Jupiter Missile Is Fired Successfully CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. (UPI) d~ An intermediate range Jupiter missile was successfully fired 1,700 ■ miles down the Atlantic missile ‘ 1 range Wednesday night. It was the ' 19th success in 26 Jupiter firings ■ and the third straight missile success here this week. The 1959 top yield came from a 14-acre field which had been in corn for the last three years. It j was plowed on the contour last, April and disced and dragged | twice. The hybrid seed, Indiana! Certified 851 and AES 808 mixed j for a longer pollenizing season, | ! was planted on the contour May j 9. It was drilled in 38-inch rows j with grains six inches apart, mak- ; ing a population of about 22,000 \ plants an acre. i The field had been heavily manured and bulk fertilizer at the i : rate of 40 pounds of nitrogen, 801 | pounds of phosphate and 120 | pounds potash an acre was plowed I down. Row fertilizer was applied at the rate of 225 pounds of 6-24-24 j an acre. The corn was cultivated; i once and sprayed with 24-D to j i control weeds. The corn was side j [dressed in June with 125 pounds* of liquid nitrogen an acre.

Family Os Five Dies In Oklahoma Fire WEWOKA, Okla. <UPI> — The bodies of a rural Wewoka couple and their three children were found huddled together early today in the burning rubble of their frame home. The victims were Archie P. Houck, believed in his late 30s. his wife, Edna, about 30, and daughters Jeannie, 12, Jeannette, 18, and Anita 5. Firemen said the bodies of the five were huddled together in i what had been a front bedroom :of the six-room frame home. They 'apparently were trapped by flames. The home was just south of Wewoka, in east central Oklahoma. t Firemen recovered the bodies shortly before 7 a.m. The blaze broke out about 2:30 lam. and was reported to firemen I about 30 minutes later by a teen--1 aged girl, who saw flames shootI ing from the house as she drove past it. , i The house had burned to the ground and flames lapped at the debris when a fire company from | Wewoka arrived. Cause of the blaze had not been •determined.

Charges High Price Paid By VA For Drug WASHINGTON HJPI) — Senate investigators charged today that the Veterans Administration paid $136,000 for some “wonder drug”| tablets which Could have bee j bought under competitive bidding for about $38,000The Senate antitrust subcommittee said the VA negotiated the purchase in February, 1958. from Merck and Co., a big pharmaceu-j tical company, at the rate of $136 i for 1,000-tablet bottles. According to the subcommittee, j the VA, a month later, bought the j same amoun on a low bid basis for $38.50 a bottle. As a bidder, Merck dropped its price from $136 to $95 but still was too high, the subcommittee said. It later came i down to $65. At this time, investigators said, j Marck was selling the drug prednisone, used in arthritis treatment, j to druggists for $l7O. The price to; consumers was 3 - . ! John T. Connor, of the j company, was asked how Merck could offer the drug to the VA for I $65 and still defend its $l7O price j to druggists as reasonable. Study “Detail Men” Connor replied that competitive | conditions for government business j were a good deal different from j those in the retail pharmacy trade. For instance, he said, the government buys in large quantities and has its own testing facilities. But Subcommittee Chairman Estes Kefauver < D-Tenn. > said that in his opinion this did not explain such a wide price variance. “Why can’t you give the public a little break?’’ he asked. He said Connor’s arguments were "not very persuasKre.” Later, the subcommittee! planned to inquire into the extent! that the use of “detail men” — j the drug industry’s version of the traveling salesman — influenced drug sales. Counsel Rand Dixon of the Senate anti-trust subcommittee said the group planned to study at some length the activities of the so-called “detail men” employed by big pharmaieutical houses. There has been testimony indicating that they have helped keep prices up and competition down. Distribute Samples The main job of the detail men is to call on doctors to distribute | free samples and relate informaI-—"

tion about new drugs put on the market by the company which employes' them. This is done in hopes that the doctors will use the company's brand name in writing prescriptions for this type of drug. Witnesses have told the subcommittee that .many physicians, particularly general practitioners, rely more on detail men than on medical journals for data on new drugs.

: of detail men is one of the major business expenses of large companies and enables them to sell more drugs than smaller i competitors who have cheaper prices. If a doctor writes down a brand name, the druggist is required to use this particular product in filling the prescription. Oftentimes, the same drug is available at a lesser price under another brand name or under its generic, or chemicalr*name.
