PARENTS "GUARANIEE"
DECIDES SPELLING BEE

Miss Gloria Linda Parent, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Gloria Haymen Parent
and the late Raymond Parent, de-
feated Betty Kellogg to win first
place honors in a spelling bee which
was conducted at the. Manteo Ele-
mentary School Tuesday morning.
The seventh grade student over
came her eighth grade opponent
when she correctly spelled "g-u-a-
Ir-a-n-t-e-e" after both finalists had
perspired over some 80 words to
decide the winner.
Representatives from each grade
in the grammar school competed in
the bee, after first having prepared
themselves for the meet with book
of some three thousand, often
missed spelling stumblers. Miss
Parents performance has entitled
her to compete in the Tidewater
Area Semi-Finals which will be
held at the College of William and
Mary on May 5.
The contestants, included Belinda
Etheridge, Vonda Tillett, Jane
Feldmeier, Ann Midgette, Linda
Bibb and the two finalists.
If Gloria should do well in the
semi-finals, she will advance TO the
finals of the Tidewater Spelling
Championship, with IA other con-
testants, to compete in the Ledger
Star Championship Spelling Bee.
which will be televised over WAR
TV on May IL. The winner of that
event will represent this area in
the National Spelling Bee which
will be held during the month Of
June in Washington, d. G.
The Tidewater Area Semi Final
will differ from the local bee in that
the latter competition will consist
lof a written spelling examination
The top fifteen spoilers in that
event will then perform in the
Ledger-Star contest.
Mrs. Grace Hooper, Gloria's
teacher, says that her straight-A
student shows considerable promise
and is expected to @bone-up' on
\ the tricky ones before entering the
lcompetition at William and Mary
In fact, she "g-u-a-r-a-n-t-e-e"s it!

three other researchers told of
the latest findings on obesity
in a panel discussion and in
terview at the annual meeting
Iof the American Academy of
Pediatrics.
The general assumption has
been that an individuals
weight is determined by the
amount Of food intake and ac-
tivity-if more calories are
consumed than burned up in
the living process, the excess
Galleries turn into fat.
The basic premise still holds,
the researchers said, but
rather large differences exist
among some individuals on the
rate that food calories are
burned up.
One of the panelists, DR.,
Albert L. Standard, chairman
of the department of PSYCHE
airy, University Of Pennsyl-
vania, said a comparison Of so
overweight girls with other
girls of normal weight showed
the overweight girls ate less
and exercised as much as the
normal weight group.
"And I know adults who
literally have to eat like birds
to prevent a gain in their
weight" chimed in DR.. Head.

I CHICAGO, Oct. 81. Don't
assume that all fat people are
gluttons with no will power
Many of them eat less and
exercise more than trim in
dividuals.
A group of researchers con-
Quoting pioneer studies re-
ported yesterday there has been
a complete turnabout in
thinking and research" on the
causes of corpulence.
They said animal experiments
and recent human studies indi-
cate that metabolic differences
the manner in which the
body disposes of food calories
after they are eaten-can cause
some persons to gain but others
to lose weight on the same
amount of food consumption
and energy output.
Physicians could use this
evidence to eliminate the guilt
complex some overweight chill
dren have because their ac-
quaintances assume they are
gluttons without strong will"

lard Medical School and one Of
the panelists, said animal
studies have shown that obesity
can be produced in the labora-
tory in a variety Of ways,
Some mice apparently have
a genetic disposition to gain
more weight than others. Other
animals are compelled to eat
more if their brains have been
damaged by surgical instru-
ments or drugs. Animals which
take their daily caloric intake
at one feeding gain more than
others who spread the same
number of Galleries throughout
the day.
What percentage Of over
weight persons become that
way because of metabolic diff
ferences, and would it be dan
gerous for them to go on a
semi-starvation diet to lose
weight?
DR.. Head said studies de-
signed. to answer those ques-
tons are slated for the future:

Ed Sullivan, Preminger
See No TeIevision Bias

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 (AP).-
Ed Sullivan and Otto Preminger
joined representatives Of the
three broadcasting networks
yesterday in testifying that
there is no intentional diScrimi-
nation against Negroes in tele-
vision.
The testimony was before
Representative Adam Clayton
Powell, Democrat of New York,
a Negro, sitting as chairman
of the House Committee on
Labor and Education.
Mr.. Sullivan testified he had
found Negroes great perform
ers," used them regularly on
his Sunday variety show and
found they presented mo major
problem at any time" in the
form of pressure from a spon-
sor or from any region of the
country.
He credited Negro actors with
thwarting what he said was
a Communist drive to take over
the American Federation of
Television and Radio Artists,
AFL-CIO, a dozen years ago
and urged that producers of
televiSion should go out of their
way" to hire Negro performers.
Sees ThOughtIessness
Mr.. Sullivan suggested that
"often it is thoughtlessness'
rather than anything else that
leds to casting only white per-
formers.

Zone Changes
BY TERRY KLINE
Star Staff Writer

The Alexandria Planning
Commission last night tenta-
lively approved coming changes
in line with the city's General
lied Land Use Plan.
The commission has been
studying coming throughout the
city in preparation for the first
revision of the master coming
map since 1854. Some of the
decisions reached last night are
likely to meet heavy opposition
at a public hearing scheduled
for January 20.
The commissions final recon-
mendations will be presented
to the City Council in February.
The informal recommended
lions of the commission were
primarily concerned with lower
King street, a five-block area
near the jefferson School on
Cameron street and about 10
blocks north of South Columbus
street.
The commission decided to
recommend rezoning for COM
mercial use of both sides of
King street between Fairfax
street and the waterfront. The
area is now primarily industrial
with such establishments as
storage garages and a bottling
works.
The rezoning will permit the
operation of speciality shops and
small offices to enhance the
nearby central business dis
trict, the commission said. The
change would also halt the
spread of warehouses along the
city's waterfront.
Another recommended recon-
ing, covering an area roughly
bounded by Prince, West and
Cameron streets and danger
field road, would permit the
construction of high-rise apart
ments to support a proposed
expansion of the business dis
trict.
Much of the area is already
zoned for residential use but is
limited to the construction of
less than so units to the acre.
Other parts are now zoned
commercial.
In another semi-residential
area, northeast of the Robert
E. Lee School, a suggested re-
coming would permit densely
populated apartment develop
mentS to provide a second built
in market for the business
district.
