Number of Dangerous Drugs
Alarms Federal Agency
Washington, Feb. 8 Pi The food and drug administration ex
pressed alarm today over an increase in the number of danger
ous drugs it has found on the market.
It also noted a rise in the careless use of the deadly rat
joison 1080.
At the same time, however,?-
the agency pointed out that "to
the credit of the American food,
drug and cosmetic industries as
a whole," better supplies of
these products are available
than ever before.
In his annual report, Commis
sioner Paul B. Dunbar listed
these as some of the difficulties
he has run into in the past fis
cal year:
1. The increase in coffee
prices led to attempts to sal
vage coffee "to the last bean."
The administration seized five
large lots of sweepings beans
spilled from broken bags in
ship holds and on docks some
of them containing "half their
weight in unspeakable filth."
2. DDT is still found in dairy
barns. The agency reaffirmed
its position of last fall that there
will be "no tolerance for DDT
In milk, because it is a poison
that is not required in good
dairy farm practice."
S. Shipment of short -weight
products such as gift pcakages
little more than half full, and
honey-rum-brandy cakes with
little honey and no rum and
brandy. (But the agency report
ed that although 14 shipments
of candy were seized as short
weight, "in general the propor
tion of the candy to the package
in candy bars Is improving.")
4. The use of "naked" rasp
berry seeds in pie filling to give
the false impression that it con
tained raspberries a fraud, the
agency said, which recalled
practices before the passage of
the food and drug act in 1906.
5. Deodorants that proved ir
ritating to laboratory animals
(70,000 such jars later were
mixed with cement to form part
of an excavation fill), egg sham

poos short on eggs, olive oil hair
dressings consisting chifely of
mineral oil, and an explosion
while the shipment was being
seized of quart jar samples of
a "no-bloat" mixture for cattle
and sheep.
6. Various phony medical de
vices were found on sale in
cluding such items as copper and
zinc shoe plates to help walking
and "carry off static deposits
that cause pain due to rheuma
tism, arthritis and backache."
7. Polluted baby foods. The
agency seized more than $100,-
000 worth of a mixture of
pureed apricots and insect-in
fested Farina, and removed
from the market 43,000 cases of
an under-processed infant food
which caused gastric disturb'
ances.
The rat poison 1080, a white
powder usually mixed in water
and set out in small paper cups,
is so lethal it may be used only
by trained pest control opera
tors and public health person
nel. "Although this poison is sold
under strict restrictions, inspec
tors have encountered many in
stances of alarmingly careless
handling in food plants," the re
port said.
"Several deaths occurred ac
cidentally from bringing this
poison into private homes
among the victims were child
ren who drank the liquid or who
chewed the empty paper cups.
There is no satisfactory antidote
for the poison, and its effects
are rapid."
The report said that during
the year, 33 dangerous drugs
had to be recalled from the mar
ket, "an alarming increase of
such incidents." They included
It I1-
salt substitutes which contrib
uted to several deaths, and a
burn ointment containing a
small percentage of carbolic
acid, blamed for the death of
a 10-year-old boy.
One person died and 100 be
came ill in one of two major
food poisoning outbreaks traced
to cream-filled pastries. Never
theless, the agency said, "Bak
ery products are cleaner as a
whole and are produced under
far better sanitary conditions
than was the case a few years
ago."
The largest food fine of the
year, $9,500, was assessed
against a noodle manufacturer
who also was prosecuted in 1944
and 1946 for extremely unsani
tary operations. ,
Chiefs of Staff
Visit Okinawa
Tokyo, Feb. 6 Iff) The U.S.
joint chiefs of staff today ldok
ed over Okinawa, key air base in
the American defense line fac
ing communist-troubled Asia.
In Japan, the four top milita
ry commanders left this general
impression after five days of se
cret strategy conferences with
General MacArthur and his ex
perts: The U.S. may take a tougher
stand against the spread of
communism in the Orient and
back it up with more attention
to American military needs in
this part of the world.
Gen Omar Bradley, chair
man of the joint chiefs; Army
Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Air
Force Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg
and Adm. Forrest P. Sherman,
chief of naval operations, left
Japan this morning. Two hours
after taking off from Itazuke
airfield on Kyushu they landed
at battle-famed Okinawa.
There was no official inkling
of what the joint chiefs might
report to President Truman and
national defense planners on
their return to Washington via
Guam, Kwajalein and Hawaii.
However, it was evident that
high officers of MacArthur's
command urged a bolder Ameri
can attitude to save a situation
they regard as critical.
Luckman for
Higher Place
Washington, Feb. 6 (U.R)
President Truman was reported
today to have offered Charles
Luckman a top-level government
post, perhaps chairmanship of
the atomic energy commission.
Usually well informed quar
ters said Luckman became an
unexpected candidate for the at
omic post when he recently quit
his $300,000-a-year job as pres
ident of Lever Brothers Co.
There were other reports, how
ever, that the 40-year-old one
time "wonder boy" of the busi
ness world would be named
chairman of the National Secur
ity Resources board.
The White House refused to
comment on the reports. Luck
man would say only that "you
would have to ask the president
to get a direct answer. I will
not deny or confirm the report."
The $17,500-a-year atomic en
ergy post will become vacant
Feb. 15 when David E. Lilien
thai returns to private life after
17 years of government serv
ice. He has been AEC chairman
for'three years.
Besides Luckman, others be
ing mentioned are W. Avcrell
Harriman, roving ECA ambassa
dor, and Wilson W. Wyatt, for
mer housing expediter. One
source said Mr. Truman had
tried in vain to recruit James B.
Conant, president of Harvard
university.

says minute diamonds occasion
ally have been found in meteor
ites, as in one found in Canon
Diablo, Arizano, by Dr. G. A
Koenig in 1891.
Gangland Bomb Wrecks
Cohen's Home; He Escapes
Los Angeles, Feb. 6 W) A gangland bomb wrecked Mickey
Cohen's $100,000 radar-protected home before dawn today but
the little mobster leading his usual charmed life escaped unhurt.
Mickey, his wife and a maid
bedroom where Mickey usually
sleeps is in pieces out in the
front yard. His wife and the
maid also were unhurt.
The damage estimated at
$50-000 was so great that po
lice earlier reported that Cohen
could not have been home and
survived such a blast.
Kathryn Jones, the Cohen
maid, called the West Los An
geles police station and hysteri
cally reported there has been a
'terrific" explosion at the Cohen
home.
But the blast was so shatter
ing that the police said they
heard it even before Miss Jones
called. The police station is
three-and-a-half miles away
from the Cohen home.
Cohen and his wife were sleep
ing at the rear of the house.
Mickey described the blast thus
ly: 'About 4:15 (PST) this morn
ing my alarm went off, that is
my electric eye system. I got
up and the eye system pointed
at the particular part of the
property that had been broken.
I went to the front windows,
didn't see anybody, and I didn't
hear anybody. I went back to
bed, that was about three min
utes, and then the explosion
came.
'I jumped out of bed to see
what it wf. ran to the front
of the house. I have no idea
what it was. It split the front
door from top to bottom, plus
every window in tlie house. I
think the damage would be about
$50,000."
Cohen said he was out till
midnight and went to bed around
1:30 a.m.
'Why would anyone want to
do a thing like this to me,"
queried Cohen.
Police said a bomb apparent
ly caused the blast and theorized
it either was tossed or leaned
gainst the house.

Plan to Enlarge
School Plant
Preliminary to mapping i
program that is expected to re
sult in a bond issue to provide
funds with which to enlarge the.,
physical plant of the Salem
school system, a group of repre
sentatives of various organiza
tions will confer with the school
board Monday night.
The representatives are being
called into the conference for
the purpose of securing their
ideas concerning the best way of
taking care of ever increasing
enrollment, particularly in the
lower grades.
It has been pointed out that
last year's building program
took care of just the immediate
needs of the district and that
several additional class rooms
must be provided in the near fu
ture to absorb the youngsters
who will soon begin their tour
of the secondary schools.
Although new buildings were
constructed in the Four Corners
and Capitola districts, and sev
eral rooms added at Highland,
the need for still further ac
commodations is pressing, sta
tistics indicate.
Snappy Rally
C. of C. Tuesday
The membership rally of the
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
will be sharp and snappy. Plenty
of speakers will be on the pro
gram, but they will be limited
to about a minute each, so no
one will be bored.
An exception as to time will
be made for the main speaker,
Charles Walker of Portland, but
he's never been known to bore
anybody. So it looks like an
entertaining evening for every
one. The dinner meeting, starting
at 6:30 in the chamber dining
room, will be the starting whis
tle for a membership drive and
revival. The membership de
partment, headed by Russell
Pratt hopes not only to gather
in a lot of new members, but to
bring some backsliders back into
the fold.
Here are some of the mem
bers who will make minute re
marks dealing with the activities
of the chamber in all lines of
public and industrial activity:

Lambing
Season
Under Way
Though the Willamette valley
experienced the worst weather
in 60 years the annual lambing
season is well under way and
losses so far have been compar
atively light.
Heated barns and extra feed
for the ewes are helping the new
born lambs to survive with sev
eral farsighted growers report
ing that they "postponed" lamb
ing with late breeding last fall.
The low loss rate on lambs
borning during the subzero tem
peratures last week was due
mostly to extra efforts by the
sheepmen, especially those hav
ing purebred flocks.
breeders lambing in open
sheds or In the fields have had
some losses while breeders with
proper facilities have had bnt
little, according to Claude Steus
loff, of Salem.
Ed Ahrens, Turner, who has
six-week old lambs, finds that
the newborn lambs are able to
stand considerable cold if they!
are fed shortly after birth. I
Floyd Fox, Silverton district
breeder, reports that lambing is
a little late in his district and
with the change in weather con
ditions does not expect much
loss.
Another prominent valley
breeder, Walter Hubbard, Junc
tion City, has provided electrically-heated
sheds for his sheep.
He reports few losses in his com
munity. Asserts Russia
Making H-Bomb
London, Feb. 6 If) The Brit
ish editor who correctly predict
ed the Soviet Union would set
off an atomic blast In 1949 today
said the Soviets already have
made and exploded a hydrogen
super bomb.
The editor is 40-year-old Ken
neth De Courcy, editor of the
monthly "Intelligence Digest"
who claims to have sources of
information on both sides of the
Iron Curtain.
"There is now evidence of Rus
sia having already made an H
bomb," De Courcy asserted in a
statement to the press.
"She has in fact made three
and exploded one of them," the
statement declared.
De Courcy did not say when
or where the purported hydro
gen bomb was tested.
De Courcy in January, 1949,
predicted that Russian would at
tempt an atomic explosion in
1949. President Truman in Sep
tember revealed there had been
an atomic blast in Russia.
