English version in the journal of the Society;) Text of Resolution No. 39 The Scientific Council of the International Society for Research on Nutrition and Vital S.ubstances (Society for Combatting the Diseases of actually a medication, as long as the scientific aspects of this problem are not satisfactorily clarified.

These reasons do not allow medical and scientific res- ponsibility for a compulsory ap- plication to the population, in ad- dition, the freedom of mankind is affected by such a compulsory regulation. The fluoridation of drinking water releases a fluoride circuit which includes vegetables, fruit, and other horticultural products and also milk to a small extent, and has an uncontrollable effect on This is clearly indicated by the Washington: There are signs little noticed endorsement of that a Republican ticket of former Reagan's selection of Schweiker by California Ronald the U.S. Coalition For Life, the Governor REagan and Senator Richard S. most influential Catholic oriented, Schweiker, of Pennsylvania, could national pro-lif- e group in the counattract massive support from the try which included both nations large bloc of Catholic conservative and liberal church voters, including those that goers.

Significantly, the 12 states contain 27 1 electoral votes or one more than needed to elect a President. These states also are where Carter is the weakest. Schweikers stand for helping the Captive Nations of Europe and te stance against the Soviet Union fits into Reagans strategy to win over the large ethnic vote in these large states. With Schweiker on the ticket, Reagans aides believe he could take full advantage of the recent awakening of ethnic pride and resulting political action among anti-deten- Catholics many North in the Irish, Polish, among them and tensions and conflicts between them and blacks in the big cities. EMOTIONAL ISSUES On the emotional issues of prayer in school, busing, and gun control, Schweikers positions either match or are very close to those of Reagan which should help increase the GOP drawing power among these ethnic voters. Italian-Americ- an Whether this Schweiker drawing power with Catholics and his conservative stand on the emotional issues will be enough to convince a majority of GOP to the Republican National Convention that a 12 ticket would be large states, including Reagan-SchweikSchweikers home state of a winning combination and should Pennsylvania where he has proven be nominated is still to be delegates er to broad-base- d .
