At 26, Fresno Professor Says, You're Over the Hill, Bill FRESNO, Cal. (UP)—A Fresno state college associate professor of psychology claimed yesterday you are over the hill if you are 26 years old. That is the year Dr. M. Bruce Fisher says old age begins to set in. That is when people start losing their strength. From then on, he said, they just get weaker. Based on Study Fisher based his statements on a study he made in collaboration with Dr. James F. Birren of the United States public health service. What they did was to measure the hand strength of 552 industrial work ers, ail of the men getting a lot of exercise.

He said other measurements of ability, including mental agility, also are on the down grade.

Mr. Adamic does not believe in the Central European and Balkan confederation suggested a month ago by Dr. Kurt von Schuschnigg. When the former Austrian chancellor was in Eu gene, he said he felt the small nations of Central and Southern Europe would have to band to gether if they were to survive. Mr. Adamic feels that such a union would be impossible unless Russia and the United States should prove they could get along together. Otherwise, he says, it would be a mere buffer state, which would benefit no party. Measles wiped out one-fourth of Fiji’s population in 1875.
