as a scient st by Tokyo Radio, re.

Tori, technician for japanese
Imperial defense general headquar-
ters, returned to Tokyo yesterday
from Hiroshima where he made
detailed survey. His description,
couched in scientific language
which only casionally descended
to human terms, estimated time,
speed and distance.

white smoke which gradually form

persons on the ground who wit
messed this monstrous spectacle
said when the atomic pomb ex-
ploded they saw ripples of circular
heat rays. The waves are believed
to have continued for approximate.
ly two seconds. 4
Explosive pressure after the
blast was felt for considerable
length OF time. There are about
| minutes between the time hous-
es are destroyed and the time they
first catch fire.
Length of time of the explosive
pressure depends on the distance,
but is believed to be about the
same as a sound wave. The re-
lation between the flash and the
explosion pressure seems similar
to those between lightning and
thunder and in proportion to the
distance from the center of the
explosion =. Sound OF the ex-
plosion of the atomic bomb seems
to have been heard at the same
time the pressure of conclusion
was felt. -
He described the flash and pres
sure of the conclusion as extreme
ly powerful" adding that latter the
atomic bomb explodes it swiftly
scattered elastic energies through
out the air."
Eyewitnesses told Tori that an
American Superfortress appeared
in the sky on a busy morning Aug.
6. Switching off its engines, it Gid
ed in at an altitude of Is, feet
and dropped the bomb. While the
bomb seemed to linger in the air
on its parachute, the Superforts
sped away. When the bomb ex-
ploded the plane had travelled
eight miles.
Three apparatuses attached to
the parachute after the bomb ex-
ploded fell on the ground North
of the target area his report con-
tinued.
"Since the explosive pressure is
circular it is ineffective to seek
shelter behind any object, although
the effect is somewhat weaker than
from the front" There also was
difference as to "the severity
of burns sustained" The side
is much lighter"
He added that anything black
absorbed the heat more than white.
And it left black stains on white
clothing. From fove to l minutes
after the atomic bomb exploded a
black shower was apparent.

that there be a repetition Of

Saying he understood ";t has
been going on for some time"
Councilman j. E. L. Wade

ferred to the city manager
and checked by the police de-

the council, in cooperation with
