was staying, said the call left
the disposed first lady "very

Telephone: Separate meetings
continued in Santa Monica as
Federal- mediators attempted to ic
settle a strike against General

strike was called Oct. 18 by
an estimated 9,000 workers.
Birch: A Torrance municipal
court judge termed the behavi

State Senate to fill the post
vacated by the appointment of

Lunardi defeated Roseville

rens, the Republican candidate.
But Sevrens, publisher of the
Roseville Press - Tribune, col
lected a higher - than - expected
number of votes, losing to the
Assemblyman by only about 500
ballots. The result means that
Democrats will keep their two-

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
government is preparing to take
a second look at its proposal to
nan the sale ol cold treatment
drugs containing antibiotics.

tration (FDA) announced Aug
17 that it planned to ban sale
of the compounds because, it
said, antibiotics are of no
known value in fighting a cold.
So many working physicians
protested that the FDA now is
prepared to let a panel of med
ical experts reconsider the find
ings. The research would be un
dertaken by the same panel
which said in a 1962 report that
there is no acceptable evi
dence that any antimicrobial
agent is of any value in the
treatment of the common cold."
Changes Regulations
On this premise, FDA Com
missioner George P. Larrick
said the government planned to
change its regulations so they
would, in effect, delete such
drugs from the list of those ac
ceptable for certification."
Any drug which lacks certifi
cation is banned from the mar
ket.
The special panel, headed by
Dr. Harry Dnwling of the Uni
versity of Illinois School of
Medicine, already has asked for
an opportunity to reconsider its
report after all comments on
the issue have been submitted j
to the FDA. Larrick said they
would be given the opportunity.
In its original report the pan
el said in effect that the addi
tion of antibiotics to the cold
compounds theoretically could
cause individual sensitivity lo
the wonder drugs or help dis
ease germs build up resistance
to them.
Takes Samp Stand
An article and an editorial in
Ihe July 27 issue of Ihe journal
of the American Medical Asso
ciation (AMA1 took essentially
the same stand.
But that was before the slorm
of protest from the physicians
who make up the AMA. As
spokesman laler said the AMA
now plans to file, sometime be
fore the Nov. 15 deadline, com
ments critical of Ihe proposed
ban.
The spokesman offered no ex
planation for the change of
heart.
Reaction of the rirugmakers
was more consistent. They
have not argued that antibiolics
are effective acainst colds. But
they contend the medical pro
fession itself has urged them to
market such products as a con
venient and cheaper mixture of
drugs that are frequently pre
scribed for the same ailment.
