weight resting on the balls of the
I feet

pointed straight ahead
3 Walk with the weight on the
outside of the foot
Dr Burgio urges mpthers to be
gin training children to stand and
w'alk properly at the earliest pos
sible age Buu habits are difficult
to break in latei years As foi care
of the feet, the rules are simple
enough foi any person to follow

them thoroughly

Military Use of
Public Lands
Being Investigated
WASHINGTON, UP—'The House
Interior Committee Saturday end
ed the first phase of its investiga
tion of military use on public
lands with the Navy and Air Force
insisting that large areas are need
ed to test new weapons.
George S. Robinson, special as
sistant to the Air Force secretary,
said the Air Force is now using
12,021,785 acres of public domain
and needs more to exand firing
ranges in Utah, Nebraska and Ari
zona.
In addition, Robinson said, the
Air Force has pending an applica
tion for withdrawal of 2,472,800
acres of public land in Alaska to
expand the Cook Inlet bombing
and rocketry range.
Vice Adm. Roscoe F. Good, dep
uty chief of Naval operations, said
the Navy needs another 4,700,000
acres in Nevada and California,
double its present land holdings,
for gunnery ranges.
Robinson pictured aircraft fly
ing at six miles or more a minute.
This was to emphasize his state
ment that the high speed and alti
tude of our modern weapons re
quires large test areas.
Chairman Engle reiterated his
belief the military already has
taken too much land out of general
use.
British Scientist Allowed
To Study Fish in Russia
| But Can’t Go to Siberia
LONDON, UP—Joe Miller of the
London Zoo has Kremlin permis
sion for a visit to Russia to study
fresh water fish that produce cav
iar.
But the Russians turned down
his request to visit Siberia and
study the world’s only fresh-water
seals.
“I suppose some atomic work is
going on there,” he said. “I was
very disappointed.”
Miller, a fellow of the Royal
Zoological Society, said the main
object of his visit to Russia will
be the life and habits of the ster
let, the river species of sturgeon
from which caviar is obtained.
Miller said his quest will take
him up and down the Volga, par
ticularly the waters around Sara
tov, which stands on the western
bank of the big stream.
Will he eat much caviar?
“I hate the stuff,” said Miller.
