Man GROWING Taller

CT Joes and James, exploring the cathe-
drals and museums of Europe after World
War II, were mystified by the diminutive
size of the statues and suits of armor
which they saw displayed. The men and
the women of five or six centuries ago,
they decided, were pigmies compared with
themselves. And their judgment was cor
rect. The human race gradually is growing
taller. DR. Harry L. Shapiro of the Anthro-
pology Department of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History in New York, says:
I'VE are experiencing a transformation
into gigantism with averages of six feet
six inches or seven feet in the next several
hundred years"
But the professional students of such
phenomena are as puzzled as the lay public.
Nobody really knows why the stature of
man almost everywhere is increasing. DR..
Shapiro does not believe that improvement
in nutrition is the explanation. Some of
the least well-nourished people extant-
the natives of the upper Nile Valley, for
instance-"stand we'll over six feet and
some are seven-footers." Neither does mil
itary experience seem to have anything
much to do with stimulated growth. Train
ing Army and Navy recruits to straighten
their spines and hold up their heads may
appear to make them taller, but the fact
is that improvement in posture really does
not add to the height of a person.
Recent anthropometrical researches
probably have raised more questions than
they have answered. Among the riddles
not yet read is that of the meaning of the
familiar words in Genesis, via: There
were giants in the earth in those days"
How tall actually were the individuals re-
ferred to? DR.. Shapiro declares of the
Goliaths of antiquity: These men were
larger, not so much in stature, but in
! massiveness." Perhaps the Philistine mon

To the EDITOR of The Star:
l wish to correct few false impressions that
are given In the review of William Vogt's recent
book Road to Survival" published In The
Star August 20 under the title: People Are a
Growing Problem. by Robert N. Cool"
In his review Mr.. Cool says: Latin America
Is expected to register the greatest percentage
population gain. Their possible ill-effects will
be mitigated because the region is not now
overcrowded"
1 should like to apply to Mr.. Vogts own
Road to Survival" what he himself says of
another book: Its pages should be read
by every one who mistakenly believes that
Africa and Latin America can absorb the
worlds surplus humanity"
logical combination of two statements In
Mr.. Cool's article leads to a false conclusion.
When his statement that Russia is capable of
holding more people" is combined with his true
statement that "overcrowding and depleted re-
sources Is one cause of aggressive war" the
conclusion Is possible that war with Russia is
unlikely
This is farthest from Mr.. Vogt's mind. He
says: THE major threat in Ashland this Is
q factor that appears to have been given little
public discussions mounting population pres
sure in the Soviet Union {. !. The people Of the
Soviet Union, according to the credible testi-
smony of scores Of informed people, do not want
war; Now is the time for them to begin control
Of one of the most powerful causes of war
overpopulation"
1t seems to me that the two major contri-
buttons Of Mr.. Vogts Road to Survival are
the theses that: Cd All previous civilizations
have died by overpopulation and starvation
caused by misuse of the land, and CD that
there are no longer any undeveloped asricul-
tural lands in the world from which to feed
overpopulated countries. This means that over
crowded countries should reduce their popula-
tions to levels Of selfsubsistence. So far only
Ireland and France have shown any tendency
to do this. They are evidently the. only In
teIligent and truly civilized countries.
