a call today before a special

charges that he conspired to

controversial cancer drug.
Commodore Alberto Carlos
Barreira, former Argentine un-
dersecretary Of aviation. testi-
fled yesterday that DR.. Moore,
AMA's treasurer, planned to
bankrupt the inventors Of kre-
biozen, forcing them to sell
their rights to commercial in
terests.
Earlier, a Chicago physician
and surgeon, DR.. Peter s. Y.

Moore had urged the discoverer
Of the drug. DR.. Stevan Duro-

Big Stir in Medical World.
The committee, named by the
Illinois State Legislature last
November to delve into a dispute
that has caused one of the big
-gest stirs in years in the medical
world, heard two other witnesses
at the opening session yesterday.
The committee is seeking to de-
termine whether a commercial
conspiracy has blocked research
with the drug or whether the
University of Illinois was justi-
fed last year in banning further
research.
Commodore Barreira, in testi-
mony and in an affidavit to the
committee, charged DR.. Moore
had threatened to destroy DR..
Durovic, former Yugoslav physi-
clan. and his brother Marco, an
attorney.
He said he uncovered a con-
Spiracy against the inventors by
acting as an undercover agent.
He quoted DR.. Moore as saying
at one conference in his Chicago
Office, "We are all interested just
in the money and we have to
meet together in order to find
the way to obtain it, lots of it.

DR.. Moore, ANA treasurer for
the last 10 years. told reporters
he viii, give his whole story as
soon as he appears before the
committee.
Commenting on the testimony
before the committee yesterday,
he told newSmen:
Most of the things they
talked about in relation to f1nan-
cial arrangements are lies. I
had no confidence in krebiozen.
I think it is one of the greatest
hoaxes of the last decade, and
I still feel that way"
Another witness was Nick
Stepeanovich, treasurer of the
Krebiozen Foundation, who tes-
titled "a sound Midwestern phar-
maceutical house" made a con-
ditional offer to DR.. Durovic of
81 million, plus royalties. for the
distribution rights to the drug.
He said DR.. Durovic rejected the
offer "in full" from the firm,
which he did not name.
