Legislation To Tighten Safety Of Drugs Voted Washington -IUPII- The Sen ate Judiciary committee to day unanimously approved legislation designed to make sure that the drugs Americans buy will be safe and effective. The 15-member rommitlce, reconsidering a bill written hefore baby-deforming thali domide swept Europp, voted to give President Kennedy practically everything he ask ed In (he way of etlffer drug legislation, an administration ide said. If approved by Congress, (he committee's bill would subject drug manufacturers to the tightest federal regulation imposed on any industry. Sen. Eslcs Kefauver (D Tenn.), whose earlier reform proposals had been sharply re vised by the same committee, called the bill a "very good measure." The legislation would apply both to new drugs and those already on druggists' shelves. A drug already on the market could be withdrawn after a hearing for a variety of rea sons, including lack nf sub stantial evidence that it works as advertised.

Kennedy, Udall Laud Leadership Of Governor Los Banos, Calif. - WPH -Pageantry and politics mark ed the dedication of the San Luis project and the happiest man over the outcome was Gov. Edmund G. Brown. The 57-year-old Democratic governor faces what is expect ed to be a tough fight for reelection next Nov. fl against Republican Richard M. Nixon. At the San Luis ceremony last Saturday Brown heard -himself praised by the Presi dent of the united States for "d I s tinguished leadership." And Interior Secretary Stew art L. Udall said Brown was "the best water governor of all our 50 states." Sources close to the gover nor said they were highly pleased by President Kenne dy's tribute and hoped the chief executive would return to California In October to give Brown another assist. Crucial Election Kennedy is known to feel lhat the Brown - Nixon con test is the most Important gu bernatorial election in the country this fall. Moreover, the President is hopeful California, which gains eight seals in the House of Representatives as a re sult of Us population increase in the last decade, will send him more Democrats. The stale's present delegation is 16-14 Democratic. There were indications that Kennedy will return to Cali fornia before Ihe fall election. UPl White House reporter Merrlman Smith quoted "Democratic party officials" in Los Angeles as saying it is a "sure bet" the President will return. . What gladdened the heart of Brown and Democrats who hope to see their man beat Nixon was this statement from Kennedy at the dedica tion: "Many state administra tions, including some of Ihe most distinguished, wrestled wilh the problem of water It said I development. But I believe lhat all Californians will re member the leadership which your disingulshed governor has given In this great cause of making waler available to Ihe people of the stale and f salute him for it. Udall was even more ful some In his praise. "This great cooperative wa ler effort puts California in a class by itself in all of the 50 states and puts Pat Brown in a class by himself as the best waler governor of all our 50 stales." lie said. Although Kennedy's lour of three reclamation projects in South Dakota, Colorado and California was billed as "non political." there was a clear cut majority of Democrats on the "distinguished visitors" stand at Ihe San Luis dam sile. II miles west of here. While 13 Democratic slale office - holders were on I lie sland. there were only two Re publicans there - U.S. Sen. Thomas II. Kuchel, a co-author ot the San Luis legislation in Ihe Senate, and Secretary of Slate Frank M. Jordan. I As for the pagentry.

Its effect on fu ture U.S. manned space flights has not been deter mined. A joint statement by the Atomic Energy commission and the Defense department said this was not an unex pected development fro. i the July 9 blast. Officials said it was about as expected. The statement said the new radiation area lies primarily above the path of current manned space flights, lt add ed: "Though the (radiation) measurements indicate that the residual electrons will not constitute a hazard to manned satellite launchings which are planned for the near future, the Department of Defense, the National Aer onautics and Space adminis tration and the Atomic Ener gy commission are making a detailed study to determine possible effects." The statement said the in formation was being "circu lated to governments con ducting or contemplating sat ellite programs and other ex periments in space." Asked if this included Russia a govern ment spokesman said he pre sumed the Soviet Union was among thoee notified. Earlier, a scientist at' Boul der, Colo., had said the July 9 test may have produced an other radiation belt similar to the Van Allen belt. Dr. James Warwi of the high altitude observatory of the National Center for At mospheric research here said the belt was positioned in space where it passed close to the Johnston Island site of the July explosion. He said it contained the same kind of "high energy eleetrons" of the Van Allen belt. Warwick said he could not give an opinion on whether the new belt would be a haz ard to manned space explora tion or would slow up the U.S. Mercury program. But he said he thought there were plenty of scientists qualified to do so. "The data indicates that the belt appeared immediate ly following the July 9 ex plosion over Johnston Is land," Warwick sr'd. "Our data comes from two Pacific stations on a month' basis. I saw them for the first time last week. "However, observations of effects similar to what we saw came from the National Bureau of Standards station in Peru and it's my under standing they saw earlier in July what we did." Warwick said the new ra diation belt is just at the low er edge of the inner Van Al len belt nnd could las' for months or possibly as long as five years. Extra Work Made Easy!
