By josephine Lowmon

Often the adolescent girl Is
unhappy because she feels that
she is too fat. This may not
be true overweight but a lin
sering Of the plumpness which
is natural in childhood and
the first few teen-age years.
However, II the girl is really
overweight, the repercussions
on personality and individual
psychology and happiness may
be great and may have q far
reaching effect on the person
all through rler life. Real over
weight in q young teen-ager is
something you must do some
thing about. not only because
Of her health but because Of
her future happiness.
Parents are too prone to take
overweight in a young girl as
unimportant-something to see
about later on if it does not
take care Of itself. While you
wait for nature to do some
thing for your child, your
daughter Is probably building
up all sorts Of complexes which
will damage her all through
her life.

Mrs. keeney Freed
OF Contempt Charge
In Second Trial Here

Mrs. Mary Jane Keeney was
acquitted yesterday at her Sec
ond trial on charges Of refusing
to tell the Senate Internal Sc
curity subcommittee whether
anyone in the State Department
helped her get a job with the
United Nations.
Federal Judge Henry A.
Schweinhaut exonerated her of
an indictment that charged con-
tempt of Congress before the
subcommittee in February. 1852.
She was a U. N. editor until
September, 1851. and had pre-
viously worked with the State
Department.
Mrs. Keeney, who now lives in
New York, had been convicted
in an earlier trial in 1858. The
conviction. however, was later
set aside by the q. S. Court of
Appeals for the District of
Columbia on the ground the
previous trial Judge had allowed
a jury to hear prejudicial
testimony.
Her counsel. Attorney Joseph
Forer, argued there was no re-
fusal on her part to answer the
question and no intent to be in
contempt of Congress. After her
appearance before the commit
tees Mrs. Keeney filed a signed
statement saying she did not
know whether anyone in the
State Department aided her in
getting the job with U. N.

His bill calling for an increase
in the per diem expense allow
ance for government employees
passed. This bill raised the per
diem from So per day to Sl2. An
unusual feature of this bill was
the fact that it was reported out
of the committee under Fascell'S
name, something which is almost
unheard of in the House for a
first term Congressman. The vote
for it was 800 to Al.
A bill to repeal the travel tax
to countries in the Caribbean area
was introduced by him and was
passed. 1t now awaits Senatorial
action.
Each April 80 will be known as
past President's Day" if another
of FaScell's bills becomes a law.
This day would not be a national
holiday, but rather a day on
which the American people would
honor and recognize the achieve
mentS of all former presidents of
the United States. This proposal
is aimed principally at the school
children of the nation and is de-
signed to stimulate interest IN
the work of those men who made
our country great but whose
works are little known or over
Swallowed by other historical fig
ureS.
Toward the closing days of the
session, Fascell was assigned to
a three man committee of the
Government Operations Commit
tee which is charged with the
task of investigating suppress
sion of news by government agen-
cies. With freedom of the press
as one of the great preceptS of
the American people, this in
veStigation promises TO attract
nationwide attention.
