Resolve To Keep
Weight Normal In
81 Is Appeal

Pointing out that overweight
overworks the heart, the Arizona
Heart Association today appealed
to the public to adopt the following
New Years resolution:
Resolved, that during 1861 I will
do everything within my power
to keep my weight at reasonably
normal level as a means of safe
guarding my heart and my
health.
The Association, which will con-
duct its annual Heart Fund cam
paign throughout the state during
February, explained that insurance
actuarial studies have shown that
there is a penalty attached to add
ed weight so far as mortality is
concerned.
According to data collected by
life insurance companies, men who
are overweight experience a sig
nificantly higher mortality than
men of average weight or less
than average weight. Moreover,
the greater the degree of over
weight, the larger is the discrep-
ancy between the mortality ex-
pected in a particular group and
the mortality that actually occurs.
Overweight women, too. have a
higher mortality than women who's
weight is close to average, though
they are not quite as seriously at.
fected as men.
The Association urged Americans
to follow these rules:
1. Keep your weight at the best
level for your age, sex and body
structure. Your doctor can tell you
the ideal weight for you and men
bers of your family.
2. Remember that good nutri-
ton is important, and eat varied
and well-baIanced diet. If you are
in doubt about what to eat, ask
your physician.
8. Diet only under medical SUI
pervision, and never put yourself
on a special diet. For one thing, it
may be harmful. For another,
you may not need it. Diets good
dor other persons may be quite
wrong for you.
4. If your doctor has put you on
a special diet, follow it exactly.
Don't make exceptions "just this
once".
S. After you bring your weight
down to optimun. keep it that
way. Resist the temptation to in
dulge in food binges. Make it a
point to think twice before eating
beween-mea1s and bedtime snacks.
For information about your diet
see your Doctor. For helpful pam
phlets about diet and heart disease,
call your local heart association.

Perhaps you have heard the
comment that a camel is a
horse put together by COM
mittee. This illuminates what |
think is one of the principles
of research. Great research is
done by great men, not by
committees. It is The National
Foundations job, among 9TH
ers, to find those great men,
and to see that they have ade-
quate equipment with, which
to work. A~7'
It is natural for the public to
want immediate results. For the
parents of a child afflicted with
arthritis, for instance, to want
quick cures is understandable.
But we are trustees of public
funds. We cannot spend those
funds save for projects that
have some promise of success,
conducted by people who have
shown what they can do.
If our aims in research
could be summed up, I would
say that The National Founda-
ton operates like a rapier, not
a bludgeon. We are selective.
We put March of Dimes funds
in the exact spot and under
the specific man who will make
Arizona sun., 1961-01-05

the most of it. We do not dump
millions into hundreds of prof.
ects with a vague hope that by
the law of averages some may
produce.
In short, we try to be as
careful in the selection of re-
search projects as an extreme
ly fussy woman is in selection
of spring hat.
Theresearch future is bright.
With laboratory methods that
have been developed, many
under March of Dimes grants,
we can move farther and fast
er than in years past. Indeed,
often think of the polio strug-
gle as time when we fooled
up for what is to come. The
methods that were so success
full in that polio challenge are
now being applied to the
greater challenges that he
ahead.
To accomplish what The Ma
tional Foundation desires re-
ouires great men. We have had
them in the past. We shall have
them in the future and, with
public contributions to the
March of Dimes, those men
will accomplish much for the
good of mankind.

times is. was rented, fell into
disrepair and finally was pur-
chased by Albert Clemons for
a pittance.
A noted eccentric, Clemons
went on a building spree. The
house shows the effects of his
peculiarities. First he con-
structed two long wings. Joined
them with a ballroom and
covered the entire structure
with gingerbread. When he was
finished the building boasted
40 rooms.
No Electricity
Albert Clemons never al
lowed electricity. He kept a
cigar store Indian on a balcony
over the front door. Legend
has it that he is buried under
a chapel in the. house and that
his ghost roams the halls at
night. 81
He left the house to Harvard
University, which in turn sold
1t to Frederick Sterling, for
mer Ambassador to Sweden, in
1943. It was during the Ster-
ling tenancy that electricity
was introduced to Halcyon
House.

Wilbur j. Cohen, Assistant
Secretary Of HEW, noted that
the conditions under which
such a program could be car
ried out also are being con-
sidered, since the Government
wouldn't want to compete with
private industry.
The department will make
recommendations to Congress
next year after completing
studies of the welfare picture.
Work relief programs can be
set up under the temporary ex-
pansion of the aid to depend

are unemployed as well as to
those whose fathers are dead

Whitaker Begs Nation
To Obey High Court

ST. LOUIS, Aug. II (AP) -
United States Supreme Court
Justice Whitaker warned yes
terday that. If the high courts
decisions are not obeyed. the
Nation will head toward chaos
and calamity"
In a speech at the S4th an
nual convention of the Ameri-
can Bar Association, he did not
mention Southern opposition to
anti-segregation decisions, or
any other specific, issue.
Doubtless, he said, the court
has made mistakes and will
make more in the future be-
cause judges are human beings.
But he raised the question as
to what agency would make
fewer mistakes.
Since the function of the
court Is to resolve great issues,
it is inevitable that it must
proceed in the midst Of ten
sions and it always has," he
said. "The very nture of its
duties fate it to be the target
Of almost continual criticism. /"
"Chaos and Calamity
He added:
= But it is Of the essence Of
orderly government that the
courts decisions be accepted
and obeyed. It would be idle
to tell q group of lawyers that
down the other road lies only
chaos and calamity"
The ABA's policy-making
body. the House Of Delegates,
yesterday indorsed Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy's
package of seven bills to COM
bat rackets and crime.
Some of the lawyers ex-
pressed fear that one Of the
bills goes too far but it was
approved nevertheless. This
would broaden the fugitive
felon act to enable the FBI to
arrest many more accused per-
sons who flee across State lines
to avoid prosecution under
State law. ~,
Saddling of FBI Seen
The present act makes it a
crime to run away to avoid
prosecution for major offenses,
such as murder, rape or kid
naping. The Kennedy admin
istration wants this broadened
to include any offense punish
able by a year or more in
prison.
Some critics have suggested
this would saddle the FBI with
a1resting q host of offenders,
such as husbands fleeing nom
support charges.

program, approving instead a
$184,000 program to provide
work training courses and
emergency grants to the un-
employed.
The District also has not
yet applied for new benefits
for foster home care and re-
search and training, Mr.. Cohen

Justice Shifts,

On Bus Signs
By the Associated Press

The Justice Department to-
day revised the proposed regu-

state Commerce Commission to
adopt to ban segregation in in
terstate bus transportation.
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy petitioned the ICC
last May 90 to issue the regu-
lations. Oral argument on the
petition is to begin August Is.
Major revisions were in the
language Of a sign it is proposed
that interstate buses be re-
quired to display and in a pro-
posed definition of terminal
facilities.
The department described
the changes as clarifying Ian

hours worked, it does share in
the rest of the relief payment.
For example, a man with q
wife and two children might
earn $50 a month in local
money in a work relief pro-
gram. The rest Of a 5000 re-
lief check would come from
matching Federal and local
money.
Mr.. Cohen, who addressed
the Conference Of State We'll
fare Finance Officers at the
Mayflower Hotel yesterday,
thus did not take issue with
one part of the controversial
program in Newburgh, N. Y,
which seeks to put all able
bodied relief recipients to work.
He did object to the Newburgh
position that training in social
work is not essential to a well
fare program.
Work relief programs help
recipients get experience, get
off the relief rolls, and create
a more favorable public image,
of relief recipients, Mr.. Cohen
said.
