government warning that sac
charin may cause cancer.
“No one’s asking questions.
They are just buying,” said Je
rome Webb, the manager of a
grocery store in Cambridge,
Mass. He reported sales of diet
sodas were about one-third
higher than normal.
In New York, Seattle and At
lanta, supermarkets reported
heavy runs on artificial sweet
eners and higher than normal
sales of diet sodas.
“All our saccharin and arti
ficial sweetener is gone. We ran
out last Friday. We hope to get
some more today, but it is
getting harder to get,” said At
lanta supermarket manager
James Allen McDonald.
At two New York City super
markets, shoppers jammed
aisles where the artificial
sweeteners are stocked.
“I’m not going to buy out the
store, but I will buy more than
usual,” said Illene Davidson as
she picked up four large pack
ages of Sweet ’n Low, a sugar
substitute, explaining that she
normally buys only two at a
time.
The Food and Drug Adminis
tration last week announced
plans to prohibit the general
sale of saccharin after tests in
dicated large doses of the
sweetener caused cancer in
rats.
The FDA said it would be at
least July before the necessary
administrative steps could be
completed for a permanent ban
on saccharin.
Sweet ’n Low is the nation’s
largest selling artificial sweet
ener. Ira Eisenstadt, vice presi
dent of Cumberland Packing
Corp, of New York, which pro
duces Sweet ’n Low, said last
week his plants might have to
close because of the proposed
saccharin ban.
On Monday, however, he said
the firm’s three plants were go
ing on 20-hour work days to try
to keep up with orders.
Goldwaters
(Continued from page 1)
accounts of the series said there was
widespread organized crime in
Arizona, often condoned by political
leaders who profited from associations
with the underworld. The Monday
installment focused on the two
Goldwaters and on a close friend,
Harry Rosenzweig, former Arizona
Republican chairman.
Both Robert Goldwater, who heads
the family business, and Rosenzweig, a
jeweler, were interviewed by IRE
members with their attorneys present.
Barry Goldwater was not. He said he
was forced to cancel one appointment
with the group because of family
obligations; a spokesman for the IRE
said he had canceled two appointments.
Robert and Barry issued statements
Monday on the IRE report. Rosenzweig
was unavailable for comment. A wom
an who answered the telephone at his
home said he was at his store; a
secretary at the store said he would not
be in. Mrs. Rosenzweig, reached at
home Sunday night, said of the series:
“We haven’t seen it.”
Published accounts of the Tuesday
installment said that Rosenzweig, 1975
Phoenix Man of the Year, “has
nurtured prostitution and gambling” in
the Arizona city for years. The stories
on the IRE reports said Rosenzweig
“had documented ties with mob
connected bookmakers and syndicate
hoodlums” instrumental in building up
Las Vegas “as the gambling capital of
the nation.” They also said Rosenzweig
denied influence in gambling rackets
and saying his only connection with
prostitution was “maybe twice”
recommending prostitutes to friends as
an accommodation.
Anthony Insolia, managing editor of
Newsday, the Long Island newspaper,
and story editor for the IRE report
said: “We stand on what we have re
ported and written based on six months
of intensive, dedicated investigation in
Arizona.”
The published accounts said the
Goldwaters and Rosenzweig were
involved in a web of relationships with
underworld lieutenant Meyer Lansky,
but Sen. Goldwater said Monday after
noon: “I never heard of Meyer Lansky
until I talked to Barbara Walters about
20 minutes ago.”
Robert Goldwater, in a telephone call
to The Associated Press in Phoenix on
Monday said of the IRE report: “I
sth district
voters trek
to polls
ATLANTA (AP) — A dozen
candidates crowded the ballot
today in Georgia’s sth Congres
sional District, scrambling for
the fragments of a coalition of
blacks and whites that four
months ago gave a 67 per cent
landslide to Andrew Young, the
first black congressman in the
Deep South since Reconstruc
tion.
Young’s resignation to be
come ambassador to the United
Nations left the Atlanta-area
district without an obvious suc
cessor.
It appeared certain no candi
date would win a majority in the
special non-partisan election
and that there will be a two-man
runoff election on April 5.
Republican and Democratic
leaders predicted the vote
would be so spread out that a
candidate might win a spot in
that runoff with as little as 20
per cent of the vote total.
“It’s a jumbled up mess,”
said Charles Graves, state
Democratic executive director.
District Republicans united
behind state Sen. Paul Cov
erdell, 38, but party infighting
among the several Democrats
running has been fierce.
Black leaders, including
Young, tried to rally black sup
port behind John Lewis, 37,
former director of the Atlanta
based Voter Education Project,
which has registered thousands
of blacks in the South.
But other blacks, including
the Rev. Ralph David Aberna
thy, 51, Martin Luther King
Jr.’s successor as head of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, refused to step
aside.
All of the top six candidates
except Coverdell are Demo
crats. Lewis, Coverdell and At
lanta City Council President
Wyche Fowler, 36, were consid
ered the front-runners to enter
the runoff.
Young has joined other black
leaders in saying it is important
that his seat be retained by a
black.
know that none of my friends will pay
any attention to it. They’ll take it for the
poppycock that it is.”
The published stories said
Rosenzweig confirmed that he had
received a $5,000 contribution from the
late Willie Bioff, described as a
racketeer, which he put into Barry
Goldwater’s 1952 Senate campaign.
Sen. Goldwater said, “That is true.”
But he added that he knew Bioff under
the name Bill Nelson which Bioff used
when he moved to Phoenix in the 19405.
He was murdered in 1955.
The senator also said that he once
gave Bioff and his wife a ride in his
plane from Las Vegas to Phoenix after
there was a problem with the Bioffs’
commercial flight. He said the whole
story had been reported by columnist
Westbrook Pegler about 20 years ago.
Goldwater added today. on “Good
Morning, America,” that after that
plane flight “I think I was at his house
for drinks twice, he lived right down the
street from the golf course."
He said that Bioff had never been
convicted of anything, and that Bioff
had moved to Phoenix under an
assumed name after he “ratted on Al
Capone,” the Chicago mobster.
The published accounts of the IRE
series said Goldwater “flew Bioff to
social events around the state,” and
added that Goldwater continued to as
sociate with Bioff after he learned his
true identity.
The stories also said that both
Goldwaters were friendly with Gus
Greenbaum, described as a Lansky
lieutenant, and stayed at the Flamingo
Hotel in Las Vegas when he operated it.
The stories said the Valley National
Bank —of which Robert Goldwater is a
director — loaned money to help
finance the Flamingo.
Sen. Goldwater said: “I didn’t know
that he (Greenbaum) had any
connection with any gangsters, but I
wouldn’t have been surprised."
Sen. Goldwater said Gus Greenbaum
and his wife were “very respected,
highly thought of as church people.
Later Gus Greenbaum went to Las
Vegas and became manager of the
Flamingo. “When Peggy (Goldwater’s
wife) and I, on rare occasions, would go
up there, we would stay at the
Flamingo.” He said he went to Green
baum’s funeral after Greenbaum and
his wife were murdered in 1958.
