noise and confusion"
Prof. Chandler said he found the
picture encouraging. He said:
''We cannot postpone our birthdays,
but we can to some extent guard our
health and thereby help ourselves to
avoid the supposed faults Of old age. "
Prime of Life
Another study by Syracuse Uni
versity researchers indicates that "old
I =" begins somewhere between the
60th and 18th birthdays.
It was found that men were apt to
set an earlier date for "old age" than
women. But women and men agreed
that middle age" begins around S5.
Women generally chose the teen years
as the "prime of life" but men favored
the lower 20s.

Association" Committee of West In-

been working on it for two years.
The committee report urges fedora
ton of Barbados, British Honduras,
Jamaica, the Leeward Islands, Trini-
dad and the Winward Islands into a
single state.
It wants the federation to have full
internal self-government a status just
short Of a dominion like Canada.
On matters except defense, some
financial questions and foreign affairs,
the new state would be virtually free.
British Guiana has decided against
joining the proposed federation. +
Two other British colonies, Ber-
muda and the Bahamas, are staying
out, too, on the grounds that they are
Atlantic and not Caribbean territories.

Soviet authorities talked mili-

Georgi M. Malenkov, dynamo Of
the Politburo whose star has risen
swiftly, keynoted the anniversary ad-
dresses by declaring that the United
States is fomenting a new blood bath
of war designed to make the world
an American colony. Such a war, he
said, would dig the grave Of capital
ism.
"In the hands of imperialists," he
charged, "atomic energy is a means
for the production Of lethal weapons,
a means of intimidation, an instru.
ment of blackmail and coercion.
"But in the hands Of the Soviet
people it can be and must be a

gress on a scale never witnessed be.

velopment of the productive forces Of

Fight for State
That same theme was echoed by
Marshal Alexander M. Vasilevsl1y,
minister of Soviet armed forces, who
called on Russians to flight still
harder for the further growth of the
might of our state" That strength is
necessary, he said, because Of western
warmongers and their policies Of

Tight Rein in Germany
Meanwhile in eastern Germany,
the Russians apparently have decided
to keep a tight military rein on the
new republic despite their promises
of sovereignty to the new Communist
government. This is the view of west
ern Allied officials at a Soviet an
nouncement that Gen. VASTLY Chiu-
kov will remain in Berlin as head Of
the Russian control commission.
The control commission replaces
the old Soviet military administration

'This is the first time in history

Nacht Express, shat atomic energy

The paper implied that it was this

'This overwhelming project has

of the Soviet people is growing while
the capitalist world faces poverty and

Hardening of the Arteries

Hardening OF the Arteries
Tests at the Medical Research Insti-
tute, Michael Reese Hospital, Chicago,
have shown that older persons have
much more difficulty digesting fats
than young people.
After eating small quantities of fats,
young subjects showed their highest
fat content in the blood stream within
two or three hours. It subsidized al-
most completely in FIVE hours.
In older persons, the fat content
showed a continuous rise for nearly
II hours after eating and didn't SUBJ
side for about "a.
The report was made to the Ameri-
can Society for the Study Of arterio-
sclerosis. The study suggests a direct
connection between digestion and
fatty hardening of the arteries.
Researchers found that most older
persons usually have an oversupply
of fat molecules in their blood due to
decreasing effectiveness of their di-
geStive systems.
Health and Disposition
A survey reported to the second
annual meeting Of the Chronological
Society in Chicago indicates that cam
tankerouSness in old age may be di-
rectly proportionate to i'll health.
The findings are based on 500 re-
ports by students and young profess
sional people at Ohio State University
on personal traits of older persons
they knew well. The subjects ranged
in age from so to over 80.
Professor Albert R. Chandler OF
Ohio State told the old age specialists
there doesn't seem to be a conhrma-
ton of generally accepted notions that
old people are usually cranky and
irritable.
But when the old people were di-

Rank in Difficulties
]. Arthur Rank, headpin Of Brit
aims ailing movie industry, has dis
closed heavy financial losses and
threatens to drop making films en-
tirely.
The Yorkshire multi-miliionaire
said his group will make only six to
ten films in the six months starting
January l. And, he says, unless the
government lowers its 40 per cent
tax on movie tickets he will pull out.
Already the Rank group has sold
two of its cinema studios to the Brit
ish Broadcasting Corp. for use in tele-
vision.
In his annual statement, Rank lists
his groups net loss at $2,09O,89O for
the year ending last June 25.
Profits the previous year had been
$11,692,O49.
Ranks organization is headed by
the Odeon Theater, Ltd, which oper-
ates 556 theaters in addition to MAX
ing films.
If Rank makes good his threat to
withdraw, it would affect Hollywood.
An agreement negotiated by Eric
Johnston, head of the Motion Picture
Association of America, limits the
right to convert pound earnings on
American films shown in Britain tc
$17,OOO,OOO a year, plus an amount
equal to the dollar earnings of British
films shown in this country.

Tourist Furesg
The issue Of tourist fares for the
transatlantic trade split delegates OF
the SO leading air carriers in the IN
ternational field last week in Mexico
City.
The problem is whether air coach
fares would bring out a new class OF
American tourist or just divert pas
senger traffic from the more profitable
first class planes. It's one the Inter-
national Air Transport Association
will not decide lithly.
It's a problem that concerns more
than Just the commercial carriers too.
All governments are interested.
The plan-say $225 to London in-
stead Of the present summer rate OF
SS5O-has two Of Washington's alpha
betical agencies on opposite sides Of
the fence. ECA would like to see it
but CAB says the time is not yet ripe.
CAB Versus ECA
CAB, the Civil Aeronatics Board,
controls American carriers and its
opinion is expected to prevail. EC(&
the Economic Cooperation Admins
tration, favors the idea because lower
rates might mean more American
tourists in dollar-hungry Europe,
where ECA now bears the load.
CAB worries about financial pros
poets Of the nations airlines. Some
have had rough going since the war.
Getting necessary equipment for tour
ist service, plus the hazard Of tour
lists fares cutting first class service,
might make air coach plans too ex-
pensive for some of the lines.
The cheap fare issue also splits the
airlines. Pan American Airways has
been advocating it for a year. Trans
World Airline opposes it as financially
unsound. Most foreign lines flying the
Atlantic are against lower fares. Then
governments want them to reap every
possible Yankee dollar.

Western authorities regard Ambas-
sador Gregory Pushkin as, the real
boss of Soviet policy in Germany.
Pushkin, the man who swung Hun
gary into the Communist fold, arrived
in Berlin to take up his duties in the
Soviet sector.
Another significant move last week
was the appointment Of Soviet Mar
shall Konstantin Rokossovsky as Pol
iSh minister of defense.
The most direct line of communica-
ton between Russia and its 5000
advance troops in Germany runs
through Poland. Rokossovsky's as
sumption Of command is viewed as
insurance against any Polish Tito's
taking control and threatening that
