Christmas Dinner To Be Just Smelly Drink For
Paper-Packaging
Industry Shows
Sales Increase
NEW YORK (UPI) -The paper-packaging
industry showing
a trifling third-quarter increase
in sales over the same period a
year ago, and despite recent se
lective price increases, earnings
were down from 1962, a survey
showed today.
But the price hikes are ex
pected to have an impact in the '
fourth quarter earnings state
ments and paper and board
production by the end of the
year is expected to be about
39 million tons, at a new record
level.
The third quarter sales in this ;
industry were seven-tenths of 1
per cent ahead of the same pe-!
riod last year; in the first quar-l
ter of the year they were up
about 2 per cent, and for the!
six months period they had ris
en 1.5 per cent.
The profits of 25 leading com
panies for the third quarter
were down 9.4 per cent from the
comparable 1962 figures; they
were 6.5 per cent lower at six
months and 3 per cent at the
end of the first three months.
For the nine months, earnings!
were nearly 1 per cent below
those of the same 1962 period. '
The price hikes of recent
months, however, cover a broad
range of products. They have in-
eluded linerboard, kraft, glas-i
sine and greaseproof papers;
they have extended into con-'
verted products, corrugated
shipping containers, folding car
tons, selected sacks and wrap
pers. Working against the industry ,
showing this year, however, j
have been strikes in the north-1
western lumber operations, j
wage increases earlier this
yecar, production problems in
, many new plants, high deprecia
tion chargc-offs and some tem
porary shutdowns of paper ma

CALLS FOR MENU - In Vacaville, Calif.,
Charles Davis, inmate at the medical facility,
holds his container for supervising nurse
Martha Long to add a spoonful of chemicals
to his all-liquid diet in a NASA experiment.

VACAVILLE, Calif. (UPI) -
For 18 men at the California
Medical Facility, Christmas din
ner will be a drink of "smelly,
foul-tasting" brandy flavored
liquid.
It's all in the interests of sci
ence. The 18 men are participating
in a six-month test of a pure
liquid diet, comprised of chem
icals and water, as a study of
the diet's future in space travel.
They have been on the food
wagon since Sept. 3, drinking
four meals a day from a flask
containing 48 chemicals. They
are convicts selected from the
inmates of Vacaville Prison.
How are they doing?
"I'm constantly thinking
about food," said Jerry Lewis,
a former automobile mechanic.
"Chemically we all live well
but you'll never replace that
good old steak."
"I dream about food all the
time," said another prisoner.
"We have pictures of food for
our pinups not glamour girls."
Simple To Produce
The diet is so simple to pro
duce that Dr. Milton Winitz,
who developed it, claims it
could be put together on the
moon with only a laboratory
and the chemical elements. It

Christmas Lasts 22
Days in Mexico
MEXICO CITY (UPI) -Though
Christmas comes but
once a year it lasts 22 days in
Mexico.
Starting with the first of nine
"posarias" reenactments of the
Holy Family's journey to Beth
lehem on Dec. 16 and ending
1 with Three King's Day on Jan.
6, Christmas in Mexico is high
lighted by a huge torchlight cer
emony on Dec. 12 at the shrine
of the Virgin of Guadalupe here.

furnishes the essential amino
acids of the body.
The foundation is feeding the
diet to the inmates under a
grant of $400,000 from the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
One somewhat startling effect
already has been noticed.
"We can vary the individual's
cholesterol level on a nearly
day-by-day basis," said Dr. Neil
D. Gallagher, clinical director.
"This discovery was like a
blind man stumbling over an
acorn but it's a pretty big
acorn."
It could assume importance
in controlling the diet of heart
attack victims.
One other amazing result
came when one inmate, who
suffered from near-sightedness,
complained his vision through
his eyeglasses was blurry. The
muscles in his eye had become
more powerful and actually
improved his normal vision,
without glasses.
Dr. Gallagher had 1,400 in
mates from whom to choose.
The group he picked range in
age from 25 to 40 and include
persons of varying ethnic back
grounds, including one Negro.
One was a near genius and one
was illiterate.
The inmates willingly admit
they hoped to help themselves
by participating in the experi
ment. John Parks, one of the prison
ers, said he entered the pro
gram "to help myself and man
kind" and added: "People all
over the world are starving and
sick. Maybe this diet will help
them."
The convicts agreed the liquid
was "smelly and foul - tasting,"
and a sample furnished by a
nurse proved their statements
to be true.
An orange flavored sampla
tasted heavy, syrupy and too
sweet. It was just plain sicken
ingand the prisoners claim
that after three months they
still aren't used to it. They'va
had raspberry, peach, banana,
orange and coffee flavored.
As one prisoner put it: "Ona
swallow kills all your hunger
pangs."
