Dr. Barbara Moulton, who quit the staff of the FDA's Bureau of Medicine last Feb ruary, made the charge in testimony before the Senate antitrust and monopoly sub committee. The group, head ed by Sen, Estes Kofauver (D-Tcnn.) is investigating the drug industry. Dr. Moulton said the drug industry, the medical and legal professions and the pub lic "all share in the guilt." Kefauver asked her to docu ment the charge. She balked at doing so during public hearings. He then asked her to provide the information in a confidential memorandum. She said she would. The senator said he also would ask the FDA to open its files for the witness' use if necessary. He hailed her testimony as "a great public service" and hinted it might serve as the basis of strong legislative reforms. Charges Called Serious Sen. Roman L. Hruska (H Neb.), a subcommittee mem ber, call d Dr. Moulton's charges "grave and serious." He said he failed to find sub stantiation for them in her prewired testimony before the subcommittee. But Kefauver said he thought she would back them up by giving spe cific examples later. Dr. Moulton said the FDA In the last five years had shown "a deliberate neglect of the interest of the con sumer and an unwillingness to make policy decisions hon estly on scientific fact." "Hundreds of people . . . suffer jtyily and many die be cause the food and drug ad ministration has failed utterly in its-sole task of enforcing those sections of -the law dealt Ing with the safety and mis branding of drugs, particular ly prescription drugs," she said. Assails Bureau's Leaders Dr. Moullon also charged that promotions in the agency have been given "almost ex clusively to those Individuals with the administration wlio have, in my opinion, allowed considerations of private gain to bcclouTf their intellectual honesty and pervert the sense of duty to the public or to incompetent individuals ... "No well -trained, public- spirited physician can in good conscience remain for long in the Food and Drug Adminis tration under present condi tions," she said. O Dr. Moulton urged action "to remove from key positions within the agency all those officials who cither for per sonal guin or by reason of too many years ot close associa tion with and 'bruin-washing' by the Industries they regu late have come to place the welfare of the drug industry above that of the consumer."
