DAILY PRESS TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1943 NO EXTRA GAS FOR VACATIONS Michigan Governor Still Hopeful Of Help For War Workers Lansing, May 17 (P)-Despite the ruling of Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown that the country has no extra gasoline for vacation travel, hope persisted here today that some arrangement might be worked out to the advantage of Michigan residents. Governor apprised of Brown's that extra gasondecision line for vacation trips for war workers would be "a luxury which we cannot afford in total war, promised to continue his efforts in the matter. The governor said he would confer with members of the delegation which went with him Washington recently with a petition for extra allowances to war workers as a morale support. It was this petition which Brown turned down today.

Kelly said he expected his forthcoming conference to determine whether there was "any phase of our petition which should be reconsidered." At the same time, however, the governor made it plain that Michigan would not press for extra rations. Pointing to Brown's assertion, that insufficient supplies as well, of the rubber governor said: there is not enough of these things, we don't want vacation travel. Michigan never has asked and does now ask for anything which would interfere with the war effort." Kelly said some plan might be worked out whereby two ore more persons could their gasoline allotments for extended trips.

(AP)- -Governor Kelly today ordered a broad inquiry into the entire subject of juvenile delinquency, declaring he would seek united effort by multiple agencies each of which has worked independently to solve this problem. The governor described officials of judicial, law enforcement and educational groups as "enthused" about his planned approach to the subject.

BY LEWIS HAWKINS London, May 17.

-Italy may be knocked from the war quickly through shrewd application of minimum force and maximum psychology, London observers speculated increasingly today. The slow advance of bombing raids toward Rome and RAF flights over the city were seen as logical steps to impress Mussolini and the Fascists what might happen. To show strength and to secure the Sicilian channel, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's overwhelming air, sea and land team in Tunisia might be used to storm Sicily, and then deliver an ultimatum to Mussolini to surrender the peninsula to peaceful occupation or have its cities--including Rome--knocked to pieces.

Such a plan is conditioned largeon the assumption that Germany is unable or unwilling to sacrifice heavily in men and planes to keep Italy in the war. There is yet no clear indication that Hitler is dropping his junior partner. It has long been known that no great numbers of German troops are in Italy but the Nazi air force still is operating there, although it was practically chased from the sky in the battle for Tunisia. Meanwhile, the Italian cabinet was reported by the Algiers radio to be still in session in a meeting which started Saturday and has interrupted only once and that briefly. A Rome broadcast, heard by Reuters, mentioned King Vittorio Emanuele 111 warmly, apparently in indirect answer to wholly unconfirmed rumors that he had abdicated.

U. S. "Well, there's one good thing ness--it takes your ARMED FORCES LOSE 80,000 Battle Casualties During 17 Months Of War Are Announced Washington, May 17. (AP)- -The armed forces of the United States have lost more than 80.000 men in battle casualties in 17 months of war. This total will be increased, probably by about 5,000, officers said today, as reports not yet compiled for the last four weeks of the Tunisian campaign add to the army's lists of killed, wounded and missing.

Since the war began, the navy has reported 23,955 casualties in the navy, marine corps and coast guard, 7,218 killed, 4 4,683 wounded, and 12,054 missing. Army casualties reported through May 7 total 076 killed, 12,277 wounded, 345 missing, 14,244 reported prisoners. Of the wounded. 4.000 have returned to duty or recovered sufficiently to be discharged from hospitals. These army totals included two lists made public today, containing the names of more than 1,000 soldiers wounded in the European, North African, middle eastern, Pacific and Southwest Pacific theaters.

Approximately 900 of these were in North Africa. Of the army's total of 14,244 prisoners and 24,345 missing, all but number were lost in the Philippines. More than 3,000 have been reported missing in North Africa, and most of these are presumably prisoners in Italy or Germany.

HOW IT HAPPENED Dorothy was born in Omaha, made her stage debut at 13 in the Omaha Community Playhouse opposite Henry Fonda in "A Kiss for Cinderella," and went to school at a convent in Indianapolis and at Pine Manor, Wellesley, Mass. After graduation she headed for New York and a stage career, but found only discouragement until she landed a small role in an unsuccessful play, Born." Then she understudied Martha Scott in "Our Town," and replaced the star when Martha was called to Hollywood for the film version.

Later she was one of John Barry. more's children in "My Dear Children," went back to understudy work for Julie Haydon in "The Time of Your Life" and then won stardom and a Hollywood contract as "Claudia." And it's as plain, unglamorous Claudia that Dorothy McGuire will win Hollywood stardom. She ain't got glamour. But, as David O. Selznick says, "She's a born actress."

James Hodges, commander of the Liberator wing which carried out the Bordeaux mission, said that "This is the Liberators have attacked in force" from England. The Rome radio, in a broadcast recorded here by Reuters, quoted reports from Paris that Bordeaux was without electricity, gas and water tonight as result of the raid. The Vichy radio said in a broadcast recorded by the Associated Press that 148 persons were killed and more 200 injured by the bombs which fell on Bordeaux. The fliers who gave Lorient and its U-boat pens the seventh American pounding of the war said they saw their bombs explode squarely on the target. The whole waterfront was pock-marked with bomb bursts, they said.

In some places as many as 100 to 150 Focke-Wulfs were reported hurled into the fight in a desperate attempt to ward off the attacks. Cincinnati Returns To First Division New York, May 17 (AP)- Ray Starr led the Cincinnati Reds back into the National league's first division today, by pitching and batting a victory over the New York Giants in the first installmetn of a three-game ries.

When the basis of the prejudice dislike for a food, it is sible to correct the prejudice by re-educating oneself for a food-a feat which can usually be plished in a very short time by associating the food with the sensation of satisfying the appetite.

It may be of interest to list and explode some of the food-myths current in our time: Common among them is the idea that it is bad practice to protein and carbohydrates during the same eat. meal. There is no basis in fact for this assumption. The vast majority of healthy people throughout the world eat the two together, and most foods contain both in single and inseparable form. FACTS ABOUT MEAT Another public nuisance is the notion that meat is bad for the kidneys and causes high blood pressure.

For normal persons this is untrue. Meat is harmful only when the kidneys are so damaged that they cannot excrete nitrogen products, and in I certain kidney disorders meat is prescribed in large amounts. The Eskimos live on large amounts of meat and fats and have fewer of these disorders than we do. Many people believe that fish and 1 ice cream eaten in the same meal are sure to bring on indigestion. From the point of view of the gourmet, such may be 111- advised, but there is no physiological basis for any incompatibility.

It has often been said, too, that water should not be taken during a meal, but since foods must be absorbed in liquid form, some water-solution during meals is needed. Great quantities of water cut down on the appetite, to be sure, but do not impede digestion. ROUGHAGE NOT NEEDED The matter of roughage in the diet has became almost holy canon. Rather than being necessary for good bowel function, rough food can cause severe irritation of the bowel and aggravate constipation. The amount of resinormal diet 1s usually sufficient for ordinary bowel function.

The recent passion for eating vitamins of all sorts in pill form is wholly unnecessary in the presence of a balanced, normal diet. People everywhere tend to exaggerate the therapeutic value of diet in the simplest disorders, such as colds and the acute contagious diseases of childhood. With these, the acute phase 1 is so short. the appetite 80 impaired, and the connection of food so remote that diet is of not the slightest importance. JOHN L.

"The war has turned public attention upon juvenile delinquency, because it has become a more pressing problem in these times. But we are approaching it with the thought of what can be done about it in peace time, too."

He conferred during the day with William R. Barber of Harrisville.

Nestle of Ithaca, the Michigan Sheriffs sociation; Allison Webb, of Cadillac, the Michigan Association of Probate Judges, and others.

In addition, he said, Dr. Eugene B.

Elliot, state superintendent of public instruction, agreed to write to the more than 700 school superintendents and 83 county school commissioners, and analyze their reports and recommendations on the subject. Thirty-four other organizations interested to varying degrees in child welfare will be asked for their reports, and the clergy will be asked to assist, too, he said. Kelly emphasized he would ask that all of the reports be kept confidential, until they can be assembled into a thoroughly analyzed omnibus document showing extent of the problem in each county, most common types of delinquency and age groups most affected: a study of local conditions contributing to or discouraging youth linquency, and efforts of local governments to solve the problem. A variety of other topics will be covered in the study, including the war's effect on delinquency; recommendations for attacking it; identification of local groups best equipped to help, and available leadership.
