4 Straight Shot," Eh!
Yale Scientists Prove "HighbalV More Potent When Taken on Empty Stomach" - Few Pop ular Myths Shattered by Medical Report Re-
 leased Today.

Three Yale University scientists today published some interesting data on the age-old question of cocktail, highball. or beer?" And some of their findings shatter q few popular myths.
 The three men are pr. Howard w. Haggard. director of Yale's laboratory of applied physiology, and two assistants, Dr. Leon A. Grcenberg and Dr. Giorgio Lolli, assistant professor and instructor of applied physiology respectively. Tteir researches on "The Absorp- ton of Alcohol" are found in the current Quarterly Journal Of Studies on Alcohol, issued today from Its editorial headquarters at Yale.
 Contrary to popu;a- opinion, the Yale scientists disclose, the straight shot" of liquor taken on an empty stomach doesn't carry as much "kick" as the same amount Of liquor in cocktail or highball form. This is because on an empty stomach the diluting agent haStenS the passage of liquor into the inteStines whence the alcohol Is absorbed into the blood stream, ard the amount Of alcohol which gets into the blood determines the kick
 However, beer taken on an empty stomach has less effect than spirituous liquor containing the same amount of alcohol, 1t is stated, because of the food action of the beer. The maximum con- centration of alcohol in the blood is much less for the same, amount of alcohol taken as beer than as whiSkey or Martini cocktail.
 These findings followed recent experiments on 112 men and wo- men ranging from g to 50 years of age. None of them received alcohol more than three alter nate days in a week, and each came to the laboratory without breakfast. When required by the experiment. a uniform meal was given to all subjects. After the desired amount of alcohol had been drunk, the concentration in the blood was determined at in- tervals until none remained.
 The subjects varied in weight from 100 to 250 pounds. It was found that the rate at which al- cohol was eliminated from the system varied with body weight and the amount of alcohol taken. For small subjects, 100 to 40 pounds, the average rate of elim- ination for doses of p grams of alcohol was AZ to 5.l grams per hour: for persons of 140 to 180 pounds, 5.2 to 6.3 grams per hour: and for persons of l80 to 250 pour6s, 6.3 to "A grams per hour.
 It was found that within the weight groups age and sex had no influence on the concentration of alcohol in the blood.
 Regarding drinking on a full stomach or during meal. the tests show that complete absorp- ton takes three times as long and that tEe effect is' considerably lcss. They thus have m impor- tan. bearing on tf', seiCrtific con- ccpt.cn of Cl unktnLsss and meth ods now employed by police de-

LegisLatiDe NeWs
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, March 2l. Hearings on bingo, horse-racing, lottery and other gaming bills be- fore the judiciary committee yes- terday afternoon failed to provide the usual fireworks. The commit tee, shortly after the session, voted to report unfavorably on the horse racing pari-mutuel bill and most of Inc other measures, but decided to make further study of measures which would allow gaming wheels at beach resorts and games of chance at carnivals sponsored by volunteer firemen and similar groups.
 The pro-racing sentiment was not as noticeable as in other sessions, and there was none of the bitter argument that has marked such hearings in the past.
 Sen. Michael V. Blansfield presided yesterday as the finance committee held hearings on bills concerning the municipal audits act. Small
  been beneficial but that it's cost is high and should be borne in part by the state.
 An unfavorable report has been voted by the judiciary committee on bills sponsored by the Connec- ticut Federation uT Taxpayers As sociations, Inc, making 1t easier for cities to adopt city manager form of government.
 The bill authorizing the appoint ment of commission to negotiate for purchase by the state of the wild life paintings of Rex Brasher of Kent was in the hands of Gov ernOr Hurley today. It passed the House yesterday under suspension of the rules, having passed the Senate earlier.
 As the Senate yesterday passed the savings bank life insurance bill, Senator William J. Shea, Republi- can leader, charged Senator B.ansfieid of Waterbury of not ex- blaming the measure carefully and of giving unsatisfactory answers to questions about 1t.
 The Waterbury senator replied that Senator Shea was trying to split hairs so fine that you can't see them" and asserted that the Re- publican leader was only trying to delay or defeat the bill.
 The measure, which allows sav- ings banks to issue life insurance in policies of not more than $l,000, with no person to carry a total of over 5000, has the approval of Gov Hur.ey. It goes now to the House, where Republican tactics indicate considerable delay before action on 1t is taken.
 Senator Blansfield and Senator Edward P. Egan both voted for the bill yesterday.
 The appropriations committee, of which Senator Egan and Rep. Dan7S J. Mahaney are members. went on an inspection trip to the state training school at Mansfield.
