does not understand that it is
possible for Fred to be as intel

The carrying of a flask may
be nothing worse than an i'm
mature gesture. 1t is not neces-
sarily a sign of drunkenness or
depravity. for hard drinkers are
able to consume plenty of alco-
hol without having a flask on the
hip at all times.
Daisy is probably very much
mistaken in her appraisal of the
problem. The judgment of the

Ia few months. and without the
help OF medicines or diets, her
excess weight melted away. She
lost that SO pounds; she no
longer had the compulsion to
inibble because of inner anxiety
find that the chief trouble
lis trying to help obese patients
is this: they look for outside
help. but the real cure must be
found within themselves.
Physical Exam First Step
I'll tell you first what your
doctor can do for you. If you
are unquestionably obese-and
l say "unquestionably" because
many patients have come in
wanting to take off weight who
are already normal weighted
he will make a complete physical
examination. This is to de-
termine if there is any under
lying illness.
He may take an electrocardi-
ogram, basal metabolism and
other laboratory tests. If YOU
have heart trouble or diabetes he
will surely insist you take off
excess poundage. And ditto for
high blood pressure.
But suppose you are healthy?
Then your doctor will either give
you a diet sheet or in general
ways outline what you should or
shouldn't eat. For the first few
weeks or months he may help
you conquer your Unsuitable de-
sire for food and drink by Civ
ing you pills of the benzedrine
family. He will ask you to return
every two weeks or month so YOU
can get on the scale and have a
chance to report your dietary
transgreSsions.
My experience is that if peo-
pie are really going to lose, they
are good patients from the start.
At the very next visit they find
they have lost weight. This con-
tinues visit after visit until the
patient is normal.
Variety of Excuses
Too many. however, come back
time after time without weight
loss and with varied excuses
One woman will say: I'm sorry
I couldn't help it. I had to at
tend three dinner parties last
week. You can't refuse the host
eSsw A man will say: Those
lodge dinners are killing me. You
can't turn down beer and Snacks
with the boys"
For the obese patient who
wants to take off weight, here
is the most important key can
give to unlock the mystery OF
the reducing process" I will not
offer you diet or pills-that is
your doctors job. I can offer you
only words. They are so simple
I hope you do not dismiss them
as being unimportant:
You will lose weight only if you
believe that it has become the
most important and strongest de-
sire in your life.
You must awake mornings and
go to sleep at night with that
thought uppermost. This will
not act by the power of sugges-
ton or hypnotism. Inevitably
you will lose because you have
acted upon it" rather than kept
saying II wish I could lose"

Most Important Cause
Answer: You have hit upon
one of the most important
causes of overweight. Overcom-

and overeating is an accepted
medical fact.
Months ago I mentioned the
case of a woman whose only son
was reported lost in Korea
Within six months she gained SO

Belt PARKING
.SurveY0pens

The Districts Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency has launched a
survey to determine the parking
facilities in the area surround
ing the downtown district.
The area mass transit survey
is cooperating in the project.
Lewis R. Watson, jr., parking
agency executive director, said
today the transit survey has put
up $4,000 of the $4,000 cost of
the new project.
The downtown survey, COM
pleted last summer, covered the
area bounded by Massachusetts,
avenue NV. on the north. Con-
stitution avenue on the south
and extending between Second
and Twenty-third streets NV.
The new study covers the Sec
ton outside that downtown area
but lying within the projected
Inner Belt Highway. Roughly
the boundaries for the survey
are the Potomac and Rock Greek
Park on the west, T street NV,
Florida avenue and Benning
road on the north, the Anacostia
River on the east and Independ-
ence avenue and Virginia ave-
nue. to Barney circle Sc. on the
south.
Mr.. Watson said it is hoped
to develop a picture of where
traffic will come into the central
part of the city through the In
ner Belt Highway barrier" and
where parking will be needed
and of what type.
He said he had asked the
transit survey officials to pro-
duce recommendations for park
ing on long range program.
The new survey began a week
ago with the employment of 10
young men to do the leg work
1t is expected to be completed
by June 80.
Mr.. Watson said he is COM
ing to believe that parking
is pretty well taken care u

He said that, 10 times out Of
20 a motorist can come down.
town and get a parking place
within two blocks of where he
wants to go.
The survey of the downtown
area completed last September
i showed 6.768 curb parking
places and 35,346 off-street
places, a total of 42.114.

tween 900 and 1000 additional.

it was found that the pool still
didn't hold water.
John Sprinkle. a representa-
tive of Hall, Border g. Donald

Activities Building. which houses
the pool. describes the present
leak as seepage.
He said the seepage isn't seri-
GUS and that if the pool we're
out of doors 1t wouldn't even be
considered. A series of tests is
being run. he added, to find the
cause.
Coach Campbell, brought to
the university from Virginia Mil
itary Institute, said he was pref
ty disgusted' by the whole mat
ter. The swimming class is be-
ing given "dry run" training
until the pool opens.

be long now.

IT am greatly indebted for the

didate to an effort to regain his
old seat in the Senate.

Tydings told Kent County citi-
zens he was grateful to them for
their previous support.
He started out with State Sen
ator John R. Jewell at Chester
town, going from store to store
shaking hands and greeting
everyone he met at crossroads
and in the fields. During the day
he took in Wilmington. Galena,

farmers are entitled to some sort

Mr.. Tydings said, I've never
heard so much dissatisfaction
from the farmers"
He declared. Industry receives
first consideration and the farm
er is the forgotten man under
the Eisenhower administration
The farmer is entitled to come
in and be placed on a reasonable
parity with the rest of the popu-
lation."
Among those turning out to
support the candidate at the
rally was former Representative
Dudley G. Rove. who lost his
seat to Republican Representa-
tive Miller in the First District

Two Suspects Shot
Fleeing Police Here
Gunfire Follows

caught him after street robbery.
The other, Clinton Moore, 80,

police are certain they nicked
him in flight.
! Pvts. Louis Blancato and Paul
w. CheSser said they came upon
Gregory in the 1900 block of H
street NE, after he had knocked
down Robert Hopper. al, colored,
of APO Seventh street NV. and
was going through his pockets.
Battles With Police
Mr.. Hopper told police he was
waiting for a bus with a friend,
Miss Willie Mae Reems, 81. coll

gan asking questions. Told to

radio. police said.
When police arrived, the hold
up man dashed into an alley and
then to Staples street. There he
had a brief struggle with Pvt.
CheSser, knocking off his hat
and pushing him against a car.
Pvt. Chesser drew his revolver
and fired twice. Then Pvt. Blan-
cato fired twice. the second shot
taking effect.
After an emergency operation
to remove the bullet, Gregory
was still in a critical condition
at District General Hospital.

Struck by Brick
At the rear of 1900 QuarleS

throw a brick which struck the
policeman near the left eye.
AS he was falling forward,
Sergt. Rabbi began firing. The
fugitive continued to run and
disappeared. About an hour
later, Moore showed up at Freed

wound in the left bullock. He
told attendants he had been

and locations.
The resolution also called for
"a later single public meeting to
