The question will be wheth-
er the Kefauver committee
will be debarred from inves-
tigating these fields in which
litigation of some form or
other is pending. Some COM
mittee members believe that
they should go full steam
ahead on the ground that
the problem of high drug
pricing is so overriding that
only legislative remedies are
possible.
Many experts have come to
the conclusion that the small
cluster of antitrust laws,
often watered down by the
courts, are no longer effec-
tive. They point out that even
when there is a criminal con-
viction under the Sherman
Antitrust Act, the maxi
mum fine is $50,000, small
potatoes in the antibiotics
and tranquilizer businesses.
There is no doubt of the
determination of Senator
Kefauver to drive boldly
down the road he has set for
his committee. The question
is whether other members of
the committee are as deter
mined as he to squeeze some

responsive chord and there is
little doubt that the public

Two Birth Control Laws
Upheld in Connecticut

HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. %
(AP).-The State Supreme
Court of Errors today upheld
the constitutionality of two
State laws dealing with birth
control.
The laws prohibit the use OF
contraceptive devices and forbid
physicians from advising their
use under any circumstances.
The court. in an unanimous
decision. said the laws "are a
constitutional exercise Of legis-
lative power"
1t said "the judiciary has q
duty to test legislative action
by constitutional principles, but
it cannot. in that process, usurr
the power Of the Legislature.
Connecticut's highest court
was ruling on four suits brought
against the laws, which often
have been involved in court
tests since they were passed
in 1879.
Backers of the suits had in
dicated in advance of the rul-

PoSt-Paris reflections:

Wv 90 40 ASAASNbAOAAos
One rugged day in the
second great war Winston
Churchill, harassed by Gen.
eral de Gaulle's demands and
frustrated By American diff
ferenceS. said YEARLY:
There is only one thing
worse than fighting a war
with allies and that is
fighting one without them"
We have learned it is not
easy to have allies in peace.
1t is a conclusion which
rises strongly out of the
Allied deliberations in Paris.
After all is said and done,
1t is doubtful if the Western
Allies are ready for a summit
session with the Soviet. A
better understanding exists,
but there is no spirit of the
Three Musketeers about it.
Nikita Khrushchev is soon
to come to Paris. He and
De Gaulle, we know, see eye
to eye on the German ques-
ton. Neither wants a united
Germany. although, to be
sure, their reasons differ.
If, when the tough, self
typed Old Sparrow comes to
Paris the Algerian war is not
in the process of settlement
or armistice, there may even
be some sort of unexpected
treaty between France and
Russia emerge from the ses-
sion. If President Eisen-
hower's great psychological
victory in dulling the Red
Star as the star of peace is
submerged in the political
power struggle of the next
Congress, there will be those
who will wish to postpone
the meeting with the SovietS
until after the election.

AS West Moves Into Summit Series

versy between Cuba and the
United States.
Because of the danger that
a local war can overnight
become a big war and be-
cause of the widespread feel
ing that a nuclear conflict
must be avoided at all costs
there is really no way to
solve by military pressure
some of the issues that have
arisen around the world.
In the absence of any
leverage such as has influ-
enced the course of history
in the past. the situation will
continue to drift from crisis
to crisis without any deter
mined effort by the West to
come to grips with the Com
munist campaign for world
conquest. Indeed, inside all
the Western countries the
activities of a hard core
of Communists. well-trained
and we'll financed, are begin
ming to be ignored or pooh
poohed. Even the advocacy
Of treason is held to be a
form of free speech" and
the Western countries are
finding their parliaments and
their governments letting
down the bars against active
Communists who manage to
inf1ltrate universities. the
press and various church
organizations.
Perhaps the most OUT
standing victory the Com
munist propagandiSts and
inf1ltrators have won Is in
their campaign to ban nu-
clear weapons tests. A small
group Of dedicated Com
munists, first aligned with
American and European
paciflstS, started the crusade.
The public finally was mis-
takenly led to believe that
radioactivity was so immedi-
ately dangerous as to affect
human health. On top Of this
came the agitation for an
international conference to
ban nuclear tests. 1t has not
gotten very far despite the
continuously optimistic state
ments issued about a possible
agreement. The Communists,
of course. will never agree to

price, he said, but 1t is not
in the cost of our aid pro-
gram. 1t lies. he said, in "our
alignment with one political
dictator after another, which
blurs our image as a people
who are willing to practice
as we'll as preach freedom"
Moreover, the improved
stability which he found de-
pended on "our continued
aid and presence" he said.
Nor is it merely Senator's
who are determined to try
and write a new program
and pattern of foreign aid.
Those who need it, and seek
it, also have ideas.
President Bourguiba Of Tu-
nisia was very frank about
it. He will serve as an ex-
ample.
Economic aid" he told
the President, should not be
considered as a means of
gaining sympathy. but as a
duty in the service of peace
and world stability"
And who could quarrel
with that? Because we are a
somewhat innocent people
with a sort of Christmas bas-
ket concept of giving to the
poor. we have seen our Con-
gresSmen, rejecting constit-
uent opinion, grow angry at
lack Of gratitude" Many
Americans saw aid merely as
charity. They did not COM
prehend it in terms of build
ing political stability against
Russian political penetration.
And, now that Europe has
attained it, and is Offering
competition, many of our
people somehow are irritated
by the fact Europe is no
longer poor.
The President comes back
to face stark realities.
But each and every one of
us is facing them with him.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Memories Haunt De GuuIIe

these threats which could
have affected the existence
Of the reborn French army,
De Gaulle refused to be in
timidated and won his OBJ
jectives. Much water has
flowed over the dam since
those days. After a 12-year
absence from public life, De
Gaulle is back as the elected
President of France with far
greater power and prestige
than he had during his short
stay as administrator Of q
provisional government.
De Gaulle made known his
determination to fully CO.
operate with the NATO on
the basis of national forces"
soon after he took Office. But
the rumpus caused by the
publicity given to the top
secret speech of Gen. Nathan
Twining before the NATO
commanders, chastising g
France for dragging its feet,
stirred up once more the
suspicion of the French Pres
ident that there was some
thing more than met the eye.
His old memories of the
anglo Saxon" plot to un-
saddle him in 1945 must have
returned Hence his con-
tinued determination not to
yield one iota on the matter
of uniflcation of forces.
De Gaulle has two prec-
edents for his stand: The
refusal Of the American Gov
ernment in 1917 to place the
American forces under Gen.
Pershing under the direct
command of Marshal Foch
and the fact that in the
Mediterranean the American
9Th Fleet is not taking orders
from the NATO naval COIN
mander in that area, a Brit.

Allies Called Unprepored for Summit;
Congress Changing View of Foreign Aid

We already have warnings
of the probable mood of
Congress.
Senator Albert Gore, able
and fortnight TenneSsean,
is just back from the Middle
East and Southeast Asia. He
could not contain all his
emotions. He declared fatty,
and with some heat, that the
next Congress drastically will
cut any presidential request
for foreign aid unless the
White House gives evaluation
reports on individual Ma
tion's programs to its legis-
lation committees.
The Senator cited abuses
in Wet Nam. He said these
were due, in the main, to
faulty administrative pro-
cedures in the International
Cooperation Administration.
The ineff1ciency can best be
summed up by the phrase
too many chiefs and not
enough Indians" 1t is diff
f1cult to recruit men to
foreign relief service who
are willing to live in the vii
lagos and serve almost as
missionaries. There often is
too much hanging around the
flesh pots of the capitals.
Much paper work is done.
This seems to call for a great
number of official cars. The
status seekers are every
where.
Senator Gore echoes a
policy which already has been
in part initiated. 1t is to
make most of the aid pro-
gram apply directly to health,
education and welfare, and
to capital improvements such
as dams, roads, etc.

vate with greater zeal than
in public.
Senator Wiley, Republican
of Wisconsin, carried the
torch for the drug makers
in the first public sessions
dealing with antiarthritis
drugs. He. appears now to
have been persuaded by the
reactions to his efforts that
he was putting himself in
the light of being a supporter
of high drug prices, a posi-
ton which would not be
popular with his constituents.
Committee staff members
who have been preparing at
least three years for the in
vestigation, say that so far
only the surface has been
scratched. Hearings are to
be resumed, in public if Sena-
tor Kefauver has his way,
in January. What is urfde-
cided now is what group of
drugs will be gone into.
The most sensitive areas
for the pharmaceutical in
dustry are the antibiotics
and the tranquilizers. This
is where the most money is.
But there will be arguments
against the committee in
vestigating prices in either
group. The Federal Trade
Commission has a long, ex-
ceedingly slow moving suit
pending against makers of
antibiotics. The Justice De-
partment has jumped in with
the announcement that it will
have a grand jury investigate

Poland and the Balkan
states.
The French had sent
troops to the small French
inhabitated areas in the Alps
which they wanted but they
were threatened with dire
reprisals" by American troops
unless they withdrew at once.
De Gaulle remained firm in
the face Of those threats. In
the meantime the French
intelligence obtained a copy
Of Prime Minister Churchill's
communication to President
Truman in which De Gaulle
was described as "the enemy
Of the allies" The Briton
further urged Mr.. Truman to
remain adamant toward the
then head Of the French
provisional government and
added that ION the basis of
very reliable information OBJ
tanned from important French
political quarters such a
stand by Britain and the
United States will unques-
tionably result in the down.
fall Of De Gaulle."
The fact that Mr.. Truman
attempted to force the hand
Of De Gaulle by threatening
to cut of all supplies pro-
vided by the American Gov
ernment to the French troops
further confirmed the inter-
cepted communication that
the heads of government of
Britain and America were
in full agreement to force de

Chicago Suburb
Votes Bonds, 2-1,
As Race Guard

DEERFIEID, Ill, Dec. %
(AP) ).-All-white Deerfield has
voted 2-1 approval of a bond
issue which will enable the
village park board to buy up
the site Of a proposed inter-
racial housing subdivision.
Running up the heaviest viii
lage vote in the history of this
Chicago suburb of 10000, resi-
dents approved, 2,635 to 1,207,
yesterday. a park board refer
endum to issue $550,000 in
bonds. The park board has
said it would use the money to
acquire six tracts of land, in
cludlng two which encompass
the proposed integrated Floral
Park subdivision.
The referendum required
only a "yes" or mo" on
whether the park board should
issue the bonds. But the heavy
vote was attributed to the queS-
ton of whether Deerfield would
accept Negro residents.
The racial dispute began No.
vember 3 when Progress Devel-
opment Corp. announced that
10 to IL of the 81 homes in its
planned Floral Park project
would be sold to Negroes. The
homes on the 23-acre develop
ment were described as being
in the 100000 price class.
In all, 1866 residents voted,
an estimated Sc per cent of
those eligible. Seventy-three
ballots were voided as spoiled .

French President Believes anglo Soxons'
Plotted His Downfall After World War II

President Eisenhower's
flag showing" and diplo-
matte errands are coming to
a close with the flag show
ing" part of the trip a COM
plete succeSs-greater than
the President and his advisers
ever expected.
But the hard diplomatic
talks with French President
de Gaulle have been far less
successful. There are two
definite reasons for the con-
tinuation of the misunder-
standing between the French
leader-who Is considered by
many as the spokesman for
the continental bloc"-and
our President who embodies
political thinking of what
the French regard as the
anglo Saxon bloc" And the
French seem as concerned
over the traditional British
policy Of divide and rule"
as they are over Communist
expansion.
President EiSenhower's con-
cept of foreign policy is peace
in our time based necessarily
on the philosophy of an
eventual "one world" De
Gaulle's concept. like that Of
the rest of the continental
powers, is definitely and
strictly nationalistic.
De Gaulle and his asso-
ciates in continental Europe
are willing to make real ef-
forts to avoid the horrors Of
another general war, but
they are not willing to sac
rif1ce traditional national
interests" at the altar Of in
ternationalism. In this re-
spect alone the continental
bloc is closer to the philoso-
ply of Premier Khrushchev
than that Of Eisenhower; for
the Soviet Union is the most
tlercely nationalistic state in
the world these days.
But there is another rea-
son why the misunderstand-
ings between us and the
French concerning the NATO
have not been smoothed
over. That reason is the deep
suspicion of De Gaulle dating
back to 1944-45 that the
anglo Saxons" do not like
to see him at the helm Of
France.
Had the Eisenhower ad-
visers and State Department
taken the trouble to read the
memoirs of De Gaulle pub
lished late this fall under the
title lie Salut" (Salvation)
they would have realized why
the French President contin-
ues to suspect the motives of
London and Washington. He

Postponement is the order
Ot the day now. Settlement
Of the big problems in world
affairs has been put farther
and farther of.
This is the true meaning Of
the Paris conference Just
concluded. For it was an
nounced that the summit"
meeting on April 81 in Paris
is to be merely the first of a
series to be held from time
to time"
This formula, originally at
tributed to Prime Minister
Macmillan. postpones for
months and perhaps years the
settlement Of any outStand-
ing issues Of Importance. Un-
less the SovietS provoke an
other crisis over Berlin-and
there is little reason for them
to do so as long as they are
achieving their other objec-
tiveS-the situation will drift
on as at present for a long,
long time.
The Com m unists have
everything to gain and really
nothing to lose by the for
mula of postponement. For it
gives them a chance to con-
solidate their gains. It creates
an impression behind the
Iron Curtain that the West
ern allies will not exert them
selves to help liberate the
captive or enslaved peoples
and that, for all practical
purposes, the So-called sta
tus quo" will be maintained.
Meanwhile, there will con-
tinue to be two German gov
ernments, two Korean gov
ernments, two Chinese gov
ernments and two govern
mentS in what used to be
1ndo-China and now is called
North and South Wet Nam.
These divisions will mean
continued friction and a
danger of further outbreaks.
In addition, there are evil
dences that Red China has
embarked on a course of
continued haraSsment of In
