DAMN THE FACTS AND FULL SPEED AHEAD—
BY “LOOK”
Now we know that LOOK Magazine isn’t even trying to
get honest results in its notorious public opinion polls. In
the June 7th issue LOOK comes up with the astonishing
announcement that Washington press ami radio correspon
dents almost unanimously named Robert Taft as the Sen
ator “who contributes the most to his country’s welfare.”
It takes a lot of gall to unblushingly offer such propa
ganda about the man who authored the Slave-Labor Act,
who has consistently opposed sound medical insurance, who
attempted to cut out housing aid to subsistence farmers,
and who engineered the Dixie-GOP scuttling of civil rights
le|pglati»Ti
LOOK admits it questioned only 100 correspondents . . .
probably all carefully hand-picked for the right answers.
It is doubtful that LOOK'S warped opinions will do Tqtt
any good in '50. People are a little sceptical of a poll that
only six weeks ago had the crust to announce that Taft
Hartley Aims still popular with workers” in spite of the
fact that only 27 per cent of the workers polled favored
the act. _
JUST BETWEEN US GIRLS—BY TAFT
Senator Robert Taft went home May 16th to gb»at about
his record to a meeting of 1,000 members of **c'
publican Women’s Organizations in Columbus, Ohio. What
is his record? Taft said that he had blocked every phase
of the Fair Deal Program except spending: “and we^wili
check that before we get through with this Congress.”
He took a crack at Ohio’s farmers by sneering at the
Brannan Plan to keep farm income high. He endeared
himself to the ladies assembled by boasting that the Taft
Hartley Act was still on the books.
The farmers and workers of Ohio will remember this
“record” in 1950.

In another foinr years, accord
ing to Howard F. Lochrie of Birds
Eye frosted foods, few women
who want orange juice for drink
ing purposes will go to the trouble
of carrying oranges home from
the neighborhood store.
"Every day." explains Mr,
Lochrie, '•more women are learn
ing the many advantages of the
6-ounce container of orange juice
concentrate. They’ve learned, for
example, that the concentrate
eliminates the need for space to
store a dozen oranges. It also does
away with the time-consuming
job of cutting and squeezing or

' job of garbage disposal. In

oranges in frozen concentrate as
sures the best in natural flavor."
> Mr. Lochrie put his company's
pears of know-how to a challeng
ing test recently when a group of
tending food writers and
mentators visited the Lake Wales,
Florida plant where it* quick*
frown concentrate is made. The
experts were given a blind-fold
test and asked to distinguish be
tween a glass of freshly squeesed
orange Juice and one of the concen
trate. Most of the experts not
only couldn’t tell the difference
but actually preferred the con
centrate. t
"We have worked for 20 years
to capture the elusive flavor and
vitamins of fresh oranges in a
convenient and easy-to-use form,”
stated lfr. Lochrie. "The food ex

agree that in our frounce contain
