Group Studying Atomic Bomb
Effects in Japan Not Popular
Hiroshima, -Japan (U.R)
One of the most unpopular or
ganizations in this city, deva
stated by an atomic bomb just
10 years ago, is the American
Medical Commission studying
what the bomb did to survivors
nrThe Atomic Bomb Casualty
Commission is trying to find the
'answers to the question, "What
does atomic radiation do to the
human body?"
Not Fully Supported
Fot several reasons, its search
has not won the full support of
Hiroshima's 350,000 citizens.
"There are strong voices
here," German priest Father
Hugo Lasalle said, "that say the
ABCC should treat victims of
the A-bomb rather than carry
on researches."
Father Lasalle, vicar general
"of the Hiroshima Roman Catho
lic diocese who has lived in Ja
pan 26 years, blamed the feeling
on a "misunderstanding" of the
i commission's purpose.
The 'bomb commission is an
pgency of the non-governmental
'U.S. National Academy of Sci
ences. Not Treatment Cntt
It offers, in most cases, only
emergency medical treatment,
leaving therapy problems to
Japanese doctors and hospitals,
who are invited to consult the
, commission on all medical prob
lems. '
Mayor Tadao Watanabe, an at
torney and. former Diet member,
said that "average citizens dis
like the ABCC because they be
lieve it is handling people like
guinea pigs."
Another sore point, he said,
resulted from the construction of
ABCC buildings in one of Hiro
shima's most popular parks and
near a Japane?e military shrine.

quonset style buildings are on

from nearly every part of Hiro
shima. Dr. Robert H. Holmes, director
of the commission, is aware of
the criticism and wants to win
public support.
Pasted on a pencil jar on his
desk is this quotation from Ab
raham Lincoln: "With public
opinion, nothing can fail; with
out it, nothing can succeed."
Missing Girl Found
Floating on Salt Lake
Salt Lake City k'U.R) A 15-year-old
Colorado girl became
lost last night while swimming
in the buoyant waters of Great
Salt Lake but was rescued, un
harmed, by deputies after she
had been floating for two and
one-half hours.
The girl was Betty Ottero, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam
uel Ottero of Fruita, Colo. She
and other members of the fam
ily went swimming in the lake
last evening.
The others got out but Betty
kept swimming. When she failed
to return to the, beach, a county
boat went out.
Deputies heard the girl call
ing for aid, located her with a
searchlight and took her into
the boat.
Waters of the lake contain
more than 22 per cent salt, mak
ing it virtually impossible to
sink.

visitors. Nearly 5,000 tourists a
year go to the ABCC and are
shown through the laboratories
by four full-time guides.
Its medical library of 15,000
books is open to Japanese medi

Hiroshima doctors are invited
to send patients, even with non
atomic ailments, to the commis
sion's clinic for specialized ex
aminations and advice on treat
ment. About 10 referral patients are
seen by the commission doctors
each week.

By Reviewer for Top
'Henry' Performaces
The Oregon Shakespearean
festival ended its first round of
four plays last night in Ashland
before an audience that could
have been, and should have been
larger.
Those that stayed away from
Henry VI, Part III, apparently
on the traditional theory that
the history plays aren't quite
up to Shakespeare's other works
missed a very good performance.
It escaped being excellent by
only the slightest of- margins,
and it gives promise of being
just that before the season ad
vances much further.
Some of the individual per
formances were excellent. No
other word will do them justice.
We particularly have in mind
the jobs turned in by H. Paul
Kliss, as Henry VI, the Godly
but weak king of England, and
William Oyler, as Richard, Duke
of Gloucester.
We've gained respect for these
two in past Festival seasons, and
they did nothing to let us down
last night.
Kliss was particularly effective
in the scene in which Henry
stands alone, watching the bat
tle, caring less about who wins
than about having the continual
strife come to an end.

night was as dark a villain as
any who have trod the festival
theater boards, effectively built
up the part of the mentally and
physically misshapen Richard,
giving promise of the turmoil to
come in next year's Richard
III.
We also liked Irene G. Baird,
as Queen Margaret; Thomas
Luce, as Lord Clifford, and. as
usual, Richard Graham, as Earl
of Warwick.
Miss Baird, in particular, did
a fine job. She plays the violent
Margaret on a sustained, intense
level throughout the lengthy
play.
Credit also should go to Don
ald E. Soule, as Edward IV, "and
to Joan Kugell, as Edward,
Prince of Wales.
And we would be doing less
than justice if we failed to men
tion little Anne Sandoe, as Ed
mund, Earl of Rutland. This
young lady would make a hit
with any audience, if for no
other reason than for her size
and childish voice.
But, she deserves more than
that. She is not a grade school
child appearing with a group of
adult actors. She is a definite
part of the cast.
Actors in two of the other
lesser parts deserve mention
here. They are Brad Curtis, who
seems to get a little better every
time we see him, as Duke of
York, and Marjorie Schaffer, as
Lady Grey.
The things we didn't like were
comparatively few, and in all
cases minor.
For example, we thought J.
Ramond Burgin's performance as
Duke of Exeter left rather a flat
spot in the opening scene. Then
there are those stereotyped bat
tle scenes, which have not
changed a particle since we saw
our first historical play in Ash
land five years ago.
The behind scenes noise was,
it seemed, more than necessary.
And at times we were conscious
of a lesounding echo to some of
the speeches. Like most histories,
the play is overly long.
However, these were only
minor. The play stands above
them and we enjoyed it. Director
James Sandoe has done a good
job.
This also seems like a good
spot to mention James M. Baker,
Clarissa Berning, and Martin
Bliefernich, the three University
of Oregon students who sing
Elizabethan music before each
night's performance. To our un
tutored ear, it sounded like the
best Elizabethan music the festi
val has ever had. J.J.

Ike, Democrats
Divided on Job
Done by Congress
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower and Democratic
leaders split sharply today over
whether the outgoing Congress
did a good job on domestic legis
lation. Mr. Eisenhower went out of
his way at his press conference
yesterday to praise Congress for
its record on foreign affairs. But
he said it would be "completely
futile" to label its domestic ac
complishments successful. This
raises the possibility, the Presi
dent warned,, that he might have
to call a special session.
Special Session Doubtful
Democratic lawmakers scoffed
at the President's implied threat
to recall Congress to act on his
stalled highway bill. And in
formed Republican sources also
doubted privately that Mr. Ei
senhower would call a special
session unless a critical interna
tional situation develops.
Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.)
proclaimed the first session of
the 84th Congress "one of the
most fruitful" he had ever ser
ved in. "What for?" he asked
when informed of the President's
statement about a special session.
Rayburn and acting Senate
Democratic Leader Earle C. Cle
ments of Kentucky both said the
Democratic-led Congress had a
great record. Rayburn said fur
ther progress will be made next
year.
Highway Program
"I don't think members who
have been here through this long
session would be in a very good
humor if they are called back in
the middle of their vacations,"
he told a reporter.
President Eisenhower said
that of 13 bills he listed early in
June as important for congress
ional approval only four were
passed, and some of these with
"provisions that were not wise."
One of the failures he cited was
his highway, program.
The Senate passed a road bill,
far different from what the
President asked. But the whole
highway program was killed in
the House late in the session.
Eager Gamblers
Arrested by Police
Middletown, N. J. (U.R) Po
lice arrested eight impatient New
Yorkers yesterday for gambling
aboard a boat bound from New
York to Middletown.
The boat was a "race track
special" which daily takes com
muters to the Monmouth Park
race track.
