NAGASAKI, Japan (Delayed) .—

Capt. John Farley, of Raton, N M.,, ‘a dentist, and LL. a Dutch doctor, are commandants of two allied prison camps at the mouth of the harbor of Nagasaki, southern Kyushu, This camp was partly crippled by the second atomic bomb. Capt. Farley saw the bomb fall. Vink: ‘was in: the blast. Their prison camps were so located that

it could not have been otherwise, |

A week before the bomb fell Vink and Dutch Lt. Kick Aalders went to the Japs and protested against prisoners” being obliged to live next door to the

Mitsubishi shipfitting plant

| where they worked,

» o ” THE B-29s had been over earlier and the camp was smack in a war plant area, There were about 200 persons in

the camp, three-quarters of them Dutch, The Japs ruled that prisoners

must, lake the same risks as Jap workmen, Later the Dutch renewed the plea and asked the right to build an underground shelter, This was later granted. The hole yas just started when the atomic bomb fell. ’ » ” » FORTY-EIGHT prisoners were killed instantly and four others died later. The camp was knocked flat. It has been rebuilt inside the eastern front of the harbor, Accounts from witnesses on the

| ground--the first known stories of | their

kind--offer startling new versions of the atomic bomb. Here is Farley's quiet story: “I was looking up the harbor toward the Mitsubishi plants five miles from here when I saw a terrific flash, white and glaring like a photographer's flare. : “The center was about 1500 feet above the ground. “The light was projected up~ ward as well as downward. It | quivered and was prolonged about 30 seconds,

, » y “I HIT the ground. The building began to quiver and shake. Glass shattered around me; about a third of the camp's windows broke. i “After the blast passed I saw a tall white cloud liké a pillar about four or high. Inside churning.” About 11:30 a. m. Aug. 9, day of the bombing, a Jap lieutenant, alde to the district's commander, was walking on a hill above the waterfront, He heard motors and through Aeld glasses saw two B-20s at about 22,000 feet. They high for anti-aircraft fire,

" n n SUDDENLY there broke from the forward plane three parachutes. They seemed to hear three oblong boxes, about 30 inches long and 8 wide. The lieutenant took them to be some new form ol pampnlet propaganda, Then something violent happened, When the chutes were about 5000 feet up there suddenly

occurred below them, at about 1500 feet, & burst of flame. Instantly the yellow

It climbed up and up, The lieutenant féll flat, When he arose Nagasaki was afire, Harold Bridgman, Witten, S. D,, a civillan worker captured when Wake island fell in 1941, saw the bomb hanging in the air, “The blast was so powerful it seemed to suck your breath away,” he said,

LEON BLUM URGES ‘FAMILY OF NATIONS’

. LONDON, Sept. 18 (U. P.L.~Leon Blum, French socialist lesder and elder statesman, said today that Britain and France must become the nucleus of a western FEuropeah “family of nations” free of suspicion or hostility toward the Soviet Union. “I do not like the. term western bloc,” Blum said at a press confer ence. “The nations must come to gether with a community of - ideas and convergence of economic inLerests.” wii A major prerequisite to the evolution of the “family of nations” in western, northern and southern Europe, Blum said, is a PrancoBritish alliance founded on understanding and concerted action. Blum said such a family of nations as he envisaged must recognize three conditions: 1. It must be free of suspicion or hostility toward Russia. 2, It must be free of economic defensiveness against the United States. 3. It must- not be separate from

the world organization, but rather a step toward it.
