But he grants that "just as

Hiroshima Surgeon Has
Grim Details of Bomb

HIROSHIMA DIARY. BY
DR.. Michihiko Hachiya. tUni-
versity of North Carolina:
$780,
Talk OF the inhumanity of
the atom bomb comes easy.
But acquiring conviction about
a thing so monstrous is quite
another thing. Reading DR..
Hachiya's diary. as translated
by DR.. Warner Wells, helps
one to understand a little.
Specifically, there is little
in this book that is new. from
either the clinical or even the
human standpoint. John Her
shey had things pretty straight.
But DR.. Hachiya is a Japa-
nese who lived through it. He
glimpsed his ancestors in the
first trying days after the ex-
plosion. then, being luckier
than most, came back to life
to help Hiroshima rebuild. He
tells a simple story of horror.
that did not end with the
blast and the fire, but lived
on through the radiation sick
ness, the bleeding from mouth
and womb, the epilation turn

filth of big city without
plumbing, without even DOT.
His story gathers power as it
moves. One new horror fol-
lows another. in most cases
without even the comfort OF
medical care. The few doc
tors who survived could treat
only a few casualties; none
knew about radiation sickness
when the bomb hit.

There are only oblique allu-

remotely hints at father-son

Noble Savage: The Life Of
Paul Gauguin." BY Lawrence

THE Gold Of Their Bodies:
A Novel About Gauguin." By
Charles Gorham. dial; $780,
The life of Gauguin, like the
lives of Van Gogh and Lautrec,
has an endless fascination
more than has their art for
writer's and the public. Some
years ago. Ventura said of
Gauguin, Although the sacri-
flee he made for art up until
the moment of his death was
of heroic proportions, it is
difficult to rid oneself of the
suspicion that he often con-
fused his art with his thirst
for savage and independent
life, with his desire to impress
upon the world his disgust for
civilization"
Gauguin would have pro-
vided a field day for psychia-
trists, with his mixed ancestry,
exotic childhood, rowdy youth,
his decade or SO of conven-
tional life. and his angry re-
bellion. Two new books on
him appeared within a few
weeks of each other. Both are
vivid and interesting. and any
choice between them, it seems
to me, depends on whether
one prefers biographical or
fictional form. Mr.. Gorham's
novel is based on actual events
with imaginative recreation.
For example. one tragic inter-

sons in less than so words;

with unhappy details recon-
structed.
Biography Preferred
The biography (my prefer
ence) based on new material
and family letters, begins with
Gauguin's courtship Of Mette
Cad, with flashbacks to his
childhood and youth. The
novel begins two years after
Gauguin left the stock ex-
change and has lost all his
money trying to gain a foot
hold with his painting. The
authors of both volumes are
in deep sympathy with their
hero, which is as 1t should be,
and very unsympathetic with
the cold, conventional and
materialistic Mette. But some
readers tprobably women only
will feel, from the scrupulous
recital of incidents, situations
and events. that she had some
Justification for her behavior.
The biography is illustrated
with halftone reproductions
of some OF Gauguin's paint
ines, and photographs Of the
artist and his family. The

is typical of the japanese.
There is a trace of bitterness
toward America. But no hate
campaign. Like his country
men, DR. Hachiya hopes. in
stead. to help convince the
world that atomic war must
never again be unleashed.
Message of Diary
His diary has a message for
most of the people in the
world.
For the policymakers. it can
be a reminder of the inhuman-
ity of nuclear warfare. not only
in it's first blast. but In the
weeks and months that follow
as radiation sickness takes its
grim toll.
For the civil defense worker
there are practical lessons in
mob psychology. and in the
Importance of knowing not
only how to protect ones self
from the blast, but how to
treat after effects as well.
For the American with the
guilty conscience. there is am
pie opportunity for self-con-
demnation.
1t is also worth mentioning,
perhaps, that the very horror
of the A-bomb and its monster
descendants Is a powerful
deterrent to all future wars.
Nuclear weapons now are a
little more forbidding deter
rent, in fact, since DR.. Hachiya
has published his diary. which
is a sort of horror-guage for
the days, months and years OF
inhumanity that can be packed
into single explosion. even

type that the B-29 dropped

The unsettling effects Of

known, and this is another

sedate young English matron.
responds at once to the blue
skies and the blue sea. to the
curious immediacy of her re-

To passion is added strange

as he needs hardly to keep re-

Between ecstasy and laughter,
Celia soon has grown "a skin

to the dictates Of her religion.
