Hiroshima - Ten Years Later (Ninth Of Fourteen) -- "I'm just waiting for death." Those are the words of Mrs. Yoshiko Nishikawa, 43, bed-ridden "A-bomb widow" who lives on $22 a month in charity. Yukiko, 15, one of her four children, cools her forehead with a wet towel as the 70-pound widow rests in their nine-foot square room, part of a frame charity home housing families of 20 widows. A small wooden Shinto shrine, in memory of her blacksmith husband who was killed while riding to work, occupies a place of honor. Mrs. Nishikawa suffers from radiation effects because she combed the city searching for her husband after the bomb fell. She has a bad heart and liver trouble. January 07, 1955.
