MEOFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON TUESDAY. MAY 14, 19(3 A 'Light' Booze Myth on Lightness in Drinking Destroyed by Importer of Elixirs I 4 ft fc'-'te-: " iflTltfiV '' I" M By DICK WEST Washington -WPD- A large segment of the population still accepts as gospel truth three proven fallacies. They are: That you can always be sure of getting good meals during cross country trips if you stop at the places where the wn truck drivers eat; that If you fill up on Chinese food you will be hun gry again in a half-hour or so; that stimulating and enlight ening commentaries on world affairs are provided by New York cab drivers. To this treasure of folklore there has lately been added a fourth great myth: -That if you drink a "light" type of booze, you won't get Stoned so fast. We had here recently a co Incidence of events that my friend "Diamond John," last of the big freeloaders, describ ed as a twi-night doubledeck er. In ihe late afternoon iha French National Associa tion of Cognac Producers gave a brandy-tasting recep tion, and in the early eve ning the California congres sional delegation gave a wine-tasting reception. Needless to say, French brandy was served at one and California wine at the other. "Diamond John" was beside himself with glee: ' "This is what has been miss ing in my life," he chortled. "Dramatic conflict. The im porters and the domestics pit ted against each other in a battle of the freeloads." At the brandy freeload, the host was I. M. (Tex) Bomba, a New York importer who was pointed out to me as an authority on American drink ing habits. "Bomba is an expert on the subject of getting bombed," my tipster reported. I approached the elixir oracle and requested that he elucidate. He responded with a stimulating and en lightening commentary on myth No. 4. "The trend nowadays is to ward lightness," Bomba said. "A lot of people are buying brands that are advertised as 'light' without even knowing what the term means. "There is a widespread im pression that liquors are 'light' if they are pale in color. That is not necessarily true. Good cognac, for instance, is 'light' but has a dark color. "It also is widely believed thai light liquors are less in toxicating. That is nonsense. The percentage of alcohol is the same whether they are light or heavy." I thanked Bomba for the information and I pass it along on the chance that it might keep some misguided tippler from going out like a light. Goldwater May Be Obstacle for Gov.

The G-for-p movement Is showing political muscle. There Is a powerhouse of en thusiasm under the hood of the G-for-p bandwagon. Gold water is a crowd pleaser. He has been and may still be somewhat of a underdog, com ing as he does from political ly insignificant Arizona, But, however that may be, the sen ator arouses among his fol lowers a boisterous affection. Consider some recent po litical developments: State and regional Gold- water for - president head quarters are popping up at a great rate. These are accompanied by enthusiastic draft-Goldwa-ter efforts. Favored by Majority -A Congressional Quarterly poll of delegates to the 1960 Republican national conven tion found a majority person ally favored Goldwater even though a majority also re garded Rockefeller as most likely to be nominated. Goldwater was the per sonal preference of every sec tion of the country in this poll except the East and by a good margin. The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitu tion polled Republican party officials in Southern states and reported: Sen. Barry Goldwater Is almost the solid choice across the South for the Republican presidential nomination - and some 250 delegate votes are his more than a year ahead of convention time. 'Those votes are almost half enough to give Goldwa ter the nomination. And the people who hold these dele gate votes say they could car ry every Southern state for Goldwater if he were nominated." The Constitution poll found some Rockefeller strength in Arkansas, Tennessee and Vir ginia and a bit in Georga and Kentucky for Sen. Thurs ton B. Morton (R-Ky.). The evidence of convention strength in the Constitution's poll is a reassurance much needed by Goldwater's frieds. Republican nominating con ventions long have been load ed against conservatives. The Republican party has not nom- in ted a conservative for pres ident since Calvin Coolidge in 1B24. Out-Promii iha Democrat! It has seemed to some ob servers that the convention would be the greatest obstacle between Goldwater and the White House; that it should be less difficult to elect than to nominate him. That is be cause Republican conventions have been dominated by East ern Republicans whose politi cal strategy increasingly has been to outpromise the Dem ocrats instead of out-slugging them. In publisher John S. Knight's "Editor's Notebook," published May 5 in the De troit Free Press and other Knight newspapers, this point is made: "Until someone such as Goldwater heads the Re publican ticket, the conserva tive strength in this country never will be tested." Knight doubts that Gold- water could lick President Kennedy, But he asks a question that Republicans long since should have been asking themselves: "Why should the Republicans, basic ally the conservative party. fear to try it (a test of con- down, the kingmakers of the not much representation in el- servative strength)." Republican party are more in- ther major party. Goldwater The answer to that seems terested in victory than in could change that although to be that when the chips are principles. Conservatives have the odds are long against him AKI NOW OPEN FOR CHARTER MEMBERSHIP IN COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSN.

SAT ISFACTION GUARANTEED. Tax Relief for Heavy Truckers Passed by House Salem - IUP1I- A bill to give $300,000 in tax relief to heavy trucks, and raise the optional flat fee used by log truckers by 10 per cent, passed the House 52-8 Monday and went to the Senate. It is an outgrowth of the findings of the Illinois Road Tests. A broader bill passed both houses in 1961 but was vetoed because the tests were not completed. The bill involves the tax paid by trucks on the basis of weight and mileage, a tax that netted Oregon $16.7 mil lion last year and is increas ing by about 2.5 per cent a year. Slight Increase Effect of the bill would be to increase the tax slightly for lighter trucks and lower it for heavy trucks. Reps. John Dellenback a Edward Branchficld, objected to the increase in the optional flat fee which log-truckers can pay instead of the weight- mile tax. Rep. W. O. Kelsay (D-Roscburg) said, however, it was a compromise. The bill went to the Sen ate, even though the Senate already passed a similar bill, because it was decided such a revenue measure should or iginate In the House to assure constitutionality.
