Atomic bombing is cheaper and more economical eco-nomical than the use of TNT as an explosive, Col. Kenneth D. Nichols, district engineer of the Manhattan Engineer district, said recently at a press conference. ."Figuring the cost of the 2,000 bombers it would take to drop a similar destructive charge, atomic bombing Is cheaper both In costs and in men's lives," he said. "The number of men that atomic bombing bomb-ing enables to stay far behind the lines must be considered." He said also that construction is continuing at Oak Ridge. But what we have produced here was done more to help eid the war than is shown in the expenditure expendi-ture of $2,000,000,000." Nichols said the safety record for the Manhattan district was better than for army engineering construction con-struction as a whole. |
