'Sinister 7 Is Sinister Word To Hurl at Political Rival The other day a political candidate was quoted as ascribing to his opponent a "sinister internationalist liberalism." We won't mention any names here, since it isn't necessary to the argument. But we'd like to suggest that this kind of talk is pretty foolish in present-day America. In the first place, one must assume that the candidate who uttered these words favors a contrasting outlook, which he might want to describe as "nationalist conservatism." That's all right. But we have understood that one of democracy's central ideas was to offer the citizenry at least two opposing viewpoints, so the voters would have a choice is fundamental to the notion of popular government. To label the opposition outlook as "sinister" is to suggest instantly to the electorate that it is not a legitimate alternative.

The logical extension of that tactic is to propose that there be only one viewpoint, the one held by the "nationalist conservative" candidate. Where, then, would be the choice? Just how "sinister" is it in this country to be an internationalist and a liberal? Obviously, America has always had strong liberal strains in its political texture. Some historians insist that basically the American people are pretty conservative. Some would disagree. But none denies the existence of liberal elements, and none would discourage them.

There are fuzzy liberals, phony liberals, just as there are wrong-headed and confused conservatives. But that is no reason to damn either category wholesale. We need both. Their existence is one assurance of a range of choice in politics. As for internationalism, right now this country has a whole hatful of policies which by any fair measure can only be described as internationalist in character.

Membership in the UN, in NATO, the aid programs, collaborative arrangements for the defense of the Pacific, these and others have won consistent bipartasan approval from Congress and the Executive Branch over the postwar years. Is President Eisenhower "sinister" because he supports and furthers these policies? Are the members of Congress who back them also The answer is no, and the men who hold nationalist or isolationist views are not to be so damned, either. Again we must have this range of choice. We ought soon to have had enough in this country of political argument whose real logic leads to a singleness of outlook and one-party government. Can't Keep Good Plan Down Charles Brannan, Secretary of Agriculture under the Truman administration, is reported considering running for the Senate seat Sen.

Edwin Johnson of Colorado has decided to vacate. This note calls to mind the famous Brannan plan for farm products. It proposed, among other things, to let market prices fall to natural levels. If these were insufficient to assure the farmer a decent income, he was to be paid an outright subsidy. In contrast, present policy keeps prices on many commodities artifically high, protecting the farmer but soaking the consumer at the same time.

It is interesting to learn that more than a few faint stirrings have been heard in Washington circles in favor of the outright mention is made of the embarrasing label, "Brannan." The Capital's political wise men would be warranted in indulging a faint smile if the idea gained even moderate acceptance as actual policy. And Brannan, in or out of the Senate, might well sue somebody for plagria- ism. Views of Others Some Cold Facts The vigorous competition between New England andthe South for new industry has finally reached the stage where it is difficult to distinguish fact from fiction in the propaganda broadsides. But the dependable Harvard Business Review is making a significant effort to clear the air of confusion. Writing in the magazine's current issue, Economists Stefen H.

Robock and John M. Peterson insist that it is simply untrue that the South has poor labor resources. Recent studies indicate that the region has "extremely favorable and highly unexpected labor values for industry," they say. What Robock and Peterson maintain is true. Dixie's industrial expansion has tapped only a portion of the tremendous labor supply that is available here.

Labor is not only plentiful below the Mason-Dbcon Line byt its productivity is high as well. These labor myths manufactured for the economic tug-of-war illustrated how fierce the competition is becoming. The loudest laments about the big, bad South luring away industry come from Massachusetts, the home of the Harvard Business Review. Yet Massachusetts seems to have little to complain about. More new capital was spent on industrial plants in Massachusetts in 1951 than any state in the Southeast.

In 1952 more new capital expenditures were made in Massachusetts than any Southern state but Louisiana. Some moving South in droves but other new industries are taking their place. Sen. John F. Kennedy Jr.

of Massachusetts boasts of "New England's many and well-known advantages in skilled labor, research and credit facilities." We did not know that New England had a corner on these advantages. But the truth is that there are advantages for industry in will select the area which best meets its own particular needs. The canny American businesssman is not likely to be fooled by myths about one region's advantages or another's lack of Times-Union.

Pettr fcfson's Washington Column Swieftky Visky Promulgating Big Headaches for Red Officials (NEA) the Russians have invented "So- vietsky visky," which is the Communist name for whisky. This may turn out to be one of the best secret weapons and propaganda devices ever introduced behind the Iron the anti-Commie point of view. When the Kremlin masters first announced a Russian brand of "visky" for the state stores, it was said to be a sign of the new higher standard of living, "raising the material and cultural level of the toilers." Since that time, the American National Committee for a Free Europe has collected a number of statements from Soviet officials, ndicating that "visky" has created a new Communist bureaucratic problem of staggering proportions.

Whereupon Sen. A. Willis Robertson Va.) "Is it not true that if the water between I the islands were included, the Territory would be larger than Texas?" Senators on the floor laughed at that neat thrust, as Senator Daniel climbed out of his predicament with the admission: "It might be, but I would not want members of the Senate to think that is foe only reason why I favor commonwealth status rather than statehood."

Doctor Written for NEA Service By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. Beyond any doubt, the best food for a new-born infant is the mother's milk, when such feeding is possible. This does not mean, however, that infants cannot grow well and stay healthy if they are bottle fed.

Artificial feeding has been carried out successfully many, ma times. It does mean, however, that if one compared a large group of breast-fed infants with a large group of artificially-fed infants, the breast-fed group gain more and be more healthy on the average than the artificially-fed group. The food needs of infants are important both from the standpoint of quality and quantity. Good, modern infant care includes frequent weighing during the first few months. Any failure to gain weight because of insufficient intake would thus be quickly discovered.

Quality, in reference to this subject, means what kinds of food are given. The starch, fat. protein, and mineral needs are excellently supplied in mother's milk. Even these, however, are frequently supplemented by giving an infant some orange Juice and cod-liver oil which supply important vitamins. Cow's milk, which forms the basis of most artificial feeding formulas, is somewhat different from human milk.

It contains a larger amount of protein, a smaller amount of sugar, and there arc some less important differences. When artificial feedings are necessary, however, cow's milk, to which is added sugar in some form, serves as the basis of the formula. Protein in the form of has been reported to be valuable for infants in preventing anemia. Milk continues to make up a large part of the food during the first year but pureed vegetables, mashed bananas, egg yolk and perhaps other foods are as a rule gradually added to the diet during this period. At no other time after birth is growth so rapid as during the first year.

Consequently, at no other time is it so important to maintain a satisfactory diet at all times. The greatest gain in weight is during the first six months. During the second half of the first year, the weight gain slows down and weaning or removal from bottle feeding is begun. If a grownup who weighed 150 oounds gained weight as fast as a new-born infant, he would weigh 300 pounds in six months and 450 pounds in a year. The need for food during the first year of life is thus obvious.

ON BRIDGE JACOBY Written for NEA Service Ttst Your Figure This Hand Take a look at the two trumps held by West in today's hand. How many tricks do you suppose that you can wir. with those two cards whenever trumps are led? The answer to this question was quite surprising when the hand was tually played in the recent tournament for 'the Vanderbilt Cup. I Milton MOM, playing on the team that won he championship, led he ace of clubs from the West hand. After studying the dummy carefully, Moss decided to continue with another club.

Dummy ruffed, and declarer saw that there was now no hope of establishing the heart suit and then getting back to dummy in order to cash long hearts. South therefore decided to ruff all of his losing clubs in the dummy. Declarer began by cashing dummy's top hearts, and West casually" dropped the queen of hearts NORTH (D) 21 4 J86 AK652 Q763 EAST 442 1084 4AQ843 4J62 SOUTH 4 AK 10973 410975 North-South vul.

He then ruffed a club in dummy, returned to his hand by ruff- ing a heart with the king of trumps and ruffed his last club in dummy. Declarer then led dummy's low last heart, intending to discard the losing diamond from his hand. This was a good idea, and South shou 1 have stir'c to his plan.

Paramount's been advised her blood pressure is down to 90, TV has its "Foreign Intrigue" and Hollywood has its local intrigue-second-guessing on why Paramount approved release of two new comedies, one starring Danny Kaye and the other Bob the same day. The Kaye movie, "Knock on Wood," rated all the ballyhoo, including a big televised premiere. Hope, I hear, is burning.

The Joanne Dru-Zsa Zsa Gabor feud, which started on the set of "The Big Top," has become one on the bitterest battles Hollywood has witnessed in years. It started when Zsa Zsa claimed she had the feminine lead in the film, despite Joanne's star billing. Before leaving for New York, Zsa Zsa hissed to Joanne: "I'll get even with you if it takes forever." Joanne replied: "It probably will, but aren't you rather old to talk about a future?" THE LUXURY LINER, Lurline, was about to sail for Hawaii. As the gay farewell parties were breaking up, a gal with a martini glass in her hand gave Richard Diaz, of the Matson line, a bewildered look.

Moss had already discarded a low diamond on the fourth round of hearts, and he now wisely discarded the ace of diamonds. By this time, South had only the ten of diamonds and the ten- nine-three of spades. South needed two of these four tricks in order to make his contract led his losing diamond, hoping that he would get a chance to ruff safely with the three of spades.

Thanks to West's discarding, however, East was able to win this trick with the jack of diamonds and could then continue with the king of diamonds. South ruffed with the nine of spades, hoping that Moss would overruff. Moss carefully discarded his last club, however, and he now had the queen-five of trumps as his last two cards, while South had the ten-three of trumps. South had to lead a trump and West's two trumps took the last two tricks.
