Jane RusseII's Curves to Boost Birth Rate?

Hollywood, May 3 (UP) - Movie fans who stand in line for hours to see Jane Russell's generous curves learned today that their real interest (subconScious) was in boosting the birth rate.
 Miss Russell, is a box-off1ce draw, said Biological Expert Dr. Henry Victor Nier, because she symbolizes "the well-endowed, fecund woman who will make the survival of the human race possible in an atomic age"
 It's all between mother nature, Miss Russell and the subconscious Dr. Nier said. After war the world has to be repopulated, and ladies with buxom curves are the most de- Sirable = subconsciously because they look like they can do the job.
 "Now other women will stop fool ish dieting and other practices which make child bearing a haz- ard" he predicted.
 Miss Russell, the wife of profess sional football star Bob Waterfleld, has no children.
