Cosmic Ray Expedition
Sets Up Camp Atop 14,006
Foot Mount Wrangell
U. OF ALASKA, College, Alas
ka— New York University last
week released the following state
ment by Dr. Serge Korff, profes
sor of physics at New York Uni
versity, under date June 20th,
from Copper Center, Alaska:
“The New York University
University of Alaska Cosmic Ray
Expedition to Mount Wrangell,
Alaska, has today successfully
completed the second phase of its
work. A party of five is now es
tablished in tents on the summit
at an altitude of 14,006 feet.
“Today the important proof of
the practicability of the project
was furnished when a Piper Super
Cub, the personal airplane piloted
by Dr. Terris Moore, president of
the University of Alaska on vaca
tion, landed on the summit and
took off loaded. The passenger
was Dr. Serge A. Korff, professor
of physics at New York University
and vice president of the Explor
ers Club.
This flight demonstrated the
possibilty of taking the ship off
at this altitdue with a passenger
and load aboard. The day preced
ing this flight Dr. Moore had
landed a load of cargo on the
summit and had taken off empty.
“As far as is known, the present
party is the second party to reach
the summit, the first ascent hav
ing been made in 1908. A new
record for loaded takeoffs of light
private planes is also established.”
FIVE TRAGIC DEATHS
IN ANCHORAGE AREA
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Five per
sons have died tragically in the
Anchorage area recently, with
one man giving his life in a futile
attempt to save another.
Pfc. Albert O. Bracht, 26, of
Newark, N.J., died when he de
scended into a well at Spenard
Thursday night to try to bring out
Arthur L. Roop, 33, who had been
overcome by gas from a well
digging machine. Both were dead
when their bodies were recovered.
Alan R. McDaniel, 18, Anchor
age, a student at the University
of Alaska, drowned in Sand Lake
south of Anchorage Thursday.
Another serviceman drowned a
few hours earlier in a small lake
near Eureka, about 150 miles from
Anchorage. Military officials, who
said his death was due to a heart
condition, withheld his name
pending notification of next of
kin.
Herbert Clayton Sansbury, 26,
a dock foreman, was electrocuted
Friday when a crane boom hit a
high voltage power line. He came
here from Valdez a year ago and
his widow and three children sur
vive.
Bulging Waist Line Dangerous
Male America is steadily losing
ground in the battle of the bulge.
Statistics presented recently by
a leading nutrition authority show
that, while Americans line up
pretty well with other countries in
the overall life expectancy table,
when it comes to life expectancy
at age 40, we are almost at the
bottom of the list in 16 nations.
And the fault lies primarily in
the bulging waist line. Obesity is
Dr. Norman Jolliffe
one of the chief reasons for the
excess mortality rate among
American men age 40-65.
Any man over 40 who is 15% or
more overweight is inviting a call
from the grim reaper, according
to Dr. Norman Jolliffe, director of
Bureau of Nutrition, City of New
York Department of Health.
Dr. Jolliffe is the author of a
book “Reduce and Stay Reduced”
which goes thoroughly into the
matter of maintaining health
while losing weight. A feature of
the book which interests readers is
the fact that bread is included in
each of the daily reducing diets.
Emphasis in the book is on san
ity in dieting—maintaining good
health while losing weight, by a
well-balanced diet which includes
all the protective foods, including
bread.
Using doctors as one example of
the poor showing of America’s
middle aged males, Dr. Jolliffe
pointed out that an American doc
tor at age 40 has five and one half
years less expectancy than the
English doctor of 40. Only 17% of
America’s 40-yeiT old doctors but
27% of the English 40-year old
doctors can expect to reach 80.
“In no other country in the
world today do you find a higher
incidence of obesity among males
as in this country,” Dr. Jolliffe
said. “You may ask why the high
mortality is true of American men
and not American women. The
probable answer is that women
are a biologically superior sex.
They withstand operations and
many diseases better than men.
And they stand overweight better
than men.”
The problem lies in the fact of
over-eating, in the majority of
cases. Stuffing at mealtime and not
enough physical exertion may be
charged with some of the respon
sibility for overweight, many au
thorities say.
Dr. Joliffe emphasizes that the
old idea that bread is fattening is
a complete myth. No one food is v
fattening, he says. It is an exces
sive consumption of all foods
which brings about obesity.
He pointed out that an average
slice of bread contains 65 calories,
much less than normal servings
of many other fodds. And the
average cocktail runs from 125
to 150 calories so the person who
has three cocktails before dinner
is really stocking up with calories.
The importance of dieting sane
ly, by including some of all foods
in the daily diet, but reducing total 4
calorie intake, has been stressed
by many leading authorities. The
danger in dieting lies in the tend
ency to eliminate completely some
foods, foods which are needed .vi
tally for their protective elements
if health is to be maintained.
Enriched bread, for example,
provides certain essential B vita
mins and iron, plus calcium, pro
tein and other elements.
In Dr. Jolliffe’s book on dieting,
bread is included even in the low
est calorie diet of 600 per day.
Northwest Airlines Plans
Commercial Air Service
Anchorage to Tokyo
WASHINGTON, UP)—A North
west Airlines vice president Sat
urday outlined company plans for
non-stop commercial air service

Frank C. Judd, Northwest vice
president of operations, told Civil

Super Constellations on which the
