Book-Length Account
Of Hiroshima Slated
The first book-length, eye wit
ness account of the bombing o.
Hiroshima, written by a Japanese
hospital director and translatec
into English by a young Nortl
Carolina physician, will be pub
lished by the University of North
Carolina press next August, o?
the 10th anniversary of the drop
ping of the A-bomb.
The author, Dr. Michihiko Hachi
ya, was and still is director of the
Hiroshima Communications Hospi
tal, located only about 1500 meters
from the hypocenter of the bomb's
explosion.
His detailed description of tho
bombing and the weeks following
has been translated by Dr. War
ner L. Wells, who is now, on the
surgical staff at N. C. Memorial
Hospital at Chapel Hill and assis
tant professor of surgery at the
UNC Medical School. ,
Dr. Hachiya and Dr. Wells be
came close friends when Wells
went to Hiroshima early in 1950
as surgical consultant to the Atomic
nearer,
for all
back-stage personnel.
The first was No Smoking It
wasn't so much the fire hazard that
caused the ruling, but rather be
cause smoky atmosphere cuts down
the effectiveness of the lighting.
The other rule banned Coke bot
tles. It seems that Director jur
gensen was in a show once when
someone stepped on a bottle back
stage and broke a leg.

Dr. W. P. Friederich, professor

spend a year as a Fulbright lectu
rer. Nationally and internationally
knojvn for his comparative liter

of Melbourne, but will also spend
some time at the Universities of
Adelaide, Brisbane and Canberra.
At Melbourne he will give two

and a survey course in American
literature.

organization sponsored by the Am

dy the long-range effects of atomic
bombing.
Along with advice . from Dr;
Hachiya, Dr. Wells received aid
:n translation- from Dr. Nea! Tsuki
fuji, Japanese-American colleague
there.
Dr. Hachiya began his diary soon
after the blast, though severely
wounded, writing upon scraps of
paper an account of what he saw,
heard and did. As a physician, he
recorded the physical effects of the
explosion initial shock, momenta
ry recovery, later radiation sick
ness and panic as well as the ov
erall reaction to disaster. ,
When American occupation for
ces arrived, Dr. Hachiya discontin
ued his diary, putting it aside un
til 1950 when it was published se-
! rially in a periodical issued by the
Japanese Ministry of Communica
tions. -
As opening night drew
two rules were laid down

sets dressed up a fairly bleak
stage. By Wednesday night, though,
all the sets were in use, most mem
bers of the cast were in full cos
tume, some were in make-up. and
the stage came alive with color
Neatly-stacked flats and furni
ture, ropes and wires criss-crossing
everywhere and work -lights cov
ered with tin-foil appeared back
stage. '
The light crew was going through
its handle-pulling paces with pre
cision. Varying color combinations
from the lights modified the al
ready vivid costumes and sets.
Probably the most difficult part
of the back-stage work will be the
stage crew's job of changing the
sets in a black-out so. complete that
even the work-lights are out.
OUT FRONT
A new sound was added to the
j production Tuesday night the or
chestra arrived. This orchestra has
no official name. It's a group of 20
professional musicians assembled
and directed by Dr. Mason." At
first, they had a little trouble try-r
ing to drown, out the chorus,- bu
the situation improved with , prac
tice. :- ' - ; -- -The
next night, however, the
orchestra wasn't there---just a pi
ano. And the principals weren't
singing. A late-comer to the Latej
Rehearsal -Watchers Society asked
how come and was told that the
soloists were saving their" voices
The Late Watcher was disgrunt
led. , ' ; . 1
SMALL'S LARGE VOICE
There was one voice in the cast;
however, that both the orchestra
and the chorus together could not
overpower. Paradoxically, the name
of the voice's owner is Dave Small.
. Small is a freshman who in IS
years has developed a voice with
all the power and range necessary
to sing Old Man River.
Small is a native of Morehead
City, where he sang for the Beau
fort Choral Club, his high school
Glee Club and a chorus choir. He
calls Show Boat his "first real
venture in show business."
At present, Small is undecided
betwen research physical chem
istry and show business as a future
career, but he says he ought to
know by next year.
ACCENT ON ACTING
With the singing and music down
pat, the accent was placed on act
ing. The play was run through
with the directors taking notes.
Then came the autopsy. With
attention to the constant minutiae,
first one director and then another
made comments to the cast. These
were often humorous.
At one point, Suzanne Elliot, who
plays Julie, was having a little
Trouble with a line thftt read,
"Love's a funny thing; there's no
sense to it." "Stop mouthing your
words." said Jurgensen. "Sounded
like "There's no sex to it.' "
THIS IS IT
Tonights the night.
At 8:30 this evening, the cur
tain will go up, and four weeks
of work will be displayed to a
oacked house.
How the cast and the crews fee1
about opening night is best knowr
to themselves: how the show will
be received is yet to be decided
In all previous press releases or
Show Boat, even in the published
"ast lisfln?. there has been one
faring omission. Syd Litwack,-who
has the largest speaking part in
the whole show, was never men
tioned. Canadian-born Litwack, recent
ly of Los Angeles, is a draftsman
in the University Engineer's Of
fice. He is an actor by preference
and has had considerable exper
ience in this field - on the west
coast. He received his M.A. in
Dramatic Arts here last June.
Litwack described Captain Andy
whose part he will be playing thir
evening, as "a choice prime mix
ture of a number of sympatheti
traits. If he were alive, he woulr"
be a must on everybody's know
list."
"I'm in- this show because I likr
the part and I like the direction,"
added Litwack.
Litwack is also the only mem
ber of the cast to become a father
while the show has been in pro
gress. On February 12, he became
the father of a girl, Suzanne Erent.

Brumfield Calls Newspaper
yThe Second Daily Worker'
By NEIL BASS
The student Legislature, in a sparsely populated scvion
last night, amid statements o "second Daily Worker" by Lew
is Brumfield (SP), and comments by other Legislators voted
to set up a six man committee to "investigate the quality and
circuation problems of The Daily Tar Heel.'
The meeting, attended by 29 of the total J7 legislators,
was proceeding without event until
Charles Hyatt (SP) assumed the
rostrum and exclaimed that "qua!
ity" was lacking on The Daily Tar
Heel, and that "something ought
to be done about it or the' paper
done away with."
Larry McliUroy (SP) added his
opinion to the rein by saying
'something should be done to bring
the Tar Heel down from the olym
pian clouds of pseudo-intellectual-ism
to which Mr. Kuralt has led
it to." McElroy continued his blast
by saying, "Kuralt's references to
the business school, which is one
of the finest in . the South," are
unexcusable "swipes."
Frank Warren (SP) threw his
words into the lot by calling
Charles Kuralt, editor, and Fred
Powledge .managing editor, "lazy"
and "not doing a good job." War
ren, speaker of the Philanthropic
Assembly, offered a solution to
what he called a drastic "need of
help and a "poor coverage" of stu
dent activities by suggesting that
the Tar Heel "put an advertise
ment on the front page saying that
'we need staff.' "
When Lewis Brumfield (SP) got
a chance to assume the rostrum,
he... giving the . niost extreme atti-
tude of the night, said, "Kuralt
should not impose his liberal be
liefs on the student?. The paper
should be more personal and get
down to the students." Ending his
speech, during which he called the
Tar Heel a "second Daily Worker,"
he defined it as a "professional
piece of journalism."
Norwood Bryan (SP) offered a
solution to the "problem" with the
remark that "if the salaries of the
staff were cut and people worked
for the love of the paper," there
might be an improvement.
Jim Turner, chairman of the
Publications Board commented on
the legislators action with "I'm
glad the Legislature has recognized
these things that we have been
working on all year." Tom Lam
beth, also a member of the Board
said that he "knew of no such ac
tion." Jack Stevens, floor leader of the
University Party, said after the
meeting that WI am heartily op
posed to the action- and feel that
the Legislature has acted hastily."
The student Constitution of the
University states that "Neither the
Publications Board nor the stu
dent Legislature shall exercise any
control over the editor and chiefs
of the various publications."

art students to the metropolitan
public. Works from California, Col
orado, Michigan State, Mississippi,
Oklahoma and North Carolina

ter College, Illinois and Texas are

Carolina group.
Ness said that the exhibition not
only added to the young artists
professional stature by sales, but
also gave "extended encouragement
in their potentials through the all
around success of the exhibit."
Marriage & Sex
"Marriage and Sex" will be
the topic for a series of discus
sions beginning Sunday at New
