East Coast lashed
Death toll mounts from Atlantic storm
NEW YORK (UPI)—The biggest and roughest storm of the season lashed the East Coast and the country's interior as far west as Tennessee with near hurricane destructiveness Tuesday, bringing raging winds, snow and ice that sent the death toll mounting in seven states.
Hundreds fled their homes along the Atlantic coast ahead of flooding ocean waters driven by gale force winds.
At least 20 deaths resulted from the storm, which also snarled air and land traffic and closed bridges and schools.
Evacuate hundreds
In New Jersey, National Guard troops evacuated hundreds of Atlantic seaboard residents where the ocean swept inland over Monmouth County.
There were no reports of casualties during the evacuation. The guard used special high axle trucks to haul those rescued out over flooded highways.
A fisherman drowned and another was missing and presumed dead off Morehead City, N.C.
Traffic accidents on rain-slick streets and expressways killed two persons in Pennsylvania,
two in New York and one each in New Jersey and Rhode Island. Three died of heart attacks in Pennsylvania while clearing away snow and an elderly man froze to death in Greenville, S.C.
In Bloomburg, N.Y., a family of seven burned to death trying to heat a summer bungalow during a snowy night.
The New Jersey flooding in Monmouth County followed breakthroughs in several ocean retaining walls along the coast at Island Beach and Mantlooking, and the retaining wall at Fort Monmouth broke up. Many
German actress Marianne Hoppe will give a public reading of Goethe's "Das Marchen" at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union Forum Room, Erich Albrecht, professor of German, said yesterday.
Albrecht, who saw one of Miss Hoppe's performances in 1949, said, "I think she proves beyond a doubt German is a beautiful language that brings out poetic feelings."
Joel Adedeji, guest director from Nigeria, yesterday labeled the upcoming experimental theater production "Song of a Goat" a poetic metaphor.
"The play shows not only the calamity of transition of man who lays down his life to secure
He said Thursday's reading would be a great experience for anyone who understands German.
Miss Hoppe's performance at KU is sponsored jointly by the Goethe Institute and the department of Germanic languages and literature.

personal liberty in a traditional society, but also the new breed in society still holding to the past.' Adedeji told more than 30 students and faculty members at a speech and drama colloquium.
"Song of a Goat" is the tragic story of a fisherman and ship pilot, Zifa, who is left impotent after the birth of his first child. His wife later commits adultery, a solution the community finds completely acceptable.
Guest director explains production
Adedeji said Zifa is the goat—the scapegoat of his environ torn between past tradition and new feelings learned through his association with the river.

which packed ice, snow and gales of up to 73 miles per hour, roared across New Jersey headed for Maine where it was expected to arrive by morning.
So how will the Lawrence audience respond to "Song of a Goat"? asked one student. "Perhaps if they do not understand the symbolism, they surely will react to the spectacle," said its director.
Discussing cultural differences, Adedeji referred to a Nigerian audience attending a performance of "Macbeth" who laughed during the most tragic scene in the play.
The director said he saw a Japanese film version in 1965 which received the same response.
"Song of a Goat" runs Nov. 14-23 in the Experimental Theatre. Tickets may be purchased for 75 cents with KU ID's.
