Decline Of Brain Cell.
Seen as Major Effect
OF Aging Process
By Thomas R. Henry
Science Editor of The Stur

Less blood and oxygen reaches
the brain as one passes middle age,
DR.. Joseph F. Fazekas of the Gal
linger Hospital staff reported yes
terday to the closing session here
of the American Chronological
Society. a group of scientists con-
cerned with the problems of old
age.
Even when the blood supply is
increased, the brain cells are un-
able to use the extra oxygen which
becomes available to them, he said.
This. he said. is due apparently
to some defect in the cells them
selves. This may be, it was said,
one of the major effects of the
aging process, the nature of which
still is not understood.
Some present procedures, he
said, probably should be re-evalu-
ated since they tend to deprive the
brain of its already reduced oxy-
gen supply. This may. he stressed,
cause a serious damage in brain
function and lead to shocks-a
top cause of death among the
aged.
Liver and liver extracts may yet
prove the key to healthy old age.
it was reported by DR.. Julius
Pomeranze of New York Medical
College. Even more essential, he
declared, is the maintenance OF
normal liver functions which can
be assisted by a new preparation,
methischol. designed to reduce
abnormal fat deposits in the liver.
The drug is a combination Of sew
eral previously known amino acids
and the new vitamin Biz. most
potent of all the B-complex vita
Minis. II also is essential. he said.
to provide diets high in proteins.
He described experiments by him
self and his colleagues on seven
elderly patients. in all of whom
marked improvement was OBJ
tained.
Narrowing Of Arteries.
Inadequate liver function. he
pointed out, may lead to narrow
ing of the arteries. which can
cause heart disease in both old
and young.
One of the most important
threats to older people in this
country is diabetes. said DR..
Cletus L. Krag of the United
States Public Health Service.
Present reliable estimates. he re-
ported. are that there are now
2 million diabetes in the United
States and an additional 2 mil
lion may develop the disease.
In older people, the situation
seems to be more serious, he said.
With present methods of treat
ment it is found that persons
who develop the disease before As
have considerably better oppor-
tunity of living out their normal
life span. The disease frequently
strikes in middle life and the
prospects favor an increase be-
cause of the growing proportion of
the population in this age group.

Ewing Tells Agencies
Old Age Care Ranks
Among Top Problem,

Federal Security Administrator
Oscar r. Ewing declared today
that caring for the aged has be-
come zone of the greatest social
and economic problems Of our
time"
He outlined the problem as he
welcomed 130 delegates to the first
Nationwide conference of Federal
agencies and State Commissions
on Aging. They met at the Fed
eral Security Building for their
three-day conference.
MIR. Ewing said the Federal
Government can and will do some
things to help solve problems Of
the aged.
But the real job" he said,
must be done by the states and
communities-by individuals and
groups helping their own neigh
bors: these older citizens who to-
day are struggling to maintain
their status in a society which, in
large measure, is still blind to
their tragic condition.
"The great majority of these
older people are living unhappy,
lonely. frustrated lives on in
comes pathetically inadequate for
their basic needs"

Following too closely was des-
cribed today by Safety Director
H. N. Kirkman as a dangerous
violation that caused STA aeci-
dents last year.
He said that it was second only
to failure to grant right-of-way
as the worst cause of accidents
and warned motorists to stay a
reasonable distance behind other
motor vehicles while driving in
traffic.
Altogether, there were 2,245

CAMPY STILL ARGUING WITH
"DIET HAPPY" DRESSER

MIAMI - (CNS) - Chubby
Roy Campanella is at odds with
his manager on the diet business
which Dresser has assigned him
for losing weight. The diet - a
Mayo Clinic one - calls for eggs
eggs and once in fourteen days
plenty of steak. That's the part
that really inks Cam 2y who's one
of the teams most voracious
steak eaters. He says he remem-
bers too many old days when he
couldn'. afford steak so that now
that he can, he never gets enough
of it.
So far, Campy has parted with
IL pounds via the diet but this
is still not enough for Dresser,
whom Campy is calling "diet-hap-
py." Roy's flubbing of the third
strike of Jethroe, which caused
two unearned runs to come, is
being put on his weight. Campy
explains it this way: Weight had
nothing to do with it, it tricked
me. I tried to catch the bali
wrong - with my glove facing
down instead of up. I didn't alibi
about the pitch, so right away
they say I'm not in shape"
According to Campy if he loses
too much weight, he's weak and
Intellectual. That is what hap
pened to him last year. He was
2O3 pounds on Opening Day but
he didn't start hitting until he
got his weight back up to 210.
"They worry more about my
weight than anything" he
mumbled. ''They ought to worry
about my leg. shouldn't even be
playing on it right now, but if I
don't they'll tell me I'm sitting
around and getting fat. Heck,
man, the seasons month away.
I'll be ready"

IRWIN NOT HITTING YET
Phoenix, Ariz. One reason
for the Giants poor exhibition
hitting is the average so far OF
the teams star batter - Monte
Irwin. Monte has been one-for- Is
with an average of OFT. The one
hit was a home run off the Cleve-
land Indians pitcher Lou Brissie.
Top brass isn't worried about
Monies not hitting for it's an old
Spring habit with him. He did the
same thing last year when he
couldn't buy hit in the first
few games. Explains Monte: at
takes me a little while to get my
timing and to start to swing free
ly. But once my weight is down
and I've had a couple of weeks
at looking at pitches, I'm okay.

Eisenhower Is Trying
To Please Everybody,
Mitchell Declares
Samuel S. Kaufman.
BY the Associated Press

Stephen A. Mitchell, Demo-
cratic National Committee chair
man, said last night Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, the Republican
presidential nominee. is trying
to be all things to all people,"
1.-THE result has been that he
had reflected with dramatic clar-
ity the confusion and conflict
within the Republican Party" :"
Mr.. Mitchell said in a statement.
Gen. Eisenhower apparently
attempted this week to say some
thing to please all his advisers.
Mr.. Mitchell added.
One of Gen. Eisenhower's state
ments, Mr.. Mitchell said, was in
tended "to please his pre-conven-
ton supporters by a perfunctory
slap at McCarthyism." Mr.. Mitch
ell added:
But Gen. Eisenhower hastened
to placate Senator Mccarthy and
the Republicans who had opposed
the Eisenhower nomination by
saying he would support Senator
Mccarthy if he were nominated.
Press accounts indicate that
after Gen. Eisenhower had de-
Tended Gen. Marshall against Sen
ator McCarthy's attacks on the
man who was responsible for Gen.
Eisenhower's successful military
career. Gen. Eisenhower felt a
little reluctant at stating that he
would support Senator Mccarthy.
But apparently his advisers had
told him what to say and he went
on and got the job over with like
the good soldier that he is.
Thus he managed to reflect
both sides of every conflict which
splits the Republican Party. May
be he has pleased his rival ad-
visers, but I do not believe the
confused spectacle that was the
result has been very pleasing to
the voters Of America"

DeaIers.Wanf Autos
To Sell, Rather Than
Higher Ceiling Prices

Washington area automobile
dealers are more interested in
getting new cars to sell than in
refiguring their ceiling prices to
get more money for the cars.
Some dealers have had no new
cars in their salesrooms because
the factory shutdowns caused
by the steel strike. Now new cars
are coming through again.
A survey disclosed that the car
supply situation was much more
important to dealers than a new
Office OF Price Sterilization regu-
latlon which went into effect
yesterday.
The OPS is abandoning the
dollar-and-cents ceilings on new
cars. Dealers are to be per-
mitted to figure their own ceiling
prices. The OPS estimated this
might mean price boosts of about
per cent.
Awaits New Cars.
Leon Cherner, Ford dealer. said
he would do what other dealers
did in the price situation. But
Of more immediate concern was
the prospect of new cars about
the first of September.
A spokesman for Chevrolet
dealers said he saw no urice
change In prospect at this time.
One Chevrolet dealer said he
received four cars Friday after
having no new ones since July 8.
Sees 1t Up to Dealers.
c. w. Margetts, zone manager
for the Hudson Sales Corp, said
It is up to the dealer whether he
reflgures prices. He added that
he did not know any dealer who
has indicated he intends to do so.
Robert Tarshes, general man
ager at Beale Motors, Dodge and
Plymouth dealer, said his COM
pany would hold the line on
prices. He said there would be
no change until new models come
out.
One Kaiser Frazer dealer.
Mitchell Herson of Mitchells Mo-
tors, Inc, said there had been
too many price changes and he
was going to leave prices as they
are and not confuse the statesmen.
Most Dealers Wait to See.
Some dealers thought refguring
prices would be a good thing, but
most indicated they wanted to see
what other dealers were going
to do.
Under the new regulations
dealers will have to post their
ceilings. The dealer will take
the factory price, add his mark
up and give a breakdown of spe-
cial charges. such as the charge
of preparing cars for delivery.
The calculations will be based
on one of two base periods:
Cd The month before the Korean
war, or (2) January 26-February
"a. 1851, the month after prices
were frozen.
