Rul of Thumb A top NAACP spokesman in New York said a rule of thumb for the current racial picture Is "to treat each sit uation individually." "A lot depends on the white posture in each separate sit uation," he said. "We are will ing to discuss and negotiate as long as it is useful. Re sponsible organizations want to win objectives, not trouble. Unless the hotheads take over, we can have peace so long as there is a willingness to negotiate. "One main reason for these surges of demonstrations is that the Negoes mainly the young adults h a v e pretty much lost faith in the white power structure in these com munities to deliver on their promises. "The older adults are often willing to be a little more patient than the younger Ne groes but then they get em barrassed when the business and political leaders fail to live up to promises. "Unless we can get some negotiations in good faith, I don't know where this is go ing to end because that is the thing that produces these UPI Correspondent : There appears to be a slight if temporary easing of tension on the racial demonstration front despite flareupa at Charleston, S.C, and Savan nah, Ga. . There was no cause for op timism yet but these develop ments are encouraging: -A 24-hour truce was called in Cambridge, Md., after days of demonstration that had put the area "under limited martial law. -Despite widespread con tinuing acts of vandalism from a fringe group, major demonstrations appeared to Ga., one of the Dixie tinder boxes. -A local leader of the Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People called for a 60-day morator ium on racial demonstrations in Columbus, Ga. -Negroes apparently were playing a wait-and-see game in Jackson, Miss. -Negroes postponed tor one week a scheduled demonstra tion for better job opportuni ties and equal booking of per sons arrested in East St. Louis,' 111. The' respite coincides with formation of a group in New tin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Confer ence, one of the more mili tant of the racial organiza tions, said there definitely was no spirit of "retreat" on the part of SOLC. The NAACP, one of the dominant leaders in the racial field, recently has taken a double route on strategy. It has encouraged direct demon strations and at the same time has taken one of the strongest stands against violence. The NAACP spoke force fully against the trouble in Savannah, where its organiza tion was in competition for finance the campaigns of six leading civil rights groups. The thinking of the group was that financial security might slow down the aggres siveness of the integration groups. What does it all mean? A prominent Negro leader put it this way: "Don't read too much into what has hap pened. It is largely coinci dence that there was an eas ing off in several places at one time. But it is true that Negro groups are in a period now of re-assessing the sit uation." .... huge unruly demonstrations.' V at Bff r M.-.m .)

Ratio of Fatness In Body Found To Increase With Age Br DELOS SMITH UPI Scitnc Editor New York-IUPD-Between the ages of 30 and 70 the fat con tent of the normal woman increases by 58.3 per cent.

GET YOURS NOW AT YOUR GROCER'S LIMITEO SUPPLY MtffiffBaa I Pfi establishing a scientific base line on how much of the fe male is fat and how much is lean throughout her life span. That could sound alarming to females but they can relax. The male doesn't do nearly as well in preserving his pro portion of lean to fat as he ages. 'When both are young the female contains two and a half times more fat than the male' does. When'this normal male and this normal female reach their 70s, however, he is 30 per cent fat and she is 46 per cent. Her fat ratio has in creased by 55.3 pet cent but his has shot up by 176 per cent. At this stage the female contains only one and a half times more fat. . , Proaar Proportion By "normal," Dr. King means a woman who Is not fat in the sense of being obese a woman whose body weight is in proper proportion to her height and body build. For some ' years she has been measuring such women at Cornell University s Graduate School of Nutrition, Ithaca, N.Y. The Idea is to establish how much of the total woman is fat. Dr. Young has measured their body density, the thick ness of the skinfolds at 12 places, basal oxygen consump tion, a number of skeletal di mensions, and several other parameters. All these measurements now show that between IB and. 30 female tat is 28.69 per cent of total body weight, It increases lust a little be tween 30 and 40 but between 40 and 50 it sets up to 35.33 Der cent. After 50 it Is at 41.88 per cent and at 60 at 44.96. . "Mean body density and hence body fatness remained the same from 20 until about 40 years of age," she report ed to the New York State Journal of Medicine. "Then density decreased and thus body fatness increased by decades." Her male figures came from previous scientific studies of leanness-fatness ratios. It is well known to physiologists and physicians generally that females naturally have a high er fat-to-lean ratio than males. Skinfold Measurements Dr. King emphasized the skinfold measurements. "The total thickness ol skin folds did not increase above that of the young woman un til the fifth decade and at that point reflected accurate ly the increase In body fat ness," she reported. However, although the skinfolds continued to in crease slightly In the next two decades they by no means re flected the magnitude of tne continued increase In body fatness." This, she continued, "sug gested" that beyond the age of 50 the female's increasing fat ratio is In her central fat, far beneath her surfaces. But skinfold thicknesses in the abdominal regions were auDcrior to all of the other parameters in correlation with body density." She recom mended these measuremcnis to other scientists engaged in similar studies. Subnotions Built To Resemble Homes Toronto, Ont. - IUPD - In this eitv a house may not be a home. It may be an electric substation. The Hydro Electric Power commission of Ontario is con structing substations in build ings that resemble nearby structures as nearly as possi ble to preserve neighborhood appearance, a recent meeting of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers was told. A paper described one substation as designed to ap pear as an apartment build ing, complete with false win dows and a typical entrance lobby.
