Leverton, professor of nutrition research at the Univer-sity of Nebraska, proved in a re-search project recently. "Omitting bread in a reducing diet is unnnecessary and leads to in-creased cost of the diet," Dr. Lever-to- n said. "No aspect of food and nutrition is subject to more abuse, fad, and misinformation than the low calorie diet necessary for weight loss." Dr. Leverton explained that no single food is fattening, but that it Is the total number of calories eaten that determines whether a person gains or loses weight. The baking industry, led by the American Bakers Association, is planning a nationwide observance, in 1951, of the tenth anniversary of bread enrichment, focusing atten-tion on the resulting improvement in the nation's health. Bread "en-richment" means the addition to the bread of certain essential vitamins and minerals. This appetizing, ie dinner featuring a pork chop, browned apple rings, enriched white bread and butter, and fresh strawberries, was one of the meals served to dieters In a scientific study. Twelve girls lost a total of 227 pounds In 8 weeks of the diet. In the scientific study at the Uni-versity of Nebraska, 12 overweight young women followed a daily diet, which included en-riched white bread and butter at each meal. The 12 girls who took part in the study were between 18 and 25 years of age, and were from 20 to 83 pounds overweight. At the end of the eight weeks, the girls lost a total of 227 pounds, or the equivalent of two whole girls. Aver-age loss was 2Vz pounds per girl per week. The girls remained in excellent health. Enriched white bread was selected for each meal because it is nutriti-ous, appetizing, low in cost, and readily available, according to the report. Cost of the diet averaged 68 cents a day. It regularly included meat, milk, fruits and vegetables, as well as bread. An important share of the iron, and protein was provided daily by en-riched white bread. IN SELECTING the diet, meals for three days were planned, and this three-da- y pattern was repeated throughout the study. Foods were chosen that were liked by the girls and would be popular over an period. In general, thick gravies and sauces, concentrated sweets and calorie-packe- d desserts were omitted. The girls lived in one of the Uni-versity's residence halls during the study so that their meals could be prepared, weighed, and served by trained nutritionists. Because the only way to take off weight is to reduce food intake, foods included in a reducing diet must supply all of the essential nutrients needed by the body. The diet planned in the study supplied the food values recommended by the national research council, with the exception of calories. Here are the menus for one of the days of the planned low-co- diet: BREAKFAST: cup of grape-fruit or orange juice, 1 slice of en-riched white bread, teaspoon of butter or margarine, 1 medium egg cooked in the shell or poached, and 1 cup of skim milk. LUNCH: 2 slices of enriched bread, teaspoon of butter or margarine, 1 medium carrot, 1 medium orange, and 1 cup of skim milk. DINNER: 1 pork chop y lb. with fat removed), 1 small apple, 1 cup of raw vegetable salad, 1 slice of enriched white bread, teaspoon of butter or margarine, 1 cup of skim milk, and cup of fresh strawberries. In place of strawber-ries, the following may be served: 1 medium fresh pear or peach, Vi medium cantaloupe, 2 ounces of an-gel food cake, 1 piece of canned fruit such as pear, peach, or pine-apple slice, but no sweetened juice. WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS , A State of National Emergency Is Proclaimed by President Truman; Russia Threatens Western Europe UNITED NATIONS: Political Stalemate Although there was much less tension in the capitals of the world, diplomats at the United Nations continued to work feverishly in an attempt to head off a world-wid- e conflict. No workable solution for stopping the Korean war had been found, however, and the organiza-tion seemed locked in a political stalemate. Russia declared that all foreign troops, including Chinese Commu-nists "volunteers," should be with-drawn from Korea, but voted against a cease-fir- e proposal which the United Nations political com-mittee approved by a vote of 51 to 5. Russia's delegates harked again and again to the argument that the cease-fir- e formula was aimed at "saving the skins" of western troops at providing a "breathing spell" during which Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces could "reform their ranks" in preparation for a new attack. The general assembly went ahead with its cease-fir- e plan by naming a three-ma- n committee to seek the truce. Most observers believed they would not succeed.

Marines ACHESON: Ouster Demanded Secretary of State Dean Acheson flew to Brussels for a meeting with representatives of the Atlantic pact nations amid renewed pressure on the home front that he be fired from the state department. The latest move for his ouster was made by senate and house Republicans. There was no White House comment on the Republican resolution. Administration officials, however, reported President Truman was "absolutely determined" to stand by Acheson for the reason that he has served him exceptionally well. Some quarters reported the Pres-ident considered the attack on Acheson to be an attack on the administration's foreign policy. Acheson was reported to have said he would not resign and that he was making the Brussels trip because he felt the European peo-ples needed to be reassured that the United States is determined to help build up their defenses. Some political observers express-ed the opinion that the Republican demand for Acheson's ouster was timed badly. It was pointed out that lack of unified political sup-port for Acheson in congress might embarrass him in relations with Atlantic pact foreign ministers. RAIL TIE-U- P: Walkout Called Off Under pressure from President Truman, the federal courts and their own union officials, more than 10,000 striking rail yard work-ers ended their crippling three-da- y strike that caused one of the greatest freight stackups in the nation's history. The strike ended without any wage settlement, although repre-sentatives of the railroads and four rail unions got together for joint bargaining talks at the White House. The strike had caused mountain-ous stacks of Christmas packages to be bottled up in post offices and stranded in freight cars. War ship-ments had been halted in transit. Some railroads had curtailed pas-senger train schedules. The union had demanded a week at pay they received for 48 hours the same benefits which were awarded previously to one million nonoperating workers. A presidential g board recommended a week, but at pay boost of only 18 cents. The union's demands amounted to 31 cents. Contest EMERGENCY: Near-Wa- r Footing With a series of proclamations and executive orders, President Truman put the nation on a near-wa- r footing. In a world-wid- e radio address the President proclaimed a national emergency and told the American people they must pay higher taxes, work longer hours, and give up many civilian goods to speed up the defense program. "Our home, our nation, all the things we believe in, are in great danger," the President said in his address. "The future of civilization de-pends on what we do on what we do now and in the months ahead." He announced the administration would impose some wage-pric- e controls and bring 3,500,000 men under arms "as soon as possible." Then he outlined the buckling-dow- n program: 1. Compulsory price ceilings "at once" on some items essential to defense production and the cost of living. 2. Voluntary ceilings over rest of the economy of publishing "fair standards of prices and wages." 3. To provide the necessary ma-terials for defense production, a "cut back on many lines of civilian production" and expanded output of steel, copper, aluminum, elec-tric power, and agricultural com-modities. 4. Workers to labor more hours. 5. Still further taxes. 6. Federal spending for purposes slashed "to the minimum" in the fiscal 1952 budget. Within hours after the declar-ation of a national emergency, the President created the Office of Defense Mobilization by executive order. The new office was given unprecedented power with full authority over civilian agencies already at work building United States war strength. Truman named Charles E. Wilson to head the agency. Wilson was president of General Electric. Also within hours after the Presi-dent's proclamation, the Economic Stabilization Agency froze the price of new automobiles at the level of December 1, 1950. The action rolled back price increases averaging five per cent announced by Ford, Chrysler, General Motors, and Nash, on the 1951 models. The automobile industry protested the price roll-bac- k and stopped the sale of some makes. Observers did not believe the protest would carry much weight in Washington. Most observers believed the President had set the stage for further drastic curbs. There is no doubt but that a speed-u- p in re-armament to suit the quickening tempo of the Kremlin time-tabl- e will cause economic injuries. Some people are going to lose jobs. Some business men are going to lose money. And all Americans are go-ing to find life a lot tougher. Some observers believed it may be necessary to cut back civilian production as much as 30 to 50 per cent before war production can go into high gear. The first truckloads of U. S. 1st marine division are shown above as they rolled into the area near Hamhung after their battle to free themselves from the death trap set by Chinese and North Korean Communists near the Changjin reservoir. EUROPE: Reds Threaten The Soviet Union did not say ex-actly what it would do, but in notes to Great Britain and France warned that the rearmament of Germany would not be tolerated. The threat brought a new feeling of crisis to western Europe. The Kremlin sent notes to Britain and France which asserted: 1. Arming of Germans by At-lantic allies would violate the Pots-dam pact of 1945. 2. Western Germany's inclusion in the Atlantic pact setup would invalidate Russia's alliance trea-ties with Britain and France. A number of observers were ask-ing if the Soviet warning wasn't the kind Red China made and later fulfilled as United Nations forces crossed the 38th parallel in Korea. Others, however, do not think the Communists are ready for all-o- war. The note is having its effect on western Europe and may slow down the execution of defense plans. London described the Soviet note as a "patently tactical device" timed to coincide with the Brussels meeting. MARSHALL: Opposes Full Mobilization Defense Secretary Marshall Is reported opposed to full mobiliza-tion now because there is still "a hope" that World War III may be averted. Marshall's careful appraisal of the powder-ke- g world situation was 4.L? ,fr given to a house appropriations subcommittee at a secret hearing. However, Marshall said he also believes that the United States must build up its armed forces to footing as swiftly as possible because "a single word" from the Kremlin could start the holocaust at any time. The defense secretary did not say exactly how far he believed U. S. mobilization should go. But he said the present goal of 2,771,000 men under arms by next July 1 must be increased substantially.

CHURCHILL: No Foolish Promises Former Prime Minister Winston Churchill warned the western powers against the argument "that we must never use the atomic bomb until and unless it is used against us first." "The argument is now put for-ward that we must never use the atomic bomb until and unless it is used against us first," Churchill said. "In other words, you must never fire until you are shot dead." ,ssk .ss: fmtmi k S.'.-BW"- " Eilpl !v sl0th Garment 29. Therefore ESSft 30.Anaerial- - i 8. Quiet 33. Fresh HIIoV-rX- T - 14 Newt 11.

No one else could have played it as well. Judy's show busi-ness career began as switchboard v - -' 4 JUDY HOLLIDAY operator for Orson Welles' Mer-cury Theatre, then came a stint with a group that sang satirical songs. A small role in "Kiss Them for Me" won her the Clarence Der-we-award. Then came "Born Yes-terday," her third picture and big-gest success. Spencer Tracy Is delighted with his role in "Plymouth Ad-venture," that of captain of the Mayflower. The picture will ex-plode the popular belief that all its passengers were a dull lot; some were Pilgrims, some Pur-itans. Helen Deutsch, author of so many successful pictures (her latest is "King Solomon's Mines"), has proved to MGM executives that she knows what will succeed on the screen; of 30 scripts she turned down, only one was made, and it shouldn't have been. She is thrilled over her next, "Plymouth Adven-ture," with Spencer Tracy star-ring. Blonde and brown-eye- pret-ty enough to be a movie star her-self, Miss Deutsch likes to do his-torical pictures, insisting that every detail be absolutely correct. j on S-- WAIT YOUR TURN : CORNER By Ona Freeman Lathrop to to BESS WILKINS wondered if she was going to be able to stand another twenty or thirty years of Henry's s t u b- - bornness and -- Minute impatience! , 3 Fiction 7ZdeVl getting so cranky in his old age, I wonder if I'm going to be able to live out my life with him," she told her marTied daughter, Alice. "Why, Mother, how you talk!" Alice looked shocked. "Well, he actually embarrasses me in restaurants and public places if we aren't the first to be waited on. And today he wouldn't even bank his money from that last real estate deal just because there was a line ahead of him." "Just don't pay any attention to him," Alice advised . "You proba-bly aggravate him more when you argue with him. Maybe he isn't well?" "There's nothing the matter with him that a good hard jolt wouldn't cure, and I'm going to think up a way to jolt him out of his cussed-ness,- " Bess announced. But she hadn't yet thought up the jolt when she and Henry were driving out for groceries that eve-ning. "Got to have some gas In the car before we can go to town," Henry announced, a scowl cluttering up his face. "Henry, I'll need some money," she informed him as they drove along. "Well, here, take my wallet and get out a Silently she counted the bills. No sense in Henry carrying that much money on him. She helped herself and replaced the wallet. Henry pulled into the neigh-borhood n. No one came out. He honked the horn. Alice advised her mother not to pay any attention to him, "Maybe he Isn't well," she su-ggested. Then he honked again, not once u but twice, 'and then again long blast. Bess couldn't contain herself any longer, much as she had determined not to argue ( with him. P "Now Henry, don't be so imp: tient," she said meekly. tl "Well, for the love of Mike! Vhe: a man wants service, he wants : quick." He gave the horn anotk' k fierce blast.

M BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Widow Curses Legacy That Kills Faith of a Lifetime By BILLY ROSE Whenever an says, "What have you got in New York that we haven't got in Punxsutawney?" I throw a copy of the Manhattan Classified Phone Directory at him. On page 1067 listed under "Missing Heirs," is a man named Theodore W. Roth 'whose business it is to find money. I first heard of this gent on a radio program and this morning, in a mood to muse and meander, I stopped in to see him at his office on West 42nd Street. "Glad tn see von." said Mr. Rnth. 1 - "You don't happen to be related to a Sam Bramson of Paterson, do you?" "Not that I know of," I said. "Too bad," said Mr. Roth. "Bram-son left a hundred thousand dollars and I'm trying to find a relative I can give it to." "Is there much unclaimed money lying around?" "About eight bil-lion dollars," said Mr. Roth, "mostly In forgotten bank accounts. stock going to all that trouble she wanted me to check and make sure her claim to the estate would be clear and undisputed. I, of course, turned the letter over to the police." DO YOU HAVE any trouble col-lecting your fees?" I asked. "As a rule," said the climber of family trees, "the heirs I turn up are pretty grateful. There have been cases, of course, where the only thanks I got was a dirty look." "As for instance?" "Well." said Mr. Roth, "there was the time a widow refused to believe me when I told her I had located a bank account left by her husband. I finally convinced her to sign the necessary papers, but when I handed her the twelve thousand, she said, 'I curse the day I ever met you and I curse this money too.' "It turned out she had always loved her husband and was devoted to his memory, despite the fact that their life together had been a hard one. He had always pleaded pover-ty when she needed a dress or a new pair of stockings, and she had believed him. Now that she saw him for what he was, she was under-standably bitter. "Sure, twelve thousand dollars was a lot of money, but it had de-stroyed the faith of a lifetime " six of them have been thrown into jail, a couple have committed sui-cide, and several lawyers have been disbarred for phonying up evidence. One of the applicants was Adolph Hitler who argued that the next of kin was a German citizen and that the money should be sent to the Fatherland. I'm happy to. report he didn't get a dime." "You must meet a lot of screw-balls in your profession," I said. Mr. Roth dug into his desk and brought out a letter. It was from a woman in Massachusetts who claimed that one of her ances-tors had deeded a cranberry bog to an Indian squaw, but that the deed was faulty and she wanted the property back. The bog, she explained, is now known as Man-hattan Island. "Last year," Mr. Roth went on, "I got one that was even wackier! A girl in Texas wrote in to say that only a second cousin stood between her and a chunk of oil land worth a million dollars. She was planning to murder her kinsman, but before held in escrow, un- - Billy Rose collected insurance policies and in-heritances nobody has claimed." "WHAT'S THE biggest case you ever worked on?" I asked. "The Garrett case in Philadel-phia," said Mr. Roth. "Back in 1930 a lady named Henrietta Edwina Garrett died and left property worth f?rty million dollars. So far over six tVmsand people have claimed it, WAR FUNDS House Approves Huge Defense Measure The house approved and sent to the senate a "first installment" de-fense appropriation amounting to $17,809,304,424. The Senate was ex-pected to act on the bill within a ' matter of days. The huge appropriation included $16,845,181,000 for the army, navy and air force exactly what Presi-dent Truman asked. The atomic energy commission got $840 million to augment its fast expanding and program. Meanwhile, the "second install-ment" on the gigantic prepared-ness program was rapidly taking shape. President Truman sent to congress a new request for $1,834,-911,00- 0 to add d mater-ials to the nation's stockpile. The house began study of the bill imme-diately.
