Dr.

Henry H. Turner, clinical professor of medicine at the University of Oklahoma, said today. He told 170 physicians attending a post graduate endocrinology assembly that in the majority of cases glandular treatment, the use of drugs and exercise have little effect on obesity. "The best exercise for reducing," Dr. Turner said, "is to push yourself away from the dinner table when you feel you are.

Deviation from the normal in body weight usually is due to genetic or sometimes to phychic causes, he said.

Mother Tells Of Last Days Of Small Son NEW YORK. April 6.

(JP) With a mother's quick fright, she knew something was wrong. Her small son walked unsteadily" and then fell down. Mrs. James A. McAleer took him to doctors but thev couldn't find the trouble.

That was a year and a half ago. By last September they knew, though. It was cancer of the brain incurable, final. Jeffrey was three years old. The neighbors used to think it was" hard naving him at home." said the 29-year-old Mrs.

McAleer. "But it wasn't." Her glance rested on his toy milk truck and train where he left them on the floor when they took him to the hospital three weeks ago. "He was such a pleasure to be with," Mrs. McAleer went on, brushing her eyes with a hand. After he was gone she remembered calling her other four young children together.

"I told them the doctors couldn't make Jeff better," she "that he was going to God's house and that God's mother had a new bicycle for him." The doctors don't give little Jeff long week or two, maybe. Not longer than a month. "Even when he was a little baby, he was so good and bright," his mother whispered today. "Even when he could hardly move, he was cheerful. "He always had a twinkle in his eye.

Nurse Shortage Talked at Meet ST. PETERSBURG, April 6. UP) The southern hospital conference talked todav about ways to get more nurses for hospitals, but came up with no sure-fire answer. Dr. William O.

Behman. admin- istrator of the Norwegian-American 1 hospital at Chicago, said ali hos- pitals should have nurse recruiting campaigns even though they do not have nurse training schools. Hospitals without training programs should arrange for nursing scholarships at hospitals which have them. Bohman said the only surplus of nurses in the nation is in the ranks of graduate nurses who have with-, drawn from theprofession. He recited figures to show that in 1949 about 40 per cent of all reg- istered nurses in the country were on the inactive list.

Miss Ellynee Vreeland of the U.S. I public health service, supported I Bohman's remarks but said there i also is a need to provide more well-trained practical nurses.
