Letters Written
In Sad Memory
Of Hiroshima
BURNING CONSCIENCE. BY

BURNING CONSCIENCE. BY
Claude Eatherly and Gun
ther Anders. Monthly Re-
view Press; So
A book Of letters seems
innocuous. But not when
one Of the correspondents is
Claude Eatherly, the pilot
who gave the go-ahead to
bomb Hiroshima.
Burning Conscience" holds
the letters of a man tor
mented with memories of
Hiroshima. The letters were
written in a VA mental hos
pital where Eatherly had
been confined after numer-
Gus irregular adventures.
Normal Aftereffects
In 1859 a European phi
loSopher, Gunther Anders,
became interested in the
Eatherly case and began
a correspondence with the
unstrung pilot. When VA
doctors we're saying that
Eatherly's behavior was path
illogical, Gunther assured his
pen pal that frenzied after
effects following Hiroshima
were normal.
The letters as presented
are the case for Claude
Eatherly and hold the reader
as tensely interested as
courtroom drama. One of the
standard arguments is the
Eichmann argument. Eich-
mann, who was responsible
for the killings of millions of
Jews, relieved himself OF re-
SponSibility on the grounds
that he was nothing but a
cog" in the machine of
terror" and therefore, not
guilty. Claude Eatherly would
not accept the cog in the
machine" morality.
The letters between Claude
and his friend present a case
not only for Claude, but
against atomic stockpiling.
No matter how one may feel
about the atomic arms race,
one cannot help but respond
to the voice of a man who
cries out that the individual
in today's world of experts
must face the responsibility
for his own actions and the
actions Of the society in
which he lives.

real trouble is that father

10 words ana sentences ana
the other impedimenta of
literature, for he has more
important matters to attend
to. There are three aspects
Of his book-the Mau Mau,
African big game hunting.
and a love story of a white
safari guide and a wealthy
and lonely American divorce.
Mr.. Ruark tackles all three
with a great deal of disarm-
ing charm. and, in the case
of the big game hunting, what
must be considerable perS IN
al knowledge and affection.
"Uhuru" is the SWahili
word for freedom" In
Africa today it is common to
all languages, and agitates
the minds and emotions of
almost everyone; as it does
everywhere in the world
freedom means different
things to different people. To
Mr.. Ruark's hero. Brian Der
mott, a native-born Kenya
white man, it means the right
to live on the land of his
forefsthers, love the few
blacks Of his own retinue and
hate most other Negroes. To
the black population of Ken
va 1t means throwing off the
yoke, real or imaginary, of
colonialism.
When the book opens.
Brian is the owner of a firm
outfitting safaris into the
hunting country of Kenya,
but earlier in his career he
has been a hunter of men.
The Mau Mau are an army
Of terrorists who in cruelty
and sadism SurpaSs the Tar
tar hordes. Intelligent and
INSCRIPTIONS politicians in
cite the savages by a clever
perversion Of age-old reli-
giouS beliefs-human sacri-
flee and the scapegoat. The
Mau Mau steal children
which they kill in a sacri-
ficial rite, and then force an
enemy to eat the child.
Thereupon the enemy is
buried alive, and being thus
put away in symbol is also
disposed of in fact.
The Mau Mau's capacity
for cruelty is boundless. One
would think that men who
find pleasure in beheading,
diSemboweling, mutilating
and burying alive human be-
ingS would find the senSeless
torture of animals a tame.
perhaps actually degrading,
sport. But they cut off the
feet Of living cattle, and
break the bones of goats in
an Unsuitable frenzy of reli-
gious and political fanati-
ciSm. The whites attempt to
exterminate the Mau Mau
not as enemies but rather as
vermin. When Brian and
his men surround a Mau Mau
camp in preparation for OBJ
literating it, Brian sewers
the head of a wandering
Mau Mau general with a loop
OF piano wire-any other
method Of killing would not
be silent enough. Wounded
and women are dispatched
without quarter, and Brian
surprises himself and his
buddies by sparing at the
last moment the life of a
newborn baby-an act of hu-
mainly that eventually leads
to the murder of Katie, the
woman he loves. and Kidogo,
his closest friend.
Brian is a reformed alco-
holic whose brain is further
damaged with each infre-
ouent return to the bottle.
Events conspire against him.

The prolific Mr.. Calico
here delivers to us what he
calls "a diversion" and a very
comical bit of literary fluff
it Is.
The whole thing is based
on the fact that on August
IS, 1914, Prime Minister
Winston Churchill caused a
signal to be sent expressing
his anxiety over disquieting
rumors concerning the well
fare of the Barbary apes on
Gibraltar. 1t was his wish
that they not be allowed to
die out and when the former

and Kidogo beheaded by the
Mau Mau. Brian sees that
only proper action for him is
political assassination. He
murders the head of the Ma
tionaliSt Party in the main
street of the civilized town of
Nairobi. gives himself up and
is put in prison. What fol-
lows is remarkable. whether
truth or fiction. The whites
visit the black leader and
tell him that if Brian is
hanged he will most certainly
be shot. The threat is I'M
ambiguous and effective. Mr..
Ruark lii his preface COM
plains that while the book is
fiction, many of its incidents
actually happened after he
had written them and before
the completed book was
printed. I wonder if this is
one of them.
-
Much of the book is de-
voted to scenes of big-game
hunting - elephants, lions,
leopards. Although Brian is
fearless in the killing of men,
he has the hunters respect
for wounded animals. When
he tracks a dying leopard into
the brush to dispatch it, he
knows, his heaters know, his
safari clients know, and the
reader knows, that it is the
eliminating act of bravery in
the whole story. Wounded
game must be killed at any
price not only does sports
manShip demand it, but the
game laws require it. Per-
hapS the strife in Kenya be-
tween blacks and whites
would be stopped if all hu-
mans were put under the
jurisdiction of the game war
den and a year-round closed
season declared.
The weakest part Of Mr.
Ruark's novel is the story
that meanders along amid
the scenes of Mau Maus and
hunting in the African veldt.
The story is incredibly diff
fuse and pointlesS. Neverthe-
less, although Mr.. Ruark may
not be a skillful story-teller,
he is not a pretentious one.
and his tale has a special
aura of violent but pleasant
naivete. 1t is as though the
Rover boys had grown up, or
at least got older, and had
found women. piano wire
and hign-powered rifles to
play with.
THE PAPERS OF ALEXAN-
DER HAMILTON, Volumes
III and Nv (1782 through
May, 1881. Harold c. Sy-
rett, editor. Columbia IN
iversity Press; $3.50 each)
These volumes are a con-
tinuation of Columbia Uni
versity's undertaking of pub
fishing in chronological order
the entire writings - literary
and epiStolatory-of Alexan-
der Hamilton, together with
all existing letters written to
him. Eventually the work will
contain 1900 items.
The first two volumes were
of perhaps greater interest to
the student and historian
than to the general reader,
for they we're filled with mil
itary orders and memoranda
of only transient intrinsic
value. BY now, however. the
editors have reached years in
Hamilton's life when both
the events and Hamilton's re-
action to them make much
more enjoyable reading. Not
only are Hamilton's contri-
buttons to the Federalist in
cluded well annotated, but
also a large number of little
known letters and tracts con-
corning the problems of the
Continental Congress. In the
days of the Founding Fathers
any man in public life, if he
wrote at all, wrote we'll. Ham,
ilton was not an exception.
