energy quickly at the right time.
To that end experiments have
been done giving a person only
one of the three ingredients at Il
meal and seeing how his efficiency
works out.
High Protein breakfast
In general it has been found
that il the worker gets a high
protein meal ut breakfast he does
better than under any other sys-
ten. This means eggs, milk and
meat rather than buckwhcat cakes
and syrup.
a worker eating 4 high protein
breakfast can go from . am. to
, pm. with hardly any feeling Of
fatigue. If he does the buckwhcat
cakes and syrup stunt he gets
tired about 10 am.
If he wants to spare his pro,ein
reserve energy, the worker can
give himself Il jOl. with 4 little
quick acting and quickly absorbed
carbohydrate. Many industrial
plants supply Woodworking and
iiiiN-tAA'ii lpbU lUlltntS. 1t Is the
secret Of the efficiency of the mid
morning visit To the soda fountain.
Supplement with Carbon dratc
In other words, start yourself
out with protein and keep it sup
| plcmented by carbohydrate dur
ing the day.
The reason the high protein
meal keeps the energy up so long
Is fairly easy to understand. Fat,
rs we said, is burned slowly so n
prcpondcrantly fat meal is n slug
gard. Carbohydrates, on the con-
trary, goes too fast. But the pro-
tcin stays in there pitching until
mid-aftcrnOon.
These researches bring medical
science close to practical life. us

Is taken. During war times nutri-
ton experts have been expert
menting to find out which meal
pattern will give the worker the
most energy.
Leaving out the minerals and
Hitamins which do not concern us
in this diScusSinn--thc three Gle
mcntary substances in dict are
the carbohydrates, the fats and
the protein.
The carbohydrates are sugars
and starchcs and you get them
mostly from vegetables, bread,
sugar and fruits. The fats are in
many vegetables, but the prin-
cIplc source is what is attached
to meat, and also butter and
cream. Protein is in some vcgc-
tablcS-pcaS and beans have 4
good dcal-but vegetable protein
Is not easily digcsted or absorbed
and our best source of protein is
meat and milk.
Use of Different Substances
What these substances do when
they get in the body is to furnish
energy and replace tissue. They
all do both of these to a certain
extent. Any overweight person
can tell you that fat is converted
into tissue, and when he starvcs
himself to reduce he burns his
own fat to produce energy. But
fat is slow burner, and is not
good encrgizcr. The question
arises as to whether protein or
carbohydrate is the fastest and
best cncrgiZcr.

Approximately two-thirds of the

Regarding the food situation, the

the evacuees good substantial food
of quality and quantity comparable
to that available to the general
public
IF regulations governing the
population are modified, correspond
ing notifications will be made in
the feeding program of the reloca-

The office declared that it is the

Relocation Authority
Head Denies Report
Jap Spies Are Freed
Meyer Says Statements
Of Dies Agent Show
Complete Ignorance

Dillon S. Meyer, director Of the
War Relocation Authority, today
denied reports Of Dies Committee
investigators that some of the Jap
anese released from the 10 reloca-
ton centers were either spies or
saboteurs. Out of the 10000 allowed
to leave the camps. ito our knowl-
edge" he said, mot one instance of
dlsloyal activity has been reported"
At the same time, the WRA, de-
clarlng there is widespread public
interest in the subject of food pro-
vlded by the Government to evacuees
in the relocation centers, explained
that the 07,000 persons remaining
in the camps are affected by all
rationing regulations and recon-
mendations applicable to the civilian
population of the United States"
The press recently has carried
statements attributed to Robert E.
Stripping, identified as chief in
vestigator of the Committee on In
American Activity, that spies and
saboteurs have been released from
relocation centers," declared Mr..
Meyer in a statement. This state
ment reveals complete ignorance
of the manner in which this agency
is conducting its program.
Stress Idea of Democracy.
"The statements attributed to Mr..
Stripping have the effect of mislead-
ing the public on an important prin-
ciple of democracy That principle
centers around the question OF
whether loyal American citizens and
law abiding aliens should be kept
in confinement for the duration OF
the war, or whether they should be
given the opportunity to contribute
to the war effort in normal manner
in our democratic society"
Mr. Meyer said no evacuee is
permitted to leave a relocation CEN
ter if there is any indication that
he would in any way endanger the
national security"
Mr.. Meyers Office said the 107 900

reply was gunflre.
Meanwhile Enterprise planes

lands August 7.
For the succeeding two weeks the
Enterprise took up defensive patrol
In these dangerous waters uater the
aircraft carrier Wasp was sunk there
by Japanese submarine action.
Within a fortnight the enemy
massed strength to retake the is
lands and the Big Els crew was con-
stantly on the alert. 1t continued
so until August "a, when contact
was made with a large enemy force.
AS at Midway, the prime objective
of the Americans was to hit the
striking force.
Heavy Attack Beaten OFF.
The Big Els morning search failed
to produce positive results. A Sec
ond group launched at l pm. pro-
duced several major contacts. The
first was with small Japanese car
rier about $50 miles to the northeast
and the second with two large jap
anese carriers 200 miles to the north
Then there were major contacts with
battleship, cruisers and destroyers
to the northward.
IAN accompanying carrier
launched an attack against a
small carrier to the northeast.
1t was hit hard and stopped
dead in the water.)
