Boyle had somethintc to say in his column recently about reducingr diets. Twenty-six million Americans, he t-pnortpd are overweight. That's a lot of Americans and a lot of fat. I'm one of those Americans. I can speak with authority. Boyle had to go to an "expert" ior nis iniorma. i.. u. ahmilH tinvn talked to mv wife. My wife made up my mind that I was getting too heavy I was aware, of course, that most of my clothes had shrunk, that I was finding it increasingly difficult to climb stairs without puffing; tnat i naa nine uu i rather than ride; that I had much more preference for the easy chair than the lawn mower. But an mat, i insist, was i,,t Wniwe T worked hard and was tired. But the wife raised a quizzical eyebrow when I mentioned that (quote) hard work (unquote), although she was too polite to argue the point. '. , , , Anyway, she talked to my doctor, who said he had noted that I was becoming a little bulgy. He gave her a diet llBt I made the point that I was simply barrel-cheated, and the wife agreed, but said a barrel resting on an over-inflated inner tube is a queer sight. A Rank Injustice Well, you know as well as I do what happens when you argue with a determined wife! I'm on diet. .,. And now I have a cause for complaint. I believe 26 million of us overstuffed Americans are being treated un justly. I believe there ought to be a law. I pick up the paper, and what do I see? Advertise ments for food ! Choice steaks at reduced prices. A whole array of succulent foodstuffs, displayed with all the art of the advertising layout man. And the food editor fills her page with pictures of tempting desserts, cookies, and spicy When I can no longer stand the drooling induced by perusing the newspaper, I turn on the radio and am immed iately greeted by a commercial bringing visions of New York cut steaks sizzling from the charcoal grill, smothered in mushroom sauce, and flanked by a huge baked potato, loaded with butter, topped with sour cream. After smashing the radio set, I turn for relief to tele vision, and upon the screen flashes a picture of loaves of snowy white bread', or luscious dishes of ice cream, fol lowed by a gorgeous blonde, with all the curves obvious, I mean obviously, in the right places, pouring a glass of cool, foamy beer. Finally, In desperation, I turn off the TV and pick up a magazine, whereupon I'm confronted with glorious colored advertisements of baked hams, angclfood cakes, iced dos aerts etc. and etc. I tell you there's a conspiracy against us fat folk! Tips On Travel You don't believe me? All right, you're going on vacation. Do your friends tell you about the beautiful scenery, points of interest, re creational opportunities in the areas you are to visit? They do not! They tell you about the wonderful meal at Herman's Nut Farm, or the superdelicious Italian meal at Petro's, or they tell you not to miss the "out-of-this-world" Mexican food at Cisco's. It used to be that we travelled to see and do things. Now it seems we travel only from one famed eating spot to another. But dieting has its good points I tell myself as I dine on my one-quarter fresh apple (medium), my half-cup of ugh spinach and sip at my glass of skim milk, while the cooking instructor on television tells how to make a pine apple upside-down cake with brown sugar and maple syrup. Yes, dieting has its good points. Life insurance actuaries . tell us we'll live much longer if we rid ourselves of surplus adipose tissue. But then comes the question, do we live to eat or eat to live? The Act's Smash Finish Race Issue Placed On Texas Ballot For Primary Vote AUSTIN, Tex. UP) The first big test of the opinion of Texas voters on mixing of white and Negro children in public schools and on other race questions will be held in the Democratic primary July 28. The State Democratic Executive Committee Monday voted formal ly to submit the questions in a referendum simultaneously with the primary held to nominate a candidate for governor and other state officers. The action was virtually auto matic. It was requested in peti tions signed by 153,868 Democratic voters more than the 10 per cent which would make it mandatory under the Texas election code. The referendum Questions will be printed on the ballot like this: 1. "Mixing white and Negro children in the public schools: tor (or against) specific leg islation exempting any child from compulsory attendance at inte grated schools attended by white persons ana negroes. 2. "For (or against) the use of interposition to halt illegal federal encroachment." 3.

Ali Abu Na war arrived Tuesday to discuss co ordination of mililary defense plans with Iraqi authorities. Three army officers accompanied him. INTO ANTIQUITY Industrial News-Rtview Finding the origins of words in common use can often be a fas cinating and surprising occupation. The Exchange, a magazine is sued by the New York Stock Ex change, recently gave the origins of various words connected with the world of finance. Wall Street comes from a palisade st wood built by the Dutch as a defense against Indians. Stock goes back to the Anglo-Saxon stock, meaning a tree trunk or a stick in those times wood had to be stored for the winter, often in a tree trunk. Bond is a variation on the Middle English word band, meaning a fastening. The issuer of a bond is "bound" to make repayment. Capitalist derives from the Latin caput, for head. It is linked with cattle, for in ancient times a man's wealth was numbered by the num ber of cattle he owned and cattle were counted by the head. And broker was an Old French word for one who broached a cask to draw off the liquid. Bulls and bears have a particu larly picturesque origin. Long ago islation perfecting state laws j gamblers would sell bears' skins wA Urto. Inc. -(J3ruce $ioS5at ' NEW YORK lP) Sidewalk scrawlings by a pavement riato: . Would a daily "think break" help you in your job? Harrison Gouch, a University of California phychologist, says "think breaks" should be added to the daily or twice daily coffee breaks now customary in many offices. workers should no given a Within the next month two Sen ate groups probably will look closely into the sharp rivalry among the armed services which recently came into glaring light. But it Is unlikely that anything they learn or decide will bring that competition to an end. Nor should that be (heir goal. It is inevitable that in this swift ly changing age great questions should arise as to what kind of war we should be prepared to fight, what weapons we should employ, and what roles and missions the Army, Navy and Air Force should perform in any future combat. We learned in World War II that prosecuting a war needs more unity of effort than we had then. But we also discovered, in trying to bring about that unity later, that none of the individual armed services could be prevailed upon to yield their separate identity. The evidence in the intervening decade suggests that the country is betler off because they did re tain their separate existence. Tho competition has been more bene ficial than, harmful, even though. as in 1949 and now, it has erupted the practicability of the super-carriers which the Navy emphasizes along with its atomic-powered sub marines and other craft. But from the nation's standpoint the gains from this competitive feeling have been substantial. Air Force and Army may agruc over the relative value of such anti aircraft guided missiles as the Tal os and the Nike. Yet the signifi cant thing may really be that we have two such missiles to argue about, instead of one which might in fact be inadequate. THE RECORD of warfare shows that all the services have made major mistakes in the past. The existence of competitive brains and energy in rival services helps us to counteract tnose errors With all our eggs in one big bas ket, a mistake thus compounded could prove fatal to the nation's safely. , Adolf Hitler showed us the perils in this course. He had the first operational jet plane but he ham pered its usefulness by insisting it be used for bombine rather than as a fighter, for ' which it was designed. And his personal whims- from time to time into bitter public j imposed long and costly delays on iivhiiy. cuusirucuon 01 me V-Z rnrkel AS EACH' SERVICE faced the future and tried to determine for itself what way promised the most military security for America, in escapably it fought hard for a larg er share of our defense dollar. In escapably, too, there were disap pointments when decisions went against individual service judg ments. Top Army men were bitter when Ihey felt too much stress was be ing put on air power and nuclear bombs. The Navy now and then felt its role, too, was being mini mized. The Air Force retaliated by questioning the need in an air age for large ground forces, and In The Day's News which could have been a decisive weapon had it been introcuced earner in World War II. President Eisenhower said it well when he said he'd be fright- enea n ine armed services weren t battling. But he also voiced a wise concern, which we would echo, that the argument be kept tem perate and reasonable. The general public has a right to know what the general lines of niinmng are. But it is not qual ified to decide where the balance snouia tall, ihe armed forces ex perts and their civilian superiors must decide this among themselv es. And they cannot negotiate their (linerenres sensibly if each is de termined to try his case in public m lun iting power. Americans, Russ In Radio Contact In Anrartic Area WASHINGTON Ml The Navy said Monday its antarctic winter base at Little America has estab lished radio contact with the Rus sian station 1,650 miles across the frozen continent. As a result of the contact, the Navy said, "visits from Ameri can and Russian stations by rep resentative groups have been sug. gested." It did not indicate whether ar rangements have been made for exchange visits between the two camps. The Navy said three officers will arrive at Christchurch. New Zea plans for the. next antarctic sum mer operations, and for the first airplane landing at the South Pole. Lpossibly next October One of the three is Capt. Gerald lu Kelchum of Bellingham, Wash., deputy task' force commander. The U.S. plans to build a 25-man base at the pole for earth science studies during the International Geophysical Year, which begins July 1, 1957. The Navy said it would use 10 airplanes in the antarctic in the coming operations, compared with four last year. In addition, the Air Force will use eight huge C14s to drop 500 tons of building mater ials at the pole. Navy planes will land 26 Sea bees at the pole as soon as pos sible after Oct. 15 to build the base. Later the Seabecs will be flown out and replaced with 25 scientists who will spend the next antartic winter at the lonely post. against intermarriage between white persons and Negroes. Approval in a referendum is necessary if the state Democratic convention in September decides to include demands for specific legislation in us piaiiorm. But ap proval does not bind the conven tion to any course of action, un der Texas law. The proposed referendum drew opposition Monday night at San Antonio, where the Bexar County Democratic Executive Committee condemned the state executive group for placing the race issues on the ballot. "We will exhaust every legal means to keep the referendum off before the bears themselves had been trapped, in the hope that a falling market would ortng proms. And the bulls got their name from this animal's habit of tossing things up into the air. Thus do words go back into an tiquity. And so, in a way, does the institution of the, stock exchange itself.

For one thing it might hurt rather than help office morale. A boss who told hu employes. "Now we'll all just ait still for 30 min utes and think real hard," might end up with a strike on his hands. If there is anything the average person resents, it is being forced lo think. The virtues of thought on the ordinary lob are sometimes cx aggerated. Too much thinking in an ottice could create Dcdiam. lxxik at the cow. It is a perfect factory, and delivers a perfect piwiui-i. Ann it aocsn i ininn m all- lt merely ruminates, which is much more fun than, thinking. There is another objection to the idea of having the whole office force think at once about how to improve the business. Some sneak is bound to cheat. He Is going to think, "Now, 1 wonder how 1 can get the boss's job." And he might figure out a way, too on office tune. By and large, it might be bet ter to have a "daydream break." a period during which everybody can relax and dream unintcrrup letily about anything he likes. The chances are even he'll wind up with ideas at least as good as those he'd get furrowing his brow: m uic agony ol thought.
