Bennett continued, My Democratic opponent recently was quoted in the press as follows: 'The major elements of our society business, government and education have all gotten so big and so impersonal that we have departed from the basic strengths that made America what andDem-ocratic-contro- (HK) Washington Hunger and malnutrition in the land of plenty this has become the paradox and one of the primary concerns of government. A TV documentary on malnourished Americans, hearings by Congress, marches by the poor demanding better food distribution. a growing volume of studies all highlight hunger U.S.A. as never before. Along with this has come new understanding of the fact that malnutrition due to lack of sufficient food is only one part of the national question, and that poor nutrition due to insufficient but readily obtainable nutrients such as vitamins and minerals is also of great concern in the health of individuals. Now, however, the paradox of malnutrition and government concern is compounded by another paradox a complex set of regulations written by a government agency, the Food and Drug Administration. Lengthy public hearings are underway. FDA would require a label on all vit to mention is that it has been the Democratic Party noth the Republican that has been in power in the United States during almost all of the last third of a century, and thus must assume blame for the resulting problems from federal policies.

HEARINGS PREMATURE Two of the nations most respected nutrition authorities recently told the House Education and Labor Committee studying proposals for a national nutrition commission that the FDA hearings are premature and that no regulations should be adopted until knowledge of the nutrition problem is more comprehensive. l. They were Dr. William H. Jr., director of the Institute of Nutrition Sciences at Columbia University and chairman of the Food and Nutrition Board's y Committee on Recommend Allowances, and Dr. Frederick J. Stare, chairman of the Department of Nutrition at Har , Seb-rcl- Die-lar- A0i(SC!i or vard School of Public Health. Recalling that Surgeon General William Stewart had told Congress we do not know the extent of malnutrition anywhere in the United States. Dr. Stare said: I dont see how our FDA at this time can intelligently recommend new FCgulations on special diet foods, vitamin and mineral fortified foods and supplements.
