Come to think of it, I have seen
Joe DiMaggio when he wasn't con-
genial at all. Run across him some
evening in Toots Shor's after he
has gone hitless for the second

fielders. Even his steak and po-
tatoes try to get on the far side
Of the plate from him.

The ultimate aim Of President
Truman's plan is to increase the
influence and effectiveness of some
of those u NJ agencies which thus
far have received too scant atten-
ton, though doing fine preliminary
work, for they constitute the ma
chinery for this world cooperation
endeavor. They include FAC for
developing new sources of food and
opening up ways to distribute it;
the international Bank for lending
money to develop new production
and new jobs; the International
Labor Office to improve conditions
of labor; the United Nations Edu-
cational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization, UNESCO, whose aim
is to help people everywhere to
understand each other better, and
so on.
For us, we can supply the tech
nical genius and know-how. While
ECA is helping now, that is at
best only temporary. Cooperative
effort through the U. N. and its
agencies is the answer, in the end.
President Truman's project is

with people of our democratic
spirit and not if it relies upon the
sort of special interests, the
monopolists, cartelists, international
flnanciers, with whom some of our
business and financial leaders and
some of our military officials have
begun again to show q dangerous
sort of sympathy.

One thing the Western Allies have
lacked in Asia is any kind of organ

been strongly criticized-and rightly
so-for failure to take the positive

Your Health
Sleep Definitely Affects
Gain and Loss of Weight
By jones w. Barton, M. D.

For many years physicians have
been telling their overweight pa
tients that getting rid Of their
excess fat is a simple matter. All
that is necessary is that they eat
less food, as they can't get fat on
food they do not eat. However,
1t was not until the physician
took time to explain to them
that although they did not per-
haps eat as much food as many of
normal weight, they had an eco
nomical body (Which not only
supplied them with the amount
OF energy needed. but had enough
food left over to be stored away as
fat) that they began to under
stand that they were different"
from those of normal weight.
There was something about their
makeup, or perhaps something
about their daily habits that
caused excess fat to accumulate
in and on the body.
IN regard to food it has been
definitely shown that if the nor
ma individual eats 800 calories
lesC daily. than he has been eat
lbs, at the end of three to six
months there should be a loss of
at least 5 to 10 pounds.
Similarly with exercise. An
overweight who is willing to do
an hour or more of hard physical

work daily. particularly II he
wears heavy clothing or sweaters,
and does not increase his food in
take (the exercise gives him an
appetite) will lose 10 to 20 pounds
by the end of three to six months.
However. while eating less food
and taking more exercise is the
ideal" method of reducing weight

or gaining weight that is often

keeping us alive, but. and this is
the big point. they are working
at a SLOW" rate so that the repair
or rebuilding processes Of the
body during sleep can rebuild It's
sues faster than the body proc.
esses can tear them down.
What, then has sleep to do with
weight?
When you are sound asleep. you
are using the very smallest
amount Of energy and so are
tearing down the smallest amount
of body tissue. At the same time
the rebuilding processes Of your
body. because there is SO little
tearing down or destruction Of cell
tissues, are able to build up worn
tissues and build or store new
tissue (mostly fa0 in the body.
If the overweight. then. takes
one hour less sleep he does two
things. First. he is not lying at
rest. so there is less chance Of fat
being stored, even If he is just
sitting down. Second, as he is
likely when up and about to be
doing light tasks. his body actual
ly tears or wears out two or three
times as much tissue as when he
is asleep. AS sleep puts weight
on the already overweight, it pre-
vents loss of weight In the under
weight; more time for building,
less time for tearing down.

Soviet Railroad Acts
To Curb Unnecessary
Freight Shipments
by me Assoeicted Press

MOSCOW. May 6-The Soviet
railway system has started a drive
against irrational shipments"
I'm our country" said Pravda,
freight Is transported on the ay-
erage for about $50 miles In order
to get from the area of production
to the area of consumption.
THE transporting of freight
over such O long distance naturally
causes considerable expenditure Of
funds and time.
THAT is why rationalizing Of
transport communications is q
serious source Of economy and ac-
cumulations in the national econ
omy."
In the three years Of the post
war five-year plan the average
distance of shipments on railways
has considerably declined.
Pravda said 1t is approaching
the prewar level" which LIS very
good. considering the great dam
age by the Germans to the rail-
roads Of Russia.
"An analysis of shipments
shows that under the present dis
tribution of productive forces"
said the newspaper, there are
large opportunities for relieving
the railroads of irrational ship
ments without any capital invest
ments. but exclusively by improv-
ing quality of the planning of the
transport and marketing of prod
ucts.
Nevertheless. these opportuni-
ties are far from being exploited
owing to the negligent attitude
of the freight dispatchers towards
the planning of shipments and
due to the absence of the neces-
sary discipline of the railroads
themselves.
Many marketing organizations
OF the ministries" said Pravda
frequently issue orders for the
delivery Of products without tax
ing any interest in the distance
and direction which the freight
will travel.
Irrational shipments are also
caused by unplanned loadings.
1T is known that the govern
ment approves plans of shipments
which specify the routes which
freight should travel.
Schemes of normal routes have
been established for the majority
of the mass types Of freight. But
nevertheless in many railway di-
visions they frequently permit, In
the races for high indices of per-
formance. the loading not of what
was specified by the plan, but of
what happens to be on hand.
These unplanned shipments
are as q rule irrational"
