r9 Republicans, Democrats Clash On Fairness of Drum Probe U.S. ills Out Front of SSI %_w i... .i 16- -. W- V i, WASHINGTON () - The wit- ness sat for two hours saying nothing yesterday as Democratic and Republican Senators argued bitterly over whether their sub- committee is conducting a fair in- vestigation into drug prices. Thegnew wrangling - continua- tion of a row that has been going r, Ike To See South Korea WASHINGTON ()-President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday added a one-day visit to South Korea to his projected trip to Russia and Japan in June. The announcement, from Eisen- hower's Augusta, Ga., vacation headquarters, raised possibilities that he might travel also to For- mosa and the Philippines. How-, ever, officials said there are no such plans at present. As matters now stand Eisen- hower will arrive in Moscow from Washington on June 10, tour Russia in a return of Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's visit to America last September, then fly from Siberia to Tokyo on June 19. He will interrupt a June 19-23 stay in Japan to fly to Korea and back on June 22. A Tokyo-Seoul jet flight takes less than two hours. Eisenhower is expected to con- fer with South Korean President Syngman Rhee and visit United States troops stationed on this front line of the cold war. on for months-was touched off by Sens. Everett M. Dirksen (R- Ill) and Roman L. Hruska (R- Neb) who called the inquiry an inquisition. Chairman Estes Kefauver (D- Tenn) retorted that "unless it was a whitewash" nothing in the in- vestigation would please the two GHOP Senators. "As long as I'm chairman, there is not going to be any whitewash," Kefauver said. Dirksen and Hruska insisted they were not seeking a white- wash. The long - silent witness, Dr. William Bean of the State Uni- versity of Iowa medical school staff, didn't seem to mind wait- ing, however. When the Senators tried to apologize for keeping him silent so long, he said: "This looks like fun." Intolerance of Criticism Finally Bean read his statement charging that some big medical societies are so beholden to some free-spending drug manufactur- ers they won't tolerate criticism of the firms' products. Bean said some of the medicines now being put on the market are dangerous and deplorable. Criti cizing what he called shortcuts in clinical trials of some preparations in the race to be first on the market with something new, he said : "There have been a few trage- dies and other near misses. Once sulfonamides (sulfa drugs) were dispensed in a variety of anti- freeze because it was a good sol- vent. Many persons were killed." Bean and a later witness, Dr. Hans Popper of the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, said they believe there should be more continuing research into the pos- sible side effects of new medicines. Side Effects Fatal Popper, a pathologist, testified that side effects of some new med- icines have caused fatalities. He said that under present known testing methods it is not always possible to know before trying them on patients what the side effects may be. Bean proposed creation of a committee representing the medi- cal and pharmaceutical profes- sions to help raise standards and make certain that doctors are properly informed of side effects. Popper endorsed the idea. He also agreed with Bean's sug- gestion that it would be reasonable to give the Food and Drug Admin- istration more authority to keep a continuing check on the effec- tiveness of medicines and to keep an eye on manufacturers' claims. Names No Organization Bean never named any particu- lar medical society or medical journal as the target of his charges. He told reporters he had no direct evidence on this score, but that he could give the Sena- tors the names of people who do have evidence. In reply to a newsman's ques- tions, Bean said he does not be- lieve the American Medical Assn. tries to censor speakers. In his testimony, Bean said, "modern medicine owes a tre- mendous debt to the pharmaceut- ical industry" for developing new drugs. And he said the pharma- ceutical industry is now doing "a splendid job in keeping up stand- ards of purity." The problem, Bean said, is "with companies whose sole concern is business." Cuba .Levels Criticism HAVANA (A) - Letters from Cuba are telling Chilean univer- sity students that President Dwight D. Eisenhower Interfered in Cuban internal affairs through remarks in his letter to the Chi- leans last week. One letter was from Cuban President Osvaldo Dorticos, an- other was from the Cuban Feder- ation of University Students. Both invited students of Chile to come to Cuba and judge the situation for themselves. Dorticos' letter represented the first official reaction here to Eisenhower's declaration that many long-time friends of Cuba believe the Fidel Castro regime has betrayed the ideas of "free- dom of expression, equal protec- tion of the laws and the right freely to choose a representative form of government." Eisenhower was answering criti- cism of United States policy to- ward Cuba as voiced by Chilean students when he stopped in San- tiago six weeks ago on his South American tour. cientific E ducation t'+ Report Says Soviet Union Catching Up IN CALIFORNIA: Nixon Denounces Communism as Issi Cites Small Lead, ADLAI STEVENSON attacks secrecy o 0 Imported Jewelry from mary countries 01 Handcarved Sandalwood boxes 0 DOLLS from India, Pakistan, Jordan and Japan.

Engineering Stevenson Criticizes 'Deception' CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. A)- Adlai Stevenson claimed last night the Eisenhower Administration has practiced deception and "gov- ernment by concealment." "Our own leaders," Stevenson said, "have deceived us by under- rating the magnitude of the crisis." The man who ran for president twice against Dwight D. Eisen- hower, and lost both times, still gave no hint that he would like to head the Democratic ticket again this fall. But he jabbed away not only at Eisenhower, but also at Vice- President Richard M. Nixon. He looked like a politician eager to keep in fighting trim. In his prepared speech for Founder's Day at the University of Virginia, Stevenson said: "Too often our leadership has been hesitant and half-hearted, and has concealed from us the nature and dimensions of the crisis . . . government by con- cealment, by soothing assurances rather than candid communica- tion, cannot be long tolerated if our system is to endure." As recently as 1956, Stevenson said, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was saying that Communism is "a gigantic fail- ure." And, Stevenson continued, "when some of our most distin- guished citizens and generals ex- press concern about the obvious fact that our defenses are not strong as they were, the President becomes angry, Nixon considers that it undermines our security and the Republican National Chairman contributes a sarcastic remark about their 'paper hats and wooden swords'." Stevenson contended the Re- publicans will continue to reach for a slogan instead of a cure in the 1960 campaign. Need for Progress WASHINGTON M)-The United States is still ahead of the Soviet Union in science education, but the Russians are catching up fast, says the director of the National Science Foundation. Alan T. Waterman told a House appropriations subcommittee, in testimony given March 2 and re- leased today: "Out total number of scientists and engineers is still larger, by a small margin, than in the Soviet Union. In certain areas-particu- larly at the most advanced degree levels-our rate of production is still higher than theirs." But, Waterman said, "to main- tain our scientific and technolog- ical supremacy we must intensify our efforts to improve the quality of our education in the sciences at all levels.. Twenty-Two Testify Waterman was one of 22 scien- tists testifying on the comparative merits of science education in the United States and Russia. They urged that the United States devote more effort and money to improving science edu- cation within the present frame- work of the American public school system. Several said the Russian system cannot be import- ed into this country because goals of the two systems are not the same. Harry C. Kelly, associate dit- ector of the NSF, told the sub- committee the Russians are grad- uating about three engineers to our one. They now have a million train- ed engineers, he said, compared with 850,000 in this country. The Soviet plan to graduate 125.000 engineers annually during the next five years; in this country the rate is about 38,000 a year. Kelly, who visited Russia for a month last year, said the Russians have their goals firmly in view, and are willing to work hard now because they are convinced life will be better for their children. "They work as our pioneers did in this country," he said. Situation Not Hopeless Waterman said that "while our situation with respect to educa- tion in the sciences and engineer- ing is serious, it is by no means hopeless . . . it is a good thing that our educational process has been sharply criticized, and that solutions of many kinds are de- grees have been proposed. Out of all this has come a general move- ment which we feel is in the right direction." The question of teachers' salar- ies, he said, "goes to the heart of the whole thing." "In a recent year," Waterman testified, "there were something like 3,600 teachers fully trained for secondary school science. Only a little more than half of them actually took employment as teachers in the secondary schools. Vice President Richard M. Nixon ruled out any possibility. that communism would play any part in the presidential c a m p a i g n through innuendo. Speaking before a group of stu- dents at the University of San Francisco, he also handed an un- expected compliment to former president Harry S. Truman. Nixon, here to open the San Francisco-St. Louis baseball game,. was supposedly making the trip for non-political purposes, but at- tended a student question period before the game. Asked by a San Francisco stu- dent whether a man who stooped to the use of "Communist innuen- do" in the past could qualify to lead the nation as president, Nix- on said that any candidate's atti- tudes toward communism should be discussed in the campaign but only on thebasis of his record, never through innuendo. The question was an obvious allusion to Nixon's campaign for the House and Senate against Democrats Helen Gahagan Doug- las and Jerry Voorhis. Nixon had been criticized in both campaigns for implying that his opponents were sympathetic to communism. Nixon pointed out his repudi- ation of charges that New Hamp- shire Gov'. Wesley Powell made against Sen. John Kennedy con- cerning Kennedy's softness to- ward communism. Nixon stressed non-partisanship more than in the 1952 campaign when he claimed Dean Acheson, then secretary of state, was ap- peasing the Communists in his dealings with them, saying there was little difference between the Republicans and Democrats in their views on Communism. The vice president credited former President Truman with real leadership in making the "difficult decision" to resist Com- munism in Korea 10 years ago and build the hydrogen bomb. Nixon said, in response to a student's query, that he felt the president of the United States should be a leader of public opin- ion, rather than a conciliator. He further said that President Dwight D. Eisenhower "has been FREE DELIVERY e FREE DELIVERY 'I- w J1 w a CC. a W" cc L6 a li.

Kennedy should win the West Virginia primary he would be a "shoo-in" for the Democratic presidential nomination. Also at Stanford, the vice presi- dent came out strongly against the Forand bill, a Democratic measure . which would increase social security taxes to provide improved medical care for the aged. He said that the bill would not include millions of aged persons and that it would lead to a deteri- oration of Amercan medicine.
