noted that non-breakfast eating
people were less alert, less eff
Gent and more susceptible to
fatigue than those who had eat
en- q good morning meal.
Making up for the lack of
breakfast later in the day doesn't
work either, nutritionists say.
Because the human body is so
constructed that it requires fair
ly even intake Of food at regu-
lar intervals for maximum health.
and efficiency.
It is particularly important
for people who are overweight
or those who have trouble keep
ing down to a healthy weight to
eat a good breakfast. The reason
for this Is that people will almost
always eat too hearty a lunch
and dinner and will snack in
between if they skip breakfast.
A recommended basic-breaka
fast consists Of fruit or fruit
juices, cereal, milk, toast and
butter or fortified margarine.
Eggs and bacon or sausaGes
should be included at least a few
times a week. These are tire
foods that are essential to adults
and children to supply the neces.
sary nutrients to equip them for
better stamina, maximum efb'
cheney and greater acuity during
work and school.

"Reise and shine!" Millions of
ex-servicemen still shudder when
they recall that early morning
greeting from a first sergeant
or chief.
Nevertheless, they we're better
off ia some ways than they are
today. Everything was orderly
and routine. Everyone had time
for a good solid breakfast.
How do ex-C Corporal Doe and
his family start their day now?
The above scene from a typi-
cal American home pretty well
describes it. Doe is still shaving
and has just fifteen minutes to
get out of the house and start
for work. The Oldest boy has to
leave for school at the same
time, The little kids are driving
Mrs. Doe to distraction. In
short, all is confusion.
Only the cat seems relaxed
and enjoying his breakfast. In
fact, the cat is the only one who
will get much Of a breakfast.
And that's the trouble. There's
no doubt, according to leading
nutritionists who have made
studies and surveys on the sub
ject, that breakfast IS the most
neglected meal of the dag no

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. L.
More than 1000 Mummers
marched, sang and pranced their
way up Broad street in gay and
comic costume today In Philadel-
phia's traditional welcome to the
incoming year.
A crowd estimated by police
at more than a million braved
the nippy weather to watch the
saith annual extravaganza. A
mild breeze helped extend in full
glory the gay capes and plumage
of the marchers.
The Mummers' parade is an
offspring of a series of neighbor-
hood New Years celebrations In
South Philadelphia. 1t has grown
into a mammoth costumed march
that turns Broad Street-Phila-
delphia's longest. widest

gro was sworn in last night as
Borough President of Manhattan

Big Nations Playing Up
To Arabs, zionists Say
BY the Assoeiased Pres.

JERUSALEM. Jan. 1.-The
General Council of the World
Zionist Organization wound up
its annual meeting here today
with adoption Of a resolution ex-
pressing concern that the worlds
great powers were trying to win
Arab friendship at Israel's ex-
ipenSe.
The council approved a reso-
luton expressing what it termed
ANXIETY and concern over the
tendency of a great number of
powers to win the goodwill of
the Arab states, who persist in
their war against Israel by all
means at their disposal. apart
from open large-scale war;.
The council elected three new
members for the 2O-man Jewish
Agency Executive Board which
has Joint headquarters in tJeru-
salem and New York. They are

r, II i
! administration officials give
several reasons.
/ First. the United States Court
of Appeals here in at least i've
cases during the last few months
inv0lvingiveterans who were fired
sunnmarily. has ruled in favor of
the veterans. In. each case, the
agency, was ordered to rehire the
employee on the grounds that the
individual was not given specific
and detailed charges as required
by the Veterans Preference Act.
Administration officials said
that. although these cases did
not involve veterans in excepted
jobs. the feeling Of the appellate
tribunal ON the application of
the act was so strong that the
Justice Department was very
doubtful Of its chances of win
ming in court.
Second. it was felt that 1t was
politically unpopular and unwise
for the administration TO be in
the position Of wanting to take
away job rights from veterans.
The powerful veterans organiza-
tons were incensed over the mat
ter and threatened to make a
major issue of 1t.

NON VETERANS Non-vet-
Grams in Government also have
some reason to be pleased over
the latest turn Of events.
The job safeguard principle
contained in the Veterans Pref
erence Act is similar to the one
provided for non-veterans as
well as veterans in the Lloyd
LaFollette Act.
Therefore, while the Federal

Million Spectators
Jam Pasadena for.
Tournament Of Roses
Rx the Asseeioted Press

PASADENA, Calf. Jan. L.
Minor mishaps married the start
today Of the annual New Years
Day Tournament of Roses. a
four-mile-long parade of flower
covered floats from all over the
Nation.
The st. Louis float hit a curb
on a turn in South Pasadena en-
route to the parade formation
area. A tire blew out and the
steering gear damned. The float
was towed the rest of the way
to the starting point. where re-
pairs were rushed In an effort
to get the float going. No one
was injured In the accident.
Two commercial floats were
sideswiped by cars on their way
here. The minor damage was
quickly repaired.
Police Chief Clarence Morris
estimated over a million persons
were gathered along the Az mile
pared route.
The hundreds of thousands
who gathered early in the cold
dawn had a spectacle to watch
long before the parade began: An
orange glow from a raging for
est fire lighted the San Gabriel
mountains behind this foothill
city. The blaze, which has
Scorched $4,000 acres and caused
more than 81 million damage. is
still going strong.
AS dawn broke. spectators at
tention turned to the rapidly ar
irving so floats, accompanied by
20 bands. scores of horSemen
and many contingerts of pretty

Department attorney. will appeal
his case to the U. S. Court OF
Appeals here.
VETERANS PROTECTION -
The Justice Departments deci-
sion against testing the job pro-
lection feature of the Veterans
Preference Act does not mean
that veterans cannot be fred for
inefficiency or other causes.
1t does mean, however. that
they cannot be fired summarily
by their agencies. They are en-
titled to detailed and specific
charges in writing as well as to
a 30-day notice of dismissal.
AS a result. this stops sum-
mary firing of veterans. In Sc
curity or loyalty cases, however,
veterans may be suspended i'm
mediately pending hearing on
the case.
REASONS FOR SWITCH -
Why did the Justice Department
experience a change Of heart in
the case of John Witsil, the
former Justice attorney who was
fired from his job last June? Al
that time, the department said
it would welcome Mr.. Whistle
suit in court. because it felt that
the preference act did not apply
to veterans in excepted Federal
jobs.
