GIBSON INSISTS HIS TERRITORIAL BILL BE ENACTED.
Seeking New Department to Be Headed by Mem
 Der of Cabinet

WASHINGTON March 16. - United States Senator Ernest w. Gibson, Republican of Vermont, is outspoken in his demand for enact ment of his proposal creating the Department of Territories and h. sular Possessions headed by Cabi- net member.
 Delegates from Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico have endorsed the bill introduced by the Vermont Sem ator
 } Senator Gibson today said the bill will not restrict statehood ann bitions of any territory but will provide greater recognition and more unified administration.
 GoUernment Subdiuided
 Senator Gibson further stated the government of the territories and insular possessions is divided and subdivided among bureaus, divi- sions and offices
 Senator Gibson said the Army in its bureau of Insular affairs con- trols such civil duties as are still exercised over the Philippines. Ir another office are handled affairs pertaining to the Canal Zone.
 Nary Functions
 The Navy has charge of affairs ir Samoa, Guam, Wake, Palmyra Midways, Harvis, Howland, Christ. mas and Parker Islands in the Paci- fife and the remainder of the terri tories and insular possessions are under control of divisions of the Interior Department. Alaska is in- cluded in this division.
 Unified Action
 The work of administering the civil needs and development ot nearly 100000 square miles with a population of over 100000, is per formed by an office force of 21 mer and a small field force, said Senator Gibson. The proposal would add unity and prestige and bring about a coordinated policy now lacking and would also prove of inestimable value in training employees selected from various territories, said the Senator. It would also change the custom of political appointments to a practice ground for career men, Senator Gibson added.

LONDON, March 16.-Peace in Europe is still threatened.
 Late this afternoon, the Council of the League of Ma tiOns, in secret session, agreed to President Hitler's demands for equality in the delibera- tiOns here over the Rhineland problem, but flatly rejected the other condition" that the Council must discuss his peace proposals.
 Earlier in the day we'll in- formed League circles believed that Great Britain would re- ject all d e m n q s made by Germany for participation in the discussions in face of the NaZi violation of the two ar ticles of the Versailles Treaty and renunciation of the Locar- no Pact.
 One spokesman said that while the situation was most grave it was not hopeless.
 The French delegation spokesman made the threat that France would bolt from the League of Nations rather than comply with Hitler's terms and this endangered the life of the League.

You men are opposed to diet
ing on several scores-mainly
hunger. If you prefer to keep the
waistline down by exercise, that's
your privilege, but it must be a
daily dozen.
For it takes regular exercise to
keep the belt line in check. Babe
Ruth holds the record for waist
line reduction. In a three months
period he reduced his waist from
4934 inches to 80 incheS-a mere
l1A inches!
The belt line is your weight
barometer, for calories accumu-
late first around the midsection
from lack of exercise. AS we slip
into the comfortable forties, it be-
comes all too easy to sidestep ex-
ercise, despite the fact that this
is the time when it is essential to
physical fitness.
Exercise Is most popularity
known as a muscle builder, but a
more significant fact is that ex-
ercise develops the vital organs and
keeps them in excellent functional
condition. The stomach, intes-
tines and heart itself are muscles,
and all need the help which exer-
else gives. Moreover, when the
muscular system is in good work
ing order the nervous system
works more effectively.
Muscles grow soft and lose tone
from inactivity, and that tired
feeling" may be due to lack of
proper exercise. However, before
jumping into an arduous program,
consult your doctor as to the
amount of exercise needed and the
kind best suited to you.
If you are a bit rusty on exer-
else, ease into your program grad
ually to avoid stiffness.
AS the average person gets
plenty of arm and leg motion,
the following movements concen-
trate on the abdomen and waist
line.
EXERCISE
POsitiOn-Lying on back, hands
claSped back Of neck, knees
flexed, feet flat on floor.
MOvement-Pull abdomen in
hard. Now, touch right knee to
left elbow, left knee to right
elbow. Repeat 10 times. Relax.
The goal is 20 times.
EXERCISE 2
POsition-Sit on floor, legs ex-
tended, knees straig h t, lean
slightly backward, bracing weight
on hands at sides and back.
Movement: Lift the entire body
off the floor in a straight line with
the weight resting on the palms
of hands and the heels. Return to
position and repeat six times.
