DESTRUCTION OF LIFE
(Rec. 10 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 8. Perhaps the most fantastic and terrible angle of the atomic bomb was revealed today by an American scientist, Dr Harold Jacobson, who spent two years working on its construction. He said that any area struck by a bomb will remain saturated with death for any human beings who enter it for many years to come. The scientific reason for this is that the terrific explosion eradicates every piece of matter in the area and that the secondary irradiation will kill anyone entering the area. In otherwords, everything in the affected area is now dead and any Japanese going in to investigate the damage . will die.
