New Records Seen
In LIQUOR DRINKING

LOUISVILLE. KY. Dec. 81
(AP) Consumption of dis
titled spirits will set post-repeal
records in both 1860 and 1861,
George Garvin Brown. presl-
dent of Brown-Forlnan Dis
tillers Corp, said today.
He predicted consumption
this year of close to 233 million
gallons which would top the
1916 post-repeal peak of $780,
981 900 gallons. Next year. he
added. consumption should
climb to 236 million gallons.
Mr.. Brown commented that
sales statistics indicate the
consumer has become far more
quality conscious. For example,
he said, spirit blend whistles
(produced by blending a small
proportion of straight WHISTLES

been losing favor with con-
sumers for some time.

Kennedy's Boyishness Musory

He will need mature and
resolute help about him
where the major issues are
concerned. And the Ameri-
can people can assist him by
not giving ear to the clamor
of fools, and the claques of
pressure which are geared to
produce floods of kilograms,
letters and speeches on the
floor Of the Congress.
The Soviets, for example.
have indicated a willingness
to negotiate. This must be
examined into. We have seen
there is some divergence of
opinion between them and
Peking. We long have hoped
for such a development. If it
is there, and if the USSR
should be willing to negoti-
ate on a basis of mutual con-
cessions, we should go as far
as they in readiness to dis

tions and also protected by
treaty with this country? It
is doubtful, but we should ex-
plore it. Formosa can't always
remain "Chiang's China"
These are but two issues
which will require public

remains, of course, the COM

never met until a few days

was not the choice of any

for our enemies. They expect

In Latin America, the Far

ter much to Moscow and

firmly that the losses suf-
fered by the Western world
in other areas will be even
tually translated into dis
turbance which will play into
their hands.
Moscow and Peiping look
expectantly to the United
States, hoping that under the
new administration - con-
cerned principally with the
underdeveloped world - they
may be able to bring about
a cleavage between us and
our present Western allies.
particularly France and Ger

In Latin America the Com
munistS have laid all their
bets on the well disciplined
Castro regime whose bloody
Communist revolution has
taken root and is spreading
to other areas. Despite the
deep dissatisfaction which
prevails in the unfortunate
island where the people have
been deprived of their rights
far more than under the
Batista dictatorship, the po-
lice state installed by Castro
and his barbudoS is imposing
the will Of the minority on
