State Supreme court ruled
today.
The court affirmed a de
cree issued by Circuit Judge
Val D. Sloper sustaining its
legality following the appeal
of Dewitt Warren.
Warren contended the
statute dealing with county
building codes was unconsti
tutional.
But the high court said that
the ordinance providing for
tlie code was enacted pursuant
to any enabling act adopted
by the 11155 Legislature and
this legislation constitutes "a
valid delegation of legislative
power."
Warren said the ordinance
was unconstitutional In that it
applied to only an unincor

Safety Standards
Not Enforced,
Woman Claims
'Hundreds Suffer,
Many Die She Says
Washington UPI A former
official of the Food and Drug
Administration charged today
that hundreds of people . .
suffer daily and many die
because of what she called
the agency's failure to enforce
drug safety and branding
standards.
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."

Simple Ceremony Today
Moscow (UPD The body of
Nobel prize winning author
Boris Pasternak will be
buried in a plain pine coffin
today in a funeral ceremony
as simple as the last years he
lived in official Soviet dis
grace.
Although Pasternak was

Officially the Soviet Union

the author's death Monday at
the age of 70,
P The funeral was financed
by a Soviet Mutual Benefit
society, the literary founda
tion of which Pasternak was
a member.
However, the Soviet Writ
ers Union, which expelled
Pasternak aftor his, book
"Dr. Zhivago" was published
In the west, did not partici

velopment. E. R. Baldwin, city man
ager of Warrenton, said the

only report of Pasternak's
death to the Soviet people.
Moscow Radio's home service

An English language Mos

to Britain Wednesday night
depicted Pasternak as a sec
ond rate author. ,
"His books were printed in
the USSR although their
publication did not boost the
circulation of the magazines
in which they appeared," the
broadcast said.
"Pasternak himself realized
. , . tlt he had failed to
gain the readers' sympathy
and so he concentrated on
making translations of works
by foreign authors."
Dr. Zhivago -was not pub
