Soaking Americans for Drugs
The investigation into prices of antibiotics,
the so-called "wonder drugs," which the Federal
Trade Commission carried out in the past three
years, made it quite
amount of work' remained to be done. Though
six leading pharmaceutical houses were indicted
for maintining "arbitrary,
tive and rigid prices,"
pending, the FTC hardly more than, scratched
the surface.
Accordinly, the Senate Antitrust and Monop
oly Subcommittee headed by, Senator Kefauver
of Tennessee has for the past five months been
gathering information on the basis of which it
expects to start public hearings in November.
Already it is armed with some startling com
parisons of drug prices in the United States and
abroad which the State Department has gather
ed at its request
TTHESE comparisons show that "consumer costs
of drugs in this country are, on the average,
far in excess of the cost of similar drugs in other
nations, even though, the same manufacturer is
involved," Senator Smathers of Florida told the
Senate.
A dozen aspirin tablets which cost 12 cents
in England cost 25 cents in America. The manu
facturer who sells 100
for $2.63 in Venezuela charges $4.88 in this
country. An American-made antibiotic that costs
$3.50 in this country sells in the Soviet Union for
45 -cents.
.
THUS, in Senator Smathers words, "The Amer-
ican people, fortunate in having the most
advanced medicines and drugs in the world,
share alike the doubtful distinction of paying the
world's highest premium for these basic human
necessities."
Certainly it costs less

discrimination to the disadvantage of United
State consumers, would seem therefore to make
exactly the opposite of sense. St. Louis Post-
Dispatch. .
: A Single Word
"Tell us in a single
important thing in American civilization."
This-was the task posed for educator Max
Lerner . by - a Polish journalist in Warsaw last
year. A dozen responses ran through Dr. Lerner's
head. Liberty .. . . Equality . . . Democracy . . .
Tolerance ... but none of them seemed exactly
right. Finally, thinking
self say, "Access. '
"We have heard of
the Polish writer, "but never of American access.
What is that?"
"Our Delcaration of
Lerner, "says that men are born free and equal.
Actually we know they are born very unequal,
for they have unequal potentials. But we believe
all youngsters should have equal access to op
portunities to develop what potentials they have.
In this sense, access is the key to our society."

Comments on L.A. Writers
The Associated Press reports from Chicago
that Pitcher Early Wynn of the White Sox has
complained of "bush league reporting" by Los
Angeles sports writers, who abused the Sox for
their poor fielding in the World Series games
in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles sports writers are a weird band
of chauvinists, with a code of ethics of their own
which ignores . normal journalistic regard for
facts.
We up in the Pacific Northwest have had our
own bitter experience with these strange char
actors, for whom nothing but the superlative best
will do.
'.
pACIFIC Coast conference football wasn't good
enough for them, so they did their utmost to
wreck the PCC. Minor league baseball wasn't
good enough for them, so they panned it. Now
they are learning that big league teams can make
errors, too, and they can't seem to stand it. :
Associated Press was guilty of some "bush
league reporting" too in its tale of Wynn's out
burst. It said he "let off steam about west coast
newspapermen." Obviously he was aiming only
at the L. A. writers, and the AP's statement that
he aimed at "west coast newspapermen", is a slur
on all newspapermen outside the L.A. fraternity.

White Foster Dulles.
Indeed, Secretary Christian
Archibald H e r t e r has de
veloped a "Herter policy" to
ward the China Communists
that goes beyond anything at
tempted in the old "rigid"
days of the late Mr. Dulles.
And in the process he has
truly turned the tables on
Nikita Khrushchev, the ton
boss of Communists every
where. The greatest difficulty ever
faced by the United States in
the . cold war has lain in a
single fact. We are' the un
doubted leaders of the West
ern alliance, in power and
prestige. But we are a free
people dealing with other
free peoples. We have never
been able to force them to
dance to our tune, even had
we wanted to do so.
'
KHRUSHCHEV has exploit
ed this relative weakness
numberless times. Heretofore,
he .has been able to pipe the
tune for? the countless, face
less millions of Communists
everywhere, including those
in China, i Or at any rate he
has claimed such a power and
has used this claim to suggest
that the West in a pinch has
no real leadership able to say
yea or nay. and make it stick.
Now, however, it is Chris
tian Herter who is makirig
Nikita Khrushchev sweat,
rather than the other way
round. Herter has proclaimed
the doctrine that since
Khrushchev has always said
the Soviet Union is the in
fallible head of the worldwide
Communist show, Khrushchev
must now accept the respon
sibility .for curbing his ag
gressive junior partners in
Communist China.
There is, of course, always
a temptation in the West to
grasp at thin straws. But this
time it really does look that
we have got hold of a first
rate stick. For Khrushchev
either must restrain the Chi
nese Communists or publicly
advertise an immense crack
in the theoretically massive
monolith of international com
munism. " "

DEAN MARTIN, whose career has been more meteoric
than ever since he shed Jerry Lewis as a partner, is
fond of pretending that he drinks more and oftener than
his friend Joe E. Lewis.
He expressly orders M.
C's at night clubs to in
troduce him as, - "And

remark he'll include lines
like, 'Tm not drinking
anymore. On the other
hand, I'm not drinking
any less," or "I drink
moderately. In fact, I've
got two cases of Moder
ately in my dressing room

AND, ironically, the man
who found the stick and
now brandishes it with such
vigor is the man who was
widely reckoned to be a far
less hardy type than was Mr.
Dulles.
Within a few days ex
plicitly, at 12:15 p.m. on Oc
tober 22 - Secretary Herter
will celebrate his first half
year in office. Six months is a
short span on which to mea
sure ' the effectiveness of a
Secretary of State. But it is
not too brief a time to make
a pretty, good preliminary
estimate. '
Inquiry' among the best
judges of performance in that
office, the men who serve at
the Secretary's elbow, sug
gests that the President has
made no mistake in, Christian
Archibald Herter. ' -
tierter has made many
changes, mostly in emphasis
rather than principle, , but in
important emphasis, all the
same. He has revived the State
Department's policy planning
board, ' of which Mr. DuUes
made very little use. He has
delegated far more authority
to subordinates m general. He
has made of State a happier
shop. And on the whole it is
a better shop. For no matter
how Mr. Dulles may have
been admired by many, no one
can really do it all really well
tf OREOVER, Herter's re-
gime has created changes
in manner whichare subtle
but which are significant; too.
Dulles was respected by his
Allied associates, but- rarely
deeply liked. Herter is both
respected and deeply liked,
He can say "no" as stoutly as
Dulles did, but he also has the
happy faculty of saying it
without leaving a sting.
And though this will surely
sound odd, it is nevertheless
a piain iaci: nerter is en
couraging the President to ac
cept his unique Constitutional
responsibility for ultimate
foreign policy. This Dulles
never did. Among those who
always hesitated to interrupt
or advise John Foster IDulles
was Dwight D. Eisenhower
himself. This is said not by
way of a guess but on com
pletely reliable authority.

Gold
To the Editor: A rather nov
el idea among sheepherders
in the early days of the public
domain grazing of sheep was
the habit of prospecting when
not tending the flock. On one
such occasion in eastern Ore
gon a lone sheepherder was
inspecting a freshly made
mound of sand and pebbles
dugup by a badger. Sure
enough, there appeared many
tiny grains of bright gold and
quartz, later proving to be
one of the most famous gold
pockets ever found in Baker
county, Oregon. Another dis
covery was by a lone sheep
herder somewhere from 50 to
75 miles south and west of
Vale. He was known to have
picked . up some very rich
nuggets and kept the location
a secret even unto his untime
ly death. As the story goes,
he was the unfortunate vic
tim of tick fever, thus ending
a: further chapter in the an
nals of a hidden treasure.
Most likely someone will acci
dentally find it again. .

vs. Politicians
on FDR's Health
The files relate that just prior
to the 1944 election,' "Vice
Adm. Ross iT. Mclntire "said
here that the , President was
in good health . and , without
"organic difficulties at all,"
although underweight. Mcln
tire was FRR's physician.
FDR's heart man went along
with the Admiral . .
Mclntire wrote a book after
FDR's death in which he
said: "The gossipers, -in -fact,'
were never further from, the
truth than when the declared
that the President's 'collapse'
was plainly apparent both be
fore and during - the cam
paign." . - '
"Gossipers" does not do
justice to the facts. Jonathan
Daniels set out in' "The Man
from . Independence," a bi
ograph of Harry S. Truman,,
that FDR was a dying . man
in 1944 and that some of his
associates knew it. , . '
Pauley Sparked . Strategy
Daniels relates that Edwin
W. Pauley sparked the stra
tegy to make Truman the 1944:
vice president nominee with
this slogan: "You are not nom
inating a Vice President, butl
a President of the United!
States."
Pauley meant that FDR
would not live out his fourth
term. Edward J. Flynn, in
"You're the Boss," wrote of
FDR prior to his fourth nom
ination in April, 1944:
"He seemed to lack power
to make decisions . . .'How
ever, once more as in 1940
the group surrounding him
were pressing him to under
take another campaign." .
Flynn had . been FRD's
Democratic National Commit
tee chairman and must be
counted his close and loyal
friend. Some books and years
later, the story is just about
complete. Roosevelt was in
no condition during the latter
months of his third term to
aspire to a fourth.
Secretary "Alarmed"
FDR's personal secretary,
Grace Tully, wrote of being
"seriously- alarmed" by the
