Ford becomes
traveling salesman
By RICHARD H. GROWALD
UPI Senior Editor
WASHINGTON (UPI) - In Atlanta no one washed the
White House china and Air Force One flew the dishes back
to Washington still dirty.
In Houston John Connally virtually invited himself into
the presidential suite although he had not yet come to trial
on bribery charges.
In Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Interior Secretary Rogers C.B.
Morton paused to wash his hands and thus kept the
President of the United States and his guests waiting in
the dining room.
In Topeka, Kan., the state legislature had to pass
hurriedly a law allowing President Ford and Midwest
governors to sip their favorite beverages at their meeting.
Otherwise, President Ford’s tactic of taking
Washington to the provinces is judged a success by
himself and his men.
Ford and dozens of his lieutenants have been making
special trips, alone and in platoons, around America since
early January. Ford ordered the travel to explain his
energy and economic programs and to hear suggestions
and criticism from governors, mayors and citizenry.
Ford himself has gone to Atlanta, Houston, Topeka, Ft.
Lauderdale, New York and South Bend, Ind. But he’s not
the farthest traveler.
In one six-week period in January and February,
Deputy Press Secretary Gerald Warren counted about 150
trips by the President’s men.
A White House tally sheet of the period shown UPI listed
97 trips to 22 cities by 33 presidential aides.
The chief domestic ambassador, judging by the sheet,
was Morton with eleven trips. Agriculture Secretary Earl.
L. Butz and Health, Education and Welfare Secretary
Caspar Weinberger each made nine trips. Treasury
Secretary William Simon took eight trips and Federal
Energy Administrator Frank Zarb went to six cities.
Other traveling salesmen ranged from Vice President
Nelson A. Rockefeller, five trips, to Stan Scott, special
assistant for minority affairs, one trip.
New York was the chief target, getting 25 of the 97 visits,
then Los Angeles with 13, Chicago 11, Atlanta 9, and
Miami 8.
Were these trips necessary? The White House says yes.
Some White House reasons:
—They helped build national momentum for action on
the energy and economic crisis forcing Congress into
action on Ford’s January State of the Union proposals.
—Almost all three dozen governors, mostly Democrats,
Ford has met on the road have applauded publicly the
coming of the Republican President to hear them. Even
Florida’s Ruben Askew and Alabama’s George C. Wallace
both used words like “wonderful” and “excellent” to
describe Ford’s visitations.
—Most governors and mayors met by Ford and his
aides went away saying they would be talking to their
congressional delegations about what was said with Ford.
—The thousands of citizens attending the White House
sponsored conferences on economic and energy problems
in cities across the nation left only little standing room in
the halls. Labor, business, farming, education, science
and finance made them minor mob scenes.
The meet-the-people touring probably will end when
Congress has acted on the economic and energy pro
grams, Warren said.
But he said they have proven too valuable to halt
altogether.
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB — I am
one of 100 persons working in a
sheltered employment situa
tion. Most are seniors, women,
and men, but some teenagers
also.
There is a kitchen which
serves a hot dinner at noon. We
all like the cook but almost
everyday the entree or the
salad and green vegetable are
heavily salted. I have seen the
food left on many plates
because it is “too salty.”
Almost all senior citizens
have problems with salt. We
pay for the noon meal which
costs very little. However, if
you have to pay for the lunch
and can’t eat it there is money
wasted for the employe and
budget funds are also wasted.
Please advise us about the
hazards of too much salt in the
diet for old and young alike.
There are salt shakers on the
tables. It is surely no problem
to measure salt meagerly. In
volume cooking when a recipe
is increased, salt should be used
with restraint.
We don’t want to hurt anyone.
We think a medical opinion will
guide our cook. She is young
enough to learn and will be hap
pier knowing she can make a
beneficial contribution to our
health.
DEAR READER — You have
a good point. It is always easy
to add salt but impossible to
take it out.
Many authorities believe too
much salt in the diet may con
tribute to the development of
high blood pressure. It is
probably wise even for young
people to go easy on salt.
When the body is healthy and
a person drinks plenty of water
the excess salt is simply
eliminated through the kidneys.
A number of medical problems,
though, cause the body to retain
salt. This leads to an accumula
tion of water and can be quite
serious.
Dr. Lamb
The cook adds
too much salt
Women may have salt reten
tion and retain fluid in response
to their normal menstrual cy
cle. Estrogen stimulates salt
retention. Birth control pills
have the same effect and so do
hormones used after the
menopause. When this is fairly
marked, women need to take
pills to cause the kidneys to
eliminate salt and fluid to
relieve the problem.
Progressing along the way,
anyone who has heart disease
with heart failure or requiring
digitalis may have a tendency
to retain salt. The fluid that
might accumulate in this case
can cause real problems by
literally filling the lungs with
fluid and affecting the
breathing. Considering the fre
quency of heart disease in older
people, this is a very important
consideration.
Both liver disease and kidney
disease may cause a retention
of salt and, hence, water. These
conditions that cause fluid
retention can progress to cause
marked swelling of the liver,
abdomen, feet, ankles and fluid
in the lungs. In short, the salt
retention tends to defeat the
doctor’s efforts to prevent
these complications.
In all, there is simply no good
sound medical reason to add
salt to food for a population that
has many people with medical
problems. For those who are
healthy and have no problems
there is always the salt shaker.
The rest would certainly be
healthier if they could avoid the
bad effects of salt in their diet.

Lamb, in care of this
newspaper, P.O. Box 1551,

Lamb’s booklet on losing
weight, send 50 cents and a long

envelope to the same address
