EAT ENOUGH BREAKFAST?

If you want to avoid "md-morning sumps." you might take the advice of Prof Hazel Hauck given in an address on Recent Discoveries in Nutrition"
 Prof Hauck advocates good breakfast, that in- cludes protein food She cites studies which show that the performance of persons who breakfast drink just cup of coffee is not equal to those who put away milk, cereal, eggs, ham and the like.
 The subjects studied tested for endurance and, in every case, the lady says performance better for those who had eaten good breakfast She added also that of the subjects who ate substantial break lasts gained weight
 A wise never tries to convince foolish man. he lets the foolish think that he has been convinced .. Citizens of Nome cannot buy everything at home unless local merchants have everything to sell

Forty townsmen dug In frenzied

abandoned well.
Ronald Mysinger, is months
old, fell from the porch Of his
suburban home here. late yester-
day afternoon. He rolled under
the house, built on low posts, and
tumbled feet-first into the well.
His mother, hearing his cries,
called for help. Almost the entire
population Of this town Of 1900
turned out.
DR.. M. A. Kenney lay prone for
212 hours feeding oxygen into the
well while men worked in. relays
with pick and shovel, digging q
parallel shaft outside the house.
Ronald cried himself into ex-
hausted sleep an hour and q half
after his fall IL feet down into the
20-foot well. When his cries
ceased, fear was felt by the work.
men, but DR.. Kenney, looking
down with a flashlight, said he
appeared all right.
He was. The diggers, finishing
their task by scooping out the
earth by hand as they cut in un-
der the child, found him lodged
on a bucket in the dry shaft.
The parents. Mr.. and Mrs. v. NJ.

Georgia, said he would not favor
changing existing law for the
civilian control Of the military
establishment for any person
except Gen. Marshall in the pres
ent circumstances. A similar view
was expressed by Senator Spark
man, Democrat, of Alabama, who
said:
II still think we ought to keep
in mind that the head of the
Defense Department in normal
times should be a civilian but
these are not normal times and
Marshall's selection is a very
happy choice"

Texas Quods Pose
Confusing Question
On Joininq Army
BY the Assoeiated Press

HOUSTON, Tex. Sept. 49,
The Perricone quadruplets pretty
soon may be confusing some Army
company clerk.
They passed their draft physical
and are going to ask that they
serve together.
But not in the infantry. They
hope it's any branch but the walk
ing one.
Anthony, Bernard, Carl and
Donald, 20-the Nations only
male quadruplets - came from
Beaumont yesterday for their
physical.
They'll go from the induction
center here to Fort Sill, Okla, in
80 to so days.
And what about that poor COM
pany clerk?
Well, suppose he's making up
the K. P. list. He hits the wrong

be made until this legislation is
approved by both the Senate and
the House. The nomination, when
1t is submitted, will be considered
by the Senate Armed Services
Committee.
There was no immediate COM
ment from Senators Knowland
and Cain on their vote against
the legislation. However, Senator
KnoWland had said before the
meeting that he believed the COM
mittee should not be rushed" into
approving legislation which de-
parts from the traditional practice
in this country of having a civilian
at the head Of the military estab-
lishment.
Mccarthy Criticizes Marshall.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican
of Wisconsin, said in a statement
that Gen. Marshall shouldn't be
confirmed unless and until he con-
vinces the Senate "that he has
learned the facts of life about
Communism since his disastrous
mission to China"
In urging the legislation, Mr..
Truman emphasized the present
critical circumstances in the world
and the need for Secretary of
Defense with Gen. Marshall'S
qualifications.
The text Of Mr.. Truman's letter:
MY dear Mr.. Chairman:
Attached is a draft of legisla-
tion which would permit Gen.
George c. Marshall to serve as
Secretary of Defense. I request
that you lay this matter before
your committee with view to
obtaining early and favorable ac-
ton by the Congress.
"I am a firm believer in the
general principle that our defense
establishment should be headed
by a civilian. However. in view of
the present critical circumstances
and of Gen. Marshall's unusual
qualifications I believe that the
national interest will be served
best by making an exception in
this case"
Thorough Study Planned.
Senator Tydings said the COM
mittee would look into the whole
matter including any alternative
suggestion that may be offered.
Congressional leaders looked
for prompt action by both houses
on the proposed legislation. with
perhaps a slight furry of opposi-
ton from administration foes.
Then the Senate must confirm
the nomination of Gen. Marshall
to the new job, but that is re-
garded as no more than a for
mality.
Secretary Johnson's imminent
departure had been rumored since |

II threw the fusee UP against
the mans windshield on the en-
gineer's side.
"As got away from him on ac-
count of the suction, I looked back
to see where the conductor and
brakeman were.
"I saw the stop and proceed
signal at that time.
"The first man on 81 I saw was
the brakeman. He got on and
said to me we evidently hit some
thing up there
"'You sure did fellow said.
You hit troop train UP there"
Going back, I met an Army offi-
Ger who asked for white light.
He went in and began handing
down the injured. Some GIs
standing around and I helped"
What is your estimate Of No.

asked.
"It passed me going so miles an
hour" the brakeman replied.

against those who have aroused
his wrath.
Described by President Truman
as one Of the great commanders
of history, Gen. Marshall was
born In Uniontown, Pa, Deem
ber 81, 1880. He is a defendant
Of the Rev. William Marshall, an
uncle of the great Chief Justice
John Marshall.
He was graduated from Virginia
Military Institute In 1901 and en-
tered the Regular Army in Feb
ruary. 1902. In the years since
then he has justified in every
way the view Of fellow officers
that he carried a star in his
pocket" That was the Army way
Of saying he was destined for high
command.
And that Is the way 1t proved
to be-that, and the high sense
Of duty which has led him to
undertake the difficult task Of di-
recting this country's new defense
effort.
