London, June 30. One hundred thousand persons would be killed or injured, and 300,000 others would be rendered homeless by the explosion of one atomic bomb over a large British city, a British mission re- ported today.

It estimated:

50,000 persons would be kill

100,000 non-casualties would. be homeless permanently, for the montka required to ut major repairs, and 200,000 would be temporarily
