THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION launched its
broadest attack to date on combination drugs yesterday, ordering
off the market49 commonly used antibiotics which it said are
ineffective or dangerous.
The action involving 21 drug-makers came three weeks after
a House subcommittee accused the FDA of dragging its feet in the
long campaign to regulate the rapidly increasing popularity of com-
bination drugs.
The subcommittee also accused the FDA of concealing for 10
weeks a white paper that had described most of the drugs as unsafe.
The study by the National Academy of Sciences and the National
Research Council said that combination drugs can cause adverse
side effects ranging from minor skin rashes to death.
FDA Commissioner Herbert Ley told the subcommittee that he
withheld the report because he wanted to. act against all suspected
antibiotic combinations, at one time rather than piecemeal.
GENERAL JOHN D. RYAN, former chief of the Strategicg
Air Command, will become the next Air Force chief of staff,
Pentagon sources announced yesterday.
Ryan, 53 years old, is being elevated from vice chief of staff and
will succeed General John P. McConnell, whose term expires August 1.
Upon confirmation by the Senate, he will serve a four-year term
and will sit with the Joint Chiefs of Staff along with the top officers
in the Army, Navy, and Marines.

PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL Golda Meir yesterday called
on the big powers to end their search for a Mideast settlement,
and to leave the Arabs and Israelis to negotiate their own peace.
In London, for Mideast talks with Prime Minister Harold Wilson
and other British leaders, Mrs. Meir contended the big power talks
had relieved Arab leaders of a need to face reality and deal directly
with Israel.
Representatives of the four big power nations-the United States,-
Soviet Union, Great Britain, and France--are meeting in New York
on Mideast peace possibilities. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko currently is in Cairo conferring with President Gamal
Abdel Nasser on acceptability of peace proposals put forward by the
United States and others.

THE PROVISIONAL REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT OF
SAIGON yesterday replaced the Viet Cong's National Libe'ration
Front as a bargaining agent at the Paris peace talks.
The United States and South Vietnam averted what might have
developed into a major controversy by declaring that the change was
one of name only and it would have no effect on the character.of the,
talks. The newly-named government includes the Viet Cong and
groups backed by the guerrillas and North Vietnam.
Nguyen Thi Binh, who replaced Tran Buu Kiem as head of the
delegation, formally notified the delegates assembled at the twenty-
first full-scale session of the talks that the NLF had transferred all
its state 'functions to the provisional government.
South Vietnam's chief negotiator, Plan Dang Lam, ignored the
new developments in his prepared speech, but he circulated a state-
ment formally declaring his government's nonrecognition of the
new regime.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT has ordered the South
Carolina Medical College Hospital in Charleston, South Carolina,
to rehire twelve blacks whose dismissal in March touched off a
strike by 500 other employes.
Re-employment is one the workers' demands for settlement.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare, in a letter
dated June 5, directed the hospital to return the twelve to its staff
with back pay or face the loss of at least $12-million in Federal funds.
"I don't know what we will do," said William D. Huff, a Medical
Colege vice president yesterday.
ege y - pres
landing Wins
final approval
WASHINGTON (A} - The space agency gave the signal
yesterday for a July 16 launch of man's first attempt to land
on the moon.
If preparations for Apollo 11 continue to go smoothly,
Neil A. Armstrong, 38, Col. Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., 39, and Lt.
Col. Michael Collins, 38, will be launched from Cape Kennedy,
Fla., at 9:32 a.m. EDT Wednesday, July 16.
On this schedule, Armstrong and Aldrin will touch down
cautiously on the moon in the spidery lunar module at 2:22
p.m. EDT July 20, on the Sea of Tranquility.
At 10 minutes past midnight July 21, Armstrong is to
step down from the spacecraft to become the first human be-
ing to set foot on the moon.?

MAFIA PROBSE:
Keleygrand jury
unaffected b bl
LANSING R)---Atty. Gen. Frank
Kelley's request for a one-man
grand jury investigation of organ-
ized crime in Oakland County
would not be affected by pending
legislation to do away with single-
juror probing.
The bill, which now faces Sen-
ate consideration after a 99-0
House approval Wednesday, pro-
poses to expand citizen grand
jury powers effective Oct. 1 in
replacement of one-man grand
juries.
Any "proceedings pending" at
that time, however, would con-
tinue under present grand jury
provisions of the criminal code.
Thus, an investigating judge.
armed with power to subpoena
witnesses, grant them immunity
from prosecution orcharge them
with contempt of court for fail-
ure to cooperate would have one
year to seek information for in-
dictments in Oakland County.
Critics of the one-man system,
instituted in 1917, have charged it
is costly, inefficient and subject
to political influence.
Senate adoption of the measure
is uncertain'. previous attempts
to eliminate the lone juror have
failed there.
Leon Cohan, deputy attorney
general said, "it really is impos-
sible" to determine if the- Kelley
probe will be the 'last one-man
grand jury.
The two ranking members of
the Senate Judiciary Committee
meanwhile, disagreed on the
chances of the house bill creating
a citizens' grand jury system to
replace the one-man grand jury
passing the Senate.
Sen. Robert Huber (R-Troy), a
critic of . Kelley's Mafia probe,
said he did not think the meas-
ure would gain Senate approval.
"People are finding out that
one-man grand juries, honestly
have not been producing bad re-
sults," he said.
U.S.bloceks'
Cleaver funds
WASHINGTOt (/)-The Treas-'
ury Departrfhent has blocked the
U.S. financial assets 'of black
militant Eldridge Cleaver on
grounds that he is illegally in
Cuba, the State Department said
yesterday.
Press officer Robert J. McClos-
key said the clampdown on Cleav-
er's funds was taken under Cuban
control regulations issued under
the Trading with the Enemy Act.
Cleaver, a leader in the Black
Panther organization and author
of the best-selling look "Soul on
Ice," is wanted in California to
serve out a 13-year prison sen-
tence for assault with intent to
kill and assault with a deadly
.weapop.
Aldrin will j oi n him about
half an hour later.
The astronauts are to leave the
moon at 12 noon July 21 to rejoin
Collins in t h e moon-orbiting
command module.
After a three-day return trip,
,they are to splash down in the
Pacific near the aircraft carrier
Hornet, north of the Equator near
Johnston Island, at 12:52 p.m.
July 24.
This schedule became firm fol-
lowing a telephone conference yes-
terday among key officials of the
program.
Prior to that, there had been a
possibility that the mission would
be postponed for one month to
provide more time for training and
for study of the problems that de-
veloped during the Apollo 10 mis-'
sion arbund the moon.,
In a five-page announcement,
the National Aeronautics a n d
Space Administration said the de-
cision to continue preparations for
the July 16 launch was based in
large part "on a review of 'the
current status a n d remaining
training schedule for the Apollo
11 astronauts and the ground
flight control team" and on a re-
view of Apollo 10 flight difficul-
ties.
The agency left the way open
fdr slight changes if they become
necessary.
"At any time between now and
launch on July 16, we will not hes-
itate to postpone if we feel we are
not ready in every way," said Lt.
Gen. Sam C. Phillips, Apollo pro-
gram director.
"Nor, once the voyage has be-
gun would we hesitate to bring
the crew home immediately if we
encounter problems," he added.
The planned moon landing is to
take place in sunlight at a 10 de-
gree angle so that surface con-
ditions are clearly defined by deep
shadows.
While Aldrin photographs the
event with a color television cam-
era, Armstrong will descend onto
the moon and collect a scoopfull
of luna.r surface material.
Armstrong then will photograph
Aldrin when he emerges.
The men will deposit on. t h e
moon surface an experiment pack-
age to measure moon quake ac-
tivity after they leave.

Tax reief
added, to
surtaxbill
WASHINGTON(A'-Relief 'for
lowest-income taxpayers was tied
to a bill extending the surtax yes-
terday in a bid for quick conres
sional approval of President Nix
on's anti-inflation program.
The House Ways and Means
Committee agreed informally on
the package, which has the ap-
proval of be administration and'
leaders of both parties in the
House.
°Bu.t Democrats insisting ow
broader tax reform now and only
a limited extension of the surtax
said they will try to defeat the
measure unless they can reshape
it to their liking.
The committee ordered the bill
drafted for a vote Monday. Acting
Chairman Hale Boggs (D-ILa.)
predicted committee approval and
House leaders prepared for quieki
action thereafter.
Unless House and Senate comi-
,plete action earlier, the staX
expires at mlc night June 30-a,'
deadline that wil be hard to meet
under the most favorable circum-
stances.
The key "sweetener" added to
the surtax extension measure is a
Nixon Treasury proposal estimat-
ed to relieve 2 million low income
families entirely of income tax and
to provide some tax relief for a
total of 13 million persons.
It is a graduated 10 w income
allowance that would be added to
the present standard deduction.
The sliding scale is computed
according to family size so that
no family at the officially deter-
mined poverty level would be i-
able to tax. For incomes above
that level, the allowance would
scale down and disappear.'
For example: A family of four
now is considered to be at t h e
poverty level if its income Is $3,-
500. But under present law it
would begin paying t a x on In-
come over $3,000. The tax would
be $74 at income of $3,500.
Under the proposal, there would
be no tax due at $3,500. The fam-
ily would get some tax relief so
long as its income did not exceed
$4,500.
