AN ORANGE IS AN ORANGE IF ITS ORANGE
Florida growers of citrus fruit have been assured
they can go on using red coloring on oranges without
interference from the federal Food and Drug Adminis
tration. Not all oranges, of course, need it. But market
ers have found that pale or .greenish fruit, which may
be just as ripe, sweet and juicy as its more colorful
cousins, is passed over on the stands because, consumers
won’t believe an orange is good unless it’s orange.
Last fall there was a suspicion that the coal-tar dye
might be injurious if used in large quantities. But now
one estimate has it that it would take about nine tons
of colored-orange peel to do an individual much harm.
So the experts have concluded the danger is not very
immediate.
The troubles of the juice-orange growers recall
an experiment made in Massachusetts some years ago
concerning apples. It was found that a blindfolded per
son picking a favorite apple by taste would often select
a green or yellow variety, but if allowed to choose
“with his eyes open” would always take a red one.
Possibly taste is the most complex of the five phys
ical senses. It has long been known to lean on the sense
of smell. But apparently most people savor a flavor
not only with the tongue and nostrils but also with
the eyes. .

Kefauver Returns
Stevenson Charge
Of Disloyalty
It looks like bare-knuckle cam
paigning from now on by both
Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Estes
Kefauver.
These two rivals for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination
swapped sharp verbal punches at
long range Friday, and appeared
ready for more close-in fighting
this week when both of them
stump Florida.
In Paterson, N.J., Kefauver ac
cused Stevenson of “mud sling
ing” and said such tactics smacked
of “a man who is desperate.”
Kefauver called a news confer
ence after reading that Steven
son, earlier in the day, had ac
cused him of injuring Democratic
unity and of Senate absenteeism
at times when votes were taken
on certain vital bills. But even be
fore he was aware of Stevenson’s
remarks in ■ a Jacksonville, Fla.,
speech, Kefauver had been “sling
ing mud” by making fun of his
hand-shaking style of campaign
ing.
Lashing back at Stevenson, Ke
fauver said “I didn’t cry” after
losing out at the Democratic con
vention four years ago. “I got out
and worked to help Mr. Stevenson
and the Democratic Party," Ke
fauver asserted.,
Kefauver said it wasn’t true—
as Stevenson charged—that he
had been absent on important
Senate votes, adding: “I think my
voting record shows a very good
attendance.”
The Tennessean also replied to
Stevenson in kind, contending his
opponent’s course of action will
“hurt the Democratic Party.”
Icebreaker Cancels Trip
To Carribean to Rescue
Trapped Sealing Ships
NEW YORK, 0P>—The Canadian
navy’s largest icebreaker has
sailed to the rescue of nine Nor
wegian sealing ships trapped in
ice floes near Greenland.
The sealers have 170 men on
board and are believed to be car
rying a multi-million-dollar cargo
of seal skins.
The men are reportedly in no
immediate danger and refuse to
abandon their valuable cargo.
The icebreaker, the Labrador,
was preparing here for a cruise to
Haiti in the warm Carribean when
the rescue call came from the
Norwegian government.

► MOSCOW, (iTC-Ex-Premier
Georgi Malenkov returned from
London Saturday bursting with
praise for the British people.
“Everyone was wonderful,” the
minister of electric power stations
said as he stepped from the new
Soviet TU-104 jet airliner that
brought him home.
“We saw . many things, power
stations and technical installa
tions, and we enjoyed everything
we did, but our dearest impres
sion was the warmth of the wel
come the British people gave us
everywhere we went,” he said.
In answer to a reporter’s ques
tion, he said he was sure the Brit
ish reception for Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin and Communist
Party Leader Nikita Khrushchev
later this month would be “very,
very cordial.”
Malenkov overflowed with en
thusiasm for the sights he had
seen during his three-week tour
of Great Britain.
“It’s amazing,” he said. “Here’s
a small island with 56 million
people on it and every foot of it
is steeped with their toil and his
tory.
“I.’s all so concentrated. It is
| most impressive. You cannot take
j a step without being confronted
i with the industry and history of
these wonderful people.”
The sleek TU-104 jet, pride of
the new' Soviet jet age, landed in
a murky mist just short of four
hours after leaving London.
Just before the big airliner
roared away from the airport in
London, Malenkov invited west
ern newsmen inside to take a look
at the craft.
Reporters found the Soviet air
liner had one main cabin and four
staterooms, all furnished much
more elaborately than those seen
in previous Russian planes. The
stateropm passengers sit in deep
armchairs with a table before
them.
