8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Monday, Jun 29, 1959 Conferees Vole Compromise Bill' For Farm Support Washington-dTD-House-Sen-ate conferees today approved a compromise bill providing $4,686,600,000 for farm aid 'during the new fiscal year starting July 1. The conference committee also toned down a proposal , that would have put a $50,000 ceiling on price support loans that any farmer could receive in 1960. The compromise would allow farmers to re ceive more than this if they agreed to repay all over that amount or to cut their produc tion as much as 20 per cent. The compromise version al so makes the ceiling apply to efth crop separately; rather than to single farmers. Both the House and Senate had approved a firmer ceiling. The revised version also would apply only to crops in which surpluses exist. Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.), chairman of the Senate agri cultural appropriations sub committee, said this would ex empt sugar and wool from all of the limits on price support loans. The compromise now goes back to the House and Senate for final action. Other congressional news: Interest rates: The House Ways and Means committee gave tentative approval to a new plan for lifting of inter est rate ceilings on govern ment bonds. As approved, the Democratic - sponsored meas ure would give the President power to raise interest rates when he felt it to be "in the national interest." This would place responsibility for such hikes on the administration Eisenhower had asked for flat repeal of the current ceiling of 4V4 per cent on long-term bonds. dquai xune: unairman junn - C.

In our statistics and in our wardrobes, the expansion of the national waistline shows. What overweight is, why some of us gain pounds and some of us don't, what obesity means in terms of general health all these are examined in the following series of four dis patches. They are based on talks with physicians, scientists, nutri tionists and anthropologists, and on studies conducted by the American Medical Association, the American Heart Association and others. By PATRICIA McCORMACK UPI Correspondent New York (UPD The fat of the land stands accused of sitting too much and eating too much. v Overweight looms as a ma jor problem for more than 34 million Americans, men and women. Men, recent stu dies show, are twice as likely as women to become over weight. As the American Medical Association figures it, you're a "fatty" if you weigh ten to 15 per cent more than you should. Fatties eat their cake and keep it too. They stash it away in the form of stored calories - 3,500 of them to one pound of fat. The excess ,is stored under chins, around the middle, around the hips. It makes cheek-bones disappear. Huff and Puff On upper parts of the arm, Transportation Rules Tightened San Francisco-Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell today tightened the safety require ments governing the .transpor tation of Mexican farm labor ers to and from the places where they work in the Unit ed States. Mitchell said new safety re quirements covering short haul transportation of, Mexi can nationals employed under the migrant labor agreement with Mexico have been sent to all Bureau of Employment Security regional directors with instructions that they be forwarded immediately to all employers of Mexican contract workers. The new requirements, which are effective at once, are specifically directed at short-haul transportation for Mexican nations, which is now generally inadequately cover ed by state laws. Under the new require ments, employers .are also made responsible for the safe transportation of Mexican workers while they are on the job. They must assure that only competent and qualified persons drive vehicles trans porting workers; that vehicles and equipment used to trans port workers meet reasonable standards of safety; and that proper precautions are exer cised to safeguard workers while being transported to and from the places where they work.

It makes you huff and puff when you have to rush. It makes shorts, dresses and skirts too tight. Buttons pop. The view, fore and aft, is de pressing. The fat will stay just where it's stored until you eat less than you need, drawing on the stockpile for energy. When that starts happening, you'll start to lose weight. But there's more than beauty to consider. In some, cases, reports the AMA, staying plump is one way of disabling or of killing yourself - before your time. High blood pressure is found twice as frequently in fatties; hardening of the ar teries, three times as much; diabetes and arthritis are slightly more common among the plump; extra weight makes a patient a poorer surgical risk. Crippling Strokes More prevalent among the obese, too, are serious heart ills and crippling and killing strokes. Except for special emer gency situations when meth ods such as intravenous feed ing are used, there's only one portal of entry for energy into the human body. That is - the mouth. Cutting down the quantity that goes into the mouth is at the crux of the overweight problem. Sounds easy to solve, doesn't it? The trouble is that dieting depression hampers the pro gress of up to 54 per cent of those who try to take it off. Other symptoms: irritability, fatigue and nausea. The tense, anxious and in secure personalities usually have the worst luck when they try to reduce. Reason ably stable persons do the best. The hard part is this: once you reform your eating habits enough to shed the extra weight, you've got to make up your mind to stick by the new habits. If not, it won't be long 'til you're right back where you started from. (Next: Why do some get fat and others slay lean?)
