BY BURTON HAWKINS

Every evening except Sunday
an old fellow-alone but not
.lonely-boards a streetcar near
Eighteenth street and Columbia
road and heads for the brighter
lights downtown. On G street
he joins the long tray line wait
ing to pluck dinner of cafeteria
shelves.
The surprisingly spry gentle
man. slim. erect, ready with q
laugh, was Clark Griffith's room
mate with the 1888 Milwaukee
baseball club. He's George
Winkelman. who will be 80 next
Monday. II he isn't the Oldest
living ex-major Lacquer, there
aren't enough around who are
older to get up a poker game.
He's a familiar figure to WASH
ington baseball fans. Hardly q
man is now alive who will re-
call his brief pitching stint with
the 1886 Washington Statesmen,
but II you spun a turnstile oc-
casionally at Griffith Stadium
between 1882 and 1913 chances
are you'll recall the face. He
was ticket taker there until
he was SO. with a steady smile
for those who filed past him.
Still Goes To Games
A constant and a welcome
visitor to the Office of the late
boss of the Senators, Winkelman
still gets out to the ball park a
few times a year, generally. by
himself and slips off unaccom-
panied to Atlantic City for a
couple Of weeks during the sum-
mer.
He's no sour. senile, crotchety
fellow. He gets a bang out Of
living and there are no refer
ences to 1.-The good old days"
OF present ball players he
says, They're much better today
than in my day, with much
more imagination. Shucks. when
I played. the third baseman
remained rooted to the foul line.
the first baseman played only
a few feet away from the bag
and outfielders wore bare spots
standing in the same places.
There were a lot more hits
through the infleld then, with
those statues standing around. "
No Yielding To Age
AS a sample OF the mans re-
fusal to yield to age, the old
lefthander had a date last sum-
mer Yep. When he advanced to
the cashiers cage in a restaur-
ant one morning he noticed the
young lady at the counter was
glancing through a baseball
magazine.
do you like baseball?" George
ventured.
I'm crazy about It,"
Want to go out to the ball
park tonight and see Mickey
Mantle?" Winkelman pursued.
I'D love TO-"
1.-THE Yankees got of to a big
lead" Winkelman recalls, so
we didn't hang around for the
entire game. Went downtown
and had three gin fixes
more than I ever had at one
sitting in my life. When l took
her home she patted me on the
shoulder and said. Gee. I've
really enjoyed the evening"
George CALAMITY told her.

American Ambassador Scott
Mcleod was hypnotized and
bitten before he left for his
post in Dublin!
This may sound like unusual
preparation for a diplomatic
assignment. Indeed you might
even call it singular. But this
is one thing you can't blame
on the State Department.
1t does make strict demands
of its ENJOYS but pre-depar-
ture hypnosis. so far as !
know, isn't one of them. Not
even for a fellow headed for
Bridey Murphy's land.
AS for being bitten-and by
someone outside the depart
ment, too! Well let's begin at
the beginning.
1t seems that a group Of
Bethesda neighbors, including
the McLeods, got together
recently for an informal sup
per. The delightful party was
no different from any other
until someone asked DR.. Arthur
Dick, a washington plastic
surgeon, about hypnosis,
knowing he was proficient in
same.
The pleasant-voiced, retir-
ing doctor said that 1t was
really quite simple to do. There
is a recording out by a DR..
Sokol. he said, called "Hypno-
tism" that makes the whole
thing easy to understand. 1t
doesn't teach you how to do
it yourself. however.
In general. he said. the
better the mind, the easier 1t
is to hypnotic. A moron may
not react.
Unconvinced, gray-thatched
Representative Ken Heating
of New York, one Of the wits
of Congress, offered to prove
that strong minded thinkers
like himself wouldn't succumb.
But in 2 or 8 minutes he
was sleeping like a baby. The
lawmaker was then told that
when he came to he would
walk around a certain area
twice and then stop in the
middle and shake hands with
someone. Inasmuch as all II
guests were then acquainted
this was unnecessary. but Ken
snapped out Of the sleep and
did just as had been suggested
Then Mrs. De Witt Hyde
wife Of the Representative
from Maryland, was hypno.

nosis for five or six minutes,
he was advised that the middle
finger on his right hand was
numb, that he couldn't feel q
thing in it. BY way Of testing
it. one of the men pressed his
fingernail against Scotty's f1n-
ger but he obviously felt no
discontinue whatsoever.
Suddenly a woman guest
who thought the Ambassador
must be taking. bit him on the
finger with such force her teeth
marks we're plainly visible for
an hour.
But Scotty. who recently
felt the fangS of both the
Senate and the press when his
appointment came up for con-
firmation, didn't feel a thing.
From here on in, the lepre-
chauns, Bridey, or even the
bits of Irish wit should be q

There are many false conceptions con-
cerning diet, and one has to do with fats
Some people think fats are not healthy,
and should be avoided. 1t is commonplace for
people wishing to reduce in weight to attempt
to follow totally fat-free diets.
The weight of present-day medical evil
dence is, against this concept. The exact role
Of fat in the diet has not yet been fully de-
fined. But the dieticians now know that fat
is both desirable and necessary to health
whether body weight is to be reduced or not.
Fats contribute to the processes of growth
and replacement of tissue. They are an i'm
portant source of calories. And, of no small
moment, they make foods more inviting and
better tasting.
"A common-senSe, authoritative appraisal
of the subject of fats in the diet appeared in
a recent issue of the Journal of the American
Medical Association, written by DR.. Charles
d. May of Iowa City. He urged caution in
setting arbitrary levels for the amounts of
animal or vegetable fats we consume He
stated that the current situation is surround
ed by lack of knowledge, incomplete research,
and the threat of exploitation by selfish in
terests or undue emotion and competitive
ness among Investigators" He also said :
'The problem of obesity is separate from the
determination of the proper use of fat in
the diet for the promotion of sound nutri-
tion. -. 1t is obviously unwise and unneces-
sary to exclude fats from the diet, and even
if desirable would not doubt be virtually i'm
possible"
