Pharamcy
New Drug
Corvallis - From "medicine
man" and "pill roller" to
pharmacist and finally drug
consultant.
In a sentence, that's the
Centennial Year past and fu
ture of pharmacy in Oregon,
according to Oregon State col
lege pharmacy school leaders.
At present, the pharmacy
profession is in its -greatest
period of change, they point
out. An average of one new
drug has been introduced
every day for the past 10
years and 80 per cent of the
prescriptions written today
could not have been filled in
1949 because the drugs were
unknown then.
"Natural" drugs, or those
made directly from medicinal
plants, are giving way gener
ally, to synthetic drugs manu
factured by pharmaceutical
chemists. The synthetics are
equally good-or better, are
less expensive, and the supply
can be matched to demand.
Antibiotics and hormones,
however, are important excep
tions. They are still obtained
from natural sources.
Life Changes
Life has changed for the
pharmacist too. Dr. Ben F.
Cooper, associate professor of
pharmacy, notes.
In the old days, a druggist
spent most of his time com
pounding the medicines at his
store counter. Pills were roll
ed by hand and extracts made
by percolation. Today, less
than 10 per cent of the pre
scriptions need compounding
and that figure is still going
down. And while this trend
means less work of one kind,
it means tremendous new re
sponsibility for knowledge of
uses, actions, and dosages of
all the new drugs.
In the years ahead, Cooper
sees the role becoming one of
a "drug consultant" to doctors
and others who simply are un
able to take the time, or lack
the professional background,
to keep abreast of changes in
medicines and their uses.

keep the business going. To
day, professional-type phar
macies that handle nothing
but drugs are increasing in
number, and such sidelines as
the soda fountains are disap
pearing -from drug- stores
across the state and nation.
Oregon's pharmacy history
must go back to the Indian
medicine man, Cooper said.
Medicines made from na
tive plants were their chief
stocks-in-trade, along with
ritual and mystic, and Oregon
grape, now state flower, found
wide use in this connection.
It was made into a popular
tea and was the chief ingred
ient in a famous spring tonic
called "Pf under's Oregon
Blood Purifier."
Dr. John McLoughlin,
"Father of Oregon," was also
its first pharamacist. He had
studied pharmacy in Quebec
before taking his medical de-

In Force of the Flood -
Deep in his underground
burrow the rabbit heard the
murmur of the waters grow

little more urgent. He shifted
his position.
Later he awakened as wa

stirred, then ran along the
dark burrow. The walls were
wet. As he approached the
tunnel entrance the water
was deeper. He rushed out of
the den-mouth into a strange
and unfamiliar world; a world
of water. It stretched away as
far as he could see. It was
whispering gently round the
grass roots. It was running
now down into his burrow

rabbits. They seemed be
wildered. A fox trotted past
but paid no attention to the
where the rabbits hopped and
the fox patroled became a
small island. The rabbits even
ignored their traditional ene
my, the fox. They hopped
within inches of him. They
were faced with a greater
danger.
The milling animals were
being enveloped now with
rising water. The island grew
smaller and smaller. A cur
rent became evident. Leaves,
sticks, tree branches and
debris of a dozen kinds began
floating past. The sound of
the water became a roar,
creeping relentlessly higher.
Current Quickened
Offshore the speed of the
current quickened. Small
trees sailed past on the crest
of the flood. Some small ani
mals clung to some of the
floating debris. Perhaps that
gave the fox an idea, for he
waded out and climbed
aboard a drifting tree that
lodged for a moment on the
little island. Fox and tree
were swept away. Panic
stricken, the rabbits rushed
about but there was no place
to run to. They were faced
with powerful forces. There
was no instinctive knowledge
to guide them.
A tree crashed against the
island just as the water inun
dated the island. One of the
rabbits hopped up on the
floating trunk. The tree hung
for a moment on the land,
then went twisting and turn
ing away on the crest of the
flood, a lone rabbit clinging
to. the branches. He at least
might survive until tomor
row. (Released by The Register

Controversy Rages Over U.S.
Pricing Out of World Markets
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
Washington - (UPD - Is the
United States pricing itself
out of world markets?
Some business spokesmen
saythat it iss They say U.S.
wage levels have reached so
high that many foreign coun
tries are underselling our
products abroad, with a re
sulting sharp drop in our ex
port trade.
Labor spokesmen reply that
business is blowing up a
phony scare in - an effort to
arouse public opposition to
wage increases. They say the
decline in U.S. exports has
been grossly exaggerated, and
was not caused primarily by
wage-price fatcors.
Each side in this blossoming
controversy is well armed
with statistical arguments.
Businessmen point out that
U.S. exports declined from an
annual rate of 820.000,000,000
in the first part of 1957 to an
annual rate of $16,300,000,000
at the end of 1958.
Spells Difference
This drop is serious, they
say, because a healthy export
trade often spells the differ
ence between prosperity and
recession for a nation's entire
economy. . :
Businessmen blame the de
cline on U.S. inflation, in
which, they say, rising wage
costs are a major causative
factor.
"We have to face the fact
that in many lines we are
pricing ourselves right out of
the world market," said John
J. McCloy, Board Chairman of
the Chase Manhattan Bank.
Ernest R. Breech, board
chairman of Ford Motor Co.,
said auto workers now get an
average wage of $2.44 an hour
in the United States, com
pared with $1.05 in Britain
and 69 cents an hour in West
Germany. He thinks this is
a basic reason that British,

German and other . foreign
made cars are grabbing huge
hunks of the world market
from Detroit. (Last year, U.S.
imports of foreign cars were
five times as great as U.S.
exports of automobiles.)
The American Iron and
Steel Institute has recently
been publishing newspaper
advertisements showing a for
eign steel mill worker, with
the headline . "Will he take
away an American steelwork
er's job?"
Earns $24 a Day
The ads say that American
steelworkers now earn $24 a
day - "four times as much as
steelworkers of Western Eu
rope . . . and seven times as
much as Japanese steelwork
ers." "European 'and Japanese
steel producers are even now
underselling American steel
right here in this country,"
the ads warn. "Certainly it
will not help America if the
spread between U.S. and for
eign wages is increased. It
will only serve to export
jobs."
An AFL-CIO economist re
torts that this argument is
"industry propaganda, trans
parently aimed at whipping
up public sentiment against
wage increases for the Steel
workers' Union."
A "fact sheet" prepared by
the AFL-CIO research depart
ment makes these points
about the export situation:
Exports Lower
It is true that exports were
lower in 1958 than in 1957.
But 1957 was an "abnormal"
year in world trade. The Suez
crisis compelled Western Flu
rope to turn temporarily to
the United States for oil and
cotton normally purchased
from the Middle East. A Euro
pean crop failure boosted ex
ports of U.S. wheat.
If 195? exports are com
pared with "normal" years,
the picture is different. They

were about equal to 1956 ex-
ports and $4,400,000,000
above the 1952-56 average.
The fact sheet points out
that even in 1958, U.S. ex
ports exceeded imports by
more than $3,000,000,000, so
that the "balance of trade" re
mained heavily in this coun
try's favor.
As for the impact of infla
tion on the ability of U.S.
products to compete in for
eign markets, the AFL-CIO
quotes figures showing that
between 1953 and 1958 the
wholesale price indexes of
various exporting nations rose
like this:
France, 20 per cent; Britain,
Britain, 13 per cent; United
States 8 per cent; Germany, 6
per cent; and Italy, 1 per cent.
"It is obvious from these
figures," said a labor econo
mist, "that we are a long way
from being priced out' of
world markets."
President Eisenhower's re
cent economic report to Con
gress, prepared with the help
of his three-man Council of
Economic Advisers, provides
some ammunition for both
sides.

Shots Exchanged,
At Henderson
Textile Mill
Henderson, N. C.-(UPD-Shots
were' exchanged between
strikers and non-strikers at
the Harriet-Henderson Mills
Wednesday night when mill
workers ended their second
shift. .
One striker was wounded
and two non-strikers were ar
rested. A small fire broke out
at the firm's South Henderson
mill.
Gov. Luther M. Hodges,
who has been attempting to
mediate the strife-torn strike,
asked the company to halt
night shift operations and
cancel a proposed third shift,
thereby confining work to
daylight hours.
The second shift has been
the focal point of stepped-up
violence since a proposed
strike settlement broke down
Monday over the issue of the
number of jobs available for
returning strikers.
Hodges said Wednesday
that new negotiations toward
a settlement had ended in
failure. In a strongly-worded
statement, Hodges criticized
both sides in the dispute and
asked officials of the Textile
Workers Union of America
(AFL-CIO) for a written guar
antee against further violence.
Fred Bowes, a striker, was
wounded in the right shoulder-blade
Wednesday night as
he stood on a railroad track
near the entrance to the North
Henderson mill. He told police
he thought the shot came from
a worker's car on the street
behind him.
Two workers returning to
their homes in Virginia were
arrested after they exchanged
shots with an unidentified
gunman at a highway inter
section near here.
1958 drop in exports to a
"combination" of "special cir
cumstances" in world trade,
including the "disappearance"
of an abnormally high Euro
pean demand for U.S. oil, cot
ton and wheat.
At the same time, it notes
that world markets are be
coming "more highly compe
titive." And it warns that fail
ure to 'hold the line against
costv- price inflation in this
country will jeopardize "our
capability to compete for for

Shoplifting Bill
Voted by House
Salem (UPD - The Oregon
House Wednesday passed and
sent to the governor a bill
empowering merchants or
their clerks to detain persons
suspected of shoplifting.
Vote was 40-18.
A lengthy argument preced
ed the vote. It was sparked by
two House lawyers - Rep.
Keith Skelton (D - Eugene)
who favored the bill and Rep.
George Layman (R-Newberg)
who opposed it.
Skelton said the detention
would be for a "reasonable
time and in a reasonable man
ner" until it was determined
if anything had been stolen.
Layman argued that, the bill
was an exception to the basic
freedom from arrest enjoyed
by Americans.
The House adjourned short

bills remaining on the calen
dar to be considered today.
