SURVIVED A.BoMB AT 100 YARDS

Americans studying the effects Of the two atomic
bomb explosions in Japan during World War II have dis
covered japanese worker who survived the atom blast
at Hiroshima although he only 100 yards from the
explosion ITSELF Apparently. the facts have been thor
oughly tested and the survivor becomes the first human
TO live through an atomic explosion at such proximity
10 the blast.
The japanese survivor repeatedly in the base
ment vault Of building only 100 yards from the center
OF the explosion when the first atomic bomb explosion
went off, The building above him. Of course was smash
cd and oblerated and he. doubt emerged from his
basement vault 10 find the most terrifying scene around
him ever witnessed by atomic survivor
Despite his close proximity 10 the detonation. the
survivor reported today to be in good health and this
proves an important point concerning atomic explosions
While had been known that concrete or vaults or any
thick protection Of similar type would protect persons
from atomic blasts 1t not known that such protection
could be afforded 10 only 100 yards from the center
Of the explosion With the bombs available today
Is doubtful the japanese who survived the Hiroshima
blast could survive modern bomb at the same distance
Nevertheless, the value of underground shelters is
clearly demonstrated In this case.
American cities and industrial centers which do not
yet have sufficient underground shelter system should
not the risk Of being caught unprepared for atomic
or hydrogen bomb explosion.
Those who live defense installations. indus
trial or atomic energy plants might do well to con-
struct shelters of their II their communities do not
provide them The Civil Defense Administration In Wash
