camps to disarln and care for
troops while transporting them
to the Thai border. Thailand
agreed to permit them to travel
to Bangkok for shipment by
sea to FormoSa. Formosa
agreed to bring them to her
packed shores. And the United
States made an unofiicial
agreement to aid in any way
possible, presumably financ-
ing much, If not all. Of the
program.
Thus, this source Of tension
SO close to the Communists
seemed on its way to being
eliminated. Until this week.
Now two new developments
threaten this program:
First, the report that some
Communist troops have crossed
the Yunnan border into
northern Burma.
Second. and more serious,
Gen. Ii Mi, now in Formosa
and reputed top commander Of
the organized Chinese units
in Burma, has suddenly de-
veloped an acute case Of coy
ness over his power to con.
troll these soldiers.
Wire service dispatches from
Taipei and Bangkok report
that Ii Mi has told Chang it
would be impossible" for him
to persuade the men to lay
down their arms and go to
Formosa peacefully. A Chinese
guerilla commander in Burma,
violating a plea from Formosa
not to issue press statements,
said late this week a majority
of the troops will obey neither
the U. N. resolution nor the
decision of the four-nation
pact to leave Burma.
No Surprise
This has not surprised the
Burmese. One said bluntly:
THE blighter lLi Nib has
never intended to take his
troops out of Burma. We never
thought he would"
Tentatively, the government
is willing to give the wayward
troops until the end of the
monsoon season, about Octo-
ber or November to leave
peaceably. If they don't go,
Rangoon is preparing to
launch a military campaign
late this year or early next
to destroy the Nationalist
remnants.
There is one possibility that
this threat of bloodshed can
be avoided. If the United
States puts strong pressure on
Chang the Burmese are con-
vinced that the organized
troops in Burma will decide"
they want to get out. There
seems little likelihood that.
even under orders. all the esti-
mated 10000 will willingly de-
part from Burma, however.
More than half are considered
to be mere brigands, unor-
ganized and under no ones
control. These will be treated
as bandits by the Burmese II
they do not surrender.
Burma, of course, would like
to see this entire, tense situa-
ton resolved without further
conflict or trouble. She wants
to be friends with everybody.
And just to show that, as a
people and government, they
harbor no grudges. the Bur-
mese recently sent a $4,000
cash gift to the United States
to help our tornado victims.

Recent reports that Burma
has been invaded by Red
Chinese troops are being taken
with q grain Of salt by the
people most concerned, the
Burmese themselves. In their
opinion. this is not the begin
ming Of Mao Tse- -tung's long
anticipated march into Burma
to protect the country from
Nationalist Chinese Army
remnants living of the Bur-
mese countryside.
Communist forces up to bat
talon strength have frequent
ly made small forays across
the vaguely defined Burma
China border. The latest "in-
vasions" are several hundred
miles from the regions where
the Chinese Nadonalists are
operating.
Big Worry
Burma's biggest source Of
worry remains those remnants
Of Chiang's defeated armies.
AS soon as the monsoon sea-
son ends the Burmese hope to
take another crack at round
ing them up.
Try as she will, Burma has
not been able to divorce her
self from the problems Of the
world while she concentrates
on the desperate internal fight

Business Looks Good
For Rest Of Year,
Steel Mills Report
BY the Assoeiafed Presa

NEW YORK, July 22.-Steel
business "looks good for the rest
OF this year." the Iron Age, ma
tional Woodworking weekly, said
today.
THE only thing that could
make it fall on its face would be
an epidemic of cancellations"
the weekly noted. THAT could
still happen, but it isn't being ex-
pected as loudly as it was a few
weeks ago."
Iron Age stressed that con-
sumers haven't given up the
ghost yet: they are still very ac-
tive in the market. So much so
that they continue to amaze pro-
ducers with the persistence of
their demand. It seems certain
that fourth-quarter order books
on most major products will be
tllled with minimum of time
and trouble"
Much will depend on what
happens to the auto industry
later in the year, the article
conceded. Steel buyers for the
auto companies "are beginning
to play their hands from close to
their chests. They obviously feel
they will be able to fill their steel
needs without resorting to ex-
penslve sources which had been
raising their costs sky high-$25
or more extra per car in some
cases"
steel people are more opti-
mlstlc than they have been for
several weeks; they expect bust
ness to remain excellent for the
rest of the year, with only a lit
tie slack in the waning months"
Iron Age added. This is quite
turnabout from the past when
Steelmakers were cautious and
auto makers were optimistic
Don't look for any prolonged
shutdoWns for automotive model
changes this year. Except for
some OF the companies that al
ready have car inventory trou-
bles. production will be main
tanned at high level right up to
cnangeover date" Iron Age said.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The

clared a regular quarterly pay

American men age 40-65.
ANY man over 40 who is 1879 or

from the grim reaper, according
10 Or. Norman Jolliffe, director OF
Bureau Of Nutrition, City Of New
York Department Of Health.
DR.. Jolliffe is the author OF 9
book "Reduce and Stay Reduced
which goes thoroughly into the
matter Of maintaining health
while losing weight. A feature Of
the book which interests readers Is
the fact that bread is included in

all the protective foods, including
bread.
Using doctors as one example Of
the poor showing Of Americas
middle aged males, Dr. Jollifte
pointed out that an American doc.
tor at age 40 has five and one half
years less expectancy than the
English doctor Of 40. Only 49, OF
Americas 4O-year old doctors but
27N 81 the English 40-year old
doctors can expect to- reach 30.
"In no other country In the
world today do you fnd 9 higher
Incidence Of obesity among males
as IN this country" Dr.. JOllife
said. arYou may ask why the high
mortality IL trueM American men
and not American women. The
probable answer Is that women
are 3 b~iolOgically superior sex:
They Withstand operations and
many diseases better than men.
And they stand overweight better
than men"
The problem lies In the fact Of
Over-eating, in the majority OF
cases. Stutfing ct mealtime and not
enough physical exertion may be
charged with some Of the respOn-
sibiiity for overweight, many az.
tKorities say.
DR.. Joliffe emphasizes that the
old idea that bread is fattening 10
{ complete myth. No one food Is
fattening, he says. It IS an excess
sive consumption Of all foods
which brings about obesity.
He pointed out that an average
slice Of bread contains 65 calorles.
much less than normal servings
Of many other foods. And the
average cocktail runs from l20
to 100 calories so the person who
has three cocktails before dinner

The Importance Of dieting sane.
