When a middle-aged man, or
woman, puts on excess weight, his
physician may discover that his
blood pressure is high and that the
punch or power behind the heart
beat has increased so that it may
soon tire or weaken the heart mus
Gle. This means then to prevent
the blood pressure increasing to
supply blood for the extra fat on
the body, he must reduce his daily
food intake.
While reducing weight by eating
less food and letting the excess fat
on the body supply some of the
daily food need, the foods usually
prescribed are bulky foods such as
cabbage, caulif1ower, lettuce and
other leafy vegetables. These are
good foods because they are rich
in minerals and vitamins, giving
the individual a full" feeling. but
the food value is so low that the
overweight feels weak and discour-

EIkhart Labor
United To Meet
Dutch Unionists

Elkhart, Ind. OPA)-When the
Dutch trade unionists now visiting
this country under ECA guidance
reach this industrial city of nearly
$4,000 they can be sure of a rous-
ing welcome.
Organized labor is polishing up
the keys to the city, and giving the
welcome mat brushing. CIO and
AFL unions have joined with the
independent M h n i s t s, Mine
Workers and Rail Brotherhoods in
Elkhart Labor United to see that
the Dutchmen have the time of

ANA TACTICS BACKFIRE

Baltimore (LPA)-The publicity
firm of Whitaker & Baxter may
have to start giving the American
Medical Association some new ad-
vice. The ANA, in a new effort to
kill President Truman's national
health insurance bill, is offering to
send spokesmen to union meetings.
Recently, the AFL Central Labor
Union here heard DR.. j. NJ. r. Fin
ney denounce the health bill. But
the doctor, a justly noted surgeon,
made one mistake-he allowed
questions. Later on, figuratively a
bit battered and bruised, he left
the hall with, as one observer put
it his tail between his legs. If this
line of questioning was any indi-
cation, Baltimore AFL members
like the national health plan wheth-
er the ANA does or not.

Pennsylvania Vote
Good Omen For
Sen. Myers In so

Philadelphia (LPA)-The crush
ing defeat handed the corrupt
Philadelphia Republican machine
in the election of four Democrats
to row Offices, and the over
whelming margin (57,C00) by
which Democrat Mayor David l..
Lawrence of Pittsburgh was re-
elected should spell victory for
Senator Francis Myers when he
runs for reelection in 1850. For
whoever carries the two big cities
of Pennsylvania decisively, can
carry the state. Organized labor
had major share in the results
in both cities.
Richardson Dilworth, el c t d
Philadelphia's city treasurer by
10000 votes, lost in 1947 in his
race for mayor by $4,000. Dilworth
and the three candidates for con-
troller, coroner, and register of
wills, won decisively despite 2 to
registration advantage for the
COP, upsetting one Of the last of
the big city machines which has
been in power for half century.
Lawrence, a member of the ma
tional Democratic Committee, and
former state chairman, ran far
ahead of his showing four years
ago, when he won by 14,000 votes.

Production Main Key To Nofion's
Future British Unionisfs Suy

economy.
Green also said his union, in par
tnership with management, haC
established an advanced technical
college in London where AZ select
ed students are enrolled every six
months. This institution was SCI
up in line with a national educa-
tion program proposed in 1914
There are also such union-manage-
ment engineering schools in the
matchmaking and foundry indus
tries, and Green said they should
have fruitful effects on all-around
industrial efficiency and progress.
Asked to estimate the success of
Britain's national health program,
which has been under heavy fire in
the US from doctors and the Re
publican party, both Green and
Jones said emphatically it was
yielding great benefits to the Bri-
tish people. Jones pointed out that
in the old days, doctors performed
certain free services at hospitals
but on an unorganized basis. He
said that under the highly organ
lied national health plan now in
effect providing free services for
everybody, both diagnosis and
treatment are better. According to
Green, the only serious difficulty
has been a shortage of such things
as eyeglasses. The fact that people
are now being charged a shilling
for drugstore prescriptions which
were formerly free will not impair
the plan, but will cut down abuses.
On the knotty question of wages,
which the government has asked
the unions to hold at present levels
for the time being, Jones and
Green agreed the unions undoubt
edly would try to do just that. But
they made it clear that British
labor has no intention of aband-
oning it's traditional right to bar
gain. Negotiating wages is "the
prerogative of unions," Jones an
bluntly. Your reporter
couldn't help feeling that there was
wrong with Britain that
B Ri ii S h determination wouldn't
cure.

Stassen Calls
For Rebuilding
Republican Party

Washington UPA) - Harold
Stassen, former candidate for the
Republican presidential nomina-
tion, told the National Press club
here the day after the off-year
elections that the Republican party
must be thoroughly rebuilt.
He said that would involve bury
ing the intra-party differences to
back strong bipartisan foreign
policy and oppose the gravy train
approach" of the Truman admin
istration on domestic issues. Asked
if that was not what Dulles had
done in New York, without success,
Stassen agreed but said it would
take time for his formula to work.
He noted, also, that Gov. Lehman,
the Democratic candidate, had
backed away from two of the key
measures in the Truman program
national health insurance and
the Brannan farm program.
Asked if the Dulles defeat elm
mated Dewey as a candidate in
1852, Stassen replied that no one
election ever eliminates anyone
"but sometimes there is a marked
trend in that direction" This drew
a laugh from the audience.
Stassen disclosed that he would
campaign for the reelection of
Senator Robert A. Taft in Ohio
next year.

Pilots Union Hits
Government Role
In AirpIane Crash

Washington (LPA) = Witnesses
at hearings on the air crash in
which 55 persons were recently
killed at Washington's National
Airport have been submitted to a
barrage of questions, some of the
toughest from Air Line Pilots
Ass'n-AFL.
ALPA, a union which spends
much time campaigning for air
safety, wants to know whether
tower controllers and the Civil
Aeronautics Administration accept
responsibility for instructions to
pilots.
Glenn Tigner and Robert b.
Union, airport tower operators on
duty when the crash occurred, told
about landing instructions they had
given the P-38 whose midair col
lision with an Eastern Airlines
passe enger plane caused the
tragedy.
"All this testimony about instruc-
tions from control towers is great
ly at variance from the position
formerly taken by the CAA that
it acts only in an advisory capa-
city," ALPA Washington Repre-
sentative Larry Gates told news
men. "We also intend to find out
why the P-38 was told to make a
left turn behind the DC-4 when
the civil air regulations specify
that an overtaking airplane shall
pass on the right"
(In Chicago, union president
David L. Behncke attacked the
CAA for "skirt-clearing" attempts
to avoid blame for the collision
and "the usual witch-hunting for
a scapegoat."
("Press statements eulogizing
safety records and absolving air
lines and federal regulatory offic-
ials is not the answer" said
Behncke. "The air travelling pub
lie cares nothing about slanted sta
tistics. Their real interest is the
greatest possible degree of air
safety, which the men in the air
line cockpits-the men actively at
the controls of our country's air
liners-say is impossible under the
present politically involved and ex-
traneously influenced non-inde-
pendent air safety regulatory con-
trol.")
ALPA has been seeking legisla-
ton by Congress to reestablish an
Independent Air Safety Board.

New York City (ILNS).-A de-
tailed review of the U. S. Supreme

gion, slavery or peonage, censor
ship, contempt of court, right of
assembly, education, voting, aliens,
fair trials, searches and seizures,
abor relations, right to travel, jury
and Negro rights. A sec
ion of reference cases, in which
he Supreme Court has ruled un-
'avorably or favorably on civil lib
,rties matters, is also included.
Copies of the pamphlet can be
'btained for 25c postpaid by writ
ng to ACLU, ITO Fifth Avenue,
