Use of Red Food Coloring Ordered Banned by Government Kennedy Election Could Collapse on 'Iffy' Situations Washington - ItlPI) - This is strictly "iffy" stuff. But as of today, two weeks after the election, it's still pos sible for the presidential elec- ration of John F. Kennedy to come unhitched. Kennedy's electoral vote majority would be threaten ed If two things happened: -A recount gave Illinois to Vice President Richard M. Nixon instead of Kennedy. -Southern Dempcratic elec tors decided to withhold their votes from the Democratic candidate.

Coovert. . ; In Ashland a Thanksgiving As of today, the electoral vote stands: Kennedy 300; Nixon 223. Needed to elect, 269. Eight electors in Mississip pi are unpledged and six in Alabama are In doubt. Seek Illinois Recount Republicans have been mov ing for a recount of votes cast In Cook County, 111., which gave Kennedy a whopping majority. If the Illinois re check were to shift the state Into the Nixon column, Ken nedy would lose 27 electoral votes and bring his total down to 273, just four.more than the majority needed for victory. That slim hold on victory then would be in grave danger. If Illinois shifted-and that's the big if - there might be enough southern electoral votes in question to create doubt over Kennedy's vic tory. The doubt would be re solved only when the elec toral votes were cast by the various states Dec. 19. If Ken nedy then had a clear major ity, even if it were a majority of one, that would be It. If, however, he lost Illinois and if more than four south ern delegates now credited to Kennedy should vote for someone else for president - possibly Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia or Richard B. Rus sell of Georgia, the election would go to the House of Representatives. . How It Works But the White House would n't be up for grabs for any one. The Constitution limits the House selection to the top three candidates in the elec toral college. They would be Kennedy, Nixon and presum ably the man chosen by the southerners. 1 In the House, the vote would be by states with each state having one vote. Each state delegation would caucus and decide for Itself how to vote for president. The odds favor the Demo crats. They control the con gressional delegations of 29 states compared to 17 for the GOP. Four are evenly divid ed and presumably could not agree on a candidate, Thus, even if all the Republican delegations stuck with Nixon, Kennedy could lose three of the Democratic - controlled states to a third candidate and still win with 26; the con stitutionally required major ity of all states In the union. Liver Damage In Test Animals Said Produced . Washington -flJPD- The gov ernment has banned the use of a red coloring used in Ice cream, hot dog casings and maraschino cherries. John J. Harvey, deputy ad mlnistrator of the Food and Drug Administration, an- nounced that the action has been taken because prellmi nary experiments show, that the coal tar color produces liver damage In test animals He said tests were also be ing conducted to determine whether the water-soluble pigment is cancer-producing He added that preliminary "test" results did not provide a basis for concluding that the color, known as red No. 1 could cause "cancer." . Another FDA official told a meeting of chemical and food Industry representatives hero last week, however, that some test animals had died and that a number of malig nant tumors had been dis covered in them. Ban Effective Immediately The ban of the food addi tives was ordered under the new color law which places on manufacturers the burden of proving that a product or additive is safe before it can be used in foods, drugs and cosmetics. The ban goes into effect immediately. But Harvey said that "no action needs to be taken to re move foods, drugs and cos metics containing this color additive from the market." He said that the additive is "not an acute toxic substance and that it is only used in small amounts." The color is known as FD & C Red No. 1, and has been a standard food coloring for many yeors. It Is not used In lipstick. Results of the tests thus far were disclosed Tuesday by FDA information o 1 f 1 cer Larry Trawlck. A drug Industry publication put out by FDC Reports, Inc., said Dr. Arnold J. Lehman, director of FDA's pharma cology division, told a recent meeting of food Industry rep resentatives that tests showed red No. 1 produced severe liver damage In laboratory rats, dogs and mice. Tut Aanimali Died Lehman also was reported to have said that a number of test animals died and that 24 tumors had been discovered in the animals, some of them diagnosed as malignant. FDA records show that red No. 1 Is one of the most wide ly used food colorings and has been certified for use for about 25 years.

But OCDM spokesman Her bert Moore did .acknowledge that Director Leo A. Hoegh blocked the appearance of the man who wrote the critical study at a national meeting of civil defense workers. Moore said the agency made no effort to suppress the report it was only a question whether this kind of man should be invited to this kind of meeting." He said the OCDM "ques tioned whether the meeting was the place for a critical speaker." Embarrassment Feared House investigators who made the suppression charge contended that the report was withheld because administra tion officials feared It might be embarrassing.

Moss cited an Aug. 2 letter from Leo A. Hoegh, director of the Office of Civil and De fense Mobilization, in support of his charge. Hoegh's letter, addressed to Lt. Gen. A. G. Trudeau, head of Army research, said, "it would be most unfortunate" if presentation of the report re sulted "in embarrassment to the Army, to the Department of Defense or the OCDM Moss said in a statement Tuesday, "Political face-saving has been claimed by an administration bureaucrat as justification for suppressing the ugly fact that during the last eight years little or noth ing has been done to put into effect a meaningful air raid warning system." WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? God had promised Abraham that by him he would make oreat nation, yot at 85 years of age he was childless, and Sarah his wife was barren, and she be came 'anxious, and not being content to let God's plan take for at the time of God's choos ing, she reasor-dd with Abra ham, that he should use her hand maid, and bring forth a child by her, which he did, and she bore him a son, Ishmael. While he was not the son of promise, God promised his mother, Hagar, that He would greatly multiply her seed. That promise is quite in evidence today in the Arab nations. This woman Hagar Is spoken of in the N.T. as the bond woman and Sarah the mother of Isaac as the free woman. The one great purpose of this nation through Abra ham, was to send the Savior for the whole world to free all peoples from their sins. It would not have been fitting to send the Savior by the bond woman. Continued Each Wednesday by The Church of Christ .
