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.
Best prospect to turn .the
transportation tide is a high
speed monorail sys(tem.J The
plan now is under study by

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.
