Tokyo Admits Damage
Done By 'New
Type Bombs'-
By The Associated Press
Reverberations of a single
terrifying bomb which possibly
obliterated a Japanese military
city yesterday drowned out the
roar of high explosives rained by
125 Superforts today on Toy
okawa naval arsenal 175 miles
southwest of Tokyo.
. London predicted the allies
would hand Japan a new ulti
matum packing the power of the
atomic bomb that blasted Hiro
shima. Emperor Hirohito's ad
visers would have a choice be
tween unconditional surrender
within 48 hours or oblivion for
their sacred islands.
Washington mentioned Tokyo
itself, or another key Nipponese
city, as the next probable target
of the terrible atomic bomb.
Admits Damage -
Tokyo, in the cautious words
of an imperial communique, ad
mitted "considerable damage"
was caused to Hiroshima by the
"new type bombs." Apparently
destruction was so great the Nip
ponese war lords couldn't be
lieve it was a single bomb. Rail
transportation to the city on the
southern shores of Japan's main
island was cut off. "Details are
now under investigation," Nip
pon's high command said.
Some sources" in Washington
suggested . the' "details";' would
show the city of more than 300,
000 persons was just about wiped
out by the single bomb.
The bomb was dropped by
parachute "and exploded in the
air before reaching the ground,"
the government-controlled Jap
anese Domei news agency re
ported. It conceded that the
bomb had "considerable de
structive power."
. . "As a result of this wanton
attack," Domei said, "a consider
able number of houses -in the
city were demolished" and scat
tered fires flared up.
Pamphlets Dropped-
Both sides exploited the propa
ganda value of war's newest and
most devastating weapon. ' Amer
ican planes showered Japan with
pamphlets on the destructive
ness of the bomb. Tokyo -said
U. S. "impatience at the slow
progress of the projected in
vasion of the Japanese mainland
drove the enemy to resort to
such inhuman tactics."
While a strict military censor
ship bottled up details of just
what happened to Hiroshima,
cryptic-official reports and re
sults of experiments with the
atomic bomb indicated it was
something like this:

New Weapon To
Be War-Ending,
World -Shaping
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER i
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 IP) Tokyo or one of Japan's other
great war Industry 'centers is believed here today to be next on
the list for atomic bomb destruction.
This is the view of officials trying to evaluate the possible
effects of the terrifying new weapon both on bringing this war
to an early end and on shaping the world of tomorrow.
From what has been announced publicly by President Tru
man and other American and British officials lt is clear that old
ideas of national defense and security based even on weapons
as modern as the rockets Hitler used against London are due to
undergo radical changes.
In its impact on peaceful pursuits, the newly harnessed energy
still is some years from practical use, according to official re
ports, but it may revolutionise industry and trade of the future.

der atomic disintegration, Japan
trembled for miles around as
though shaken by one, of the is
land's familiar earthquakes.
Packs A Wallop
The bomb, which may be
packed by the new B-32, was de
scribed as 2000 times as destruc
tive as any other bomb and car
rying an explosive power equiv
alent to 20,000 tons of TNT. A
pea-sized amount of the atomic
death can excavate a hole large
enough to hold a house.
Unveiling of the atomic bomb
perhaps explains why some com
manders in the Pacific have
hinted that the war against Ja
pan might be won from the air.
The Nipponese have no defense
against threatened atomic bomb
attack, described by President
Truman as "a rain of ruin from
the air the like of which has
never been seen.'V
Typically, Mustang fighters
guarding today's raiding B-29s
found no enemy interceptors to
fight. Superfort crews reported
"excellent results" in tneir mid
day attack on the Toyokawa na
val arsenal, one of the ten larg
est in Japan. - !
Only Loss
Of 600 bombing and mine-laying
B-29s over Japan yesterday,
only one was shot down and its
crew was rescued.
Tokyo reported- 40 Mustangs
from Iwo Jima, accompanied for
the first time by "several British
planes," raided the Tokyo-Yokohama
area today. Nearly 100
Mustangs ripped up the same
area" vesterdav.7 ' i. s -
Evidently with this- in mind
President Truman made clear m
his announcement of the new
bomb yesterday that the devel
opment of atomic power in this
country is to be kept under
tight government control.
Because of its enormous po
tentialities for both war and
peace, the use of atomic energy
is a two-sided Droblem. Here
are principal points of both sidesf
as developed in omciai state
ments and interpreted by those
'qualified to do so: i
Effect on tne war wun japan:
Dropping of. the first atomic
bomb on the Japanese army
base at Hiroshima Sunday night
was mainly a warning; to the en
emy. Pending full reconnais
sance reports, it is believed here
that the city, which had a pre
war population of 318,000, was
largely if not completely wiped
out.
. American propaganda broad
casts are bombarding the Japan
ese with reports of this mighty
new weapon. Enemy warlords
can determine for themselves
what it did at Hiroshima with a
destructive force comparable to
20,000 tons of TNT.
The Japanese have no ade
quate defense against this wea
pon anymore than against regu
lar aerial bombardment. They
can only surrender or face de
struction. The hour is the most
critical in their national history.
Few top officials here expect
a surrender at once, and Mr.

weak points of the American
people at their face value. Al
though they are looking forward
for a quick termination of the
war, they are not the kind of
people who will seek a com
promise because of this."
Nomura's comments were
broadcast by Tokyo radio and
recorded by the federal com
munications commission, which
likewise heard a heterogeneous
group of Japanese broadcasts in
dicating to some extent the cur
tailment of activities which the
war has caused in Japanese na

In one report, the Bank of
Japan announced that because
of communications damage, and
lack of lnbor, reports would be
