Missing from his home since 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Tony Munos, Juneau fisherman and gas- boat owner, is believed to have been drowned about 1 o'clock this morn- ing short distance off the Cold Storage dock. Men in the vicinity report hearing cries and a splash in the darkness and police investigat- ing found Munos' small boat adrift short distance off the dock with one oar missing, but his gun and some groceries were in the skiff.

Risner, who were at the cold Stor- age wharf and hearing the noise out over the water notified police. | Officers Kay and Thompson inr1ae- l'diately responded and. getting a low boat. went to the scene. They located the Munos skiff in the dark ness but there was no trace of the owner. From evidence they could piece together 1t was believed that Munos probably was enroute from his gasboat Queen at the Lower City Float toward his home in the Willoughby avenue village district. His wife said he had left home about l o'clock yesterday and had spoken of having to tow a friends small boat somewhere on the water front What mission he might have been on when death probably over took him has not been disclosed

Charles Hayes of the Triton heard a cry and splashing in the water just as did Rystad and Risner on the dock. There seemed to be little question but that 1t was Munos who was rowing the skiff which was found with the one oar missing, officers reported.
 Due to the darkness and the fact that the tide was running out rapidly at that hour there was It, tie opportunity of locating the body. they said.

WASHINGTON, April IA = Ad- ministration leaders, long insistent on the Judiciary Reorganization bill having precedence over wage and hour legislation, reconsidered this strategy in the light of the Supreme Courts Wagner Act decision.
 Roosevelt's advisors expect soon to complete new set of recommen- dations for minimum wage and maximum hour standards. These may be sent to Congress regardless of the Court bills status and whether the proposals get to the floor ahead of the Judiciary mea- sure appeared to depend on how soon the Senate Judiciary Commit tee ends it's hearings.

One-House SC Legislature in Nebraska in Need of
 Many Changes

LINCOLN, Neb., April 14.-Opin- ion remains divided on the one- house legislature, Nebraska's new experiment in government, as 1t hears the end of its first session.
 Principal criticism of the uni cameral organization is it's non- partisan feature.
 A bitter, four weeks dispute over Gov. R. L. Cochran's gasoline tax bill brought the party issue to the fore. Critics contended the con- troversy could have been settled quickly had the Governor been able to exercise the customary party ties.
 Old Strategy
 An ancient bit of strategy was used, as it was, to settle the prob lem finally. The members gath cred around a table, in secret, to caucus and compare their difference es. From the caucus came a com- promise ball which won the neces- sary support.
 John N. Norton, former Congress man who returned from Washing ton to take his place on the new Legislature says he has no fear the issue will harm the experiment.

The overweight reduces by
drawing on stored fat, not muscle
tissue. for energy. A moderated
loss in weight is not weakening.
AS long as extra stores of fat are
available for energy, your health
is not endangered by calorie def
icit.
There are two common mistakes
in dieting which cause weakness.
A too abrupt weight loss always
produces weakness, because tear
ing down vast amounts of fatty
tissue entails psychological
strain.
You may also be weakened by
protein deficiency. In reduc-
ing diet you must include the
complete protein diet-lean meat,
eggs, milk and cheese. Other foods
such as bread, cereal and certain
vegetables contain protein in vary
ing amounts, but the complete
proteinS are essential in the diet.
Whether or not you are reduc-
ing, all body tissues constantly
undergo wear and tear. AS the
tissues are worn out, repair is
made from protein which is taken
from digeSted food or, when food
protein is lacking, formed through
the breaking down of muscular
tissue.
Unless the reducing diet is sci
entifically planned, you may fail
to get enough protein. For ex-
ample, you may try to reduce
simply by taking smaller servings
of your usual menu, which would
decrease the quantity of every
food, protein included.
The minimum amount of pro-
TEN in a diet must be 10 per cent
of your normal number of calor.
les, not 10 per cent of your re-
ducing calorie allowance.
You must also have normal
amounts of minerals and vita
minis. These foods are not de-
creased in a safe reducing diet.
The calorie cut is taken only
in sugars, starcheS and fats. You
must have some sugar and starch
in the menu, since these are the
ready energy foods. On the other
hand, fats may be reduced to the
minimum.
To be safe for indefinite use, a
reducing diet must contain the
