Not As Much to Whistle At Europe's Outstanding Beauties Not as Attractive as American NEW YORK, 11 (UP) -Europe's most outstanding beauties don't give men as much to whistle at as American p)c-up girls a study of vitaYemimne figures showed today. The foreign beauties are taller, skinnier and not quite so bosomy as celebrated actresses such as Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Jane Russell. They are much more modest their charms, however. Officials of the ''Miss Umveise" contest, scheduled to begin in Long Beach, Thuisday, greeted Europe's entries here with scales and tape measures, and they took down all the vital statistics. The figures disclosed that one of the visiting Vtnuses, 18-year-old Effie "Miss Greece," is 5 feet 7 and weighs 110 pounds.

Actress Jane Russell is the same height, but the resemblance ends right there. Miss Russell weighs 25 pounds more, largely north of the equator, ard her bust measmement is 36 inches, as almost evciyone knows Willowy Miss Cneece declined to disclose what hers is Mona btornes, 19, vMiss Norway" and Regma Ernst, 18, "Miss Germany," came closest to Miss Monroe's height of 5 feet 5' They are only a half-inch shorter than Marilyn but consideiably slimmer. Miss Monroe veighs 118 pounds and has a 37-inch bust. Miss Germany weighs 110 ard measuies 34 at the bustlin" Hei Noiwegian competitor weighs tv. pounds more and measures one inch more at the bust.

Miss Grable the nMest of the lot at 37, is only 5 feet tall but weighs a solid 120 pounds. Her bust measuies 36 ma os Not one of the Fuiopean gnls is as shoit The only ones who weigh as much 01 moie are 5 foot 8 "Miss Belgium Chiisnne Barney, 19, legisteied pounds, and 18- year olct Maria Teresa Paliam, spaghetti-loving 'Miss Italy." She tipped the scal-s at 122 pounds.

"I just don't think I'll win," she said "Miss Sweden, 19-y a Ragnhild a (bu 34, height 5 feet 2 weight 112), put herself in the same class. "I think," she said, "that there are many, many more beautiful than I am in this contest."

Old Mike in Person The Baboon that does everything but talk every night in our playground from 6:00 to 7:15, LONDON, July 11 (UP) Science raugnt up with fiction anew today in a report on the mystery explosions of three ultra-modem British Comet jetliners which killed all persons aboaid.

experts said scientists had ed the biggest riddle of the jet age They decided the Comets blew up because 1 of tieir pressuijzed cabins got "tired" and gave way The report recalled a novel by Nevil Shute Norway, a distinguished aeronautical engineei, called "No Highway" written in 1948. It was based on the imaginary crash of an airlinei in Canada because of "metal fatigae." An i a i wing fell off. Now the scientists said they be- Irved Ue Comets fell victim of tremendous stresses built up when the pressure in the cabin was kept relatively normal while the 500- mile-an-hour luxury lineis soared into tne thin atomosphere high above the earth. The mystery why the Comets blew up while climbing on full power apparently was solved at the Farnborough experimental station There a Comet was dunked in a tank of water and pumpec- full of air. afterward, it exploded with 'violence that would have caused as much damage as a blockbuster bomb if the fuselage had not been water.

The boiling geyser of water in the big- tank last week signaled the end of one of the million-dollar planes, and apparently of the mystery blasts Britain's entue Comet fleet was grounBec in April after the third explosion. A Comet plunged into the Mediterranean off Italy, killing 21 persons aboard In January another ComeJ had disintegrated, also after taking off from Rome, killing 35. In May 1953, the first.

Mental Services Adequate, Health Group Says NEW YORK, July 11 (UP)--Mental hospitals and other mental nealth services in most states are "archaic inadequate and ill-fitted to the job the National Association for Mental Health said today. A report of a two year study called for "intensive, compiehen- sive reseaich into every phase of the problem of mental illness" and uiged more training facilities for psychiatric workeis. The report, based on field work in half the 48 states and data from ell of them, stressed that the effectiveness of mental health care is leflected in a state's administrative tetup The ideal system, the report said, is a "separate, coordinate department of mental health." Only 10 states have such departments' They nre New York, Massachusetts California, Maryland, Michigan Conned icut.

The report, made by Raymond G. a free lance specialist social research, on a grant from the National Institute of Mental Healbh.

said that while caie for mental patients has changed, "the administrative means and mechanisms for performing it have not changed correspondingly."

July 11 WV-One of the strangest--but most significant--chapters in American medical history began when a shotgun was accidentally discharged a trading post of the American Fur Co. on Mackinac Island in Michigan in June 1882 The blast hit a young French- Canadian fur-trapper, blowing off a large portion of his side, fracturing ribs, and making an opening into the cavities of the chest and abdomen big enough to admit man's fist. The victim, 19-year-old Alexis St. Martin, was given immediate treatment by Dr William Beaumont, an Army "surgeon's mate," and his life was saved.

But although Dr Beaumont made every effort to bring the flesh back together, the opening never healed. It left a tube-like passage into his body, making it necessary for him to uear a compress over the opening. Despite this "lid" on his stomach, St. Martin lived for 64 years-sometimes rambunctiously got married, fathered at least four children, and died at 83. For several of these years.

Dr. Beaumont used the opening as a. window" to study what was going on inside St Martin's stomach. He became the first researcher to study the process of digestion In 1 a livmg human This strange story will be commemorated Saturday with the opening of a shrine--replica of the stoie v-here St Martin was shot--to Di Beaumont on pictuesque Mac-tmac Island. Piior to Dr.

Beaumont studies doclois attributed digestion to such things as the warmth of the body or the mechanical action of the stomach wall Dr Beaumont established that the process is basically a chemical one I The things he found out lemain, i aftei moie than 100 yeais, the foundation for rjresent knowledge of the physiology of the stomach. Doctors sny Thar X-ray and all other scientific aids developed since 1822 have revealed little moie about the action of the stomach than Dr Beaumont learned with virtually no other eouipment han a thermometer, a few test tubes and his own keen eyes. St Maura's historic bellj wound paitially healed tl-e 10 months following his accident but he was helpless. He was regarded as a biuden on the small frontier community and town leadeis were resolved to send "him back to Canada But Di Beaumont knew this would be fatal He took him into his house and treated and sustained him for two yeais In the spring of 1825 he began systematic experiments on his some- rimes hot-tempered and rebellious patient. "He fed Alexis through the mouth and thiough the hole in his stomach writes Dr Otto 0 Beck of Birmingham, foimer president of the state medical society "He studied the digestion of almost every kind of food, cooked, uncooked, whole, chopped, seasoned and unseasoned.

"Alexis grew surly and Beaumont observed the effect of emotion on digestion. "Alexis often overindulged in alcoholic drinks and the docror checked the reactions." After the experiments were completed, St. Martin returned to Canada wheie he led an active life in the paush of Thomas de Johette. Dr. Beaumont published, the findings which brought him fame in both America and Europe.

St. Martin outlived the doctor who died in 1853. In his lat-er life he heatedly refused on many occasions to submit to further expeK- ments To foiestall any post-mortem examinations, his family buried him in a grave eight leet deep. Membeis of the U. S.
