the
atomic bomb, for distribution
among the victims)
The doctor, Capt. Jacob Wink,
was confined with 200 other Dutch,
Australian and British prisoners
in q camp near the center of Nag
asaki when the second atomic
bomb burst over the city a month
ago yesterday.
CAPTIvES KILLED
-Four of the prisoners were
killed instantly. four others died
later. and AZ were injured. The
camp, across the street from the
great MitsHbisi1i Steel Works, was
demolished. No Americans were
in the camp.
Or. Wink said persons within
range of the bomb suffered par
slysis of the throat, slight hem
orrhages and loss OF white and red
blood corpuscles.
A number of burn victims re-
leased from hospitals as recovered
returned su bsequently with
atomic symptoms" he said, and
died, an average Of five days later.
FIRST ALLIED SOURCE
DR.. Wink was the first Allied
source to confirm what some scien-
lists thought might be only Japa-
nese propaganda reports of the
after-effects OF an atomic bomb
explosion.
+. Genshiro Mizogoshi, Nagasaki
police CHIEF, told the first Allied
newsnen TO visit Nagasaki after
-Japan'S surrender that $4,000 per-
4, sons already were dead as result
of the raid, 10 10 20 additional
were dying daily and the toll ulti-
mately might reach 10000. Forty
thousand other persons were
wounded.
He estimated that 1900 houses
disappeared and all $4,000 others
IN the city suffered damage.
An area a half mile east and
west and three-quarters of a mile
north and south in downtown
Nagasski was destroyed Only
splinterS remain.
Windows and q slate roof six
miles away were smashed. The
degree Of destruction was greater
than at Hiroshima.
INSIDE PRISON CAMP
DR.. Wink said he was inside the
prison camp when the bomb
exploded.
81 saw . big white aash," he
said. "1t sounded like any
other bomb coming down. After
the hAxh, buildings began to
crumble. In or 10 minutes,
Ares were raging In many places
and In 20 minutes the whole
city was ablaxe."
Another Dutch prisoner, an
Ensign jolly. said the bomb was
suspended from three or four
psrachutes.
81 heard IL whistle like any
ether komb and dived under n
tabae betweea two buildings"
he said. There was . tremen-
dous Aash. then an explosion,
and the building collapsed
Jolly'S hair was scorched in
the blast.
Other witnesses Said they did
not feel any wind or hush OF air
az the effects of the bomb spread
over the city.
At another prison camp. eight
miles away. prisoners reported
they saw air waves with the at
mosphere ripping like a lake
into which q stone has been
thrown. Even that distance away,
there were small landslides and
several stone walls were cracked.

New Type Homes
At Minimum Cost

LOS ANGELES, Aug 30. up
Marketing Of a completely-f furnish
ed house and lot at a cost of S3500
was promised Thursday by Bror
Dahl5erg. president Of the CeloteX
Corporation
The greatest era Of construction
in the history of the nation will
get under way within six months, So
Dahlberg said.
Our own war experience hints
of the possibilities. Several thou
sand comfortable, permanent four
and d-one-half-roOm h OuSeS were
built with Celotex CemeSto units at
a cost of $500 or less
This price did not include any
profit for the dealer, or the cost
of the land. But these houses were
only partially prefabricated and
were not manufactured BY the as
sembly line process.
Danlbcrg said assembly lines
would be able to produce house
sections as we'll as they did bomb
berS
Reduction in costs thus effected
will make it possible 20 produce at
tractive ana durable houses for
$4,000 to $1,000.
The Celotcx president said the
atomic bomb city Of Oak Ridge
Tenn. was an example.
More than three thousand per-
manent Cemesto homes. as we'll as
other buildings such as hospitals
schools. stores and theaters were
built in a short time

would create need for 100000
