AMERICANS GROW
BIGGER; GIANTS
OF THE EARTH
Gain Two Inches In Height and
Five Pounds Weight in
IS Years

Observation-Disclosures are
fast becoming the giants of the
human race.
Young people, 20 to 35 years old,
are about two inches taller and
five pounds heavier than their
counterparts in 1900.
American men now average five
feet, ten inches-equal to Africa's
Nilotic tribesmen, long known as
the worlds tallest people. Though
some Nilotic tribesmen tower sew
en- feet, their average is now no
higher than that of Americans, the
National Geographic Society re-
ports.
American women are growing,
too They now average five feet,
five inches. Few modern women can
fit into their grandmothers' clothes.
Along with height. Americans
have increased in weight. Men are
up from 100 pounds in 1900 to an
average of 1875; women also have
gained around five pounds, to
reach an average of 127.
Trend To Continue
Anthropologists expect the up
ward trend to continue because of
progress in medicine, sanitation,
and nutrition.
People moving to the United
States soon outstrip their relatives
abroad. A recent survey showed
that Mexican men who came before
they were 81, and staying in this
country at least two years, were
taller than their kinsmen who re-
manned in Mexico, ..s
"A survey of 1876 Japanese girls
born and reared in the United
States, showed they were 1.6 inches
taller than girls of like age in ia
pan.
While biologists know great
deal about growth, some mystery
factors remain. For example,
scientists have yet to explain why
inhabitants of the mountain States
are bigger than Fasteners and
Southerners.
Bigger people can create prob
lens for industry. Clothing manu-
factourers now conduct costly sur
veys to determine the changing
sizes of their customers. Aircraft
companies have rearranged cock
pits to fit bigger pilots. At least
one hotel owner has put seven
foot bed in every room with the
number ending in seven.
Curiously, Americans apparently
are not letting growth go to their
heads. The hat industry reports
that most people still buy hats size
7h or smaller.

abel SLOUGH can set you up for
highway hypnosis.
There are nearly as many ways
to keep alert while driving as therA
are drivers. Some find that reading
every sign aloud is helpful. Others
note the various types of architec-
ture along the roadside. One fell
low drives in his stocking feet.
But such individual devices are
not the final answer, of course.
There's not likely to be one until
electronic highways take over may
be.

BILE, to get a reading on stu
ations of this kind.
Republicans are naturally
playing the situation straight,
just as Democrats would do
in their place. A rare few ad-
nit to wonder and concern;
the party line is that all is
going along as usual, includ-
ing the business of the Gov
ernment, and that the party
which Is so soon and so de-
cisively to change hands is
just one big happy family.
1t may be that Gov. Rock
efeller's call upon the Pres
ident will develop real news.
Gov. Rockefeller's behavior
is so studiously correct and so
confined as q rule to surface
facts rather than his impress
sions, the betting is against
it.
Democrats, of course, have
a great deal to lose If they
put their feet in the wrong
places during the next few
months. They are resigned to
watchful waiting, though
they have not the slightest
doubt that the Republican
party'S most resourceful poll

The Communists are win
ming victory after victory,
while the West seems to be
retreating.
The Communists have
forced a crisis in Japan and
are intent on preventing
President Eisenhower from
visiting there. Success in
keeping Mr.. Eisenhower from
going to Tokyo will be fol-
lowed by intensified efforts
also to keep him out Of the
Philippines and Korea.
Thus the propaganda bat
tie to hurt the standing of
the United States in the Far
, East goes on, even as the
Communists have virtually
seized control of the govern
ment of Cuba-right at the
doorstep of the United States.
The invasion of Cuba is the
first step toward further
takeovers in Latin America.
Without firing a shot, the
Communists are aking
headway in countries hither-
to regarded as the military
frontiers of the West.
Already in America there
are SUGGESTIONS that Presi-
dent Eisenhower had better
not go to the Far East. This
is exactly what the Commu-
nistS want to see happen. An
American President, officially
invited to visit Allied coun-
tries, would then appear, in
effect, to be forbidden by
Communist a activity from
carrying out his mission. The
adverse effect of such a hap
pening would, from a propa-
ganda standpoint, be a seri-
GUS blow to American pres
tige throughout the world.
Much of this declin has
happened within the last two
months. Korea has become
weaker. Turkey has had a Sc
rious internal upset. Japan is
torn by strife, with the Com
munistS demonstrating open
ly against the government
because it signed a security
treaty permitting the United
States to have a base there
to fight Communist .aggreS-
sion.

All this has a military sig
nif1cance. Thus, by suspend
ing U-2 flights, the United
States has lost an important
auxiliary activity. Not only
can weather information no
longer be obtained by flying
at high attitudes over the So
Wet Union, but also a vital
means Of detecting prepara-
'tions for a surprise attack
has been subtracted.
Of1cial Washington, too,
presents a sorry picture. The
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee has been med
ding in the operation of for
eign policy, which is not its
constitutional function. Some
curious statements, moreover,
have been made by some Of
its members about the U-2
episode.
One of the most fantastic
is the suggestion that the
high officials Of our Govern
ment should have publicly
lied throughout on the U-2
flights or should have said
nothing at all. But the same
members of Congress who
offer this hindsight would
have been the first to de-
mand testimony from high
officials as to what exactly
did happen. If the high off,
cials didn't tell the truth to
the committee, they would
have been guilty of perjury.
If they refused to discuss it
at all, the facts would have
been obtained by the COM
mittee from lesser officials
and the press would have
been printing it day after
day until confirmation had
been obtained.
Under the circumstances,
the administration had no
choice but to tell the truth
about the affair as soon as 1t
became definitely established
that Francis Powers had been
captured and was alive. For

nized that he would have

many Democrats hope his

him with being soft" on the
Eisenhower administration.
But nobody could suspect
him of proceeding from a
need to justify a personal
pro-Summit bias of the past
by harping on the errors OF
others.

Cancellation of Press Session and Debate
Over Travel Plans Stirs Speculation

Washington is living under
the distressful shadow of
anxiety about President Eli
senhower, his health, his
projected travels. his general
air of remoteness as con-
gresSional adjournment nearS
and the presidential cam
paigning goes into high gear.
For the fourth straight
week, the Presidents news
conference has been can
celled. This means the coun-
try will be denied his own
comments on a variety of
issues and people and on the
political developments which
preoccupy them. Reporters
at least try to probe his frame
of mind and make some at
tempt at Judgment of the
White House attitudes about
which there is so much
speculation in private.
At the same time, the Presi-
dent will be losing that ac-
cess to the marketplace of
information and ideas that
is represented by the news
conference. 1t has long been
clear that this institution,
whatever its failings, fills gaps
in the Presidents knowledge
of many things of deep con-
cern in other high places.

sional committees and their
chairmen insist on the right
of public inquiry and the
politicians urge such q
course, no administration can
afford to suppress the essen
tial facts about any con-
troversy, no matter how de-
licate a situation may be
created in international rela-
tions.
A showdown seems to be
approaching. How long can
the United States continue
to appear in retreat? How
long can U-2 flights be
suspended while the Soviets
carry on espionage and an
inflltration that weakens
Americas military position
against the Communists?
A test may come in Cuba.
Nikita Khrushchev is going
there soon. If President Eli
senhower is kept from visit
ing Japan, then the Soviet
Premier should be discour-
aged from visiting Cuba.
There are plenty of Cuban
citizens who can do the dis
couraging" if they are sure
the American government
has a policy looking in that
direction.
But even broader measures
are necessary. A breakdown
on Communists in every
Western country would seem
to be needed. This can be
brought about more readily
if diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and
the gangster regime in Mos
COW are cut off. This would
stop the influx of Communist
agents into the United States,
and it would be a signal to
Latin American countries to
take similar measures.
If the West seems to the
rest of the world to be show
ing the white feather while
the Soviets are infiltrating or

to the West, it is only a ques-

But it is the Kennedy
Stevenson forces which are
more likely to control the
platform committee. Its des-
ignated chairman, Repre-

Connecticut, is a Kennedy
man all the way. Any sug-
gestion that any of these
gentlemen is an "appeaser"
is, of course, nonsense. But
the undoubted fact that they
are sincere and honorable
does not alter the fact that
they are most unwise.
The central Democratic
necessity is somehow to mute
the Stevenson Kennedy line
