The

Forces
have
dropped
a
second
atomic
bomb
in
Ja-i.
This
bomb
was
dropped
on
Nagaskaki
at
noon,

Time.
Crew
members
of

Superfortress
ments
which
raided
Nagaskaki
say
results
were
d
to
excellent.
No

until

mission
returns

In

No
Indication
of
the
.size
of
the
raiding
force'was
given.
Nagaskaki
has
an
estimated
population
of
250,000.
It
Is
rather
smaller
in
size
than
Hiroshima
the
first
city
to
be
atom-bombed.
Hiroshima
was
sixty
percent
destroyed
or
even
more
and
it
can

Is
