6-Week-Old Babies Thrive Upon Meat Mixed
With Formulas, Nebraska Tests Disclose
Old-fashioned parents may find
it hard to swallow, but doctors now
believe babies will thrive on a diet
of meat at the age of six weeks.
Two Nebraska child-care special
ists report tests of 33 infants over
a six-month period showed those
who had strained meat added to
their formulas were in better health
than children with the normal diet.
The new feeding theory is ex
plained in the current issue of the
Journal of the American Medical
Association by Ruth M. Leverton,
Ph. D. of Lincoln, Nebr., and Dr.
George Clark of Omaha, Nebr.
"The use of meat in the diet of
infants before the age of 6 to 9
months has not been a general prac
tice,” the authors point out, "be
cause of the prejudice that meat is
hard to digest and because it has
not been available in, a suitably
homogeneous form.”
Strained Meat Now AvaDable.
“With scientific evidence to re
fute the prejudice and with com
mercially strained meat now avail
able for use, meat presents itself to
the pediatrician and parent as a
concentrated source of high quality
protein for supplemental feeding at
an age when the protein require
ment, expressed on the basis of body
weight, is at its highest,” they as
sert.
To test their theory, the investi
gators placed 18 infants on the
strained meat diet from the age of
6 weeks, and observed 15, other
babies of the same age who were
fed on orthodox formula.
The strained meat was mixed
with the formula just before it was
put in the babies' bottles for indi
vidual feedings. The amount of
meat added was determined by
calculating the quantity necessary
to increase the protein content of
each infant’s formula 25 per cent.
Several Varieties Used.
Varieties of meat used were veal,
beef, pork and lamb, with each kind
of meat used a week at a time,
after which the sequence was re
peated.
Children did not receive the en
tire amount of meat at the begin
ning. One-third of the amount was
added to the formula for the first
three days, two-thirds for the next
three days, and the full amount on
the seventh day after reaching the
age of six weeks. Thereafter, the
quantity of strained meat in their
dirt averaged about an ounce a day.
The formula was adjusted to com
pensate for the extra calories fur
nished by the meat.
Nurses who cared for the infants
reported that those who got the
meat supplement in their diet were
more satisfied and slept better at
night than the other babies.
Dr. Clark, who supervised their
medical care, concluded the strained
meat improved the babies’ physical
condition by promoting the forma
tion of red blood cells and hemo
globin, the oxygen-carrying sub
stance.

Alaskan Area to Open
For Settlement Oct. 2
By th# Associated Press
Settlement on newly opened land
along the Alaska highway In Alaska
may begin October 2, the Bureau
of Land Management said today.
The land, 2,250,000 acres in extent,
includes large tracts of unsurveyed
areas and about 12,000 acres in 12
localities set aside for surveys as
small tracts for veterans of World
War n.
The land lies along 338 miles of
the highway within Alaska. An
order removing military restrictions
from the area was approved last
week by Secretary of the Interior
Krug, but does not become effective
for nine weeks.
The area was withdrawn from
the public domain early fti the war
for construction of the highway.
The Land Management Bureau
warns that little if any of the acre
age is suitable for agricultural home
stead use, no Government funds
are available for private travel or
the transportation of household ef
fects or other equipment and no
general description list of the areas
has been prepared. Prospective set
tlers must examine personally the
land they intend to occupy; none
may be acquired by mail order.
The natural flexibility of cattle

Ground-Breaking Is Due Today
On First Peacetime Atomic Pile
oy Miron i_. Diaitesiee
Associated Press Sciene Writer
I BROOKHAVEN, N. Y., Aug. 11.
—Building of the first atomic
oven erected in peacetime, and
dedicated to use of nuclear en
ergy in peacetime tasks, begins
here today in a ground-breaking
ceremony at the Brookhaven
National Laboratory.
This oven or pile—so named be
cause it is composed largely of
graphite bricks—is expected to be
in operation within a year, A main
use will be producing radioactive
materials for study of life processes,
metals and diseases, including can
cer.
Brookhaven, located at the site
of Camp Upton on Long Island 70
miles east of New York, will be
come a great Northeastern training
and research center for investiga
tion of myrifra phases of atomic
energy'. Government-owned and
Government-financed, it is operated
by Associated Universities, Inc., a
non-profit corporation of nine East
ern universities, under contract with
the Atomic Energy Commission.
Three commission members—
Sumner T. Pike, Lewis L. Strauss
and William W. Waymack—are
scheduled to attend the ceremonies.
The pile started today is one of
two planned at Brookhaven along
with other powerful atomic research
tools, for use by Brookhaven scien
tists and by universities, industries
and other research organizations in
the Northeastern and Middle At
lantic States. Most of the informa
tion learned will be made available
iv iicijj aii aciciiuc in tins new nciu.
But some work, of nature not speci
fied, will be kept secret.
The atomic pile makes possible
controlled chain factions started
by spontaneous release of neutrons
—one of the fundamental particles
of matter —from unanium 235.
Plutonium for A-bombs is made in
the pile. But this oven also produces
numerous valuable radioactive sub
stances by the bombardment of dif
ferent kinds of atoms with neutrons.
Radioactive carbon, for example,
can be made in the pile. This radio
active isotope of carbon behaves
chemically like ordinary carbon, but
it weighs more and it can be traced
accurately because of its radioactiv
ity. It is only one of scores of iso
topes which can be prepared and
used to find out what happens in
nature.
A second pile is planned which!
will have a hundred times the neu
tron flux of the one started today.
This second oven is expected to help
in learning what happens in still
larger power-producing piles, and
to make possible greater quantities
of rare isotopes.
Brookhaven also will be equipped
with special machines to bombard
atoms with high-speed “bullets” of
atomic particles. Designs are be
ing prepared for a 30,000,000 electron
volt cyclotrom, and for a synchro
cyclotron producing energies of a
billion electron volts or more.
Beams from this latter machine
are expected to produce in quantity
the mysterious meson particles,
which now are produced only by
occasional cosmic rays from outer
space.
Father of District Student Dies
As Airliner Nears Native Eire
me uream oi reilX Dolan, 53, a
New York City fireman, that he
would see his native Ireland again
after 32 years never materialized.
When his plane landed at Shannon
Airport yesterday he was found
dead in his seat.
His son, James Dolan, 21, who is
studying for the priesthood here
with the Fathers of Mercy at 1230
Quincy street N.E., was in New York
today waiting for his father’s body
to be returned to the United States.
Mr. Dolan’s death was discovered
when the Pan American Airways
Constellation arrived at the Irish
airport, the Associated Press re
ported. He was traveling with his
cousin, Terence Munday of Brook
lyn, N. Y., and planned to visit rel
Pa PI ■ _
atlves on his first trip to Ireland
since he left in 1915.
He had complained of feeling ill
and had reported to a physician
when the plane landed at Gander,
Newfoundland, Mr. Munday said.
Two hours later he appeared to be
in "very deep sleep” and later, when
Mr. Munday shook him as the plane
neared Shannon, he could not be
awakened.
Capt. Bernard Sayre, the pilot,
said only four others among 32 pas
sengers were aware of the death.
Mr. Munday reported quietly to the
crew and then remained at the dead
man’s side until the others had dis
embarked at the airport. An inquest
was scheduled today.
Mr. Dolan also is survived by
three daughters, all of New York.

first Miipments Due,
This Month to Step Up
Turkish Aid Program
By th» Associated Press
The tagging Turkish aid program
is expected to be stepped up this!
month with the first shipment of
American arms and equipment to
that country, official quarters indi
cated today.
The program, authorized by Con
gress, is designed to bolster Turkey j
against Soviet pressure.
The first actual shipment — a
$553,000 lot of modem road build
ing machinery to repair strategic
highways—is about ready, officials
disclosed yesterday. Contracts were
closed last week for immediate dis
patch of some two score tractors,
scrapers, rock crushers and the like.
Arms and Planes to Follow.
This is to be followed by am
munition, aircraft, radar equipment
and other munitions which make
up the major part of the $100,000,
000 Turkish air enterprise.
Assistance to Turkey has lagged
weeks behind the $300,000,000 related
effort to strengthen Greece, be
cause Turkey’s need was deemed
less urgent. With the return of an
I umciui mission neaaea oy M,aj. uen.
| Lunsford E. Oliver after a two
month survey on the scene it is ex
pected now to go ahead full steam.
President Truman, in asking Con
gress on March 12 for this backing
for Greece and Turkey, said it is
his belief that it must be our policy
‘‘to support free peoples who are
resisting attempted subjugation by
armed minorities or by outside
pressures.”
Turkish Needs Studied.
Detailed findings on Turkish needs
submitted by Gen. Oliver have been
under study at the War and State
Departments. Officials indicated
they lit in with the following pre
liminary breakdown of the main
purposes for which the aid funds
are to be spent:
Heavy and light ordnance, $51,
750,000; machine tools and technical
equipment, $22,000,000; air forces,
$12,000,000; naval needs, $6,550,000;
ports and highways, $4,000,000, and
miscellaneous, $3,700,000.
Most of the arms will come from
American surplus or Army current
stocks.

Bar Group to Complete
Study of Arrest Code
Before Asking Change
The District Bar Association's
Civil Rights Committee will con
tinue a study to determine whether
it will be advisable to recommend
revision of the codes covering arrest
and detention of persons without
charges, John Wattawa, new com
mittee chairman, said today.
Mr. Wattawa, who was informally
appointed 10 days ago by George E.
McNeil, associated president, said
he would not outline his course of
action until he meets with the new
committeemen, probably within two
weeks.
Mr. Wattawa’s appointment was
made prior to recent charges by
Julius Willie Clegg. 26, colored, of
1106 Twenty-first street N.E, that
he was illegally detained by police
and beaten. Both Mr. McNeil and
Mr. Wattawa said there was no con
nection betwen the appointment and
the complaint, as assumed in a
story in one morning newspaper.
To Study Entire Situation.
“We will study the entire situation
and then determine whether there
is sufficient reason to recommend to
a congressional committee a revision
af the codes,” Mr. Watawa said.
Fred Ballard, who headed the Civil
Rights Committee the past year, said
'he bar association disapproved of
ietention of prisoners for the "extra
curricular” charge of "investigation.”
Last year a Civil Rights Subcom
mittee drew up a statute requiring
an immediate preliminary hearing
n all cases, Mr. Ballard said. That
statute has not yet been reported
:o the full committee.
Had Arrangement With Callahan.
A study of ‘'investigation" cases
was begun by the committee in 1939
under chairmanship of Edmund D.
Campbell. At that time two pre
cincts were studied for a week each
to compile figures on such arrests.
Since then the Civil Rights Com
mittees have carried on with the
work. Last year an arrangement
was made with the late Maj.
Harvey G. Callahan whereby he
would release to the committee the
names of persons detained with
out charges.
Detective Chief Floyd Truscott
announced he probably will com
plete before the end of the 4veek
an investigation of the complaint
made by Clegg.
»Arrested on suspicion of molest
ing women, Clegg said he was held
54 hours without being formally
charged. Later he picked from a
lineup two detectives whom he ac
cused of beating him.

scars on the torso as Mrs. Jean
Howard Treaki, about 20.
A junk dealer found one section
of the body, from the waist to the
knees, wrapped in a blanket yester
day morning. The upper part,
wrapped in a gray bedspread and
stuffed into a shopping bag, was
discovered shortly after in a garbage
receptacle.
Senior Inspector John O. Whit
man of the homicide said the woman
might have been tortured before
she was slain. He said there were
wounds on the chest and marks on
the right arm indicating she had
been tied up. He added the body had
been "expertly” dismembered,' ap
parently with a knife.
•inspector wnitman said Harold
Kitchen, 32, and the woman's hus
band, Harry Treaki, 50, were being
held without charge for questioning
in the gruesome slaying.
Kitchen was quoted by the in
spector as saying he had last seen
Mrs. Treaki Saturday afternoon
when she told him “I'm going home
to my old man.”
Her husband, Inspector Whitman
said, related he had last seen his
wife, to whom he was married 12
days ago, at noon Saturday when
he said “she got all dressed up and
did not come back that night.”
Police said a bartender reported
he had seen Mrs. Treaki “dancing
barefoot in the street” Saturday
afternoon. Police said the woman
had not been dead more than 12
hours when the body was found.
