"We expect to be down to 2,500,-1 000 by next July 1. That content j , plates the discharge of 6,000,0001 by that time. We intend to follow

the point system to the greates. extent possible." , Patterson uald that the critical point score will be reduced as conditions’warrant to meet that goal.

They stepped out on a brittle crust of gray-green glassy substance. That was the earth's surface that had been fused by the terrific heat ot the blast. It crackled like crusted snow when they walked on it. They picked up and pocketed bits of the crust. The stuff was slightly radioactive but had been tested by instruments and found to be not dangerous. Probe Hiroshima Tokyo, Sept. 12 —(UP) —Brig. Gen. T. F. Farrell, chief of the atomic bomb mission to Hiroshima, announced today that "no measureable radioactivity” w|is found in the devastated city although American doctors found a number of patients whose symp-

toms were similar to those caused by radiation. "The actual number and proportions (of casualties) probably will never be known," Farrell told a press conference upon his return from the city blasted by the atomic bomb. "The largest number of casuallies probably resulted from blasts of missiles and fires,” the geneial said. Farrell, commenting on Japanese reports that citizens had died from radioactivity, said that it might be possible that some persons in the area did sjuccumb to such causes, although no actual cases were found. Farrell's mission made merely a prellminarv survey and American medical men and scientists still are pursuing their study of the area. The Japanese, he said, apparently had not made much progress in the development of an atomic bomb of their own. The general told correspondents that from 80 to 90 percent
