In infancy, humans not only have taste receptors on the tongue but on the lips and in the throat, a fact that is significant in development oflater tastes, the dentist noted. “Babies who are bottle-fed, and they perhaps represent the majority of infants, are being fed a sweet- tasting, high-carbohydrate diet from birth, he said. “These infants grow into toddlers who may very well desire sweets because of their previous feeding experience, Ozick said. Canned baby foods also contri bute to further development of a sweet tooth, he said, because even foods that are naturally sweet have added sugar. “By the time a child reaches the age of 3 or 4, a sugar-consuming preference has been strongly in grained in his eating habits,” he said. Producers blame price controls Associated Press HOUSTON — Independent producers said Tuesday oil and natural gas price controls should be removed in that they are the prim ary cause of the nation’s energy shortages. A national energy' policies state ment adopted by the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) also said Congress should re store the depletion allowance and other tax incentives that were re duced in 1969 and 1975. Such tax actions, the indepen dents said, have discouraged domestic petroleum exploration and development at a time every possible drilling rig should be in use. Congress reduced the depletion tax allowance from 27% per cent to 22 per cent in 1969 and practically eliminated the allowance last March. C. John Miller, president of the 4,100-member trade group said Tuesday he was not impressed by the March efforts by Congress to retain part of the allowance.for in dependents. “ By the time they encumbered it with so many limitations, it was meaningless, said the Allegan, Mich., independent. A natural gas report adopted at the concluding session of the associ ation’s annual meeting said a gas de control bill approved by the Senate last week was made almost ineffec tive by amendments sponsored by' Sens. Ernest F. Hollings, D-S. C., John Glenn, D-Ohio, and John V. Tunney, D-Calif. The amendments limit the amount of new gas that woidd be decontrolled and set a price ceiling on emergency sales. The independents said the amendments severely limit the amount of natural gas which would become available for interstate con sumers. “The overall result of the action of these senators and their supporters is to mislead consumers into believ ing some significant action has been taken which will provide a substan tial answer to our critical natural gas TV Review shortage when in fact they' have merely prolonged the crisis and de layed the time when real progress toward increasing natural gas pro duction can begin,” the gas report said. The new female By CAROL SHAKESHAFT Reviewer Television has been doing an un usual thing lately. It has, in some exciting new shows, been portraying women as strong, interesting individuals. A worth listening to, worth watching. The major networks have made a timid start, but public television is the good guy. PBS has four programs about women currently running. The first is a series on “Masterpiece Theatre,” Sundays at 9 p.m., called “Shoulder to Shoulder. This is an excellent recreation of the women’s rights movement in the late eighteen-early nineteen hundreds England, which was spearheaded by the Pankhurst family. This look at some earlier feminists shows the “weaker sex militantly demanding their rights by storming Parliament, throwing rocks through windows, and going to prison where they were force fed. This is a fascinating series; one of “Masterpiece Theatre s best. A look at women of today is pre sented by 7 PBS on Tuesday nights in two shows, “Women Alive and “Woman. ” “Women Alive is a ten part series in magazine format which the producer, Ronnie Eldridge says is a documentation of what “we con sider to be the woman s move ment.” The first show presented a look at Army wives and was filmed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. It discussed the role these women play and many of the changes that are occur ring in that role. In addition, Gretchen Cry'er and Nancy Ford, musicians and composers, per formed, and Shiela Tobias, a college administrator, discussed “Math An xiety” and what is being done to alleviate women’s fear of mathema tics. The second episode on Oct. 28 at 9 p.m. will feature a documentary exploring how women are breaking traditional female stereotypes in jobs, and the New York Lyric Arts Trio will perform. i “Woman/ yvhjeh follows at 9:30 p.m., attempts to present women, some well-known, some not, through in-depth interviews. Elizabeth Janeway, author and lec turer was the subject of a two part interview, the second part shown Oct. 28, in which she discussed the woman s movement, the bene fits men derive from it, discrimination of both sexes based on age, and female assertiveness. It is unfortunate that these two prog rams appear back-to-back. Schedul ing would insure a larger audience and dispell the suspicion that the station is trying to get them out of the way. “Jennie: Lady Randolph Chur chill is PBS s final offering and is an excellent series about Jennie Chur chill, the mother of Winston. This fascinating and strong woman is protrayed by' Lee Remick, and the program is not only interesting his torically', it is good fun to watch. Commercial television is more careful with its programs for wo men. “Babe,” was a one-shot at tempt, and the story of a champion woman athlete.
