cience Gains Knowledge About Least Understood of Vitamins
By DELOS SMITH
United Prest Science Editor
New York V Science has
acquired a bit more knowledge
about one of the least under
s'lcd if the known vitamini.
The unborn baby has such "a i over for herself.
seeming avidity for vitamin
B12 that by the time he is born i
he has much more of it than his
mother has yet the mother j
seems to have quite enough left j
This clearly indicates that vi
tamin B12 plays a stellar role in
the marvelous biological com
plex of mother unborn child,
but what role. That is the new.

'big. exciting, and most difficult
I question.
Now comes the yet-to-be-nail-:
ed-down indication of B12's high
! involvement in reproduction.
This indication began with tests
of 528 healthy adults to get an
idea of how much B12 normally
is in circulation in the blood.
Scientists Make Study
From these figures, four scien
tists got a line on how much
women have when they are be
tween 15 and 50 years old and
are not pregnant. This was the
base for "paired'' mother-infant
studies in two hospitals, one in
Norristown, Pa., the other in
Houston, Tex.
At the time of deliveries,
blood samples were taken from
the mothers and also from
their babies by way of the um
bilical cord. Consistently in both
places, baby B12 was higher
than maternal B12, in some cases
100 per cent higher. In a few it
was five and six times higher.
The scientists were Drs. Wil
liam P. Bogcr, Gilbert M. Bayne,
and George D. Beck of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, and
Prof. Lemuel D. Wright of Cor
nell university. Their report was
published in the New England
Journal of Medicine.
In previous studies of B12 con
tent of adult blood serum, they
had established a maximum
quantity and found that any
thing above that amount was un
usual. Yet 28 of 96 infants had
at the time of their birth B12
levels higher than that ''critical
value."
"Some of the values noted
were of the same order of mag
nitude as those 'eliminated' from
our analyses of "normal" adult
subjects because of inability to
explain such values," they re
ported. "It was in these very' cases
that the differential between
mother and infant serum con
centrations of vitamin was most
marked. It almost seems that the
infant had an avidity for vita
min B12 but not to the obvious
detriment of the mother."
"The uniformity of these ob
servations in favor of the infant,
89 of 96 pairs (92 per cent) begs
explanation," they said, adding
that they had further studies in
progress. They analyzed blood
samples from Texas as well as
from Pennsylvania to be sure
tha't what they found in one
place, also obtained in a far dis
tant place.
A geographical difference did
appear Texas mothers and ba
bies generally had higher B12
levels than Pennsylvania moth
ers and babies. So did a sam
pling of non-pregnant Texas
women. This, too, is unexplained.
Animal Teaser Given
Sentence in 'Cage'
Syracuse, N. Y. ffl A teen
ager arrested for annoying ani
mals at the local zoo was given
a chance to see how it feels in a
"cage."
Thomas Joslin. 17. was sen
tenced by Police Court Judge
Leo Dorsey to spend the night in
jail and pay a S50 fine.
Larger Paymenls Are
Available for Losses
Salem Former armed forces
personnel who received govern
ment reimbursement for loss of
personal property in connection
with their military service, may
in certain instances now receive
a larger payment provided they
apply by July 7, the Oregon de
partment of veterans' affairs has
reported.
The state-veterans' department
said the military personnel
claims act of 1945, which origi
nally limited payment to S2.500
for loss, destruction or damage
to servicemen's personal proper
ty, has been amended to raise
the limit of such claims to S6.500.
This means that any person
who filed a claim under the orig
inal act and whose reimburse
ment was limited to 52,500 by
reason of that act, may now file
an additional claim for the dif
ference, up to $6,500.
The deadline for filing under
the amendment is July 7. Appli
cation is filed by writing a letter
to the military department con
cerned. In the eVent the serviceman
has died, his survivor may ap
ply. Survivors entitled, in order,
are the spouse, children, parents,
brothers and sisters.

Stewart V. My mother is! of them. However, we live in a
a terrible snob. j very mixed neighborhood. Some
Mrs. H. V. He wants to ' of the children attending Su&v-
spite me.
Stewart V. I am 17 and
I I'm having a lot of trouble with
i my mother. She is a terrible
snob. When I bring home a girl
friend, Mother looks her up and
down as if the girl was in a
shop window. Later she asks
me all about the girl's family,
what her father does for a liv
ing, what kind of home they
have, etc.
Most of the time Mother de
cides the girls I go out with
'aren't good enough." These
girls I go to school with. Plenty
of fellows would be glad to go
out with them.
Mother thinks I'm such a
prize that I should go out with
only "the best." She doesn't
realize that there are lots of
girls who don't agree with her.
Some of them won't go on a date
with me, no matter how hard I
try. Just the same, I think the
ones I have gone out with are
pretty neat. I have no com
plaints. Mrs. H. V. Stewart seems to
be going out of his way to
spite me in the matter of girls.
I am not such; a terrible snob
as he thinks. I always lean over
backward to be nice to every
body, no matter what I think

art s scnooi come from com
fortable homes like ours. Others
are very poor. I have all the
sympathy in the world for them,
but these girls are not very at
tractive in their manner &
dress. Stewart just doesn't seem
to see the difference between
these and the nicer girls that I
point out to him.
Through my friends, I have
arranged wonderful dates for
Stewart. I also give him plenty
of money for these dates. Half .
the time he tries to get out of
it. and the other half he comes
home saying, "terrible."
m
The Council: If Stewart is
going out of his way to spite
his mother in the matter of
girls, she can outwit hirr by
not telling her opinions at all.
Once Stewart is a free agent in
the matter, and is not forced
into spiteful behavior by a fool
ishly domineering mother, there
is a 50-50 chance he'll find girls
that meet some of Mrs. H. V.'s
requirements.
Left to his instincts. Stewart
is very likely to develop high
er and better standards than hii
mother's. He'll probably look:
for girls with some physical at
tractiveness, health and plea
sant personality. These qualities
will stand up much better under
the stress of life than attractive
manner or dress.
Mrs. H. V. should not lean son
far backward to be nice to peo
ple. It is hard to see them from
that position. Sympathy tends
to blur the vision too. An un
emotional, straightforward look
(not up and down and no tears,
please) will result in a clearer
view of Stewart's friends.
Bribing Stewart to go out on
"wonderful dates" is bad taste,
bad morality and won't work.
Simple introductions to the chil
dren of friends is another story.
But Stewart will have to carry
the ball from there.

Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
Hollywood IP Hollywood
has more than its share of color
ful, lightheaded residents, but it
also boasts one
of the world's
greatest com
posers, one
who e elebrat
ed his 75th
b i rthday this
week. He is
Igor Stravink
sky. The fore-
Aline rfosfiy most living
creator of modern music is the
elder statesman of many great
names of art, literature and mu
sic who have formed a colony
in the land of the motion pic
ture. Authors Gerald Heard,
Christopher Isherwood, Aldous
Huxley and John Van Druten,
composer George Antheil, violin
ist Joseph Szigeti and cellist
Igor Piatagorsky also make their
homes in Southern California.
Few film celebrities . realize
Stravinsky lives but a stone's
throw from their habitats. He
and his wife, Vera, dwell in a
modest home in the hills above
the Sunset "Strip" a nightclub
and restaurant row where sport
cars roar and actors engage in
late-hour fisticuffs.
Stravinsky, a small, delicate
man, travels six months of the
year to conduct his works, frow
his rarely heard '"First Sympho
ny"' -to his famous "F i r ebird
Suite," in European cities. Last
Monday Los Angeles was honor
ed with hosting the world pre
miere pf his ballet "Agron" and
the American premiere of his
"Canticum Sacrum" at a mem
orial concert at UCLA.
President Eisenhower sent
telegram congratulating the com-o
poser on his 75th birthday Tues
day. Artist's Plans Revealed
While other men think of re
tiring at 75, Stravinsky already
is planning to conduct in Japan.
The composer still works as
much as 15 hours a day in his
dark, crowded study.
Stravinsky does not write
music for movies but other ser
ious creators work for the film
indutry. Isherwood wrote
"Diane" at MGM. Antheil has
written music for many movies,
including "The Pride and the
Passion."
All of these notable men live
quietly, perhaps one reason why
they are virtually unnoticed in
the whirl of show business.
