That FDA Neglected Public
Washington - (UPlt - New
charges that the Food and
Drug administration neglect
ed the public welfare by tak
ing tardy action against a
drug used in illegal abortions
were being studied today by
Senate investigators.
In a memorandum submit
ted Thursday to the Senate
drug investigating subcommit
tee, Dr, Barbara Moulton, a
former FDA official, charged
that the agency knew for 3i
years that the drug potassium
permanganate was causing
needless pain, even death, but
did nothing about it.
The FDA last summer ban
ned over-the-counter sales of
the drug except in greatly
diluted solutions.
Dr. Moulton also criticized
the FDA for allowing the sale
of candy-flavored aspirin for
children which she described
as "one of the biggest killers."

She snid the aspirin should be
banned.
The memorandum said the
FDA had received letters from
physicians "begging" for a
ban on over-the-counter sales
of bromides. She said no gov
ernment action was taken de
spite what she called "suffi
cient evidence" to support a
ban.
"Probably several hundred
men and women in this coun
try every year are mistakenly
diagnosed as Insane and com
mitted to mental hospitals,
sometimes for months, as a
result of self-medication with
these bromide drugs, which
are sold without prescription,
in spite of the practically
unanimous opinion of the med
ical profession that they
should be restricted to pre
scription sale," she said.
Dr. Moulton said the abor
tion drug was not banned un
til she asked Health Secre
tary Arthur S. Flemming to
investigate it. She said FDA
medical experts had recom
mended the ban as far back
as 1957 to Food and Drug
Commissioner George P. Lar
rick, "Secretary Flemming hud-
as far as I know-no evidence
in I960 not available to Mr.
Larrick ZVi years ago," she
said. "The long delay in tak
ing action as simple as the
publication of a statement of
policy seems to me clear evi
dence of neglect of the public
welfare."
Dr. Moulton said the drug
was being used illegally by
nonmedical people in the mis
taken belief it would cause
abortion.
"It will not," she said. "In
stead it destroys the walls of
the vagina, causing profuse
bleeding which has resulted
in some instances in death,
in others in such severe scar
ring that normal childbirth
was subsequently Impossible."
Dr. Moulton was formerly
chief of the FDA's drug and
device branch until she quit
in a dispute over the agency's
policies last year.
Chairman Estes Kcfauver
(D-Tonn.) ordered her state
ment included in the public
record of his Senate antitrust
and monopoly subcommittee,
which is conducting a broad
investigation of the drug in
dustry and its regulation by
the government.

showdown with socialist strikers.

dences in the city except when
they are in designated trailer
camps.
The commission also called
for a public hearing on a pro
posed revision to the city's
sign ordinance in limited com
mercial zones. The changes in
the sign ordinance, the com
mission, hopes, will provide
for more realistic" regula-
sion of trailer houses into
ters.
Regarding trailer houses,
the commission moved to
strike out those city code pro
visions relating to the conver
sion of trailer houses into
residences.
The commission recom
mended the addition of a pro
vision to the code, which pro
vides, in part, that removing
the wheels or setting the trail
er on posts or footings shall
not exempt the trailer from
the provisions of the ordi
nance. The new regulations would
not apply to those trailers
being used as residences prior
to the adoption of the changes
in the code.
The revisions to the city's
sign ordinance in limited com
mercial zones have been ne
cessitated mainly by the signs
in the Medford shopping cen
ter. Most of these are now
much larger than the city code
would normally permit.
However, the city has not
felt they should enforce the
code, in this case, because it
was not designed to regulate
shopping center signs. Signs
in shopping centers are gen
erally set back much further
from the streets than signs
on the average commercial
business.
The new revisions would
not automatically make all the
signs in the shopping center
legal. Some of them will still
be in violation of the code.
But, the commission feels that
they will make the sign ordi
nance more realistic.
Under the proposed revi
sions signs will be limited in
size to less than 25 'square
feet unless it is set back from
a distance greater than 20 feet
from a lot in a residential
zone and 20 feet from a
street.
A sign set back more than
20 feet from a lot in a resi
dential zone and 20 feet from
street may be increased in
area by an amount not to ex
ceed one square foot for each
foot of setback exceeding 20
feet.
Under the code provisions
as they now exist, a sign can
not be larger than 25 square
feet in area. There is no pro
vision for signs set back a
great distance from the street.
The commission has called
for a meeting with the city
council prior to a public hear
ing on the proposed sign ordi
nance in February.

Speak Today on
Congo Situation
United Nations, N.Y. -OIPD-Britain
accused Russia today
of using its charges of Belgian
interference in the Congo as
part of a campaign to wreck
the United Nations.
British Ambassador Sir Pat
rick Dean joined French del
egate Pierre Millet and Turk
ish Ambassador Turgut Men
emencioglu in telling the Se
curity Council they believed
Russia's charge against Bel
gium was unfounded.
Russia had complained that
on New Year's Day Congolese
troops were permitted to use
the U. N. trust territory of
Ruandi-Urundi, of which Bel
gium is the administering
power, for the start of an at
tack on forces of deposed Pre
mier Patrice Lumumba. Am
bassador Valerian A. Zorin
demanded that Belgium be
stripped of the trust territory.
Dean said it was noticeable
how little of the Soviet com
plaint dealt with the actual in
cident in Ruanda-Urundi. In
stead, he said, Zorin had
stressed colonialism, color dis
crimination in international
policy, and "even managed to
slip in a grace note about the
strikes in Belgium."
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold, sped from Africa to
attend today's debate.
He was expected to speak
this afternoon.
Hammarskjold's statement
to the council was expected to
summarize talks he has had
with President Joseph Kasa
vubu and other Congolese
leaders in Leopoldville.
Russia asked the council to
consider its charges that the
U.N. Congo command permit
ted Congolese troops loyal to
Kasavubu to be sent from the
Belgian-administered trust
territory of Ruanda-Urundi to
attack forces loyal to Soviet
backed deposed Premier Pa
trice Lumumba.
Belgian Ambassador Walter
Loridan told the council his
government granted transit
rights through Ruanda-Urundi,
which is east of the Con
golese province of Kivu, for
"100 or so" Congolese troops
at the request of Kasavubu.
He contended that this did not
violate U.N. orders. Kivu is a
stronghold of pro-Lumumba
forces.
The United Arab Republic
was preparing a resolution
which informed sources said
was mild enough to perhaps
be accepted by both Russia
and the West and thus avoid
another bitter wrangle over
the Congo.
Soviet Ambassador Valeri
an A. Zorin asked Thursday
that Belgium be stripped of
its administrative power over
Ruanda-Urundi and again de
manded immediate withdraw
al of all Belgians from the
Congo.
Peace Mission Sent
To Cambodia Fails
Vientiane-IUPU-A peace mis
sion sent to neighboring Cam
bodia has failed in efforts to
win over deposed Premier
Souvanna Phouma to the pro
Western government of Pre
mier Boun Oum, reliable
sources said today.
Communist -backed Prince
Souvanna fled to Cambodia
just before the battle for Vien
tiane last December. The So
viet Union and Communist
China insist he is the legal
premier of Laos and that
Boun is a U.S. puppet.
