Fuel For School
School days ahead: Little Sue
and young Johnny are going back
to their 30-hour work week. How
will their on-the-job performance
be? Most people realize how impor
tant good nutrition is for the work
ing man if he’s to do his job well.
Yet few people connect a youngs
ter’s performance at school with
his state of nutrition.
People in the know — the teachers
— often report
that the child with
little or no break
fast is likely to be
tired, cross, inat
tentive or poor at
his lessons.
A recent survey
made by the Ohio
Experiment Sta
tion revealed that of 341 school
children studied, only 20 ate break
fasts *which rated “good” by mod
ern nutrition standards. The chil
dren, ranging from 9 to 12 years
old, attended city, village and rural
schools.
Nutritionists say breakfast
should supply at least a fourth, pre
ferably a third, of the day’s food
needs, including protein, calcium
and vitamins. To make sure your
child is getting the vitamins and
minerals he needs for growth and
activity, you can make a vitamin
tablet part of the daily breakfast
routine. One such supplement, Vi
terra Tastitabs, is fruit-flavored to
please youngsters. If you have a
problem eater in your house, a
candy-flavored Stimavite tablet will
s^ep up his appetite for all his food,
not only at breakfast time, but also
for the other meals of the day.
The most common excuse for a
poor breakfast - lack of time or
hurried atmosphere — are poor rea
sons for sending young scholars off
to school in a poor state of nutri
tion.

By Harrison Humphries
WASHINGTON,' UPt— Delegate j
Bunns fD-Hawaii) headed home
for a month yesterday expressing
confidence progress toward state
hood for Hawaii in the past ses
sion of Congress will produce re
sults next year.
“As of the moment,” he told re
porters, “the Alaska statehood
bill has the best chance of getting
| thru.”
j For that reason, he said, the
Hawaii statehood bill will remain
I in the House Interior Committee
; until action on the Alaska bill is
completed in the House.
Hawaii's More Forceful Case
“To my mind, once Alaska is
i successfully out of the way—and
I think the promised support of
Speaker Rayburn adds a great
deal to that accomplishment—I
don’t think the members of the
House are going to resist the old
er and more forceful case of Ha
waii,” he said.
“The only question is a ques
| tion of time. If we can get Alaska
j thru in th^ first couple of months

i and no emergency—like the Mid
! die East crisis—intervenes, we
will likely get both statehood bills
passed next year.”
49lh or 50th Doesn't Matter
No matter what happens, Burns
continued, “we. ought to put ev
ery .effort to get Alaska statehood
approved, without regard to
whether Hawaii is right behind.”
“We can come in in the next
Congress,” he said, “the people
of Hawaii want and need state
hood and the people of the Unit
ed States want and need Hawaii
as a state. Whether we are the
49th or 50th state doesn’t make a
bit of difference to me.”
No Filibuster Expected
Burns said he is assured that
statehood supporters will not seek
to combine the two measures—a
procedure which in the past has,
he said, “compounded the oppo
sition.”
“I feel confident that we will
have votes to spare in the Sen
ate,” he said. “There will be op
position, of course, but I doubt
there will be much of an attempt
to filibuster.”
B-47 Bomber With
Stuck Landing Gear
Slides to Safe Stop
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., —A
B-47 bomber slid to a safe belly
landing yesterday after flying 14
hours while crewmen tried to
lower a stuck landing gear.
The plane was refueled five
times during the 14 hours.
Airmen at Little Rock Air Force
Base, where the plane is based,
spread 3,000 feet of foam on the
runway to reduce the chance of
fire and to provide a slippery
landing surface.
The pilot, Capt. R. W. Dupras
of Glacier Park, Mont., dropped
the plane on the runway two feet
from the edge of the foam and the
craft skidded 1,600 feet before
stopping. None of the crew was
injured. Damage to the plane was
minor.
The crew tried 65 different
methods of repairing the landing
gear. During the flight, Boeing
Aircraft officials from Wichita,
Kan., were in communication by
telephone and radio, suggesting
ways to correct the malfunction.
