Dear Dr. Lamb— l am ex
ceedingly perplexed about
your statement that alcohol
has only a bit fewer calories
than pure fat A book 1 have
says there are 83 calories for
one ounce of bourbon and 73
for one ounce of scotch, and
this accords with what I
have always read and what
doctors have consistently
said in connection with alco
hol and weight. If there is
new evidence which is avail
able to you, I am sure that
others of your readers as
well as I would like to know
what it is
I was a teetotaler until 1
was 50 and am just as much
against the abuse of alcohol
as you are, but in recent
years 1 have taken one and
one-hall ounces of bourbon in
water at bed time to help me
sleep
Since I do gain weight
every winter and take it off
every spring, 1 shall certain
ly cut out the whisky if you
can make good the state

Reader questions statistics
Alcohol, fat close in calories
at the moment 1 frankly be
lieve to be completely inac
curate
Dear Reader—l wish
everyone’s problem was as
easy for me to solve as
yours. Neither bourbon nor
scotch is all alcohol. My
statement comes directly
from the U.S Department of
Agriculture’s analysis of
food. One gram of alcohol
contains a little more than
7 calories. A gram of fat
contains from 8.37 to 9.02 cal
ories.
A one and one-half ounce
jigger of whisky like you
take at bedtime will vary in
its calorie content from 100
calories for that with only
about 40 per cent alcohol to
about 125 calories for whisky
made with 50 per cent alco
hol. Even the strongest
whisky is only about 50 per
cent alcohol and most of the
rest is water.
So I will stand pat on my
statement that alcohol has
almost as many calories as
pure fat, but let me point out
to you that I did not say
bourbon or scotch, but alco
hol. If you are still unhappy
with how many calories
there are in alcohol, you will
need to take it up with the
man upstairs, not me
Now in reference to wheth
er you need to quit taking
your one and one-half ounce
of bourbon at bedtime, that
is an individual matter It
certainly is a useful sedative
and helps a number of peo
ple in this regard and al
though it does contain some
calories, I am sure that it
represents only a small por
tion of the total calories you
consume on a daily basis.
The people who really get
into trouble with alcohol as
calories are individuals who
drink a great deal regularly
—the persistent beer drink
er or the person who has two
or three highballs every eve
ning, none of them weak in
alcoholic content Those who
can afford it add these cal
ories to usually large eve
ning meals; hence, many of
the executive drinkers and
alcoholics from moderate to
well-to-do families are fat.
The poor alcoholic from the
slum areas will often spend
his money for alcohol and
not food and he may actually
be suffering from malnutri
tion Alcohol does not con
tain any useful nutrients for
the body and its only con
tribution is calories plus its
drug affect which is a seda
tive in mild state or in larger
amounts can actually be
poisonous

British soldiers smash barricades
BELFAST, Northern Ireland
(UPI)—A dozen British soldiers
guarded by 150 other heavily
armed troops used two armor
plated bulldozers today to
smash barricades around a
Roman Catholic area declared
off limits to them.
UPI correspondent Colin Ba
ker, who accompanied a unit of
the King’s Own Scottish Border
ers on the two-hour mission,
said the only sign of the Irish
Republican Army (IRA), which
proclaimed Turf Lodge a “no
go” area, was a few scattered
sniper shots.
There were no residents on
the darkened streets near the
barricades—made of burned
cars, buses, hedges and bricks.

Responsible sources here say that, in labor's behalf, up
to 300,000 pieces of literature attacking Sen. George Mc-
Govern’s labor record may be distributed to working men
in the final days of the Massachusetts presidential pri
mary campaign
I was told by one source that these pamphlets would
stress the fact that, years ago, McGovern supported the
drive for a right-to-work law in his own state of South
Dakota, and that he also voted against a bill in Congress
to repeal the section of the basic Taft-Hartley labor law
which provides the federal loophole for such state laws.
Asked what other items the literature would contain,
this source said: “Anything else that reflects on his
record."
The purpose of this kind of an undertaking would be
clear to all; To stop the surging McGovern, most specifi
cally and immediately in his promising bid for victory
in the April 25 Massachusetts primary, but also in his
larger quest for the Democratic nomination to be settled
in July.
It has been evident for a long time that both organized
labor leaders in general and many top regular Democrats
oppose McGovern’s nomination. Labor sees him as un
friendly and too leftist. For these and other reasons, some
party chiefs rate him unelectable
Even before I learned of the proposed anti-McGovern
literature blast, I had been advised by a key Democrat to
expect a blocking move from labor’s side. I asked Mc-
Govern in an interview what effect such an effort would
have, and he answered: "It would hurt.”
Though he told me he thinks he ought to win this pri
mary more decisively than any he has competed in so
far, the senator has said again and again that his pros-
Only one or two houses had
lights on, Baker said.
“The 150 troops, each with
blackened faces, took up
positions in gardens, behind
tress and lamp posts all along
the road,” he said. “A sniper
had just about nowhere to
hide.”
Troops clearing barriers in
the area Sunday came under
fire from snipers. Although
there were no casualties there,
gunmen elsewhere in Belfast
and Londonderry killed three
soldiers, including an officer,
and wounded two others.
The barricades went up in
Turf Lodge following Saturday’s
shooting by troops of Joseph
McCann, 24, described by the
army as a “very senior officer”
in the official Irish Republican
Army (IRA). McCann lived in

Big blue collar push in Massachusetts
Labor’s aim: stop McGovern
the barriers would remain up
until after his funeral Tuesday.
Statements by the official and
provisional wings of the IRA
said Sunday’s killing of the
three soldiers was in retaliation
for McCann’s death.
The army named the slain
officer as 2nd Lt. Nicholas Hull,
22, killed outside Belfast’s Divls
Flats complex. He was single
and had only been in Northern
Ireland five days. The London
derry victims were Cpl. Gerald
Bristown, 26, married and the
father of a 1-year-old son, and

pects here are tied closely to his chances of success in
the blue collar neighborhoods in Boston and across this
state. Indeed, he sees his whole campaign hinged to a
broadening appeal.
Off his reasonable success with blue collar voters in his
Wisconsin primary triumph April 4, McGovern is confi
dent he can do it here. too. despite any effort to stop him.
His schedule in the final two weeks of the Massachusetts
campaign was deliberately pointed to working class dis
tricts in the industrial centers. And the visible evidence
one gets from following him through factories and union
halls, as I did. suggests he is pulling favorably with these
people.
McGovern makes an obvious point: Organized labor’s
ability to influence its rank and file is at a minimum in
primaries, when workers seem to like to vent their griev
ances. That leaves him especially confident, since 1972 is
shaping up as a big year for protest voting, and McGovern
and Alabama Gov. George Wallace are widely seen as
the protest candidates.
Top labor in Massachusetts has a reinforcing reason
for opposing McGovern. Some 12 union members are on
various delegate candidate slates pledged to his chief
rival here. Sen Edmund Muskie. If they don’t win as
individuals April 25, they don’t go to Miami in July.
State labor leaders met here recently to consider ways
to salvage these candidates. Even if the labor represen
tatives could get elected, the crazy quilt Massachusetts
primary law would compel them to vote for McGovern
on the first ballot if he won the popularity test statewide
and in various congressional districts. Their aim
maneuvering room for labor delegates at Miami—won’t
be fulfilled unless they block McGovern in both the popu
larity and the delegate-selection battles.
