PLAZA, 'NEW VORKZOj 14 ur Manufacturers, Service Firms Keep Up With Growing People Elmer Waber By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York (UPI) The na tion's economy is growing -more than a half trillion dol lars in size in 1960 - and so are its people. Makers o f latex foam cores for si per-sized mat tresses re ported a six fold rise in big mat tress de mand since 1947, and wondered why. The Latex Foam Rubber Council thereupon launched a survey which showed that while in 1900 only one out' of every 25 American men meas ured six feet, today in the 20 "29 year age bracket, one of every five is six feet tall. Also it showed that more than 18 per cent of the Ameri can women between the ages of 20 and 29 are five feet, geven inches tall. At the turn of the century fewer than 4 per cent of the American women attained five feet, sev en inches. Edward Welch, chairman of the Latex Foam Rubber Council, cited a specific case of a hotel trying to cater to its taller guests. The new Denver - Hilton specified that 10 per cent of its 1,200 foam rubber mat tresses be made 60 inches by 80 inches in size. Purchases of home makers confirm this trend of the hotels. Large - sized sleeping equipment, once only avail able on custom order, can now be found in most bedding departments and in many standard brands. Welch also related an in teresting finding of his coun cil's survey. The average sleeper changes position 20 to 45 times- a night and hence needs more room for normal body shifting. Sleep experts, he says, recommend that mattresses be six inches longer than the height of the user and provide at least 36 inches of width for each sleeper. The latex council found the demand rising also for longer sofas. Where the six-foot sofa once was pretty much stand ard, today's orders are for king - size installations for hotels ; sofas 8 feet, 10 feet, and even 12 feet long. Big people need big towels. A large hotel chain is substi tuting bath towels of 26 inches by 52 inches for ones that measured 24 inches by 44 in ches. Architects report that homes also are being made larger for big people. They find new home-owners demanding high er doorways, elevated sinks, and longer bathtubs. - To accommodate the larger dimensions of students, schools, according to a recent study of the U.S. Office of Education, are having to in stall wider desks and work benches as well as loftier wash room facilities. On the collegiate level, new dormitories at Cornell, Uni versity of California and sev eral other institutions of high ped with beds seven feet long. I NOBODY - J 'By CURTIS UJTCHEIJ The international institute of clothing designers brings in another dimension in which American males are growing. It finds that the average suit now sold ranges between size 41 and size 42, against a 38 some 30 years ego. Women's dress manufac turers report a rise in extra length orders. , A department store estimates that 10 per cent of American women now fall into the 5-foot, eight-inch or taller category. In other words, production sights of manufacturing and service companies are being raised vertically to keep the comfort of a "growing" Amer ica in focus. They are adjusting their production planning and pur chasing to the change inythe national stature and to the additional fact that children already are or will be at least one inch taller on the average than their parents. One place were the length of the citizens doesn't seem to be considered important is the new trend toward auto mobile building. However, the makers of the compacts stress their roominess space for long-legged drivers and pas sengers. But a big guy still has to do a lot of winding up to get aboard a New York taxicab. And the commuting trains; while allowing fair space for length of the patrons, appar ently haven't considered their width in the seating arrangements. Equipment Taken from Oil Sales Plant Here An adding machine and typewriter were taken Wed nesday night from the Stand ard Oil Sales Plant office, 20 South Stage rd. Sheriff's dep uties reported that a glass window in the door was brok en to gain entrance to the building. Nothing else in the office was reported missing. 10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. C Friday, March 25, 1960 Carbon Dioxide Intoxication Said Increasing Los Angeles-(Science Serv-ice)-Carbon dioxide intoxica tion, often unrecognized but serious nevertheless, may be on the increase. - This is suggested by Dr. Ronald J. 05Reilly, radiolo gist at the University of Cali fornia Medical Center, Los Angeles, whose recent review of the disorder appears in Dis eases of the Chest. '( Carbon dioxide intoxication may occur when lungs; weak ened by chronic diseases, such as emphysema, are unable to get rid of carbon dioxide prop erly. Abnormally High Levels As a result the gas builds up to abnormally high, levels in the blood, an imbalance which in turn affects the con trol of breathing. Initially one may overbreathe but the end point is underbreathing. Symptoms of the disorder are drowsiness or actual coma and a blue color from lack of oxygen in the blood. A standard treatment for patients with an aparent lack of oxygen is to place them in an oxygen tent. But in patients suffering from carbon dioxide intoxication this may initiate a vicious circle. As more oxy gen comes in, breathing may be depressed and more, carbon dioxide "piles up" In a sys tem which cannot properly rid itself of the gas. Sudden death may follow. Simple Tests Carbon dioxide levels in the blood may be determined by relatively simple tests, Dr. O'Reilly points out. If there is carbon dioxide intoxication, the patient may be placed in an iron lung, which will do the breathing for him. In this manner, oxygen can be ad ministered moderately with out risk to the weakened pa tient who might otherwise stop breathing. (BY mm: isms mm AMENDMENT DISCUSSED - Sens.

(UPI Telephoto) Thailand Plans National Parks As Leases Expire Banekok-(Science Service -The Thailand Government will not renew forest leases held by foreign companies. The leases are about to ex pire, and when they do, Gen eral Prapart Charusathein, Minister of . Interior, has stated that the forests will be turned over completely to the Forest Industry Organization. a Government group that will supervise conservation and see that teak forests are work ed properly. Field Marshal Sarit Thana rat, Premier of Thailand, gave orders for the departments of Interior and Agriculture to work together in setting up four national parks. Decisions were announced after Government officials met with representatives of the Association for the Con servation of Wild Life, who urged rejection of proposals to build a hill station on Phu Khadeung Plateau. Heading the conservation group was. Dr. Boonsong Lekagul who said that vegetation on the plateau should not be sacri ficed for such innovations as an airfield and a dairy farm. He also said that private ex ploitation would ruin the for ests unless law: against tim ber thieving were strictly en forced. Dr. George Ruhle of the U.S. National Park Service is acting as technical adviser to Thai officials who will set up the parks at Thung Chalaeb in Kanburi, Thung Salaeng Luang in Petchabun, Khoa Yai in Nakorn Nayoke and Phu Khadeung in Loey.
