Milk Is Poisonous to Some Babies

For some babies milk is q

The condition, galactose-

genes responsible for it are
widely distributed in the

of some concern to geneti-

Health scientists have just
carried out q study of 30
cases. The conditin.: appears
to be due tn displacement Of

which the nervous system

Not Widely Known
Although the disease has
been known vaguely for
years. it is unlikely that
many physicians. even child
specialists. ever have heard
Of it. There is. only one
treatment-take the child on
any kind of milk immedi-
ately and forever and substi-
tute some formula in which
sucroSe, or cane sugar, is
substituted for galactose. It
probably is impossible to

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL
Winter seemed a wonde,

Winter seemed a wonder
full time to gain back the
pounds lost last summer.
One Washingtonian, of too
hefty a build, was promised
IS for every pound he lost.
He lost IS pounds
BUT he has not collected,
because this winter he gained
them all back again.
That Is the way it goes, as
most reducers have learned,
but whether to their sorrow
or not depends on many
factors. M - aaY

Reducing seems 90 easy
for other people.
"All you have to do" one
says. smugly, "is not eat 80
much"
All you have to DO, indeed!
With glistening supermar-
kets on every corner. almost.
and plenty Of deprecated
dollars in ones pocket, you
would have to have the resist.
ance Of a supersaiesman to
avoid eating too much.
The trouble Is that what is
too much for one is not
enough for another.
Some people, as they f1nd
out, sooner or later, have q
fat-making mechanism in
their bodies.
Almost anything they eat
turns to fat. solid or soft.
Oh, 1t is true that II they
walked IS miles every day.
and rode q bicycle 100 miles,
or climbed o mountain, or
swan or swum the Potomac
from Washington to Alex
andria every night. they
might lose what they want
to lose.
Exercise. the lost art in re.
ducing. is now returning to
the fore.
Even the medical men now
say that exercise may help
some.
The American scene in the
past 10 years has run the
gamut Of reducing diets.
The very latest was one
cooked up by a doctor and
printed as the lead article in
no less a publication than
the Journal Of the American
Medical Association.
This one. a reducing diet

composed Of lean meat and
fried fat. three times q day.
The author admitted that
few people could keep 1t up
more than two weeks. or a
month at the most, after
which he permitted them to
add vegetables and fruits.

For a Stronger Defense

Those who had been predicting that
the President would come up with a
milk-and-water scheme for reorganiz-
wondering what hit them. For there are
no. pulled punches in this message. Mr..
Eisenhower lays it on the line, and If
Congress adopts his recommendations
the result will be more of revolution
than a reorganization in the defense
establishment.
The recommendations are designed
to achieve six major detectives. U
Create truly unified operational COM
(3) Set up stronger staff for the Sec
rotary Of Defense. az Concentrate the
efforts Of the three military depart
mentS on administration. (5) Reorgan-
lie and strengthen research and devel-
opment. (6) Remove all doubt as to the
full authority" Of the Secretary Of
Defense.
This last proposal is the key to the
whole. If it becomes effective, the Sec
rotary will be the boss in fact as well as
in name-the boss Of manpower, money,
weapons and strategy. He will no longer
be charged with responsibilities while
also being denied the authority needed
to discharge them.
Mr.. EiSenhower'S arguments in sup
port Of these far-reaching recommended
tons are persuasive. He says that
separate ground, sea and air warfare is
gone forever. IF ever again we should
be involved in war, we will fight 1t in
all elements, with all services, as one
single concentrated effort" And peace
time preparatory and organizational ac-
tivity, says the President, must con-
form to this fact"
Much Of the message was devoted
to hard-hitting attack on inter-Service
rivalries. Consider this excerpt:
The need to maintain an effective
deterrent to war becomes ever more
critical -. The products of modern tech
nology are not. In many cases. readily
adaptable to traditional service patterns
or existing provisions Of law. Thus there
has tended to be confusion and contro-
versy over the introduction of new
weapons into oVr armed forces and over
the current applicability of long -estab-
lished service roles and missions.
Moreover the new weapons and other
defense undertakings are so costly as to
heavily burden our entire economy. We
must achieve the utmost military efi-
cheney in order to generate maximum
power from the resources we have avail
able.
Confronted by such urgent needs,
we cannot allow differing service view
points to determine the character Of our
defenses-either as to operational PLAN
ming and control. or as to the develop
ment. production and use Of newer
weapons To sanction administrative
confusion and inter-service debate is, in
these times. to court disaster. I cannot
overemphasize my conviction that our
countrys security requirements must not
be subordinated to outmoded or SINGLE
service concepts Of war.
There will be an abundance Of
bitter opposition, both open and UNDER
ground, to these proposals. For they
are drastic, and their implications, of
course, should be carefully studied and
explored. But the legislators have been
clamoring for leadership from the Presi-
dent in this matter, and that appeal
certainly has been answered. The rest
is up to Congress-

New Plans
For Filter

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission h a S
scrapped plans to build a
Georgian style filtration plant
at Watts Branch and the Po-
tomac in favor of a contem-
porary building of st !,
masonry with large areas of
glass.
The change, a WSSC spokes-
man said, was made, in fur
Their effort to make the plant fit
in with the homes of the area"
I'VE believe the filtration
plant :. will be a shOwplace
and will actually increase sur.
rounding property Values" the
WSSC commissioners said in a
joint statement submitted to the
county council Tuesday.
The Council does not have
any authority over the installa-
ton but merely was informed by
the Sanitary Commission as
matter of courtesy.
No construction may begin at
the 35-acre site until the Circuit
Court for Montgomery County
rules on condemnation proceed
ings instituted by WSSC. The
property is owned by five mem.
bers of the Holman family,
known as Gladys Aline Hermann,
ct al.
Negotiations between the He'll
manns and the WSSC are pro-
ceeding but no arguing price was
revealed, said WSSC spokes-
man.
The Sanitary Commission has
So million set aside for land ac-
QUESTION and construction in its
1858 budget. The plant and its
three pumping stations and the
land would cost an estimated Sl2
million and would be ready for
operation no later than 1860.
The plant would produce 80
million gallons per day by 1860
and 120 million gallons per day
by 1890, target date for final
utilization of the plants poten-
tial.
The WSSC plans to spend a
total of $2S million for the Watts
Branch site by 1890 when it will
be the largest filtration station
in the Sanitary District that en-
compasses parts of Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties.
