the whole business by threaten
ing to block American League
entry into Los Angeles territory,
now held exclusively by the. Ma
tional League Dodgers.
Prick is menaclng American
League baseball in both cities
by bringing up a techni2ality
which apparently didn't bother
him recently when he emerged
from a meeting with Presidents
Joe Cronin of the American
League and Warren Giles of
the National League. At that
time he appeared quite enam-
ored of the American leagues
prospects of playing in Wash
ington and Los Angeles next
season.
The commissioner isn't OBJ
jecting to anything about the
Washington setup. However,
his indication that he'll side
with the National League in
rebelling against invasion of
Los Angeles would kill base
ball in Washington for at least
one year, or until the National
League is prepared to play in
New York and Houston.

Fat is an ugly word especially to
the woman who thinks of herself in
terms of being pleasantly plump in
stead of stout-or the man who looks
at himself as being brawny instead
of blubbery. But whichever way it's
expressed, overweight can mean only
one thing: a shorter lease on life,
according to the latest life insurance
report by the Society of Actuaries.
What do the actuaries advise doing
about this problem? Being statisti-
clans and not physicians, they re-
frain from giving medical counsel.
But, fortunately, another study has
recently been completed by team
of medical experts which may well
save many a one from eating himself
into an early grave.
At a Chicago university, medical
researchers conducted a study to
learn as much as possible about the
safety and effectiveness of appetite
deterrents"- waters, tablets, pills,
low-calorie candy and drugs.
Chosen as human guinea pigs"
was a group of men and women who
needed-zand wanted-to lose weight.
Many had been on-again, Off-again
dieters for years. Said one woman
who'd fallen for dozens of reducing
fads: ''My husband complained that
all I'd reduced was his pOcketbook."
Nevertheless, they were all anxious
to try once more to lose weight
Over an eight week period, test
subjects were weighed weekly. And
here are the results. Those on dextrO-
amphetamine "a prescription drug)
lost an average of only 3.8 lbs; those
on waters, 3.3 lbs. Those on the
second-best product Ia tablet lost
40 lbs. But those eating the candy
(Ayds, made by Campana) lost lis

lbs, the highest average loss OF all.
Taken before meals as directed,
this no-drug candy curbs the appe'
tite, so you automatically eat less,
lose weight naturally. And here's why
it works where ordinary candy won't.
According to the research director:
when you eat = say a chocolate
cream, you're adding l25 calories.
But with Ayds, you're taking candy
that has only Is calOries and is forti-
fed with vitamins and minerals to
maintain health while eating less"
The director then explained that
the action of Ayds is based on the
theory of blood sugar levels. When
a persons blood sugar is low, his
craving for food is high. When his
blood sugar is elevated, his desire
for food is next to nil.
In a separate blood sugar study,
it was found that the low calorie
candy caused the greatest elevation
in the blood sugar level. This, in
turn, curbed hunger waves" among
the test subjects an average Of 1870
longer than the next best product.
For all those who've been plagued
for years by an ''Overactive" appe-
tite, this report should prove encOur-
aging. But one thing must be kept
in mind. 1t takes lots of eating to
build up layers of fat. They cannot
be shed overnight.
Without expecting miracles, but
hoping for reasonable results, thou
sands of men and women have al
ready found the rewards Of follow
ing the Ayds Plan: trimmer figures
and better health.

Mineral Candy, either vanilla cara

Alec Guinness and Director
Carol Reed are Just the chaps
ito waggle the fingers of imp
.ish scorn at such an awesome
land mysterious institution as
military intelligence.
! This they do ever so drily and
.drolly in Our Man in Havana, "
(which opened yesterday at the
. Ontario theater. Whatever
damage this does to the cause
of international espionage, it
can only make moviegoers
happy while waiting for spring.
An amusing, irreverent Gra-
ham Greene novel is the source
Of the antics of Mr.. Guinness,
Noel Coward. Ralph Richard
son and several other Cutlery
farceurs in Our Man in Ha-
val1a." Its premise is that it
issfoolish to risk life and limb
spying in a foreign country
when a good, imaginative man
can dream up so much liveIier
intelligence" reports.
Guinness is the agent and
Cuba Is the foreign country in
which he operates. He gets into
spying to pick up the extra
money needed to send his
pretty daughter to a proper
charm school. The British For
eign Office is instantly i'm
pressed with his talent wher
he submits his first report. a
frightening weapons installa-
aon which Guinness has drawn
rom a vacuum cleaner model.
The need or such inspired
nonsense ss this is a suave,
creamy surface. Director Reed
is the complete master of this
sort OF thing. And it could 60
without saying, but won't, that
no man is abler than Guinness
at tmpersonating the subdued.
soft-spoken. unsuspectable spy
type, Nor Mr.. Coward at carl
caturing the Homburged,
triped-pants diplomat type.
When the espionage joke be-
gins to run thin, a new plot
thread is introduced in the form
Of. Cuba's own politics. Even
this strikes Author Greene as
having its laughably ridiculous
aspect. It is illustrated BY
Ernie Kovacs performance as
Hayana's top police ofncer, a
chap not quite so quick to kill
that Guinness cannot outwit
him-but not quite so easily as
ne does the British Foreign
Ministry.

vide any movie with the action

vince filmgoers that Home

lively immortality.
Director Minnelli neverthe-

formances from his cast. Nit

Home From the HILL" which
opened yesterday at Loew's
Palace is a Texas-size movie
which makes sizzling point that
sin down there is as extrav-
agant as everything else.
Its central character is played
by Robert Mitchum. He is a
kind Of universal baron, land,
cattle, oil, lumber, cement and
most Of all money. What he
cannot buy at his own price,
he acquires through the force
OF a rugged charm which
women especially find irresist-
ible.
Mitchum's man. you see, is a
giant but since that title has
already been used, he is identi-
ned by another, impliedly a
hunter. His quarry is anything
and everything of value, and
some things that are not. This
makes him worthy of a big
budget film to the credits of
which are attached some of
MGM's most lustrous names,
such as Edmund Grainger's as
producer, and Vincente Min
nell, director.
William Humphreys novel of
the same title is the inspiration
OF Home From The Hill" Itsl
stress is upon the point that
the principal victims of this
ruthless type are not the weak
outsiders whom he pillages but
members Of his own family.
There certainly is no lack of
evidence to this effect. His
wife is wretched with the strain
OF having held her husband at
arms length for 18 years; their
legitimate son is transformed |
from a ninny into a manly lad |
whose first decision is to hate |
