Bor-BeI Challenge to Teens
By GEORGE FLYNN
Teen Editor Of The Star

Are teen-agers getting "soft?"
One teen-ager observer is fearful
they are, that the sedentary life
they lead is producing big but soft
bodies.
There's no doubt" says Richard
Wheatley, director of teen-age ac-
tivities in Arlington, that the teen
ager of today is larger than the
teen-ager Of a generation ago. The
question is whether he's stronger"
Lack of vigorous exercise is re-
sponsible for the trend toward fab
by muscles, he believes.
To counterfeit this, he has placed
in Arlington'S teen centers sets Of
bar bells and dumbbellS.
The $27 sets, which Mr.. Wheatley
says last forever" was his best
answer to the after school hour
doldrums when boys are likely to
lounge about teen clubs listening to
the radio or reading magazines.
On the walls of the teen clubs
are illustrations telling how to use
the bar bells to build heavy muscles
whose development is overlooked
by many youths.
Only minority of the teen-age
boys use the sets regularly, however,
although the directors of the CEN
tiers are attempting to stimulate
their interest.
Mr.. Wheatley points out that
"just Q handful Of boys partici-
pate in varsity sports in high school.
For the rest. table tennis and
dancing are likely to constitute
their principal forms Of exercise.
The bar bell project isn't expected
to produce Mr.. America" candi-
dates. If 1t puts hard muscles on
a few exercise-shy teen-agers, Mr..
Wheatley believes the small in
vestment will pay big dividends.

recovery continued for the re-

many explanations after the first
trading day Of the week: The
market was leveling off. finding
the long-expected plateau after
the steady decline from mid-sum-
mer peaks: the boom was over and
the country was headed for q
period Of business stability, and at
its worst. mid recession.
When trading closed on Friday.
recovery had been complete: the
market was unchanged from the
previous week.
Those who looked for more, con-
crete explanations for the mar
ket's behavior could find them:
Mondays drop could be traced to
announcements Of defense order
cutbacks. Russia's chronological
advances. pessimism about the
Middle East. The upward turn
could be laid to a successful
launching Of the Jupiter missile
and President Eisenhower's an
nouncement that he was planning
a series Of speeches TO strengthen
confidence In the economy.
Many observers have been
somewhat comforted by the de-
cline Of the past few weeks in the
market. and the general slacken-
ing in the boom which began three
years ago. They felt that the
seven-year market rise had lasted
long enough.
The week closed with a note Of
cheer for the consumer in the
monthly report Of the Bureau Of

REVIEW OF THE WEEK

Pupil Placement Act was uncon-
stitutional.
The law had removed pupil as
signment powers from local school
boards and superintendents and
lodged them In q Central State
placement board.
But other walls must tumble
before white and Negro children
sit side by side in virginia's public
schools. There Is. for instance, q
law requiring the Governor 70
close any school that Is integrated
and then. II he wishes. to reopen
It on a segregated basis.
II that law Is thrown out by the
courts, there win still be one that
provides for returning control Of
q school to the local board-but
with the Withholding Of State
funds. which would close many
schools.
Long before these laws are de-
clared unconstitutional. however.
the plan is TO enact other laws de-
signed to thwart integration.
That is the massive resistance"

Afobism on the Rise
Once again today Arabism Is

Despite their fears Of Moscow

must bow to popular emotion and
rally TO Syria's defense. II is q
case Of sister Arab nation being
abused. and the Arab says:
MY brother and / may fight my
cousin, but all three must fight
the stranger"
It was q situation made to
order for the Russians. Mr..
Khrushchev's agents concocted
stories of an exile government
sitting In Turkey-Syria's ancient
enemy-waiting to move toward
Damascus with the aid Of Turkish
troops. The Syrians. with Rus
sian assistance, plastered the Arab
press with charges that the United
States was planning aggression
through Turkey. NATo maneu-
vers in Turkey served 70 bolster
their story.
The Russian effort was born of
a determination not to lose the
hard-won initiative in the Middle
East. If the situation became too
dangerous, the Russians could pull
back temporarily. as they had
done before. But their ultimate
aim obviously was to destroy the
Baghdad pact and any semblance
Of q Western base in the Middle
East.
The new chapter of the chronic
Middle East crisis now unfolding
centers on a Syria which seems
fast slipping into a steely Moscow
grip. without any overt attempt
to make her either Communist or
a satellite. Moscow can hope
before too long to control Syria's
policy and destiny.
Other Arabs may look on in
horror. But they either cannot
or win not speak or act in the
defense of the West any more.
