FDA Delay In Banning Drug Is Assailed WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D-Minn., said today that after several months of ignoring medical advice, the Food and Drug Administration is about to ban pre-natal use of a drug potentially fatal to unborn babies. In a harshly critical statement, Humphrey charged that the FDA is acting only after a “behind-the-scenes battle of more than a year and a public airing of the situation." He said the agency is reported to be preparing an order eliminating use of vitamin K-3, or menadione, from pre-natal supplements. Dr. John O- Nestor, a pediatrician employed by the FDA, had charged before Humphrey’s international health subcommittee last week that K-3 appears on the market in supplements, some of which can be purchased without a prescription. He said no nmedical officials in the FDA had overruled medical advice within the agency that the drug may cause “brain damage, spasticity and death” to the newborn. Humphrey said he will present “additional strong evidence” on dangers of the drug in a Senate speech Friday, making the K-3 case appear “even more incredible than it did at the outset.” “It was, first, curious that nonmedical officers in FDA chose to fight so long and so tenaciously, despite thick folders full of medical evidence from non - governmental sources pointing the dangers of vitamin K-3,” he said. “Now,‘ we learn that in the same federal department, the National Institutes of Health had also publicly expressed concern over Vitamin K-3." Further, Humphrey said, the subcommittee "has just learned” that 2% months before Dr. Nestor testified, the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Blindness had made a “brief but solid criticism" of the practice of giving high doses of vitamin K-3 to pregnant women. REPORTS (Continued from Page One) teachers up to $1,200 for certain veteran teachers. Robert Wyatt, executive secretary of the Indiana State Teachers Association, who at first had tried to keep the disputed bill with the S4OO raise alive, later told newsmen he suggested recalling it. He said he did not want to catise ill. feeling between the House and the Senate which might prevent them from proceeding with the budget, tax program and reapportionment. Committees Study Problems The lawmakers, with only 24 days of a special session left, have dumped these three major problems into the hands of three conference committees. The committees were unable to get down to work Wednesday because their members were involved in settling the conflict that arose over the teacher bill. However, all three committees held closed-door sessions Wednesday night in the hope of achieving programs which would be acceptable to a majority in House and Senate. Rep. John Coppes, chairman of the joint tax conference committee, proposed a 2 per cent sales tax and revisions in the gross income tax to produce new income of $lB7 million for the next two

Asian Flu Outbreak Possible In West By United Press International A chance of an outbreak of Asian flu on the West Coast is still possible, the U.S. Communicable Disease Center warned today, but the epidemic that felled thousands elsewhere in the nation has waned. A spokesman for the center in Atlanta, Ga., said the epidemic definitely had passed its crest in the eastern and midwestern states “We are watching the West Coast,” he said. “There have been isolated cases in California but no evidence there will be an epidemic in that state.” . About 200 of the 4,000 elderly patients in a state hospital in San Joaquin County were stricken with an unidentified respiratory ailment. In northern California, 11 cases of influenza were reported, but the patients separated as much as 200 to 300 miles. Los Angeles epidemiologist B. A. Kogan said chances were better than 50 per cent an outbreak of Asian flu would occur in about two weeks. Washington state officials confirmed the fourth case of Asian flu in the state Wednesday and studied blood specimens that could be flu. School absenteeism was reported slightly above average by the respiratory ailment. Asian flu also was confirmed in ArizonaIdaho flu cases showed a big increase last week. The number of reported patients jumped from 123 the previous week to 633. In lowa, an outbreak of flu reached epidemic proportions in Des Moines. The outbreak first appeared about two weeks ago, the city - county health director, James F. Speers, said, and was expected to last another two or three weeks. The hardest hit areas earlier this year were in southwestern Ohio, Alabama and Baltimore, where it was believed the first case occurred in a military camp early in January. The Communicable Disease Center said its weekly report will show for the first time since January a drop below expected levels in deaths from pneumonia and influenza.

years. “Nobody tore it apart,” Coppes reported concerning the response given the plan Wednesday night at a closed door meeting of the committe. Plan’s Provisions The plan called for increasing exemptions op gross income taxes, including allowance for dependents to offset the impact of the sales tax on low income families. Coppes advocates a smaller increase in state tuition support than does his Senate counterpart, finance chairman Charles Maddox. Maddox pointed out that at the $290 million level for public schools—which is Coppes’ proposal, property taxes will be increased in much of the state but that if the support is $340 million, this would hold the line on property taxation in most communities. “This is really a matter of philosophy,” Maddox observed- “ The question is—should the wealthier communities help pay for schools in poor communities or should they keep all their wealth for themselves?” Coppes said that proposals to include money for a Lake Michigan port and two Ohio River bridges were discussed as possible budget items but were rejected. Port BUI In Budget? Indications are that the terms of a port bill authored by Bontrager which Welsh vetoed prob’ ably Will be written into the budget. The section under consideration would allow the Indiana Port Commission to spend up to $600,000 of money it has on hand for preliminary work -on the harbor. The legislative apportionment conference committee again reported “near agreement” at the end of a Wednesday night meeting. Rep. Lowell Smith, R-New Castle, said there ■is some possibility that another meeting today might produce a decision tp bring a constitutional amendment on reapportionment to the Senate floor. The amendment has been in the hands of a conference committee composed of Smith; Rep. Joseph Bruggenschmidt, D-TeU City, and Sens. Roy Conrad, R-Mbnticello, and William Christy. D-Hammond, ever since the regular session. The amendment would be followed by a bill calling for immediate reapportionment and based on the formula outlined in the proposed constitutional amendment. House-Passed Bills The Senate prepared to resume work on House-passed bills today. The Senate worked on this residue of bills Wednesday morning. During the afternoon, Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, Sens. John Shawley, R-Michigan City, and Bontrager and Maddox undertook to straighten out the teacher pay controversy. Bontrager termed the controversy “an honest misunderstanding;.” He said it was a misunderstanding between the Senate and the House. “The Senate thought everything was cleared when as a matter of fact it apparently was not,” Bon-

Law Enforcement Heads In Meeting The regular quarterly conference, called by the sheriff and prosecuting attorney, of all law enforcement officials of Adams county, was held in the Adams circuit court room Wednesday evening. Judge Myles F. Parrish instructed the officials in the rights of the accused in all criminal proceedings, and explained in detail the procedural laws applicable to apprehension and arrest. The federal and state constitutional rights were fuither discussed in detail. Disucssion was also held concerning the state law in the matter of juveniles. It was specifically brought out that the 11 p.m. curfew in Decatur is not a local law, but a state law enacted by the Indiana general assembly in 1961. Prove Beneificial This type of meetings is a new development in the. cooperation of local and county law enforcement officers and officials. They have proven quite beneficial to all concerned, as they afford each an opportunity to iron cut various problems and thus work better together. The Wednesday meeting brought out several interesting discussions, and enabled the oficers to better understand various facets of certain laws. The three members of the sheriff’s department were in attendance, along with all the local trager said. This was a reference to the fact Shawley had gained the signatures of 33 other senators to put the salary amendment into a pending bill. At the time, Shawley explained he was putting in the two minimums at S4OO higher than the current minimum since these figures were in the Senate bill- z -
