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.

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.

Washlngton-(UPI)-The Office
of Civil and Defense Mobil
ization today denied charges
it tried to suppress an Army
report which said the nation's
air raid alarm system was Inadequate.
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.
These are dangerous games
for politicians to be playing,"
said Chairman John E. Moss
of the House government in

Tucker's expired Aug. 31, 1959. Asked why she never re

said.
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

presentation of the report re
sulted "in embarrassment to

Tuesday, "Political face-saving

justification for suppressing
the ugly fact that during the

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.
