Doctor Says Sleep Obsolete; Man Breaking Sleep Habit
LONDON—(UPI)—Guess what's going out of style. Sleep.
Dr. Mangalore Pai said today after 37 years of research, that modern man is slowly breaking the habit of sleep imposed on him by his ancient ancestors.
"By the year 2000 most of us may only need about three hours," said Dr. Pai, who is consulting psychiatrist at Belmont Hospital Neurosis center.
"AS IT IS WE HAVE been cutting down the length of time spent in bed within this century. Eight hours a night is now just an old wives' tale. There are many people around the world who make
do with three or four or five hours without any ill effects."

Back in the days of the saber tooth tigers, primitive man slept through the hours of darkness. He had to—it wasn't safe to leave the cave.
"Then came the discovery of fire," said Dr, Pai, "and prehistoric man found he could do some work in the cave at nights. Right then we began to cut down on our hours of sleep. The candle, the oil lamp and the electric light accelerated the process. Then came radio and the movie and television."
"THERE IS NOW SO much to do at night that we are not as anxious as we used to be to go to sleep.
In fact our brains are more active, our bodies better fed and as we keep pace with modern times we need and want less and less sleep."
Dr. Pai said people stay awake when there are reasons for staying awake. He gave as an example African natives who used to doze off at sunset in their villages but who stayed awake hours longer when they went to work in cities.
D. Pai did some of his research in air raid shelters during the war and he found that people who had only four or five hours sleep a night for weeks on end during the German bombings of London were no worse for it.
Atomic Tests in Air To Resume April 30
A well-informed official said he could not give an exact date, but either of those two days would be a "very close guess."
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— Indica tions today were that the first atmospheric nuclear blast in the new U.S. test series will be set off April 30 or May 1.

The United States thus was giving Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev 20 days to reverse his position and agree to an inspected test ban treaty if he wants to halt the proposed U.S. series.
Officials said the offer to suspend the tests in return for a cheat-proof treaty would be kept open until the last minute.
They acknowledged, however, that they had no real hope that Russia would change its position and agree to an international inspection system to police a ban.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk apparently became convinced at the Geneva disarmament conference
that Russia planned another series of atmospheric experiments of its own—whether or not the United States tests—and had no desire for a treaty at this time.
British officials still clung to the hope that some last-minute "give" in the Soviet attitude might permit postponement of the U.S. series.
The British also have argued that progress on some other sector of the international front, such as Berlin, would justify delaying the tests. But the Americans claim the new series is vital to free world security, irrespective of other developments, unless Khrushchev agrees to a foolproof ban.
Officials said pressure from London caused President Kennedy to join Prime Minister Harold Macmillan in yesterday's statement reaffirming Western willingness to call off the tests if Khrushchev would "accept the principle" of international inspection.

"Most wartime leaders like Sir Winston Churchill also slept only a few hours a night," he said.
DR. PAI SAYS THAT people who "can't get up in the morning" ought to try an after-lunch siesta of half or three quarters of an hour, such as Churchill takes.
"This sleeping by installments prevents the accumulation of fatigue," he said. Dr. Pai believes anyone can throw away his sleeping pills and doze off within 15 minutes if he will learn this one word lesson:
RELAX.
Negro Plans Move to Russia
NEWARK, N.J. — (UPI) — William Clark, Negro worker who sent his 14-year-old daughter to Russia last year because he did not want her going to "Jim Crow schools here," announced today that he and his family plan to join her behind the iron curtain.
In a personal letter to President Kennedy, the 44-year-old Clark said he and his wife. Carrie, planned to renounce their U.S. citizenship and take their five young sons to live in Moscow.
For the last seven months the couple's daughter, Huldah, has been attending school in Moscow under an all-expenses paid scholarship provided by Soviet Premier and Mrs. Nikita S. Khrushchev.
"I and my family would like very much to join my daughter in the Soviet Union so we, too, can escape Jim Crow and injustice," Clark wrote in his letter to the President.
