SHIPWRECK
Rescued Boy Relates
Horror on Death Raft

Bodies Lashed Together
He fell asleep, Terry said.
and when he awoke, Mr.. Brad
ford was dead. He lashed him
to the raft with Mr.. Hartman
and drifted on.
Early yesterday morning
while fog hung low over the
Pacific, the raft was spotted
by seamen aboard the Ruth
Marie, an ocean fishing boat.
Terry was taken aboard. The
rescuerS recovered Mr.. Mart
mans body but Mr.. Bradford's s
body slipped from the raft and
disappeared.
The boy drank broth and
later was transferred to the
submarine USS Diodon, on
maneuvers in the area.
He slept most of the time
aboard the sub and spoke little
of his ordeal. He came ashore
in a stretcher, sunburned and
oe-lesS.
He and his mother en-
braced tearfully. Terry's IA
ther, George McClelland, is
estranged from Mrs. McClel-
land and resides at Salinas
Calf.
Terry told his mother: I'm
all right. mother, but I DOM
want to talk about it."
After a brief talk with news
men, the boy was taken tc
Balboa Naval Hospital. There
a doctor said he had suffered
only from malnutrition and ex-
posure but was in fairly good
condition. The doctor added
I"his youth saved him."

List Revised Frequently
Surgeon General Luther l.
Terry has defended the State
sanitary control programs. The
United States Public Health
Service reviews the programs
and publishes a list of inter-
state clam shippers who have
been certified by the States.
The list is revised % times a
year.
CLANS harvested from waters
approved by the State and GER
titled for interstate shipment
are safe to eat raw, Terry said.
In mid-April, the PHS asked all
shellfish-producing States to
intensity their safety checks, he
said.
Both DR.. Henderson and DR.
Terry have emphasized that
only raw shellfish have been
involved in the cases analyzed
so far. There are indications
that the intense and prolonged
heat needed to produce clam
chowder or oyster stew kills
the hepatitis virus, DR.. Hen
derson said.
Other Clam CategOries
But steamed clans, which in
comparison are barely warmed,
may carry the disease, he
warned. Fried clans are an un-
known quantity, but none OF
the cases studied this year has
been attributed to them.
The Communicable Disaese
Center now receives reports
from State health departments
on every adult case of hepatitiS
discovered. Interviewers seek to
determine if there is any con-
nection with raw ShellfiSh OF
any of several other causes ot
the disease.
Hepatitis epidemics occur ir
a Ito 10-year cycle, DR.. Hen

parently the peak year in the
current period, thus complicat-

ATLANTA, Ga, July /
(AP) Eating raw shellfish
from unknown sources is a
little like playing Russian
roulette. says a Government
scientist.
But his boss, the United
States Surgeon General, says
the situation is not so bad as
some have pictured it.
|. DR.. Donald Henderson of the
United States Communicable
Disease Center in Atlanta made
the charge but emphasized that
not all clans and oysters are
contaminated.
DR.. Henderson, who is chief
of the Surveillance Section OF
the Epidemiology Branch at
the center, has supervised re-
search into diseases carried by
shellfish.
This year, more than $50
cases of infectious hepatitis in
Southern New England, New
York, New Jersey, Alabama and
Mississippi have been traced to
eating contaminated clans and
oysters. Similar outbreaks in
the Pacific Northwest are being
investigated.
In Polluted Waters
! The sea creatures are not
diseased, DR.. Henderson ex-
planned, but they may have
been harvested in polluted
water.
The biggest current outbreak
is in the New York area, where
$50 cases Of hepatitus have
been traced to a polluted clam
bed in Raritan Bay, off the
New Jersey Coast.
The clam bed has been closed
for nearly two months, but the
job of tracing the disease con-
tinues. The number of new
cases of hepatitis in the north
east has fallen off since the
Raritan Bay clam bed was
closed, DR.. Henderson said, but
he estimates another $50 cases
of persons who already have
the disease will be traced to
the same source.
Infectious Hepatitis is a dis
ease which attacks the liver
and is characterized by extreme
WEAKNESS, lack of appetite
sornesss, jaundice, fever anc
other symptoms. Patients fire.
quently require many months
to recover from it, but it il
rarely fatal.
CLANS Taken Illegally
There were indications thai
some clans involved in the
New York outbreak were taker
in violation of regulations anc
from areas closed because oi
likely contamination.
But the scientists are moi
concerned merely with com.
mercial operators. Ten cases ot
hepatitiS have been traced tt
an area near Greenwich, Conn.
where persons dug their owr
clans, DR.. Henderson said.
The first big outbreak of the
disease this year which wa:
traced to shellfish occurred ir
Ala bama and Mississippi
Eighty patients were found tt
have eaten raw oysters taker
from a bed at the mouth o.
the Pascagoula River II
Mississippi.
I'VE now have an intensified
surveillance progra Dr.
Henderson said, "but unless
rather drastic changes are ef'
fected in the harvesting anc
marketing of shellfish, new
outbreaks are expected"
Shellfish harvested in a pol
luted area will clean themselves
if put in clean water for 24-4t
hours, DR.. Henderson said. Tht
creatures live by pumping wa
ter through themselves anc
extracting food from it, anc
they will pump enough in tht
course of a day or two to re.
move any hepatitis virus they
might be carrying.
Most States have regulations
regarding the harvesting O.
shellfish, but enforcement il
difficult. In one State, DR.
Henderson said, the Attorne!
General ruled that the con.
servation department, which
had the boats to patrol thu
coast, could not legally enforce
the rules of the health depart

though, the work consists of
large concrete panels. On
them the colors of flowers
are sprinkled the way a
patch of woods in spring can
look. Again, a bouquet is
represented and it looks like
an upgush of color. Bulls,
and ladies and horses appear
elsewhere on the concrete.
Inevitably there arises the
suggestion of cave paintings
but above all there is the
spirit of the artist. Much Of
the effect of the work comes
from the contrast between
the grainy. heavy concrete
and the light touches with
which Mr.. Lazzari creates
his flowers and figures.
AS if to emphasize the
dominance of his spirit, he
includes in the Associated
show a few twisted. hardened
and mounted studio rags.
The effect here is of the old
parlor magician. who could
take a handkerchief. twist it

Associated Artists

Pietro Lazzari, one of about
three people who might be
described as the dean of
Washington artists. is dis
playing remarkable dean
manship right now by having
an exhibition of paintings in
one gallery. Associated Artists,
and an exhibition of draw
ings in another, Capitol Hill.
This is the kind of thing that
makes the impartial observer
examine a little more closely
the credentials Washington
has been presenting lately for
qualification as a profess
sional art city of Importance.
1t is hard to imagine two
competing commercial CALLER
les in New York, London,
Paris or Rome, allowing such
an arrangement for the work
of a living artist on the ros-
ter of one of the galleries.
Whatever the social impli-
cations of the arrangement,
however, the work itself GER
tainly pleaSes. Like Mr.. As
Setta, Mr.. Lazzari has for
years been experimenting
with substances harder than

Fine Example Of Dutch Still Life
New National Gallery Masterpiece

The National Gallery of Art
has acquired an important
example of l7th century
Dutch still life painting,
Vase of Flowers" by Jan
Davicsz. de Hemm. The pic
ture, purchased last spring
from the art dealer, Paul
Rosenberg. goes on public
view today in Gallery A. 1t
will amply repay repeated
visits.
IN the words of Director
John Walker, the new de
Hemm could we'll summarize
the achievement of Dutch
and Flemish Towering paint
ing. 1t is a brilliant solution
to the problem of profusion
and control"
Indeed it is. The bouquet
throws out its blossoms in a
profusion suggesting that of
nature itself. The artist
brings together not only the
exotic blooms of the intensely
cultivated garden, but also
wild flowers. To these are
added vegetables. most no.
tably several thick cabbage
leaves. berries and grasses,
and representatives of the
insect and reptile worlds.
Snails, caterpillars, butter
flies, a bee, a spider and a
lizard.
Yet this wild profusion of
nature is tightly organized in
a design as severe as that of
any Cubist. The picture is
controlled by two strong di-
agonalS of stalks and blooms:
the flowers themselves create
an almost perfect oval with
in the rectangle of the frame.
Nevertheless this seemingly
iron regularity of design is
profoundly disturbed. The
disturbance gives the picture

mated and we seem, for a
moment, to be confronted
with the vase of flowers it
self. We are not, of course;
it is "only art" and here the
disturbance begins.
The disturbance continues
in the design. The oval Of the
subject is created by the fact
that the two complementary
life processes are Simultane-
ously present. The flowers are
born and reach up to the sun.
yet they also wither and die
and bend back to earth.
Death and TRANSPORTATION are
revealed as the real theme
of the work. The top and most
brilliant blossom attracts a
newly emerged butterfly on
the left, a crawling cater
pillar on the right of it's
stem. In all the richness of
color, a main line is carried
by the broken blade of wheat
that emerges from the CEN
ter and curves down past
the cracked marble toward
the black void-or toward the
world of the viewer.
Mostly subtly and most eff
fectively, though, the note Of
disturbance is in the design
itself. Despite the oval, de-
spite the strong diagonals,
the picture is not truly CEN
tered. The diagonals meet at
a point just off center-and
they meet. significantly. in a
black void at the very heart
of the composition. The ef-
feet is emphasized in the slab
of marble; it is not simply
a support. For one thing, it
is cracked; for another. it
ends. on the right: The whole
structure is therefore sup
ported on a ground that ends

much OF its human and
aesthetic value beyond its
astonishing virtuosity in rem
dering the colorS and textures
of still life subjects. The vir-
tuoSity should not be dis
counted. It's an amazing per-
formance at every point, but
the point at which the tech
nical achievement is most in
escapable is in the vase it
self. almost hidden by the
flowers. 1t is of glass and it
reflects the window in the
room, distorting the windows
rectangle in the curve Of the
vase. Furthermore, the glass
vase has a false bottom like
a champagne bottle. Thus,
that portion of the painting
contains the following: On
the outside of the vase, the
distorted reflection of the
window; on the farther, in
side of the vase. a curve Of
reflected light, also from the
window but now generalized;
the surface of the water as a
plane parallel to the shelf
or table top on which the
vase rests; the stalks of the
flowers both above and below
the surface Of the water; the
false bottom as a form with
in the vase: the false bottom
as containing space of its
own; and the false bottom as
a further distortion of the
space seen through it.
Also virtuoso is the paint
ing process itself. This is re-
markable because it isn't
there at all. In the manner
most famous in Vermeer, the
paint seems to have been
floated onto the canvas, as if
enamel; there isn't a brush
stroke visible anywhere. Thus
the act Of painting is elm

Ores Gallery

New technique is also i'm
portant in the new exhibition
at the Ores Gallery. The
technician is the Italian art
ist, Franco AsSetto. The tech
nique is one of his own de-
vising. 1t involves a sub
stance called aluminium gel.
This perhaps is derived from
his early training as a phar-
maceutical chemist. At any
rate it has the properties of
being plastic and workable
when first mixed and then
hardening rapidly and very
firmly. The large works on
view at the Ores are all as
hard as rock and the visitor
is invited to knock them, rap
them, run his hands over
the low relief and in general
experience the paintings as
if they were sculpture as
well.
They are nevertheless more
painting than sculpture,
though the low relief aspect
adds much. Color is also de-
rived from chemical addition
to the basic gel and Is bright
and vibrant. The substance
apparently demands work
fast and sure and the artist
meets its demands. AS an
old surrealist, Mr.. Assetto is
interested in meaning and
the pieces are executed with
considerable dash. To judge
from his titles he is inter-
ested in aggression" yet the
impact of the show is not
aggressive. The tone of the
painting is one of rather
bouncy joy. Clear lines sweep
across the large canvas to
be broken by relief passages
of indentations. .Colors are
loud but not garish and the
overall effect is quite
pleasant.
One relatively small work
connects his distractions
with an earlier ronanticism.
Out of the plastic flux in this
work one sees clearly a lower
ing sky and a stormy sea.
