They're fretting over which one will be cleclcd the screen's Tar zan the 19th. And I mean literally up a tree. At least they were the other day when the 11 hopefuls reported to the world jungle compound at 1,000 Oaks to pose for photos and movie tests. Another fellow who's fretting is Sy Weintraub. He's the new pro ducer of the longest-running movie series. He has to decide which fel low wins the loin cloth. Before he took off for Europe to see three foreign possibilities, 1 sat wiLh him while he watched the screen tests.

C Italians Heavy Drinkers, But Alcoholism Rate Low By DEI.OS SMITH L'PI Science Kditor NEW YORK tl'Pl' Here an the main reasons why Italian? are among the world's heaviest consumers of alcohol but at the same lime have one of the lowest rates for alcoholism in the world. Thev drink wine and they drink it lor health, in their opinion, and rarely for stimulation. -To them wine-ilrinking is taken for grant ed it causes no comment and needs no defense. And they eat when they drink. This is from the linal report oi a years-long comparative siuay of the drinking and eating of 247 representative Italians and 2ol representative descendants of furtively, stooped to pick up piece of evidence and then uttered the famed Tarzan bellow. Fortun ately, the tests were . silent. Weintraub cited three or four who will be in the final running. These were in his qualifications for the 19th Tarzan: "He's got to have the graceful movement of a Joe DiMaggio and the build of a Charles Atlas, but he doesn't need to have the acting ability of a Laurence Olivier. He must be well-built but not muscle bound: we want a man w ho is lithe and looks as though he lived in a jungle." It's a pretty tall order, and Weintraub must make his decision soon. His crews will be taking-off for Africa to film the first of the new series. "We're making it hard for our selves and calling it Tarzan's Greatest Adventure," he reported How are we going to top that? I don't know. Maybe we'll do "Son of Tarzan's Greatest Adventure.' Weintraub, a young, enthusias tic man, is hepped up about the future of the Tarzan epics. He cited figures of a half-billion dol lars in returns from the films, which date back to the early si- lents. "In recent years, there has been only about one film every 14 months," he said. "We plan to make two a year. It's better to keep a continuous publicity cam paign going than to build one every time you put out a picture "Besides, there is a surefire au dience. Every Tarzan plays 15.000 theater dates That's more than for "Bridge on the River Kwai Among the previous Tarzans there have been many who. have revolted at their contracts, which limited them to the jungle Here's a note for the jungle-type babes: No need to apply for the role of Tarzan's mate. Weintraub savs there will be no Jane in the new picture. "Tarzan was getting too subur ban," he explained. Rules Slated For Road Ads WASHINGTON (API-Secretary of Commerce Weeks Wednesday an nounced final federal standards for regulating billboard advertis ing along the national highway network. ( States which agree to abide by the minimum regulations will re ceive a bonus ol a halt ol 1 per cent of the cost of the new roads. The federal government already pays 90 per cent. The standards, based on a con troversial provision of the 1958 highway law, do not forbid all outdoor advertising. Billboards can be erected within 12 miles of restaurants, motels, filling sta tions and other businesses which they advertise. Signs will be less than standard size, however, and their numbers will be limited. Some of the 41,000-mile system is exempt from regulation. The standards generally will not apply to roads running through incor porated municipalities, commer cial and industrial areas and along old routes. Weeks said there mill ho nn hillhnarrl rmntrrA alnno at least 25 per cent of 4he new ! highways. At no point would more than two. billboards be. permitted in any one-miie sireicn. ----.v J I zg I TATTLE-TALE EASTBOURNE. England (UPH The city medical officer said today the only case of food poi soning here last year involved a party of health officials. They "indulged in oysters found to be of doubtful origin, he said. Italian emigrants to the United States. Many Americans drink whisky and beer in the main rather than wine and they drink not for health but to be "sociable" and for kicks. They separate drinking and eating, and they find it necessary !o defend even moderate drinking. In these and other particulars they conform to the common American "pattern." The detailed, scientific study was under the auspices of the Yale (University) Center of Alco holic Studies. The chief American investigator was Dr. Giorgio Lol li, former medical director of the Yale Plan (Alcoholic) Clinic in New Haven. Conn., now in pri vate practice in New York. His Italian opposite number was Dr. Emidio Serianni. director of the Instituto di Alimentazionc Di etologia of Rome. The purpose of the study was slated succinctly by Mark Keller, editor of the complete report pub lished today by Yale: "mat drinking must precede alcoholism is obvious." he said, "equally ob vious but not always sufficiently considered is the fact that drink ing is not necessarily followed by alcoholism. The latter is impres sive by a fact in Italy but in the U.S. it has a high rate of ox ceptions. The Americans of Italian des cent were both taller and fatter than the Italians; they had had more education and had a higher standard of living. They were "heavy caters by and large while the Italians were "moder ate caters" and also monotonous eaters. The Americans were "ir regular, sporadic" caters. The report found that the "drinking behavior" of Italians "provides a variety of protections against some dangerous effects of alcoholic beverage." But when Italians become Americans these protections are . lost. The study traced increasing degrees of loss in first, second, and third gener ation ltalo-Amcricans. It gave emphasis to the psycho logical side of American drink ing. In Italy, this side is minor, since wine is a food, like any food. But in America, ."the cus tom of using alcoholic beverages separately from other food items notably at the cocktail hour is linked with a search for the psy chological effects of alcohol. And this cannot fail to lavor those conditions which are con ducive-to-intoxtcation and the ex cessive use of alcohol."
