Carter, speaking before an es- timated 4,000 people at Boston' College in Newton, said that it was a "disgrace" for the govern- ment to allow "foreign countries to tell American business that 'you can't do business with us if you've got Jews on your Board of Directors.' " He later told the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations' that if he were President, he "would never again yield to Arab embargoes" and that he would "instantly prohibit the sale of anything to countries which embargo us.'' Carter told the Boston College audience that he sensed a "deep hunger to restore the precious things we've lost in the last eight yea rs,' and that the current state of the economy is "not compati- ble withl the character of our nation.'' He accused the Republican Party of gathering every four years to "endorse for three months what they've fought against for three years and nine months." The Democratic nominee charged that Gerald Ford had "no energy policy, no transporta- tion policy, and no education policy," and promised that if elected he would stress increased use of coal and solar energy in- stead of oil. He also said that he would deal with energy shortages "on an equitable basis" to ensure t-hat New England "doesn't get caught short." He did riot state his positions on transportation or education. The former Georgia governor received a tremendous ovation when he said that "our unfair tax structure is just a welfare system for the rich -it's got to be made fair for the American people- and it's got to be done this year." C a r t e r w as g re ete d enthusiastically at Boston Col- lege, the third largest- Catholic University in the United States. He was joined on the podium by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, former Speaker of the House John McCormack, and Father J. Donald Monan, S.J., the presi- dent of Boston` College. Kennedy, who is a trustee of Boston College, introduced Carter and predicted that the Democratic candidate would car- ry Massachusetts in November "overwhelmingly." Carter rater said that he hoped this state would provide him with his largest margin of victory of any state, as he claimed Georgia did for John F. Kennedy in 1960. Ac- tually, the Georgia margin of vic- tory for Kennedy that year was 63 per cent, second only to Rhlode Island's 64 per cent. Carter's approach was significantly milder than that used earlier this week on the west coast. He avoided discussing the President's golf trips, and hi's per- sonal remarks on Ford were limited to the leadership issue. "When there is no leadership in the White House," Carter said, "there is no leadership." At one point he lapsed into his familiar primary campaign style, stressing the themes of-"love" and "compassion." He said that this year marked the end of "racial, religious and 'sexual prejudice," and he compared his quest for Catholic support in the North to John Kennedy's for Protestant support in the South in 1960. The Carter entourage was heckled by anti-abortionists at Boston College and at other places along his motorcade route. A small number of Ford-Dole backers were in attendance as well. The candidate arrived twenty minutes late at the Logan Airport Ramada Inn to speak at a private reception for area Democratic leaders and campaign staff. He spent the morning campaigning in Buffalo, and left for Portland, Maine immediately after his Boston visit. D~ue to the record size of this year's freshman class at Wel- lesley College, twenty-three Wellesley students are being housed in a portion of Wel- lesily's Simpson Infirmary.

The Elliotts, however, asserted that technology - defined by Ruth Elliott as a "rational order of means to reach desired ends" - is not an "unnatural" thing, and that the process of mechani- zation and automation is not inherently destructive.

By Nivin PeiScientists must cooperate in the

study of food preparation andstorage to halt the growingproblem with food poisoning,salid Betty C. Hobbs at a sym-posiUll entitled "Better Food:The Science of Nutrition, Safetyand Flavor," on Tuesday.

The United Kingdom is havingmliany difficulties with foodposioning today, said Hobbs,former Director of the FoodHygiene Laboratory of the PublicHealth Laboratory Service. Inorder to study this complexproblem and eradicate it, it is ab-solutely imperative that industrialmicrobiologists, veterinarians,physicians, and epidemiologistscooperate.

She cited as an example a re-cent outbreak of food poisoningwhich was discovered andbrought under control in onecounty by the united efforts ofmany scientists.

The education of. people, par-

h o use wi ves , i n t he p ro perpreparation and storage of foodto prevent spoilage and foodpoisoning was an area aboutwhich Hobbs was especially ada-mant.

Architects and builders mustlearn to design kitchens so that.raw foods may be kept separatefrom cooked foods and an areashould be set aside for the quickcooling of foods, said Hobbs.

The ingenuity of engineers isalso very -desirable, said Hobbs,because new mecllanical ap-plicances that can be easily disas-sembled for cleaning are needed.

Dorothy F. Hollingsworth,

OBE, one of the two otherspeakers at the symposiumbesides Hobbs, addressed herselfmainly to the problem of dietarytrends.

Hollingsworth, Director-General of the British NutritionFoundation, noted that as the af-fluence of a population increases,the dietary intake changes. Moreaffluent populations tend to con-sume less carbohydrates andmore fat and sugar.

People must be educated as tothe dietary requirements ofhealthy living. Minimum daily re-quirements must also be revisedsaid Hollingsworth.

But according to Rose MariePangborn, Professor of FoodScience at the University ofCalifornia at Davis, food must bemore than just nutritious, it mustbe palatable as well.

Pangborn, who is doingresearch on sensory perception offood, noted that many factors caninfluence taste. Smoking, one ex-

ample she cited, has the tendencyto decrease intensity of taste.

Another factor influencingtaste 'is visual stimuli. "If

10Benjamin Franklin or AbrahamLincoln were to take a quick tourof one of our supermarkets, theywould probably not recognizetwo-thirds or even seven-eighthsof the foods being sold and mightnot' be able to distinguish ourfoods from our toys," saidPangborn.

Although recent studies havebeen done on sensory perceptionof food and much work has beendone to make artificial foodspalatable, these areas as well asareas of food safety and nutritionare still in. the early stages ofdevelopment, Hobbs said.,
