Secret Hiroshima Report Shows
Thousands Died Fleeing City

caused very few fires except in the
forest on the hills behind Hiroshima
They attributed the fire which ragged
through shattered houses in the
center of the city to such causes as
electrical shorts and overturned
cooking fires.
Japanese investigators reported
they found dead fish in a pond in
the center of the city and in the
river which flows through town, and
dead birds in. the forest.
The blast apparently got rid OF
insects too. No flies were seen on
corpses and "those who had to camp
out in the ruins never suffered
from mosquitoes for as long as three
nights"
AS soon as traces Of ray damage
were noted, the Japanese sent
Geiger counters to Hiroshima. The

TOKYO, July 30.-A hitherto un-
published Japanese official report
on the atomic bombing Of Hiro-
shima in 1945 says that thousands
who apparently survived the awe
some blast began dropping as they
fled the flaming city.
I have just seen the only known
extant copy of this report, which
also discloses that japanese scien-
lists quickly guessed that an atomic
bomb had hit Hiroshima and that
uranium was the agent used.
The compilation of this report
was begun by experts on the scene
the day the bomb hit on that his
toric August 6, and, when surrender
came, the japanese high command
ordered it destroyed.
But a japanese officer who helped
compile it saved copy along with
photographs. I discovered the pho
tographs at Kure 10 days ago and
that led down a trail which at last
uncovered the report itself.
This supersecret report to the
high command in Tokyo said that
all persons within range of the
binding flash were so stunned that
even antiaircraft battery gunners
forgot to shoot as they marveled
at the monstrous white cloud mush-
rooming over the city.
Immediately after the blast, thou
sands of those who escaped a direct
scorching or injury from flying
debris began to suffer from a
strange sickness, the report con-
tinued. Although unmarked, they
began falling while trying to get
out of the city.
The Japanese noted that the bomb
