Flrc Shot llp lllllflllfeotfrom Atomic Bomb

WASHINGTON, . I - A?) - A pillar of purple lmt 10.000 feet into the slices over Nagasaki Aug. 9 from chs burst of the sec- ond atomic bomb dropped on Japan, according» tc a graphic oycwitnca account released Saturday by the War Department.

Th: account was written by William L. T , science writer for the New York ‘time! and a special consultant to the Manhst- ten engineer district which devel. (IP96. the atomic bomb.

Laurence flew in one of two Superfortresses accompanying the 28.29 "The Greet Artist/e” which loosed the bomb on the city. Laur-

ence’s plane carried apparatus to ;measure the effect; of the explo. ,‘ sion. | Nagasaki, Laurence discloses. was one of several potential targets ‘picked for the mission but there [was no opening in the clouds above the other unidentified cltlea and the planes turned to Nagasaki. They circled over the indusmal centre until they found a bleak in the clouds It was 12:01 PM.

"We heard the pro-arranged slg. nal on our radio, put. on our arc welders glasses and watched tensely the manoeuvrlngs of the strike ship about a half mlle in front of_us," Laurence writes

" ‘There she goes!‘ someone said. Out of the belly of the Artiste whoa looked like a black object came downward

"Capt, Bock (Frederick Bock, pilot of Laurence‘: bomber) swung around to get out of range, but even though we were gumlng away in the opposite direct on, and de- spite the fact that it was broad daylight in our cabin. all of us be- came aware of a giant, flash that broke through the dark barrier of our arc welders lenses and flood- ed our cabin with an intense light.

“We removed our glasses after the first flash but the light still lingered on. a bluish-green light that illuminated the entire sky all around, A tremendous blast wave struck our ship and made it trem. ble from nose to tail. This was followed by four more blasts in lfﬂDld succession, each resounding like the boom of cannon fire hlt- tlng our plane from all directions.

Giant Ball of Fire

"Observers in me tall of our ship sew a giant ball of lire rise as though from the bowels 0i’ the earth, belching forth enormous white smoke rings. Next they saw a slant lllar of purple tire, 10,000 feet hlg , shooting skyward with enormous speed.

"By the time our ship had made another tum in the direction of the atomic explosion the plll-sr of purple fire had reached the level of our altitude. Only about 45 sec- onds had‘ passed. Awestruck, we watched 1t shoot upward like a meteor coming from the earth m. stead of from outer space, becom- ing even more alive as it. climbed skyward through the white clouds. It was no longer smoke. or dust, oryeven a cloud of flre. It was a llvmg thing. a new species of being 85g? right before our incredulous

of one stage of its evolution, cov_ ermg millions of years in terms of seconds, the entity assumed the form of a grant, square totem pole, with its base about three miles long. tapering off to about a mile at the ml). Its bottom was brown. its centre was amber, its top white. But. it Was a living totem pole, carvedwlth many grotesque masks trimaclnz at the earth.

“Then Just when it appeared as though the thilng had settled down into a state of permanence, there came shooting out Qt the wp a glnat mushroom that increased the height of the pillar lo a total of 46,000 feet The mushroom top was even more alive than the pillar, seething and boiling 1n 3, whm fury of creamy foam, sizzling uvp- wards and then descending earth. ward. a thousand Old Faithful geysers rolled into one.

An Elemental Fury

“It kept struggling in an elem- ental fury. like a creature in the act of breaking the bonds that held it d0Wn. In g few seconds it had freed ltsdf from its gigantic stem and floated upward with tremen. dous speed, its momentum carrying into the stratosphere to a height of about 60,000 feet.

“But no sooner dld this happen when another mushroom, smaller in size than the first one, began emerging out of the pillar. It. was as though the decapitated monster was growing o. new head.

"As the first mushroom floated off lnfn tho blue it changed its shape into a flower-like form. its giant. petal curving downward. creamy whlts outside, rose.colored inside. It still retained that shape when we last gazed at it from a. distance of about 200 miles,"

Of the preliminaries to the flight, Laurence wrote:

"I watched the assembly of this man-made meteor and was among the small group of scientists and army and navy representatives privileged to be present at the ritual of its loading in the Superfort against. a background of threaten. ing black skies torn open at inter- vals by great lightning flashes.

"It ls’ n. thing of beauty to be- hold. this "gadget " In its design went millions of man-hours of what is without doubt the most, concen. trated intellectual effort in history. Never before had so much brain- power been fccussed on a sfngle

problem

"This atomic bomb was different from the bomb used with such dcv. astating results on Hiroshima.

"I saw the atomic substance be- fore it was placed inside the bomb. 18y itself it is not at all dangeroua to handle It is only under certain conditions, produced in the bomb assembly that it can he made to yield up its energy. and even than it gives up only a small fraction of its total contents, a fraction. how- ever, largo enough to produce the greatest explosion on earth."

On Laurences plane were two distinguished observers from Great. Britain. whose scientists played an important role in the development of the atomic bomb. One was Group Capt G. Leonard Cheshire. famous R Al‘ pilot. who now is a, rnsmber of the British Military Miuslon to the United States The

other was Dr. William G Denny, panam- of asollca nntavmﬂhl.

Government Brief

"T0 the chairman and members of the Roan Commission on Coal: "T719 101 W is a summary of the problems o the Coal Dealers in the Province of Prince Edward Island.

"The consumption of coal tn Prince Edward Island ls divided as follows: domestic use; public buildings hospitals, churches, schools, etc.; public utilities - roil- way, light, and ower, water and geverage commits oners; factories- Bruce Stewart as Compan (foun- dry). pasteurized milk actorlcs. butter and cheese factories, fish and meat csnneries; bakeries; laundrles; dry cleaning plants and woollen mills.

“Dllflhl! the war period mere were l93 oil burning furnaces in operation. This number will now be increased by 39. In the City of Charlottetown the following public buildings are also heated by oil; Provincial Building, Law Courts Building, Prince of Wales College and the Provincial Tuber- culosis Sanatorlurn,

“Coal should be shipped to the Province and stored by dealers ln the early summer at. a lower price for the May, June and July ship- mcnis to cover cost qt handling.

"It s the general opinion of the dealers that the mileage rate from the various mines should be the same to points 0n Prince Edward Island as it is throughout the other Provinces.

"To hold present coal users and prevent, them from installing oil burning furnaces for heating pur- poses, lt will be necessary for coal mining companies to see that ma! is well pre ared, well screened and made dust ess by treating with oil. also by sizing and having all stones

So lt ls folly to hang out any warnings for a couple who are in love. It is only when it is too late that they find out that tcmpcr ruins more

I think you will continue to be a widow if you weft for this young man to marry you. You are more than old enough to be his mother and his affection for you is filial. Without knowing any- thing about it, I hazard the guess that you are a good cook and that he hangs around to get cakes and pies like Mother used to make.

There ls no way by which you can get this man to propose to you If you were rich. you might tell him of all the luxuries you would shower upon him. but as you have nothing to offer him but yourself, leave him w marry some girl in his own age class. You would be miserable if you got him.

These poor morons never scam to get it. through their beads that marriage isn't courtship and that there are a ndllion a man's attitude to his wlfe should be different from what it was when she was his sweetheart. Of course, the husband doesn't keep up his high-pressure lovemaking and showering his wife with gifts. Hs he! proved his devotion by undertaking her support, and he says it. with groceries and charge accounts instead nf quoting poetry.

You say you want your husband to baby you and than, you always want to be sweethearts. snap out of 1t. because there is nothing on earth of which an intelligent. rnsn can got so fed up on as always hav- ing to baby his wife. You can't go through life billing and cooing. ‘Phat

But something far better and more beautiful can lskc its place, a. love that is so strong that it stands all the trials of life, an under- standing that makes you know that. if all the balancoof the world were against you. there would still be one to whom you could turn and who would stand by you to the end.
