Value of Property In Los Angeles Puts Buildings Skyward Apathy Said Cause Of People Suffering From Improper Diet Chicago-Science Service)- People suffer from poor diets because they also suffer from another condition-apathy, a New York researcher report ed here. Apathy or indifference, is one of the major causes of Inadequate diets, Dr. L. A. Maynard of Cornell Univer sity, Ithaca, N.Y., said. Although sufficient food supplies are available, sur veys continue to show that a considerable number of persons fail to follow diets that meet the recommended dietary allowances. There is a widespread lack of appreciation of the im portance of a good diet and a lack of knowledge of how to select such a diet, he as serted. . An adequate diet can be obtained by selecting foods from each of the following 1 basic food groups. Milk is the first group. This ' includes cheese and ice cream. Dr. Maynard recommends that children have three to four cups of milk daily; teen-agers, four or more cups; adults, two or more, and expectant mothers, four or more cups. Meat is the second group. Two or more daily servings of beef, veal, pork, lamb, poul try, fish or eggs are recom mended. Dried beans, peas, and nuts may substitute for meats. ' The third group includes fruits and vegetables. Four or more selections should be included each day. These servings should consist of at least one dark green or deep yellow vegetable at least ev ery other day, citrus fruit or other fruits containing vita min C, and vegetables includ-.i ing potatoes. Los Angeles-flJPD-America's third largest city, which sprawls 45 miles at its wid est, is climbing skyward now. Gilbert E. Morris, general manager of the Los Angeles Building- and Safety Depart ment, explained: "Property is worth so much that the buildings must be taller. There also is a short age of land in the business district." ' Morris recalled that until a few years ago Los Angeles had a height limitation of 13 stories, encouraging the' city to spread out. But that was changed to allow skyscrapers. "Under the present rules the maximum height of a building is dependent upon the size of its base," he ex plained. "Tall buildings must be indented at their upper levels to comply with the regulations. This situation re sults in better natural light ing and ventilation at lower levels." . Most of the uplift is under way in downtown Los An geles and Wilshire Boule vard, a broad roadway that passes through nearby Bev erly Hills on its way to the Pacific Ocean. Morris envi sions the famed boulevard as a "panhandle" to the down town financial district. Among the tallest struc tures going up are two 22 story office buildings. Others reaching 13, 16 and 18 sto ries already have the ap proval of the Building and Safety Department. The last group includes bread and cereals. Dr. May nard recommends four or more daily servings from this group. The food supply of this country is so large and pro vides such rich and varied sources of the nutrients need ed that it is readily possible for everyone to have an ade quate diet from those foods available, he .concluded. . Dr. Maynard's remarks ap pear in the Journal of the American - Medical . Associa tion (May 23). One of the firms largely responsible for boosting the sky line is the Tishman Realty & Construction Co., which has headquarters in New York. Its 22-story sky scraper in the heart of the downtown area will soar 285 feet, making it the tallest structure in Los Angeles with the exception of City Hall. Total cost is estimated at 15 million dollars. The firm already has five multi-story office buildings spotted along Wilshire Boule vard as well as 13-story Wil shire Terrace, a 13-million-dollar cooperative apartment project. President Norman Tishman says another 22-story office building is on the draw ing boards as part of his one-building-a-year plan. Building Superint e n d e n t Morris views the growth as "just the beginning" and pre dicts a higher emphasis on skyscrapers. "There's not much room left to go sideways," he says. "The only way left is up." As the city's buildings go "up," Los Angeles traffic of ficials are confronted with increasing congestion prob lems and seek ways to solve them. The downtown area is skirt ed on three sides by freeways, but these multi-lane road ways already are taxed to capacity. There is no free way in the Wilshire district at present. State highway personnel say a freeway planned to run from downtown Los Angeles to Santa .Monica will ease traffic problems along Wil shire Boulevard, but they add that completion may be 10 years away. Los Angeles has no rapid transit system, and residents without automobiles must use buses or streetcars. The buses and streetcars run on city streets and are subject to the same delays as are individual motorists.

Development of Underground Rocket Claimed by Russia Wall Street Chatter New York (DPB - Bache & Co. believes the stock market should either consolidate in a narrow range here or once again successfully test the sup port level at 610-616 in the industrial average, before it will be on sufficiently strong technical ground to attack its all time high. . Another look at the key business indicators supports the contention that the mar ket is again reaching for high er ground, according to Joseph E. Granville of E. F. Hutton & Co. He finds the building cycle calling for a I960 peak and says building stocks con tinue to be favored for in creased gains.

Billy Graham Views Crosses in Kremlin- Moscow - (UPD American evangelist Billy Graham toured the Kremlin Saturday and expressed surprise at the crosses and religious pictures in the cathedral-museums in the center of the atheistic Communist government. , , "Over the heart of the Kremlin, the cross," he said. "To have this religious spirit in the heart of the Kremlin is symbolic of some " future date." Washington-(Science Serv- ice)-The Russians claim they have developed the first un derground rocket for burrow ing holes in the earth. A report circulated here by the Central Intelligence Agen cy said the rocket nose has a pulverizing device which contains liquid fuel and com pressed air. In operation, "powerful flames spout from openings in the pulverizer" to open a path for the rocket. The rocket, which can be guided, thus opens a cylinder like, tunnel as it blazes its way through the earth, the CIA report said. ; Satisfactory Results Quoting from the magazine Magyar Nemzet, published in Budapest, the CIA report said the rocket was invented by engineers of Tadzhik S.S.R. of the U.S.S.R. First experiments have yielded satisfactory results. In practice, the device is to be used for laying under ground irrigation canals and pipes, the report stated. U.S. Government experts here speculate that the rocket may be a ' further develop ment of a technique used in the U.S. for "ten years." In this technique, known as jet flame piercing, a flame fed by oxygen is used to flake off rock-a process known as spalling. Washington mining experts believe the Russian rocket is a combination of several similar "cutting heads" which would cover an area large enough to make a tunnel. Term Not Accurate One U.S. Bureau of Mines expert said the Russian term "underground rocket" is prob ably more graphic than ac curate. "The name implies the rocket gets in there and zoom! there she goes!" Actu ally, he said, the drilling proc ess probably would be slow. The Russian underground rocket probably is guided by controlling the play of flame I from the rocket head, but even so it would probably cut a "wisely patch," one expert said. He implied the Russian rocket would have to b quite spectacular to outclass the fast cable-laying machin ery now used in America. Some of this machinery not only digs a straight trench, but fills it after the cable is laid. bout O HTMPt ?c mofcr vfhicli) tifffic if) grtsently conciti$tfpl only fcmt seti pftr cit of thg) nation's mghwfjj Utility -IIBCIAfe-Qirantity Priced 12 yds. $4.00 CO..
