Sometimes drugs can be found to

exposed about five million germs

The rays caused hereditary mu-

DRESSER NEEDLES
EX-B0SS; CLAIMS
YANKS BEST TEAM
By LEO H.
United Press Sports Editor

ST. PETERSBURG, March o.
U.D Charles (Chuck) Dresser,
who now delights in needing his
old boss and pal, Leo Durocher,
predicted tonight thai if the Yam
KEGS and Dodgers were in the same
league New York would finish a
good IL games ahead of Brook
lyn.
II know you think I may be in
fluenced because I've switched my
allegiance, but honestly, when you
compare the two clubs position for
position, there is no doubt In my
mind that TIE Yankees have the
better club" Dresser said.
Dresser touched off the present
New York-Brooklyn dispute, in
which Commissioner A. B. Chand-
Ter conducted hearings at Sarasota
and St Petersburg this week, when
he sw 1tched from the Dodgers to
the Yankees during the winter. Con-
sidered one of the best third base
coaches in the business and given a
big share of credit for Brooklyn's
success last year, he decided to
return to work for another old boss,
Larry MacPhail.
'Of course l haven't seen any of
the youngsters which the Dodgers
brought up this year, but I know a
lot about them and I would say we
have better looking rockies than
they have. They haven't anyone to
compare with Don Johnson, Bobby
Brown and Larry Berra," Dresser
said.
johnson is going to be one of the
Yankees starting pitchers, while
Brown will start the season at third
and Berra in right.
AS for a player by player COM
parison, Dresser figured it out this
way:
Tommy Heinrich of the Yankees
better than any first baseman the
Dodgers have event if they bring up
Jackie Robinson; Eddie Stanky at
second and Pee Wee Reese at short
rate a shade over the Yankee key
stone combination of stuffy Stirn-
weiss and Phil Rizzutto, with
Brown at third better in D%ressen's
opinion than anyone the Dodgers
have.
AS to catching, he thinks Bruce
Edwards of Brooklyn has a bril-
liant future, but right now he rates
Aaron Robinson of the Yankees
ahead of him.
Because of the doubt connected
with Pete Reisers arm, he thinks
Charlie Keller is a better left field
or and that Joe DiMaggio has a
superior edge over either of the
Dodger centerfielders, Carl Fucillo
Or Dick Whitman. In right, he be-
lieves age is going to catch up
with Dixie Walker and that Berra
will do as well.
AS for pitching: Kirby Higbe is
the best they have" he said, Il
wouldn't trade either Spud Chand-
Ter, Allie Reynolds or Floyd Bevens
Tor him. The best of the Dodger
staff just doesn't come up to what
we have with the Yankees.
so I am convinced" Dresser
concluded, that we could beat
them by at least u games if we
were in the same league"

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2s.-
R-Some people are driven to food
as others are driven to drink, says
DR.. S. Charles Freed, San Fran
cisco physician, after treating 500
patients for overweight.
The main driving force, he adds,
is psychic hungarian unsatisfied
or unsettled something in the mind
such as worry, Illustration, fear,
a feeling of insecurity or anything
else that generates and maintains
emotional tension
These psychic drives, if they do
not lead to excessive eating, may
manifest themselves IN some other
form of abnormal or irregular be-
havior, even physical ailments.
They result in overeating when
the individual has a natural ten
dency in that direction
DR.. Freed is only n of many
! physicians who in recent years
have stressed the importance Of
emotional tension in obesity. How
ever, he offered a new suggestion
that medical men other than
psychiatrists do what they a to-
ward making patients aware Of
the psychological urges behind
their r~ver-eating.
It is impracticable for all over
weight people to receive PSYCHE
atric service, DR. Freed said, but
obesity is such a menace to health
that it should be attacked with all
the means available and this in
cludes the mental factor He re-
ported his work in the journal Of
the American Medical association.
The psychic urges ri so power
full that sometimes a patient will
not stop overeating even if warned
that it may mean early death.
ISuch a person, DR.. Freed said, is
in the same fix as the alcoholic
who cannot control his appetite for
strong drink.
Some people, however, can be
helped if they can be made to
understand how their emotional
tensions are driving them to food
Of DR.. Freed's 500 patients, $40
said they either ate larger meals
or ate more frequently when
nervous or worried. Another 95
said they ate more when idle.
bored or tired. The others said
they just enjoyed food.
Among the mental factors he
listed as contributing to overeat-
ling were these:
l. The workings Of the sub
conscious on such things as frus'
tration, worry, fear Or lack Of
emotional satisfaction A person
thus afflicted sometimes reverts
to infantile behavior One OF the
most common baby tricks is the
tendency to put everything into its
mouth This is easily initiated by
the adult by continually feeding
himself
Another manifestation OF the
subconscious may lead a woman
to excessive eating as a means

Byron Nelson has announced
that the OILY golf tournament he
plans to enter in America this
year is the Masters, which dem
onstrates about a. clearly as
could be, how the best golfers in
the world esteem the annual op'
portunity to bat one an
others brains out On the serene
meadows of the Augusta Nationa.
Golf Club.
Many times in the comparative
ly brief life of this show, people
have asked what magic formula
was discovered to spare the Mas
tiers the collie and growing pain:
most new tournaments must en-
dure. Assorted reasons have Leer
put forward to explain thi:
phenomenon. The name of Bobby
Jones as head of the enterprise
was one great asset. Another il
the fact that this is the champions
championship, with competition
restricted to a select field from
which all culls have been removed
The show has had the further ad
vantage of stirring competition
and rousing deeds, like the double
eagle by Gene Sarazen which
plucked the title out of Craig
Woods paws in 1885.
But in the final analysis, the
single soundest answer to the
tournaments success is this:
The Augusta National is a plea
SAINT and beautiful place to be ii
the spring, a place where the pro:
like to play and the customers
like to watch. The Masters is one
of the Few tournaments in the lane
where the guy who picks up the
check has reason to feel he i.
welcome.
The National Open is perhap'
the only great spectacle in profes
sional sport which is run strictly
Or the amateur plan. Moving from
course to course, it is operated
each year by a new, and well-in
tentioned, and grievously inexperl
ed crew. All too often the job of po-
Icing the course is turned over tt

Ouer Eating Is Traced
To Emotional Tensions

social failure Or disappointment in
love
2. A conditioning to food. A child
brought up in a family Of big
eaters may fall into the habit Of
taking a lot Of food as a matter
of course In this same category
also are people who conduct bust
ness affairs over the table and
who are constantly exposed to rich
food and the suggestion to eat
8. An aggressiveness toward
food. A child reared in poverty
learns to eat everything In sight
because he doesn't know where his
next meal is coming from. This
trait may be carried into adult
hood even though tn individual
attains economic security.
4. Monotony, boredom. Some
people who lack diversions seek
escape in e a t ing. Housewives
trapped by routine may nibble at
food all day. travellers who have
to drive long distances may stop
for food just to break the mo-
notony.
5. Occupational temptation. Peo-
pie who work in restaurants, can
DIV shops and the like are con-
stantly under challenge to eat.
6. Nervousness, social upset or
family trouble.
7. Mental tension due to glandu-
lar upsets. The real trouble about
glands in cases Of overweight is
not the behavior Of the glands
themselves but the effect they
may have on the emotions Puber-
ty and pregnancy involve changes
in glandular activity affecting the
body but they also can precipl-
tate overeating by developing new
anxieties, fears or drives The
menopause can bring about a SIM
liar state of mind. So can pre-
menstrual nervous tension, al:
though it is only intermittent.
One of the most important
things, DR.. Freed reported, is for
the patient to find out just how
much food he needs. Some people
can be well fed on 1,500 calories
a day, only a little more than the
hunger diet Of some parts OF Eu-
rope. Others may almost starve on
that amount of food.

Displaying great form, with
the exception of a drag in his left
leg, Beau Jack started off by
clouting his opponent with a ter
rifle right to the head 35 Sec
onds after the fight began. This
sent Zavala to the floor. In the
second round, the Mexican fight
er hit the canvas three times, was
down for four counts in the third,
and hit the deck for a nine count
before going down again in the
fourth with only 10 second to go.
The only visible mark on Beau
Jack at the end of the fight was
a rather badly damaged left eye.
However, experts held that his
comeback try was somewhat mar
red by the way he moved his left
leg. They pointed out that while
the muscles of his right leg stood
out like whipcord, the left looked
as flat as a broomstick and Jack
seemed to drag it a times. Despite
these comments, Jack is confident
that he will be able to take on
