Representative Adam Clayton
Powell, Democrat of New York,
said yesterday Senator Ken
nedy of Massachusetts, now has
a good chance to win New
York's As electoral votes this
year because of anti Catholic
sentiment in the South.
The Negro Representative
said before. during and after
the Democratic National Con:
ventioA in July that Senator
Kennedy, the Democratic presi-
Dental candidate, had little
chance to win the Empire State.
But now, Mr.. Powell said,
New York liberals, Jews and
Catholics are recoiling from
Southern anti-Catholic senti-
ment and will probably switch
their votes to Senator Ken
nedy.
President Eisenhower won SO
per cent of New York States
Catholic vote in 1856, Mr.. Pow:

should win go per cent of it this
year.
The Republican drop from
SO to 40 per cent should enable

This is no unimportant fac

It goes on to say that
"the people will express
themselves mainly through
the Democratic Party :.
the mass of the common
people with whom we must
march forward are to be

statement then advises that
there are Representatives
and Senators with long,
hide bound, reactionary,
anti-labor and cold war rec
ords. Regardless of their
party af11liation, all efforts
should be made to rally
united front movements to
insure their defeat"
All this, the executive
committee states, is in prep

Mothers who breast feed
their infants are likely to have
healthier children than those
who feed them on cows milk,
a Philadelphia researcher said
today.
after all, human milk is
made for the human infant
and cows milk is made for the
calf" DR.. Paul Gyorgy, chief of
the Department Of Pediatrics,
University of Pennsylvania, de-
clared.

he added. I'm many of the
worlds countries breast feeding
is the only possible way to rear
a child up until nearly two
years old"
Nobody really knows the best
diet for adults-different cul-
lures have different diets and
the adults appear healthy, he
added. "But there is no doubt
but what the ideal diet for in
fants is mothers milk"
DR.. Gyorgy declared the
main reason less than 10 per
cent of American mothers
breast feed their children is
the cultural habit of the Ma
ton. He cited the laziness of
mothers and Madison ave-
nune" promotion campaigns
for artificial" baby foods that
flood the market.
The age-old dogma that |
breast feeding is the best will
undoubtedly be confirmed by
future scientific work, he de-
clared.

growth too swiftly with their
infants, he said. Mothers and
grandmothers and great aunts
all love to look at big fat
babies"
But, too often they are over
fed. This is easy to do be-
cause of the availability of
cows milk in this country, he
continued.
The fact remains, he said,
that animal studies show
many defects in later life
in overfeeding. Overfeeding
shortens life and tends to has

Candidate Charges
Bios in EquoI-T inne Suit

A Washington citizen who
claims to be a Democratic in
dependent candidate for the
presidency asked District Court
here yesterday to consider the
constitutionality of a congress
sional resolution suspending
equal time provisions for politi-
cal candidates taking part in
the 1860 campaign.
In a suit filed by Andrew j.
Easter of 2801 Adams Mill road
NV. it is claimed that the
news media in this country are
discriminating" against some
political candidates by ignoring
them and failing to give their
activities proper public cover
age.
Among the seven defendants
named in the complaint are
Vice President Nixon, Speaker
of the House Rayburn, the
chairman of the Federal Com

ator Kennedy, the president of

B. Hill, age Al, father Of four
daughters who wept and
mourned at the grave. And
God alone knows what God
thought about Brother Hill
whose faith was not enough
to overcome the effect of

ice at the New River Holi-
ness Church in South Geor-
gia.
But let us not mock Broth

to demonstrate his faith.
No one knows exactly how
these weird sects spring up.
But they do. They lift a
sentence or a verse out of
scriptural context, and they
build a church, as it is
called, around it. The phrase
or sentence may be some
thing about baptism or wit
Messing. Another scholar
might translate it out of the
Greek or Hebrew and use
different words. But for
those who build a way of
worship in a phrase there
are no other words.
There is, in the last chap
ter of the Book of Mark, in
the 18th verse, a sentence
which begins, "They shall
take up serpents."

bound and trying to please.
All ! know about Brother Hill
is what the news story said.
But I'll wager he was a good
man, according to his lights.
And he had faith and cour-
age. But, of course, he was
betrayed by ignorance and
the many pitiful liabilities Of
a life which has known few
amenities.
No one told Brother Hill
that Biblical scholars know
the Oldest and best manu-
scripts Of Mark end with
Chapter 16-B. The original
conclusion was lost and never
found. Two endings were
added very early. The longer
one appears in English Bibles.
Its origin is uncertain. A
medieval source ascribes it to
an elder Of the early church
called Aristion.
But even if Brother Hill
had been told, he would have
rejected it. To thousands like
Brother Hill, the printed text
of any Bible is the words Of
the Lord exactly as He spoke
them. ,
Saddest of all aspects of
this stark and dreadful story
is that Brother Hills greatest
agony was not the throbbing
pain of his arm, or the knife
like fire in his chest where
the lungs were being para
lyzed by the venom. For the
dying man, with his family
weeping about him, the real
pain was that he had failed
his Lord. His faith was not
enough.
This is what is so wicked
and wrong about it. And this
is why one wants to scourge
the serpent preachers out Of
the House of Prayer.

Malnutrition and want dc
not always go hand in hand
In fact, the reverse is con-
spicuously true in the case OF
two African tribes studied by
a British physician attending
the Fifth Annual Nutritional
Congress here.
According to DR.. Derrick b.
Jelliffe of Kampala, Uganda,
one of the most advanced and
prosperous African groups has
a high incidence of juvenile
malnutrition while q backward
tribe rearS healthy, happy chill
dren.
DR.. Jelliffe cited the two
cases in an interview when he
urged against such pat solu-
tions to worldwide nutrition
problems as "a pint of milk for
every Hottentot."
The Baganda people of SOU
thern Uganda, who number 1.5
million, have ample food sup
plies but do a poor job of nour-
ishing their children because
they are fed on bulky plantain.
On the other hand, the Wata-
dinga, a small backward tribe
of hunters, feed their children
almost exclusively on animal
protein, the byproducts of wild
game. and have healthy off,
spring as a result.
1.-THE big problem today is
not in getting food to the Ba-
ganda but in educating them
to use what they have" DIR.
Jelliffe said, food is genuinely
scarce in such places as India
and Africa, but not in the terri
tory of the Baganda."
"The Baganda can solve their
problems within their own
economy but dietary habits die

hard there, as elsewhere in the
world"
DIR. Jelliffe conceded the
value of milk in the diet Of
children, but cautioned against
overemphasis on the daily
handout of fluid milk in under
developed areas.
I'VE Europeans are milk
orientated," he pointed out,
"but there can be harm in dis
tributing milk as milk. It is
far better in most cases to use
powdered milk as a dietary sup
plement."
The healthy Watadinga lit

When a child is weaned from
his mothers breast he is given
cooked bone marrow at first.
Later he graduates to melted
fat from the zebra and the
wart-hog and finally meat
which has been pre-chewed by
his mother.
The combination of this diet
plus the continuing relationship
between mother and weaving
child make for a low rate of
malnutrition and well adjusted
children, DR.. Jelliffe said.
When the Baganda child is
weaned, he is taken suddenly
from his mothers breast and
is fed a diet of cooked plantain
by some foster parent as a
grandmother. DR.. Jelliffe, a
pediatrician contended that
this change is harmful on two
counts:
The diet of plantain is low
in protein. which is essential
to the child's well being. And
the sudden separation from
skin-to-skin contact with his
mother for the first time in his
life constitutes a deep physiol-
ogical trauma, DR.. Jelliffe said.

The lament of politicians
that America stands at the
crossroads" has been shouted
so often that 1t has become a
shopworn cliche.
Yet in this 1860 campaign
we indeed face the last fork

have a choice of direction.

campaign which makes seri-

The conclusion Of this long
statement adopted by the

of history will not be settled
by the candidates or the
platforms as we see them
now. 1t will be determined by
the people in motion, as it

the sit-ins in our own South
