TOKYO, Japan. Sept. 81 - Pro-
fessor Takashi Nagai victim of
atomic bomb radiation. has become
Japan's best-selling author.
Nagai, who resignedly awaits Il
slow death in Nagasaki. has written
four books dealing with his own
experiences after being exposed 20
the bombs deadly Gamma rays.
A survey of best sellers showed
that his latest book. Leaving My
Children Behind. led the field in
fiction and non-fiction during the
first six months of this year. Almost
300 900 copies of it were sold.
Nagais four books are a day-by-
day chronicle of the agonizing re-
suits of the radiation. He tells how
his skin stretched so tight over his
bones that he felt that it could not
extend further. A distended spleen
caused his abdomen to extend three
feet; a slight conclusion would

stay in Seattle, the twenty-od
Hawaiian businessmen who arrived

with regrets that they couldn't pro-

~ JAPAN. THAT is
Dancing Is Here
To Stay for Good

for Japanese.
In the days Immediately after
the war, the dance halls we're nc
place for decent girl to be seer
in. Men who went danced with tax
dancers.
Now, however the picture is dras-
tically changed. "Ojosans" rub Shout
ders with taxi dancers. office work
ers and even "jogakko" middle
school girls. At least half the GUS
toners are couples now.
Also. compared with two or three
years ago. the dance halls are not
as packed. partly due to the tight
money situation. In order to make
up the deficit due to the scarcity of
customers at night, many of the
halls have afternoon sessions with
half or a third Of the usual rates.
People who are learning and stud
ents are the regular customers of
the daytime session.
AS far as the dancing itself is
concerned, they are using the same
steps they we're three years ago
the same old stuff with no changes
or improvements. They use set steps,
and watching the people dancing,
you'd think they were going through
some compulsory lessons. so serious
is the look on their faces. It's a far
cry from the beaming looks on the
faces of a bunch of State-side kids
at a dance party.
Nobody seems to have the initia-
tive to invent some new and novel
steps. Many of the young bunch arc
still doing the half-time, which was

to ten years ago, and they have a

Conservative parents, of course
still frown on dancing but on the
whole the broader outlook prevails
Quite few of the schools teach
dancing after classes. and univer-
stiles at their yearly bazaars arc
even holding dance parties. Times
certainly have changed.
Although the dance fever has
cooled somewhat since it reached
its peak about two years ago. it's a
sure thing that dancing is here to
stay in postwar Japan. Whether 1t
is a good thing or not, who can tell?
