A 'Light' Booze
Myth on Lightness in Drinking
Destroyed by Importer of Elixirs
I 4 ft

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.

water for president movement.
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

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.
