New u. 5. Drug Law
|Tiqhtens Control Over
Prescription RefiI|s
By Wallace {. CIoyton

A new law goes into effect over
the Nation tomorrow which will
bring sale OF many drugs requir-
ing a prescription under more
rigid control.
The regulation. in the form OF
an amendment to the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act
specifically forbidS refilling of mar
cotics prescriptions even if au-
thority for renewal is written on
the doctors original prescription
A new prescription must be OBJ
tanned.
All drugs and medications-ex-
cept insulin-which are admin
tistered by needle cannot be sold
without a prescription.
Manufacturers are responsible
for labelling all dangerous and
habit-forming drugs with the leg
end. Caution: Federal law pro-
hibits dispensing without prescrip-
ltion."
Home Remedies" Excepted.
The act. however. allows drug
gists to refill on their own initia-
tive prescriptions which call for
non-harmful drugs-the Simple
home ready" type of medication
such as some laxatives and cough
remedies.
It also permits druggists to refill
prescriptions for all other nom
narcotic drugs if they receive tele-
phone permission from the doctor
concerned "or his authorized
agent"
This section is designed to:
l. Spell out specific authority
for a practice now followed by
many pharmacists. Existing regu-
lations are unclear on this point.
2. Guarantee that no prescrip-
tionS containing "non-safe" drugs
are refllled without consultation
with a physician.
Point of Confusion,
It IS this second point which
druggists feel may create con-
fusion on the part of the public
Laws governing refills are some-
what hazy, and many druggists
have been using their own discre-
ton in ref1lling a prescription at
the request of customer.
Officials Of the District Pharma-
ceutical Association anticipate
many complaints from persons
accustomed to having prescrip-
tions containing "non-safe" drugs
retilled without question.
They admit it will take time for
the public to become accustomed
to this particular section of the
amendment.
Controls Sleeping Pills.
One Of the purposes of the
amendment, written by Repre-
sentative Durham, Democrat. of
North Carolina and Senator Hum
phrey. Democrat, of Minnesota, is
to provide a more effective control
over NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. pills
Both Congressman are pharma-
cistS.
Barbiturates are now labeled as
harmful and requiring prescrip-
ton. However, sponsors feel the
new amendment, by plugging the
refill loophole, will restrict a per-
sons supply of sleeping pills to
exactly the amount a doctor feels
is necessary.

Hoffman Calls Article
On House Rules Unit 5
Powers Misleading

Representative Hoffman, Re-
publican. Of Michigan said in a
House speech yesterday that a
Sunday Star editorial feature ar
ticle on congressional practices
gave misleading impression of
the House Rules Committees
power.
He explained that the commit
tee does not have the House at
its mercy so far as floor considera-
ton of bills is concerned. Such
consideration cannot be blocked
by the committee on a calendar
Wednesday unless two-thirds of
the House members oppose con-
Sideration, he said.
That applies in cases where
other committee chairmen call I'D
bills even though the Rules Com
mittee has not given clearance,
he noted. Another House rule
provides that bills. if refused by
a rule by the Rules Committee,
can be brought to the floor on a
petition signed by a majority of
House members. he added.
Mr.. Hoffman also took exception
to a statement that the Rules
Committee can meet only at the
chairman's call. He said a ma
jority Of the committee can file
written demand for a meeting if
the chairman refuses or neglects
to hold a session after a request
by three members.
The article. to which Mr.. Hoff-
man referred and which he praised
as very helpful to members of
Congress" was entitled Can an
Eighteenth Century Congress Do a
Twentieth Century Job?" It ap-
peared last Sunday.
Editors note: Technical excep-
tions to the general proposition
laid down in the paragraph in
question are correctly stated by
Representative Hoffman. What
The Star intended to convey and
should have said Is that the atti-
tude of the Rules Committee, and
particularly its chairman, in prac-
tice spells life or death for most
bills which do not concern appro-
priationS or taxes.}

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 20.-Legisla-
ton designed to eliminate illegal

According to the sponsor, Dele
gate John F. McNulty, Democrat,

seized in Maryland between last
July l and December 81. as COM
pared with IL stills put out of
operation during the entire 12-
month period beginning July /,
1947.
- Truck-load Purchases.
So far as the importation of
liquor from the District is con-
cerned, Mr.. McNulty said:
More and more, the transient
Washington purchaser is SWITCH
ing from occasional individual
purchases of a few bottles to auto
mobile loads. and even truck-ioad-
purchases; from petty individual
purchases to organized bootleg
ging."
Under State law. Mr.. McNulty
explained. any one may bring a
maximum Of two f1fths of whisky

Judge Meeks denounced the action of
Woodson's counsel and condemned the

practice and unethical proceedings" How

to obtain counsel of his choice AT that

Walter Woodson Trial
By RANDOLPH WHITE

PALMYRA--Because he had failed to
make satisfactory financial arrangements
with his lawyers, Walter James Woodson,
35-year-old former Fluvanna County res
ident charged with felonious assault and
attempted rape, found himself without
representation when his case was called
here September 10.
When court opened, Percy C. Smith,
senior member of the Smith and SIN tn
law firm of Richmond, which reputedly
was the defendants counsel, rose and adj
vised the court that he was not represent
ing the accused.
Smith told Judge Edward Meeks that,
although he had promised relatives of
Woodson that he would handle the case
provided they made proper financial ar
engagements, they had failed to do so and
he could not continue.
Robert j. Smith, son of Percy Smith,
represented Woodson last month when
his case was locked for trial this week.
At that time, the younger Smith especial
ly requested the September 10 date, ex-
planning that he wished the court to al
low the time to permit his fathers return
from vacation, since his father would be
handling the case.
Ralph Zehler, Commonwealth Attorn-
ey, strongly objected to the postponement
He said he had understood ali along that
the firm of Smith and Smith would handle
the case and that he had prepared his

by where he tried to rape her. Woodson's
mother contends that he had not left her
house all evening of August 6. date of
alleged crime.
From the writer's observations, the at
mosphere was quite calm during the brief
proceedings. White and Negro citizens
could be seen in little groups chattering
amicably, after court had adjourned. The
courtroom was nearly full with about an
equal number of whites and Negroes. VI
most fairness was also shown in the selec-
ton of the jury panel. Five of the nine
teen summoned were Negroes.

tSenhoWeT's Running-Matp Ace Doughboy

The Republican Standard Bearers first
lieutenant seems to be top-flight dough
boy
Since we wrote the little piece titled
Democrats for Ike Committee" appear
ing IN the September 20 issue of The Trib-
une, it seems that Senator Richard M.
Nixon, the Generals running mate has
gotten further involved in questionable
money deals
What will our local Democrats for
Eisenhower Committee think of this little
ness" involving the second i'm command
OF the leader whom they profess to be-
heve can clean up the ''mess in Washing
TONI"
This time the California senator is sup
posed to have received the sum of ST.
10000 during the past two years from
wealthy business men in his state about
which he kept mum
Even The Charlottesville Daily Pro-
gress, pro-Eisenhower paper, comment
ed editorially in its September 20 issue
that even if financial arrangements un-
der which Nixon received some $4,000
100 in privately contributed expense mon
ey should prove to have been as wholly
innocent, as he says it was, the California
senator was nevertheless guilty of seri-
Gus error in judgement" This, of course,
is marked trait of certain elephant
Party officials extending over many
years.
Ex-Congresswoman H EN- Gahagen
Douglas, of California, who was report
eddy smeared out of her bid for re-elec-
tion in 1948 by Mr. Nixon, must be laugh
ing up her sleeves at his present predica-
ment.
1t seems that the 100000 delivered
to Nixon's campaign headquarters during
his 1850 campaign by Henry w. Grune-
valid (the Dutchman), Washington's ace
'fixer,' was merely chicken feed COM
pared to dough deliveries since that
time. Yes, the good senator seems to have
been "eating higher on the hog"
And, incidentally, we note by recent
press reports that "Brer" Grrnewald,
who recently "froze-up" while testifying
as witness before Congressional Tax
Probe Committee, claiming to be suffer
ing with a "heart ailment," has been
found free of illness by government-ap-
pointed physician. Just an old trick used
by these "fast boys when the going gets
too rugged.
How Senator Nixon wiggles out of this
little mess" remains to be SEEN But wig
gle out he will if his Party's ace fixers
get half chance to swing the deal
