CocktoH Hour Backed
If Food Is Consumed
SAN FRANCISCO. d

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IS
(AP). - The cocktail hour in
these tense years can help man
not to escape from reality but
to live with it, argues DR.. Geor-
gio Lolh, q veteran researcher
in alcohol problems.
The cocktail hour has dangers,
but these can be circumvented
by understanding and control
ling alcohol's effects by the
simple remedy of eating while
drinking. said DIR. Lolli.
The idea that alcoholic bever-
ages can help in living real
istically is neither fantasy nor
wishful thinking. he said yes
terday at the Symposium on
Alcohol and Civilization at the
University Of California School
Of Medicine.
The symposium, part of a
program designed to provide
continuing education for physi-
clans and other health workers,
is financed in part by a $25,-
900 grant from the Wine Ad-
visory Board, an industry-fi-
nanced State agency.
Heads World Center
DR.. Lolli, former medical di-
rector of the Yale Plan Clinic
for Alcoholism, now is presi-
dent of the International Gen.
ter for PSycho-dieteticS of
Rome and New York.
He said the benefits of the
cocktail hour are relaxation,
socialization and a respite from
the business day.
1t is a time of shifting gears
between coping with the large
society outside the family and
dealing with the small society
of the family circle, DR.. Lolli
said.
In the large society almost
everyone-executive, teacher,
bus driver and the housewife,
too-must spend eight hours
a day struggling with prob
lens and vexations of the
working world.
DR.. Lolli said the cocktail
hour should be a relaxing rest
break, a let-down into inef-
ficiency. just as sleep is essen
tial for maintaining efficient
performance by mind and
body.
The cocktail hours dangers
are created by what DR.. Lolli
called modern living's dietary
heresies-a hasty breakfast. an
irrational lunch preceded by
Evening star., 1961-11-13

rather than eaten with-a
drink. and an diversified late
dinner.
Eating Emphasized
During the cocktail hour it
self. food should be presented
and it should be consumed,
whether it be pretzels. crackers
and cheese or hors d'ouevres, "
DIR. Lolli said. "Our research
indicates high incidence of un-
usually low blood sugar values
in many uniformed eaters who
turn into uniformed drinkers
in the late afternoon.
"The effects of alcohol are
more pronounced, more sudden
and more hazardous when
blood sugar values are low" he
said.
DR.. Lolli said it was a mistake
to enter the cocktail hour in a
state of fatigue and starvation.
A specific starvation for sugar
leaves the central nervous sys-
tenn with little protection
against alcohols toxic effect.
Given an adequate breakfast
and an adequate lunch, the
cocktail hour can be approached
with less fatigue, less anxiety
and less need for seeking a
quick lift by drinking too much
too fast.

Decision
By the A..ociated Press

Senator Humphrey. Demo-

civil defense experts should de-
termine whether fallout shelters
are needed or desirable. II they
are necessary. he said, they
should be built through public
programs rather than left to
individuals.
Senator Humphrey, who re-

on three-week swing through

ment he was a little impatient
with all the excitement in the

shelters"
The people in Europe. he said,
are not much interested in such
shelters. He said they talk
about and work toward obtain
ing new factories.
IF fallout shelters are
needed" he said, they should
be erected through public pro-
grams and not be left to the
individual homeowner.
II am not critical of individ-
ual homeowners who wish to
build their own shelters. I do
emphasize, however. that fall
out shelters should be con-
sidered within the context of
our Nations overall defenseS
and security programs.
I'm our defense programs, we
establish armies, build ships and
establish airfields. We do not

Let me emphasize again that

yourself is an understanding of

then having the equipment to

You need water. Your shell

five gallons of bottled water
per person using the shelter
Plan a 14-day supply. go easy
on the water at the outset.
Some bottled water could be
left just outside the entrance
of a cramped shelter, but with
in easy reach. Cover it with
paper or plastic film, which
would hold off any fallout dust
settling down - then flip off
the paper or film. and bring
the water inside, X-rays from
the fallout wflf not harm the
water on iota, nor make IT
radioactive and the same thing
holds for food too. You must
not eat the dust itself but the
radiatio ndoesn't hurt the food.
Wash the food or open a can
and 1t will be safe. If you run
out of water. tap water still IS
safe If your supply comes from
deep wells. But il your town
or city depends on open reser-
voirs, the water could be con-
taminated by dust.
If doubtful whether water
from water mains is safe to
drink, draw drinking water
from the hot water heater
That water had filled the tank
before the bombing and so be-
fore any fallout could have en-
tered the water mains from
reservoirs or any other way.
Sanitary Facilities
Do you have blankets, sleep
ing bags, if not room for cots
or hunks? Extra blankets for
cold weather? Games and toys
for children? Again, sleeping
pills could help combat bore
dom.
You need toilet or sanitary
facilities. A chemical toilet is
best If. your shelter is large
enough. Otherwise, use recep-
tacles which can be covered
Prepared plastic bags which

D. 6. Ponders Solution
To New Roads Traffic

District officials are not so
sure they want a new interstate
road alongside Shirley highway
until somebody provides a way
to get the additional traffic
across the Potomac River.
A hearing is to be held Tues
day by the House Public Works
Committee on a bill introduced
by Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican Of Virginia.
The bill would do two things: !:
1t would provide for WIDEN
ing Shirley highway, with 95
per cent Of the cost borne by
the Federal Bureau Of Public
Roads and the remainder by
Virginia. Virginia would then
take over upkeep of the high
way.
1t would provide also that a
corridor parallelling Shirley be
designated for construction of
an entirely new interstate
highway.
Virginia officials have long
felt that widening OF Shirley
would not meet all the traffic
needs for the area. An addi-
tional IL lanes eventually would
be required, they say.

Among other resolutions
passed by the convention were
ones urging: Z
Elimination of racial diScrim-

racial commissions in the To-
calitieS to work on the problem.
A requirement that each voter
sign a card at the polling place
which would be matched
against his registration sigma
ture to eliminate possible fraud
ulent voting.
Repeal Of a law passed by
the 1861 legislature placing the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles

ton for college tuition pay
mentS.
Home rule for the counties

District officials cite, however,
that construction Of a wider
Shirley highway-which, they
emphasize, they do not oppose
and construction of a new
eight-lane highway would cause
too much congestion at the Po-
tomac River.
The Virginia road planners
want the new highway to run
from the river to Woodbridge.
District highway planners are
not certain yet how the addi-
tional traffic resulting once the
new highway is built, should
be handled for the river cross
ing.
We're not particularly ad-
vocating another bridge" one
official pointed out. But we
do oppose that part Of the bill
until a solution is worked out
on how to bring the new high
way traffic into the city,"
One suggestion was made to
bring the new highway as far
up as the Capital beltway and
let traffic be distributed along
the beltway to bridges now
existing and under construction.

District Weighs Lifting
Bon on Cab Deliveries

Moves to give Washington
hackers the legal right to haul
such articles as packages, let
ters and pictures are under
study by city officials.
The Public Utilities Com
mission is considering ways of
easing the impact of its recent
ruling that cab drivers are L.
censed to transport passengers
only.
The Hackers Association of
Washington, meanwhile, has
asked the District Commits
sionerS to erase the delivery
ban.
Last month, the PUG. chair
man, George E. C. Hayes, re-
ported that under the city's
licensing laws it is illegal for
a hacker to hire out for any
thing other than a passenger
run. The regulations permit a
taxi to carry luggage that is
a necessary incident" to a
passenger run, the notice to
police officials said.
The Police Department had
asked for a ruling on the mat
ter as the result of complaints
Evening star., 1961-05-14

by persons who had failed to
flag down cabs that were on
delivery runs.
Yesterday, Harold A. Kertz,
a P. U. C. member, said a
major question to be decided
is where to draw the line on
allowable delivery items for
cabs.
In the petition to the Dis
trict Commissioners, Henry G..
Bartsch, executive secretary of
the hackers group, asked that
the delivery ban be lifted
through amendment to the
city's licensing laws.
This move would be in the
public interest, Mr.. Bartsch
said. because there is no COM
parable round-the-clock trans
portation available here.
Engineer Commissioner
Frederick J. Clarke, who also
serves as the third member of
the utilities commission, said
he is sympathetic to requests
to ease the delivery restriction.
