D|ETIC|AN NEED
 IN AMERICA SEEN
Average Menu Shows Poor Se-
 lection Is Belief

Baltimore, Md. Dec. 17 (UP)--
 Dr. George Walker, Baltimore phy- sician, believes the state should step forward with few rules on what one may eat.
 He believes Uncle Sam should as-
 sume, in addition to his other duties. those of dietician.
 But seeing only remote prospects, for that possibility. he has urged
 that a state office be created for g. food expert who would select Mary lands dinner menus and be dictator of kitchens in the states institu- tions.
 After an extensive survey of Mary land dinner tables-a labor which took several years of his time and
 no small amount of his money-Dr.
 Walker Is convinced that Baltimor- cans and all Marylanders in general are inclined to eat not wisely but
 too well. They satisfy their ap- petites, but little else. Hence the Iltfu lUI i Sldlt ulptlC13n.
 The average menu in home, res taurant or boarding house does not have a wise selection of foods which provide body building chemicals. disease-resisting vitamins and other esoteric values which are indispens- able to good health, the physician said. His data came from a young Baltimore woman he employed to visit among the city's families and learn what was the income Of each, what percentage Of it was spent on food and what that percentage bought in the way of calories, car bohyrates ct cetera.
 Among the poorer classes, the dinner table survey revealed that 46 per cent of fathers wages went to the grocery man.
 Eating may have been an art as long ago as the days of Julius Caesar Dr. Walker said But the time has arrived when 1t Is possible to make a science of 1t as well. And uifC lS d part OL pIeEcliti\e Illtul- cine. An old proverb said that it took nine tailors 10 make a man. but 8 much larger clement in his is contributed by beneficial chemical combinations in his food.'
 The average person who goes into a restaurant for plate of beans actually doesn't know what he is eating. pr. Walker added. As 10 whether he is consuming carbohy- drates or proteins-not to mention calciums. Iron salts and other things he Is entirely in the dark, and cares little, just so they are good beans.
 "At present." the physician said ''the daily food of those who live in state institutions Is selected by those who have no scientific training fit ting them for the work. The result is hit or-miss method of feeding"
