ZPG Quizzes Candidates
The Lexington chapter of Zero
Population Crowth (ZPG) issued
yesterday a "political orientation" newsletter which sounds
Kentucky's congressional candidates on their views on population growth and control.
The newsletter was compiled
from a letter and survey sent to
candidates in the third through
seventh congressional districts,
said Doug Hennig, student coordinator for ZPG.
"Since the newsletters came
out, we haven't had the time to
mail them, so we're just going
to make them available on campus and try to get press releases
to the Lexington and Louisville
people," he said.
ZPG's letter to the candidates
said in part, "The astute politician should recognize the opportunity to make political mileage
by coming out strongly in favor
of population control, for now we
have public support and sympathy." The survey asked candidates if they favored a list of
population control measures, including:
Setting a national goal of
stopping population growth within ten years,
Repeal of all state laws restricting abortion.
Federal or state income tax
deductions for the cost of birth
control devices, abortions and
sterilization,
A constitutional amendment
prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of sex, ;
,,
..,.
The answers receive by ZPG
range from "enthusiastic" to
"comical," said Hennig. Here
are some excerpts from the newsletter's survey of the candidates:
Third district Democrat Romano L. Mazzoli favored a national birth control aid program,

An Example?
Crossen Says Abortion Stand

Contributed to His Arrest
By JEAN RENAKER

Managing Editor
Dr. Phillip Crossen said last night that the recent rock
festival held on his farm "wasn't worth" being convicted

for.

Speaking before Louisville's professional chapter of
Sigma Delta Chi, a national journalistic society, he added
that "there is good to come out of it (rock festivals)."
Crossen contended that his favorable stand on abortion
and his previous connection with the Lexington-Fayett- e
County Human Rights Commission contributed to his
arrest.
He added that he became a "symbol" of someone
who "listens to the younger generation" when he furnished his farm to student. He contends that his arrest
"supposedly effectively stops anyone" from involvement
with young people.
He described the festival, occurring on the weekend of
Sept. 18, as "beautiful" and "full of love." The doctor
commented that the community is "in bad shape if they
can't allow kids to have festivals like this." "
Responding to a question from the audience, Crossen
said he felt he had grounds for an appeal, but said he
didn't appeal because he "also has to practice medicine."
He added that he saw "no point in providing a political
circus" for E. Lawson King, Fayette County's prosecuting
attorney. He later added that King and Vice President
SpiroT. Agnew are "in the same camp."

"If people don't want the
leaflets, don't give one to them,"
he said. "If someone wants to

Paster suggested that if the

urged Mohn. "We really haven't

Book Review

Government Ignores Harmful Food Additives

"The domical Feast," by James
Turner, is published by Crossman
Publishers and is available in
hardcover at $5.95 or paperback
at 95 cents.
By JEAN CARPER
Dispatch News Service.
Could there be any more insidious violence to individuals
than the institutionalized
of our food supply with
the government's knowledge and
approval?
That's what this book is
about. And in it James Turner
brilliantly documents the corruption of purpose that has beset
the FDA which is supposed to
protect our food supply. As Turner proves, the FDA is much more
concerned about the economic
position of the food industry than
the health of 200 million Americans that is jeopardized by the
reckless use of untested and patently harmful food chemicals that
can cause a range of hazards,
including cancer, heart damage,
birth defects, undesirable mutations.
Cyclamates
In an especially timely chapter, which gives valuable insight
into the FDA's philosophy of operation, Turner dissects the cy- poi-sioni-

In other areas, Turner tells
how, unknown to consumers, caffeine is loaded into soft drinks,
and how essential foods, such as
bread, are stripped of most of their
nutrients during manufacture
with no replacements. Food is
contaminated in the factory with
g
bacteria and inedible filth; for example, in soft
drinks consumers have found "decomposing mice, maggots, used
condoms, cigarette butts." And
the FDA makes only pathetic
attempts to halt it.

FDA Against Individuals
But if the FDA is reluctant
to pursue the big economic interests Turner points out, their
abuse of power against a hapless
individual they dislike can be
frightening. As in the FDA's persecution of Dr. Wilhelm Reich,
n
avant-gard- e
the
psychoanalyst, who also had some
published beliefs that certain devices could improve health.
well-know-

er,

"For 13 years," writes Turn"FDA conducted a vicious

campaign to discredit him and
his ideas, distorting facts in its
possession to achieve that goal."
Finally the FDA succeeded in
obtaining a ban on the sale of
all Reich's books, a destruction
of all the documents of his research foundation, and a burning
of his books, Turner says, adding
that because Reich would not
repudiate his views to suit the
FDA, he was forced into federal
prison w here he died.
Turner is a man w ho thoroughly knows his subject and has done
a masterful job of searching out
the incriminating facts from long-secr-

et

FDA files, and suggesting
remedies. After reading this book,
one feels that the most needed
response is a public uprising to
halt this incredible constant assault we are being subjected to
from our contaminated food supply through FDA negligence.

5 duos or trios featuring vocals, including attractive

decision, rightly predicts Turner,
"must be viewed as the beginning, not the end of public concern about chemicals in the food
supply." For thousands of additives that have never been safety-teste- d
at all are willy-nill- y
dumped into our food supply.
Many are contained on theFDA's
GRAS (generally recognized as safe) list which Turner
charges is unscientific and illegal.
Manufacturers, we find out, are
even free to get up their own
CRAS lists, using chemicals indiscriminately, without even informing the FDA of what they
are using. Thus, the law which
requires additives to be tested
prior to marketing is openly
flouted by the FDA and industry.
And the mistakes of FDA are repeated over and over with ourselves as the losers. Now, for
example, with saccharin, which
is also dangerous and possibly
carcinogenic; but FDA continues
to keep it on the CRAS list.

clamate incident. He shows that
since 1931 the FDA had evidence
that cyclamates caused cancer,
but the information was suppressed and even distorted to
prove the "safety" of cyclamates,
enabling manufacturers to use it
with no restrictions at all in general foods, such as Kool-Aivitamins, bacon, fruits and vegetables, as well as
Even when FDA scientists
warned of the danger, they were
ignored or reprimanded by their
superiors. Altogether it was a
disgraceful performance up to the
very end when the FDA was
finally forced to ban all cyclamates as of Sept. 1, 1970, after
their illegal maneuvering to
brand it a marketable "drug"
was publically exposed in ConActually
gressional hearings.
Turner's group The Center for
the Study of Responsive Law
headed by Ralph Nader filed
a petition with FDA demanding
a complete ban. Three days later
the FDA in a hastily called news
conference announced the total
prohibition on cyclamates, and
tried to save face by saying the
decision was based on new evidence. Of course, there was no
new evidence.

the U.S. public printer from print-

But he specifically refused to prohibit individual congressmen
from distributing it on their own.
"There are undoubtedly individuals who would destroy our
institutions and form of government," Cesell said in his order.
"If any of them are listed in
this report, our Constitution

nevertheless preserves their right
to speak even though their acts
may be restrained."
Cesell's court order appears
to be the first ever to prohibit
Congress from publicly distributing an official report. And Cesell
said it was the first to be based
on the doctrine of valid legislative purpose.
Chairman Richard II . Ichord,
of the House Internal

the campus speaking circuit helps
finance "promoters of disorderly

Cesell said the

Members of the subcommittee
agreed they needed to come up
with some legislation on pollution control before the 1972 General Assembly. But no suggestions were offered Wednesday.
Smither also noted that the
most logical method to dispose
of solid waste would be a landfill. In that method, six inches

of soil are spread over the waste
each night and two feet are spread
over the top when the landfill
is closed.
But a population of about
20,000 is needed to support the
cost of maintaining a landfill,
including the necessary equipment, he said.
Cities and counties are allowed to combine to operate a
landfill, he said, but few have
done so. However, some progress

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL
University of Kentucky
ESTABLISHED

The state $48.3 million bond
issue has been a victim of the
general malaise affecting nearly
every contest in this Tuesday's
election. That is, a lack of rational
discussion.
The Nunn administration,
which sponsored the measure, has
seen fit to campaign for it quietly, ostensibly to avoid partisanship. This campaign has been so
quiet, in fact, that only those who
were favorably inclined toward the
issue were contacted. The result,
of course, has been to keep
uninformed.

A Black's Reply to Junot

The Dire Need for Bond Issue

1894

By ANDREW JOHNSON

Junot's article serve to epitomize
Ron Hale's assertion: "we haven't survived because of white people, we have
survived despite them . . . ", and the as- -,
sertion:
you're probably saying'UK
love it or leave it,' and we're saying 'fix
Mr.

"...

it...!"'

My concern about being "set straight"
demands I reply to the very well organized
and tactfully presented bit of tripe appearing in the Oct. 19th Kernel. Although
I deplore his choice of words, I think
Mr. Junot is right about the "white skin
guilt" tactic the Black Student Union is
trying to capitalize on.
Now about the BSU pushing this "All
us black radicals are cool, mean, militant,
and together" that's not right. That
sounds more like the Black Panther Party
(excluding the meanness). "All white students, and especially radicals, ain't for
shit except for what they can do for us
blacks." How the devil did you get that
out of " . . .we're fed up with the unmitigated hypocrisy of the white man"
(the only time in the article that particular
phrase (white man) is used) when ninety-eigpercent of the article is pointed
towards the administration and coach
Rupp?
Hey! How do you know about the alleged "seducing of white freak chicks?")
Did all of this go on in the Student;
Center Grille? In any case, and probably-contrarto popular opinion I do notj
think that particular faction of social intercourse is any of your damn business.'
On the reparations issue. Well, I certainly can not show you a 400 year old
black man. But I can show you people,

who are still fighting the Civil War, and
people suffering because of it. You know,
their is something to that "like father,'
like son" idea. Do a little adding and
subtracting and checking-upo- n
your black
history. My father's father would be 80,
his father would be about 110. That means
the latter here would have been born in
1860. The Civil War ended about five
years later, and tnie reconstruction did
not start until some time after that. Do
you see my point?
Now about that "come
