Racial Tension Seen Easing Despite Recent Demonstrations

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

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

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.
