Diets, From Cooking Art Point,
Found Displeasing To Patients
By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York (U.P.) From the
standpoint of "the art of cook
ery," diets devised by many
physicians these days appeal to
their patients in the same way
that castor oil does the diets
are "punishments," no less.
That attack upon medical men
did not come from a patient on a
diet but from a medical man. It
was approved by a board of med
ical men and appeared as an
editorial in "GP," the official or
gan of the American Academy of
"Doctors have stopped think
ing about flavors because they
know how to diagnose causes for
fevers," said the anonymous
medical editorialist. They know
all about the science of nutrition
and cookery."
So they "punish" patients, and
"a 'diet' seldom connotes some
thing to support a patient in his
trial by illness. Unsually it
implies deprivation of something
the patient would like to have.
Trans-America Tells
Of Decline in Profit
San Francisco (ll.R)
Trans-America Corporation, one
of the world's largest holding
companies, reported yesterday
Its 1955 consolidated net profit
wai down nearly $7,000,000
from the 1954 level.
But Trans-America President
T. N. Belgrano Jr., told the
stockholders in the firm's an
nual report that most of Trans
America's major subsidiaries
showed continuing gains dur
ing 1955.
The 1955 profit was 533,872,
926, down nearly 57,000,000
from the 540,652,943 net profit
the company reported in 1954.
Last year's profit was 53.16 a
share on 10,711,194 shares out
standing, compared with $4.13
paid the previous year.
The major reason for the de
cline Belgrano said, was that the
1954 figure included $6,200,000
in non-recurring profit which
Trans-American got from con
solidation of certain banking interests.
There's a low calorie diet for
obesity, a limited carbo-hydrate
diet for diabetes a low salt diet
for edema."
Good Salt Substitutes
The editorialist centered on
the "low salt diet" because
"there are some pretty good salt
substitutes. Yet physicians often
neglect even to tell their patients
about these substitutes." Those
containing monopotassium glu
tamate, for example, which "has
the advantage that in addition to
proving a salty taste, seems to
enhance the natural flavor of the
food to which it has been added."
"Monosodium glutamate is
even better but of course it can't
be used "when sodium must be
stringently restricted." But. it
has much less sodium in it than
common salt "and might well be
prescribed for patients who need
ouly moderate restrictions of
sodium."
Time for Fodder
This reporter, who has a con
siderable acquaintance with
medical men, read the editorial
by telephone to a number of
them and so went from one
storm of indignation to another.
It was a "blanket indictment,"
most of them said and might
apply, to a few, but certainly not
to the M.D. speaking. On the
other hand, the reporter fre
quently has occassion to break
bread with doctors and without
wishing to take advantage of
having had them when their
guard was down, he must report
that often the prelude to lunch
is, "Well, it's time for fodder,"
and the lunch proves to be that.
Few Agree With It
A few agree with the editorial
ist., An M.D. who now devotes
himself mainly to teaching, said:
"How can a doctor think about
the art of cookery, with all the
things he's got to think about?
If you had to listen to a tenth of
what the average doctor has to
listen to from his patients, you'd
see what I mean." But he dis
agreed with the editorialist on
one point. The old fashioned
doctor knew his cookery. "Non
sense," he said. "It's not a dete
rioration. It's more of the same."

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Top of the World Found To
Be Beautiful Nothingness
By MURRAY M. MOLER
United Press Correspondent
The Arctic Ice Cap (U.P.)
What does the top of the world
look like?
In a word: Desolate.
As far as the eye can see from
a B29 weather reconnaissance
plane, flying at 9,880 to 18,280
feet, there are hundreds of
square miles of nothing.
Nothing but ice, blowing
snow, dusky-bellied clouds, with
just an occasional glimpse of
bright blue sky or dark blue
water.
The water is in the "cracks"
or "leads" formed in the Polar
ice cap, itself around 15 feet
thick, as shifting winds tug and
push at the frozen mass.
The ice cap is strikingly beau
tiful.
The eye-filling stretches of
snow-frosted ice are broken
frequently by pressure ridges,
formed by surface winds that
reach near-hurricane velocity
with known maximums up to 75
miles an hour.
The sole trace of man in this
frozen country that could be
seen during the long flight with
the 58th Weather Reconnais
sance Squadron from Eielson
Air Force Base were the huts of
Point Barrow, the truck and
tractor tracks of the DEW line
supply route and the shimmer
ing lights of the home bases of
Fairbanks and Eielson.
