(Chris' Studio of Photography) Major Drug Firm Charged With Hiding WASHINGTON (UPI) of the nation s oldest major drug firms was accused by a federal grand jury Friday of keeping secret laboratory evi dence that a new drug may have caused serious damage to research animals. A 12-count indictment was re turned here against the William S. Merrell Co., a division of Richardson-Merrell Inc. of New York. It charged that when the company asked for government approval of the drug "Mer-29," failed to include damaging results from tests on animals. The indictment said false re ports about damage to the eyes, ovaries and bloodstreams of monkeys, rats and dogs used in testing the drug were given to the Food & Drug Administra-, tion (FDA). It said the firm concealed the fact that several rats died before experiments were completed. The drug was on the market for 22 months and had been prescribed by doctors for about 400,000 heart patients. It was withdrawn from sale by the company in April, 1962 under Programs Scheduled $ At Assembly Of God A Christmas program on Sun day and a cantata on Christ mas Eve will mark the holiday observance at tho Roseburg As sembly of God Church.

Test Results One,strong pressure from the FDA Harmful Effects During the last three months, suits totaling more than $25 million have been brought against the firm alleging that the drug, also known as tripar nol, had resulted in various harmful side effects. R.H. Marschalk, president of: the parent firm, commenting on the indictment, denied any 'in tent to deceive the government and said he was confident ' a "fair appraisal" would . vindi cate the company. The Merrell division, founded in 1828, was a prime distributor of the controversial drug thali domide suspected of causing deformities in babies when used by expectant mothers. An FDA spokesman said a 1962 law passed after the thali domide scare could have pre vented the Mer-29 episode. He said the FDA now has a closer check on clinical investigations of drugs under the new law. Developed Cataracts Dr. John O. Nestor, an FDA investigator, recommended in November, 1961, that Mer-29 be banned alter lour patients de-i votcd cataracts. The FDA did not act immediately be cause there was no real evi dence at that time that the ca taracts were drug-induced. It did, however, require the firm to issue a warning letter to doctors telling of harmful side effects such as cataracts, hair loss and other changes. The product was used for an other four and one-half months before enough evidence was found to justify its withdrawal. Tho indictment charged the firm plotted to deceive federal investigators who asked about reports of injuries to test ani mals. Richardson-Merrell also was named in tho indictment along with three scientists who worked for the Merrell divi sion: Harold w. Werner, Wil liam M, King, and Evert F.

The daughter, Mrs. Louis Sweet, 26, herself a mother of three, sufered from a kidney disease and physicians said she would die unless a transplant operation were performed. Mrs. Mark, 53, agreed to the' operation and on Dee. 13 one of her kidneys was transplated into the body of her daughter. Mrs. Sweet still is under in tensive care at St. Luke's Hos pital and doctors said it would be "at least a month" before they could be sure her system will not reject the gift kidney. But everything thus far is fav orable, they said. Mrs. Mark already has at tained the freedom of the hos pital. Friday she rode in a wheelchair to visit her daughter down the corridor. Mrs. Sweet, whose husband is I employed by the Bei.dix Corp., suffered several years from a chronic kidney ailment which had grown progressively worse. When doctors decided her only hope for life was a kidney trans plant, a brother, Norman Mark, 33, j stepped forward. The doc tors turned him down because, they said, his kidney would not fit. Tho brother weighs 200 pounds. Mrs. Sweet is small and slender.

Assault Case Demurrer Filed The attorney for Dale An drew Hargraves, 19, Myrtle Creek, who is charged with fir ing a shotgun blast into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Campbell in Myrtle Creek Dec. 9, demurred to the charges. Attorney Randolph Slocum in the demurrer said the slate 'has attempted to blow a larg er balloon than is necessary with regard to the offense and thereby to embarrass tho de fendant." He points out that two separate sets of charges have been filed. One includes assault with intent to kill and assault with a dangerous weapon involv ing Campbell. The ether involves the same charges involving " Campbell's wife. He says there are two greater crimes alleged and two lesser crimes. "The state should probably have gone from the sublime to the ridicu lous and included simple assault and assault and battery," the demurrer says. The demurrer insists the state should elect between offenses to prevent "prejudice and embar rassment to the accused." Slocum says that if the do- murrer is denied, he moves for an order requiring the state to elect on which of the several charges contained in the indict ment it intends to proceed against the defendant. The Myrtle Creek youth was arrested Dec. 9 after he alleged ly came to the Campbell home after having spent some time in a tavern with Mrs. Campbell and fired the shotgun blast through a window, wounding Mrs. Campbell. The incident oc curred after an altercation.
