likely to be found in
drugstores. fancy candy
stores and quaint shops in
resort areas
In pre-Prohibition days
every bartender had his own
formula for rock’n rye and
mixed it individually for each
customer.
But rock’n rye was a
comparative luxury even in
those times This reporter’s
mother couldn’t afford it A
teaspoon of plain sugar with
two drops of coal oil in it was
her remedy for a youngster’s
sore throat.
“You don’t really need to
use rye whiskey to make rock
candy sore throat remedy,"
Accola said, “Scotch,
bourbon, rum or brandy will
do just as well and,
remember, it simply soothes,
it isn’t a cure."
Blossom Festival either
before or after the Japanese
cherry trees were in bloom
The president said no, he
was alluding to the number of
Japanese cars on the streets
The foreign minister said
he had indeed noticed this
display of hospitality and
wanted to thank the president
and the American people for
going to so much trouble to
make him feel at home
The president said he ap-
preciated the foreign
minister's sense of gratitude
but felt the foreign minister
should be informed that the
large turnout of Japanese
cars was an everyday
occurrence and not a special
muster in honor of the foreign
minister's visit.
The foreign minister said
that was truly remarkable
and a tribute to Japanese-
American friendship
The president said he was
highly in favor of Japanese-
American friendship but was
dreadfully worried about the
U.S. auto industry. He won-
dered if the foreignminister
saw any cause-and-effect
relationship between woeful
conditions in the U.S. auto
industry and the number of
Japanese cars on American
streets
The foreign minister said
such a connection had not
occurred to him However, he
said a ton of bricks didn't
have to fall on him to get a
point across Any export
cutback would severely
damage the Japanese auto
industry, he added
The president asked about
the possibility of selling
Japanese cars in Japan
The foreign minister said
that was certainly a novel
suggestion He said he would
study it further when he got
back home.

NEW YORK (UPI) -
Dryden & Palmer is the kind
of dignified old New England
name you'd expect to find for
the only remaining American
manufacturer of rock candy
The Norwalk, Conn., firm is
the only survivor of seven
manufacturers who lasted for
a while after the advent of
national Prohibition
destroyed their biggest
market, the dispensing of
rock’n rye in saloons as a
sovereign (and delightful)
remedy for sore throat
There are historical
records showing that rock
candy was used to treat sore
throat as early as 200 A D
Shakespeare mentions it in at
least one of his plays, "Henry
IV."
But when Prohibition
closed the saloons for 13
years, the makers of
medicated cough drops
stepped in with a vengeance
and grabbed rock candy's
major American market.
Gradually the making of rock
candy in the home stopped
too. It's a simple but tedious
process that takes seven
days
And it still takes seven days
at Dryden 4 Palmer's
Norwalk plant, according to
Vice President A John
Accola, Jr. Rock candy
simply is pure, double refined
and crystallized cane sugar
Nowadays, most rock

Detroit’s other problem
The administration apparently has reached a decision as to
what to do about the problem of the slipping U.S auto indus-
try and rising Japanese imports
And that is to do nothing tor the time being in the expecta-
lion that, nevertheless, something will be done
What is described as a consensus position has emerged from
a Cabinet-level debate between free-traders and import-
limiters There is to be no American action, neither the estab-
lishment of quotas nor a request to the Japanese that they
hold down exports to this country it is, however to be made
abundantly but unofficially clear to the Japanese that they are
free to act on their own to precisely the same end
Great Except that the Japanese already have made it
abundantly dear that-in the absence of a direct deal with
Washington they cannot or will not do anything in part, it is
reported, because of concern that any restraint arrangement
solely of their own devising might get them into antitrust
troubles in the United States
That may or may not be the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth But there's enough of it there to justify
Tokyo's sitting tight and waiting for Washington to make
another move
Which, if Washington is paying any attention at all to the
American press it will not do For if there is one thing that is
perfectly clear about the auto-import issue, It is the near una-
nimity of editorial opinion in opposition to bolstering the U S
industry at the cost of impeding trade and restricting cor ipe-
tition for the consumer dollar
To the Wall Street Journal, "a quota is a quota, whether
legislated or negotiated," and the results would be undesirable
in either case - reducing consumer choice, lessening pressure
on I' S producers to lower costs and increase productivity and
giving another inflationary boost to prices
That is theme being repeated so frequently it becomes a
chorus The Christian Science Monitor asks what the car mak-
ers are doing to solve their "self-created problems" and does
not find the answers reassuring "The fact is that (they) are in
trouble because they have priced themselves out of the
market And they have priced themselves out of the market
because they have not cinched their belt and moderated wage
settlements. Why should the American consumer have to
pay when the industry itself — management and labor — is
unwilling to bite the bullet?"
A question both the St Louis Post-Dispatch and the Provi-
dence. R I Bulletin also raise, with the latter adding that "to
support the highest-paid workers in American industry, at an
estimated cost of $50,000 per job saved, is a travesty.”
The Chicago Sun-Times sees auto protectionism as protec-
tionism "under whatever guise,” and the Rapid City. S.D.,
Journal observes that consumers are already paying the price
of protectionism in the form of higher steel costs charged by a
protected U.S industry that Detroit now passes on to its
customers
The Des Moines Register reads quotas as "a dangerous step
toward increased government involvement in private
enterprise” and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram warns that the
result could be a government-engineered monopoly situation,
and history teaches us that when monopolies are created,
consumers lose "
The Worcester. Mass. Gazette observes that the Japanese
are showing how competition can work if it is allowed to
Some Americans are all for competition — unless it comes
from Japan "
There is more, much more, but you get the idea It's all
pretty much along the same editorial line and far from offer-
ing aid and comfort to Detroit in a time of troubles, it raises
vet another question as to the competency of the auto makers
at managing their own affairs.
What, a serious reader may wonder. have they got to show
for all that money poured into public relations over the years"’
present models and could
save $200 million over a 10-
year period. Julie claims
Julie is not the only one
who's impressed with his
brainchild One of the
government's top intelli-
gence experts told my asso-
ciates Indy Badhwar and
Charles Bermant The Julie
equipment is a technological
breakthrough."
Private purchasers like
Grumman Aircraft have
used Julie's calibrator and
have praised it Officials of
the Army's own Harry Dia-
mond Laboratory and the
White Sands Missile Range
have attested to the Julie
system's greater compe-
tence A months-long inves-
tigation by the General
Accounting Office turned up
not a single error in Julie s
books
And the Russians want
Julie's calibrator While he
was running into bureau-
cratic brick walls at the
Pentagon. Soviet represent-
atives invited him to
Moscow, where in 1977 he
met with several high-level
scientists The Russians
placed an order But when
he got home. Julie decided
he didn't want to sell his
marvelous machine to the
Kremlin, and tore up the
order.
"The Julie technology
would help the Russians
improve the accuracy of
Soviet missiles by 10 per-
cent to 15 percent, which is
enough to knock out our
land-based Minuteman
missiles," an intelligence
source told us.
Only the Pentagon gener-
als remained unimpressed
They juggled cost figures
and test results to prove that
Julie's equipment couldn't
possibly be as good as
claimed At one point, he
says, they arbitrarily tripled
his offering price to make
their current calibrators
look better
In desperation, Julie
turned to a secret weapon
ridicule. He hired a cartoon-
ist. Dick Hafer, to produce a
comic book telling the JRL
story It is factual, funny -
and devastating in its cari-
catures of Pentagon brass.
The comic book may have
hardened the Army gener-
als' hearts, but it succeeded
in catching the attention of
several influential members
of Congress, including Rep
Les Aspin, D-Wis., and Rep
Ted Weiss, D-N Y Their
investigators are now look-
ing into Julie's charges of
Army waste and miscon-
duct
Last week, Julie acknowl-
edged ruefully that maybe
all his troubles with the Pen-
tagon can be traced to the
name of his calibrator It’s
called'LOCOST"
Footnote: A government
spokesman insisted the
Army's calibration system
“is the best anyone has going
today We just didn't have
a requirement for what
Julie offered "
SILVER THREADS If
past performance is any
guide. President Reagans
proposal to sell 50 million
ounces of silver from the
nation's strategic stockpile
will be opposed by a group
of congressional conserva-
tives led by Rep Larry
McDonald, D-Ga.
A true believer in stock-
piling silver ingots,
McDonald successfully tor-
pedoed a similar sale pro-
posal in 1979 But while he
was doing it, McDonald
accepted a $2,000 campaign
contribution from a Dallas
silver trader The Justice
Department told my office
that the circumstances of
the contribution made it ille-
gal
Here's what happened: In
November 1979, McDonald
held a hearing on a bill he
introduced that called for
the purchase of $500 million
in silver for the national
stockpile Among the wit-
nesses who supported the
bill was Scott Dial, a 29-
year-old silver trader Any
government purchases
would have jacked up the
price of silver.
After testifying on Nov
28. Dial said lie dropped by
McDonald's House office
and delivered two $1,000
checks He says he can't
remember if he gave them
to McDonald or the
congressman's secretary In
either case, according to the
Justice Department, it was
illegal to accept money
inside a federal building.
McDonald's office refused
to comment Meanwhile, he
has introduced another bill
calling for the purchase of
silver

WASHINGTON (UPI) -
W hat must have been some of
the most subtle negotiations
in modern times took place
during the recent U.S. visit of
Japanese Foreign Minister
Masayoshi Ito
According to published re-
ports. President Reagan
wanted to presuade Ito to cut
back auto exports to America
without actually asking Ito to
cut back auto exports
Although we won't know
how well he succeeded until
we count the number of
Japanese cars that reach our
shores in coming months,
administration officials seem
to feel the oblique approach
hit home
One cabinet member com-
mented that the Japanese
were “very astute" and thus
able to figure out "what we
were saying."
Not having a transcript of
the Reagan-Ito talks, I cannot
tell you exactly what was
said. But from various second
hand interpretations, I
surmise that the meeting
went something like this:
The president welcomed
the foreign minister to the
W hite House and asked what
had brought him to America
The foreign minister
replied that he came here
under the impression the
president had something
important to discuss with
him
The president said that as a
matter of fact there was a
little matter he wanted to
take up He asked if the
foreign minister had noticed
anything curious during his
visit.
The foreign minister asked
if the president were
referring to the custom of
staging the annual Cherry

WASHINGTON - Loeb
Julie is a 60-year-old inven-
tor and businessman, the son
of Polish immigrants His
given name means "lion."
and right now he is roaring
with outrage at the U.S.
Army.
The thorn in Loeb Julie's
paw is the Army's stubborn
refusal to purchase the high-
technology, low-cost calibra-
tors his company makes,
sticking instead to more
expensive, less efficient cali-
brators - including even
outmoded manually operat-
ed models
Calibrators, it should be
explained, are vital to the
efficient operation of mili-
tary equipment Even your
neighborhood grocer s scales
must be calibrated regularly
to insure honest measure for
your money
In the military, improper
calibration is far more cost-
ly than an ounce or two of
pastrami or cheese Poorly
calibrated torque wrenches
used to tighten bolts in
Army helicopters, for exam-
ple. were a cause of crashes
in the Vietnam War
What has infuriated Julie
is that the Army deliberate-
ly rejected his improved cal-
ibration equipment in favor
of inferior machines, and
then justified its decision
with a runaround that reads
like a combination of Franz
Kafka and “Catch-22."
As part of my continuing
series on waste in the Penta-
gon. here's Loeb Julie's
story
Julie grew up in The
Bronx, where his father
owned a small bakery He
earned an engineering
degree, turned to inventing
and sank the family's entire
savings - $19,000 - into

ratories.

Advice From
A Physician
By Lawrence Lamb. M.D.
DEAR DR LAMB - I am
15 years old and have a prob-
lem that is becoming very
embarrassing I have an erec-
tion whenever I am exposed
to anything to do with sex or
nudity Sometimes I have one
for no reason at all. Will this
stop eventually or what?
DEAR READER - You
may not understand this now,
but believe me, when it stops
men tend to get rather upset
The years of sexual matu-
ration are often disturbing to
young people, particularly if
they do not fully understand
what is happening. There is
nothing wrong with you.
Your brain is programmed,
probably from birth or even
sooner, as to when you are
going to mature sexually
That includes when your body
is going to start producing a
lot of male hormones When
that stage arrives, you will
have reactions and there is
nothing much you can do
about it
You may be surprised to
learn that all mature normal
males have erections every
night during their sleep, usu-
ally three or four times at a
minimum. It occurs from
brain activity and has been
correlated with one phase of
the sleep cycle called the
REM phase (rapid eye move-
ment phase)
Erections even occur in the
male fetus in the uterus
before birth.
Although getting an erec-
tion is quite normal, the trick
is learning not to let it happen
in such a way that it is obvi-
ous in a socially unacceptable
situation.
A little more knowledge
about how your body works
would undoubtedly be helpful
to you, so I am sending you
The Health Letter number 17-
4. Male Reproductive Func-
tions Others who want this
issue can send 75 cents with a
long, stamped, self-addressed
envelope for it to me, in care
of this newspaper, P.O Box

York, NY 10019
You might find that wear-
ing the briefs style of under-
wear helps to provide some
social insurance Later, if you
need to increase your fertility,
there is some evidence that
such binding garments are a
hindrance, as discussed in The
Health Letter I am sending
you.
DEAR DR LAMB - Is
there any way I call get H3
(procaine) treatments for my
husband9 He is in a nursing
home Why should this medi-
cation be withheld from him?
He is senile and has organic
brain damage Sometimes he
is able to talk to me and other
times he has impaired speech.
H3 has been tried in other
countries with great success
DEAR READER - That
depends upon what you mean
by great success. You are
referring to Gerovital, which
was a mystery drug supposed
to do all sorts of wonderful
things. Well, it is the same
thing your dentist injects
around your teeth to prevent
pain. Ana Aslan of Bucharest
popularized it at the end of
world War II It has been
claimed to cure everything
from baldness to impotence,
with wrinkles thrown in — the
usual approach we had when
traveling medical shows
marketed snake oil.
Asian's subjects did show
improvement, but because
they exercised, ate right and
someone took an interest in
them Gerovital is being stud-
ied in this country and it is
used as an antidepressant It
has not been proved to have
any anti-aging properties.
