Atomic Bomb Scientists
 ToSee Results

Washington, Aug. 29.-(UP)-U. s. scientists who developed the atomic bomb plan to investigate the wrecks of Hiroshima and Nagaski as soon aS possible, after American occu- patton of Japan, it was understood today.
 They were eager, it was said, to determine the truth or falsehood Of Japanese reports that fatal ra- dio activity fingered at Hiroshima for weeks after the first atomic bomb exploded over the city August 9th.
 The War Department has refused to say anything for publication about any plans for conducting in- vestigations at the bomb targets. It was similarly silent last week when the Japanese radio reported the persistence of radiation at Hiro- shima which, the enemy said, added thousands to the bombs initial toll of dead.
 Discount Aftermath
 Last Aug. 8 Dr. Harold Jacob son of New York said in a signed news story that fatal radiation might finger after an atomic bomb explosion for as long as 70 years. The War Department in an of- ficial denial asserted, however, that there was no grounds for Jacob sons speculation" and Jacobson issued 8 statement acknowledging that better informed scientists dis agreed with him.
 The atom splitting processes which produce the bombs explosive ma- terial are known to create so- called "fission by-products" which are highly radioactive and danger ouS.
 This radioactivity persists in some of the elemental by-products for months and years, in others for only a few seconds.
 The War Department said after publication of JacobSon'S article
