British Hondurans Looking to Arrival of Peace Corps Volunteers
Belize, British Honduras -(I'Pli-
British Hondurans, from
the man on the street or in
the field to government offi
cials, are looking ahead hope
fully to the arrival of Peace
Corps volunteers in September.
Congressmen Get
Cholesterol News
From NSF Doctor
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
United Press International
Washington -OJPD- The con
gressmen said frankly they'd
like a little free medical ad
vice. So Dr. Philip Handler oblig
ed them with a few simple
rules which distilled out to:
"Don't get fat."
Handler is chairman of the
department of biochemistry
and nutrition at Duke univer
sity. On behalf of the Nation
al Science foundation, lie had
been lecturing a house appro
priations subcommittee on
matters biological.
The Living Cell
He spoke at length on the
living cell, what it U made of,
how it uses energy, what it
manufactures. He discussed
genetics, the nature of genes,
molecular diseases, the nerv
ous system, cancer and nu
trition. As Dr. Handler was wind
ing up his discource, Rep.
Charles R. Jonas, (R-N.C),
looked around at his fellow
committee members and said:
"Before this expert In the
field leaves us, I think we
ought tot get a little free ad
vice from him about blood
cholesterol . , . that becomes
of increasing Interest as we
grow older."
Rep. Joe L. Evins, (D-Tenn),
assented. He said "wc are
very practical minded men
here."
Trua Notions
Handler came through
handsomely. H e remarked
that "there are some simple
notions (about diet) which
have some abiding truth in
them." He cautioned, how
ever, that there also "is a lot
of nonsense in this area."
"The simple notions to
which I think one can ad
here." he said, "arc: first,
obese people do not live as
long as the nonobese. In the
laboratory, the thin rats bury
the fat rats.
"Secondly, all nlhpr things
being equal, a diet which is
relatively low In fat seems
to result In significant reduc
tion in the level of the var
ious fatty materials, Including
cholesterol, which are in the
circulation.
Find Fats
"It is true that heart at
tacks occur in individuals
who have high levels of fats
In their blood, and we find
these fats on the walls of
great vessels of persons who
have had heart attacks.
"But it is also true that
some people have myocardial
infarcts, heart attacks, who
do not have high blood levels
of these fats, and the simple
causal relationship one would
hope to be able to establish
has never been established.
"However, since each of us
Is known to live only once,
in our own self-interest what
we should do. I think, is live
a reasonable existence in
terms of not permitting one
self to become needlessly
ohese, and eating a diet in
which the fat is not too prom
inent." "This is all you ran do,"
Dr. Handler said. "Beyond
that, absurd measures which
absolutely exclude fat from
the diet have never been
demonstrated to he effective
In any group "
Kennedy Ponders
Western Junkel
Wa.-hiiiKlnn ilTh- President
. Kennedy is considering a nnn
pnlitiral tour in the West in
August. Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger said Wednes
day. Salinger declined to discus-,
specific speaking da'es but in
d i c a t c d that Kennedy's
schedule will be completed
soon.
Ttie subject came up when
Salinger was asked at a brief
ing whether the chief execu
tive will aliend a ground
breaking ceremony for the
Sau Luis Dam and Reservoir
in western Merced cnimtv.
Calif.
Ralph M. Brndy, of Fresno,
chairman of the committee
planning the ceremonies, said
Tuesday that the president's
participation was confirmed
In a telegram from Interior
Secretary Stewart I'dnll.
All Salinger would say al
this point was. "If he iKen
nedy) goes, he will consider
making a trip to Los Banos."
where the San Luis project is
located
President Kennedy is ex.
pected to leave on the trip
about Aug 18.
A final survey of the needs
of the country and of facili
ties for volunteers just has
been completed by William
Wister of Philadelphia, liter
national Relations officer for
the Central American and
Caribbean unit of the Peace
Corps. He said the Peace
Corps is coming at the direct
invitation of the government.
Enormous Ratio
Forty volunteers are being
requested, an enormous ratio
in a country of only 90,000 In
habitants. For this reason
Peace Corps leaders antici
pate making a great impact.
Wister commented they will
begin in British Honduras
with three major advantages
. . . a common language, Eng
lish; friendly, welcoming peo
ple: and an absence of the
anti-American, pro-Left influ
ence so frequently found in
this part of the world. He said
this could be a "show-case"
project for the Peace Corps.
Volunteers will be placed
in each of the six districts of
the country. II. is expected the
group will consist of at least
six agriculturists to teach and
do field work and research,
two statisticians, and the bal
ance primary and secondary
teachers.
To Live With People
In keeping with Corps pol
icy, the volunteers will be ac
companied as much as possi
ble by British Hondurans of
equivalent status. They will
live and work with the peo
ple. Since everything indi
cates an enthusiastic recep
tion for the volunteers rather
than hostility, their major
problem may be fighting the
traditional inertia of the na
tives.
Volunteers for this project
now are In training at the
University of Maryland. They
should arrive in Belize for a
two-week orientation course
early in September before be
ing sent to their posts.
Although plans now call for
a 21-m o n t h stay for volun
teers, they could be replaced
at the end of that time. Wister
said that the Peace Corps con
sidcrs Itself a permanent
agency of government and
plans to keep volunteers here
until the job Is done.
The economic and political
climate of tiny British Hon
duras is marked today by
greater cooperation between
government and business
than at any time in the coun
try's history. Common danger
shared and common challeng
es faced are leading to a bet
ter understanding of each oth
er's problems and a new
willingness to work together
for the ultimate development
of the country.
First Minister Ceorge Price
returned from London re
cently with firm commit
ments for cash to rehabilitate
the hurricane-battered coun
try. Most of this will go for
normal reconstruction in Bel
ize and the villages. Housing
loans and farm loans will be
possible. Government has al
located funds to allow 100
per cent free grants to pri
mary schools to replace build
ings and equipment lost in
the storm and secondary
schools will be eligible for
funds which are half loan,
half grant.
Assistance Pledged
Futhermore, United King
dom has pledged the initial
financial assistance for con
struction of a new capital for
British Honduras. A project
discussed since the disastrous
hurricane of 1931, it became
a "must" after the 1861 storm.
Belize has outgrown its lo
cation. Crammed on I small
peninsula backed by swamp,
it has nowhere to expand.
Public water and sewage dis
posal are unfeasible in the
Dead-Sea-level city.
A location well inland has
been selected for the new cap
ital. It is 50 miles north of
Belize, about 22 miles south
of the western town of El
Cayo, and is at the junction
of the Hummingbird highway
which winds through moun
tainous jungle to the port city
of Stann Creek in the heart
of the citrus country to the
south.
Plans for the new capital,
now being detailed, must be
submitted to U. K. for approv
al before work can start, but
government plans to move
ahead with the project as
quickly as is physically pos
sible.

UAR in Second Decade of Nasser Era; Israel Remains No. 1 Enemy
Cairo (I'PII - Israel rpmnin rprpmnnipc Ppaant in Ihoir It firf.H fm,r incln.cla0 tho crtnlh nf T oKsnnn lTnito.4 A r,h rjAn,il,lin n,-l,A.4 i i . . . ....... ... ew
Cairo H'Pli - Israel remains
the United Arab Republic's
No. 1 enemy as this nation
enters the second decade ol
President Gamal Abdel Nas
ser's revolution.
Nasser, then an army lieu
tenant colonel, led a dozen
other young officers in a re
volt against the corrupt civil
government of King Farouk
10 years ago, sending the con
fused and luxury-sated king
into European exile.
Egyptians are celebrating
the anniversary with a week
of parades, fireworks, and
ceremonies. Peasants in their
long striped galablyahs and
headdresses have been crowd
ing Nasser's capital for many
days.
But the high point of the
celebration came two days
before the anniversary date
on an Egyptian missile tost
site 50 miles from Cairo, a
20th Century establishment
less than an hour's drive from
the Pyramids.
There the United Arab Re
public entered the space age.
in the presence of Nasser and
the foreign press.
It fired four single-stage
I rockets and Nasser announc
i ed that they were now "in
large scale production-other-I
wise we couldn't have spared
; the four for testing."
It was clear from his other
remarks how closely Egypt's
unfinished war with Israel is
linked with the rockets and
other military developments.
"The only military signifi
cance is the range they reach,"
Nasser told newsmen. Asked
their exact range, he said: "A
little south of Beirut" - a ref
erence to Israel, which lies to
the south of Lebanon.
The rockets have a range
of from 235 to 372 miles. Tel
Aviv, is 250 airline miles
from Cairo.
They All Agree
Although Nasser carries on
quarrels with some of his
Arab neighbors, their enmity
toward Israel is one thing all
agree on. With the French Al
gerian war at an end, observ
ers believe new efforts will be
made to concentrate attention
on the Israel issue.
These other developments
were in the forefront as the
United Arab Republic marked
10 years under Nasser:

of a socialist state. More than

-The change in approach to
Arab unity. From dreams of
one United Arab state, the
emphasis now seems to be
aiming for eventual but grad
ual federation.
Syria's withdrawal last Sep
tember from the three and a
half year old union under
Nasser has had serious reper
cussions around the Middle
East. But it has not been the
political disaster to Nasser's
prestige that some observers
predictrd.

had planned for it, but the

Price of White
Bread Increased
By 55 Per Cent
Washington-OIPD-The price
of white bread at the retail
counter has risen more than
55 pe rcent since 1947-49, but
the cost of the farm ingredi-
ents has dropped 12 per cent.
according to the Agriculture
Department's Economic Re
search Service.
During the same period
there was a 18 per cent rise
in the consumer price index
for all good items purchased
for home consumption. In
1961, white bread sold at an
all-time high of 20.9 cents for
a one-pound loaf. This was an
increase of 7.4 cents over
1947-49.
Higher Margins
ERS said all of the increase
was due to higher marketings
margins at the various levels
of production.
The farm value of the in
gredients which go to make
up bread averaged 2.9 cents
on a one-pound loaf In 1961,
compared with a 3.3 - cent
value in 1947-49. ERS said
the drop was due principally
to lower farm prices for
wheat, lard, sugar, and milk.
Milling adds another one
cent per loaf. From 1947-49
to 1955, the margin for mill,
ing remained stable at 0 6
cent per loaf. Since 1955 the
margin has risen 67 per cent.
Share Almost Double
The wholesale baker's share
in 1961 of the total price was
11.7 cents per loaf, almost
double the 6 cents share in
1947-49. ERS said increased
labor costs to wholesale bak
ers, particulary for bread dis
tribution, accounted for a ma
jor portion of this sharp rise
in the wholesaler's margin.
The total labor cost, including
wages, commissions, salaries
and fringe benefits was 6
cents per loaf in 1961, com
pared with 2.2 cents per loaf
in 1945. Other expenses, in
cluding advertising, packag
ing, delivery, and profits,
amounted to 5.7 cents per loaf
in 1961, compared with 2.2
cents in 1945.
The retail margin In 1961
was 3.8 cents, or 18 per cent
of the total price of the bread.
In 1947-49, the retail margin
was 2.4 cents per loaf.
The remaining 1.5 cents
spent for bread in 1961 went
for storing, insuring, trans
porting, and handling. This
was only slightly more than
the cost of these services in
1947-49.
