Malnutrition
Hurts Mind
CAMBRIDGE, Mass (AP)
A nutrition specialist said to
day about 300 million pre -school
children in underdevel
oped areas of the world are
suffering from malnutrition.
And, he said, there is indir
ect evidence that the malnutri
tion is impairing mental abil
ity in all of them.
"Malnutrition," he said,
"may actually be a cause of
underdevelopment" in nations,
rather than a result, because
impaired mental ability in a
population would influence na
tional growth.
Dr. Moises Behar, Director
of the Institute of Nutrition of
Central America and Panama
at Guatemala City, Guatemala,
said the 300 million represent
about 60 per cent of the
world's preschool children.
He made his report to an in
ternational conference on
malnutrition, learning, and
behavior at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, and in
an interview.
The conference, believed to be
the first of its kind, is explor
ing the growing belief among
scientists that malnutrition da
mages the human brain.
Dr. Behar said the figure of
300 million will tend to grow
because the population in un
derdeveloped areas is grow
ing at a faster rate than in
developed areas.
"The social, economic and
political well being of human
ity in the near future may
well depend," he said, "on
finding out if malnutrition
does, in fact, affect man's abi
lity to learn and, if so, on eli
minating the cause."
i Dr. Behar said the theory
will be tested in six commun
ities in Guatemala, perhaps
beginning by the end of this
year. ,
I Food supplements will be
given to children in two of
the communities. They will be
compared to children in the
other communities to see if
they perform better on tests
of mental ability.
Dr. Behar said the study is
aimed at separating the ef
fects of malnutrition from so
cial and cultural factors.
The communities, which he
did not name, will be simi
lar and contain about 800 per
sons each. The children will
be studied from birth to school
age.
He said the study will cost
about $300,000 a year. It is
being finance by the Nation
al Institutes of Health of the
United States.
Dr. Behar, a pediatrician,
said the long - range impor
tance of determining the exact
relationship of malnutrition
and mental ability iustifies
withholding food supplements
from the control communities.
He also said his group could
not afford to supplement the
diet of the entire population
of Guatemala.
Dr. Behar said he conclud
ed that 300 million children
are suffering from protein-calorie
malnutrition on the basis
that retardation in b o d y
weight of children in an area
indicates the extent of mal
nutrition. Studies of body weight in
children have been made in
many of the undeveloped areas
of the world.

auested to issue a proclama
tion designating the month of
April, 1967 as 'National Resi

upon the people of the United
States to observe such month
with appropriate ceremonies
and activities."
Just what the aforemen

ties are no one has ventured
to say, but some will certain

was assured by high sources.
If it hadn't been for Don
Steeples of Kansas State Uni

and University Residence
Halls (NACURH), Steeples
sent a request to Congress to
make April NRHM.
Law Center To Be
Big Peace Effort
WASHINGTON (UPI) The most effective anti-missile
missile may be a law book.
That's the idea behind the World Peace Through Law Cen
ter, which is marshalling a vast array of legal talent for
its third world conference in Geneva, Switzerland, this Sum
mer. Lawyers of every nation have been invited to the Geneva
sessions. Those of the Soviet Union and other Eastern Europ
ean communist countries don't wax enthusiastic over the pro
grams but they have participated to some extent.
Red China has responded through items in its newspapers
denouncing Washington attorney Charles S. Rhyne, president
of the Center, for inviting Chinese lawyers.
Outer Mongolia and Albania are the only two nations from
which no response whatever has come.
While the conference is in session July 9-14, a related
group, the World Association of Judges, will also be meeting.
Chief Justice Earl Warren is its chairman.
World statesmen have been talking for years about sub
stituting the "rule of law" for the "rule of force." But those
whose business is the law attorneys and judges have only
recently tried to assess what their profession could do towards
world peace.
Now the Center, a Rhyne brainchild, is trying make up for
lost time. More than 100 committees are at work drawing
up literally hundreds of treaties and laws for international
application Human rights, space programs, communications,
education, foreign investment, patents, crime and urban re
newal all are part of the master plan. The world's experts
will report on progress at the Geneva meeting.
I Another goal is establishment ' of a world court system,
beginning with regional courts:? Details are beingrworked outj -for
a special court devoted ; exclusively to problems arising
between the United States and Mexico; and for another hav
ing U.S.- Canadian jurisdiction.
These courts would be open to individuals who want to
sue foreigners or foreign governments as well as to the gov-.
ernments themselves.
Appeals from regional courts, might go all the way to the
Court of International Justice at the Hague.
Hardest Task
After the lawyers have completed these blueprints, their
hardest task will still lie ahead of them: selling the idea to
their home governments.
Many activities of the Center, a wholly private organiza
tion, do not require government approval.
Plans are under way to provide a unique service to attor
neys around the world who need to know the law of one or
more countries on a specific subject.
The project grew out of a discovery made by the Center
soon after the formal establishment in 1963; a major bar to
use of law is its unavailability.
Rhyne said in a recent statement that less than 20 of the
125 or so nations on earth have "a fairly up-to-date printed
law code or a recent compilation of their laws."
"Less than 20 nations have up-to-date ' printed volumes of
their high court decisions," he said. . . .Lawyers constant
ly report from Africa, Asia and Latin America that they
must rely on printed or mimeographed collections of indi
vidual statutes, and newspaper reports of court decisions."

In Lagos, Nigeria, a leading lawyer has 10 books, ancient
editions of law books from England. A barrister in Dakar,
Sengal, has about a dozen old books from France, three
texts in English which he can barely read contributed by an
American and "no code or constitution of Senegal."
The Center plans to put the "law of the world" into a com
puter in Geneva and make it available to lawyers anywhere
instantly. Rhyne says the technical feasibility of this goal has
been established. Existence of communications satellites cuts
the cost.
Any nation will be able to have its law code updated and

Business Manager John V. Parker has announced that
the Carolina Playmakers production of Anton Chekhov's
Three Sisters." originally scheduled to run through Mon
day. March 6, will be held over through Tuesday, March
7 due to a tremendous demand for tickets.
'i'h'i Chekhov play, which opened Wednesday night
( March 1 ) to an enthusiastic audience is directed by Mark
Schoenberg and features an all-student cast.
"Three Sisters" marks the third Playmakers produc
tion in a row which has been sold out before the open
ing of the run despite a one-day extension. The pro
ductions of "Antigone" and "You Can't Take It With You"
were sold out previously.
Good seats are available for the extended Tuesday
performance, and "standing room" can be purchased
at the door for the remainder of the run. Evening per
formances are 8:00 with a 2:30 Sunday matinee. Tick
et information can be obtained at 214 Abernethy Hall
and at Ledbetter-Pickard in downtown Chapel Hill.
printed out by the computer. Then government officials, multi
nation corporations (International Business Machines oper
ates in 104 countries), judges and lawyers can receive com
puter printouts of the law of any nation on any subject
within seconds of requesting it.
The language would be English, with translations extra
if necessary (not by computer). Laws could be put into the
computer in a country's own language but would of course
come out the same way.
Model Laws
Another Center committee is studying model laws for na
tions, based on experience in the United States with model
state statutes and model city ordinances.
Center committees are also keeping tabs on International or
ganizations like the European Common Market and U.N. ag
encies, which generate law that crosses national boundaries.
The aim is to urge changes or spur the agency to greater ef
fort. The 1,000 high court judges expected at the World Associa
tion meeting will be acting wholly in a private capacity, not
as representatives of their governments.
"Judges speak many different languages, live under many
different systems of government, and have many different
customs, traditions and educaional background," Chief Jus
tice Warren said recently, "but they possess a common meet
ing ground in the principles of law which are common
to mankind. . .
"We hope to have the high court judges of every nation
participate in the drafting of a statement of the general
principles all judfes have in common. Upon that foundation
we hope to erect a structure that can in a distinctive way
serve the cause of world peace.
"What new procedures, principles, means, methods law or
legal institutions can we collectively propose? . . . lit will
be a thrilling experience to listen to great judges from
throughout the world express their ideas. . .

Debut in New York
Elman's career began in De
cember 1908 when he made his
American debut in New York
as a 17-year-old who had be
hind him five years of playing
in Europe. He had already
been stamped a prodigy to be
remembered for all time.
Since then this musical idol's

vitality and capacity for en

of retiring. His concert sched
ule for the coming season
would tax the energies of
most younger men.
Guest Solist
His career has been filled
with numerous honors. Just be
for his 70th birthday, he was
selected by the late President
John F. Kennedy as the guest
soloist to appear with the Na
tional Symphony Orchestra at
the Inauguration Ceremonies in
Washington. Shortly after, the
White House Press Corps in-
vited him to play at its din-

ed Mr. Kennedy.
In the spring of 1964 he play-
ed at the reception and din
