Firm Says 1t Makes Cortisone
From Poisonous Mexican Yam

Mexico. Natives use them for
soap and as fish bait. One yam
may weigh 500 pounds.
Syntex said it now uses 500 tons
of yams a month in its Mexico
City plant. 1t plans a $4,000, 900
expansion program.
The Syntex announcement said
that yam cortisone would cost
about the same as the OK bile
product. But it added that the
yam way is simpler and that costs
are likely to drop as production
increases.
Two years ago cortisone sold to
doctors for 5000 a gram. Merck
& Co. now markets the drug,
under the trade name Cortone. to
doctors for $50 a gram.
Scientists in the United States
also are seeking new sources for
the wonder drug and are working
with soy beans and other mate
'rials. An additional cortisone
supply will come within a year
when Merck completes its second
OK bile cortisone plant.

3 Accused Cadets
Begin Exodus From
Military Academy
Rx The As.ncintsd pr..,

WEST POINT, N. Y, Aug. 15-
IThirty-three of the 80 accused
Military Academy cadets are
civilians today, most of them
slated for early dates with their
draft boards unless they gain ad-
mittance to other colleges.
Their glum exodus from the
Academy marked the beginning
of the greatest mass expulsion in
the 150-year history of the
Point"
All 80 are accused of violating
the West Point honor code by
cheating on examinations.
Col. James B. Leer, academy
information officer, said yester-
day that almost all" of the de-
parting 80 had resigned-rather
than be waived out of the Army
under administrative discharges.
Must Register for Draft.
The cadets who resigned left
under an administrative order,
which implies neither an honor
able nor a diShonorable discharge.
They received 30-day emergency
leaves. When the leaves expire,
those not already registered for
seiective service must report to
their local draft boards.
Each departing cadet was inter-
viewed by Maj. Gen. Frederick A.
Irving. academy superintendent.
Col. Leer said Gen. Irving told
each cadet he was confident"
they would rise above this and
have a successful career"
At least 10 more of the accused
cheaterS will be fully proceSsed
today and take their last walk"
through the academy gates. The
remainder of the 80 are expected
to be gone by the end of the week.
1 Plans Are Varied.
The names of the accused
cadets never have been made pub
lie, except when individuals identi-
fed themselves as part of the
group.
The plans of the departing
cadets were uncertain. Some said
they may get married, others
didn't like to talk about their
future, and many were interested
in continuing their educations.
Some of the latter group were
very interested in the offer by
Francis Cardinal Spellman-en-
rollment in three Catholic schools
in his New York archdiocese.
Many colleges do not accept
transfers as a matter of institu-
tional policy.

a Cents for Letters,
Other Postal Boosts
Voted by Senators

A rise from to cents in
the postal rate on letters was
voted by the Senate Post Office
Committee yesterday. It is part
Iof a bill generally increasing
postal rates to bring in 1868 mil
lion more a year in revenue.
Air mail letters would go from
6 to 8 cents. Parcel post Fourth
class) charges also would increase.
At the same time the commit
tee approved a bill to increase
salaries Of postal workers by be-
tween 5000 million and $3.50 mil
lion.
The rate rise bill, previously
approved on July 10. was amend
ed to include an increase in rates
on fourth-class matter. This, in
effect, restores to Congress the
Irate-making authority on fourth
class mail-taking it away from
the Postmaster General and the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The committee also approved,
as a separate measure a bill to
limit the size and weight of parcel
post packages. It was generally
conceded this might result in
loss of revenue to the Post Office
Department by diversion of larger
packages to express handling, al
though no estimate of the amount
has been made.
Postal rate increase bill pro-
Ivides, in general, as follows:
First class-PoStal cards would
require cents instead of / cent,
no matter by whom sent Gas orig
inally approved, postals sent by
non-profit organizations would
have remained at l cent?; 3-cent
letters would be increased to 4
cents; air-mail letters from 6 to 8
cents; air-mail postal cards from
4 to 5 cents. and drop letters from
l to 2 cents.
Second CLASSMATES would be
raised 10 per cent the first, 10 per
cent the second and 10 per cent
the third year, or total of 80 per
cent over three years, instead of
100 per cent as originally pro-
Iposed.
