Hiqh Profits From Pain

The subcommittee has brought out
that small, efficient firms sell identi-
cal products at lower prices than the
major drug houses. The majors claim
that research and promotion and ad-
vertising drive their costs up. Ke-
fauver points out, however, that pro-
motion and advertising by the big
companies figure out to about $4,000
for every doctor in the U. S. Doctors
in some communities have been taken
on football parties with all expenses
paid by the drug firms.
The pricing of so-called wonder"
drugs beyond the reach of the per-
son of average and low income re-
calls the Salk polio vaccine fiasco.
The cost of complete set of three
shots in Canada, where there was
rigid control of prices, was $1.50. In
the U. S., the cost ranged up to $8.10
plus doctors fees.
What father or mother would not
spend every last cent he or she has
on drugs if it would save the life of
a child?
No wonder testimony before the
Senate subcommittee shows that the
drug industry's profits have been
twice that of any other industry dur
ing the past three years. Some of
them would bottle the air and sell it
if they could.
Another aspect of the drug prob
lem that will undoubtedly come be-
fore the subcommittee is the problem
of kickbacks. Reports on this are
made from time to time but no pat
tern has yet been established.

70% OF DOCTORS ACCEPT
KICKBACKS

In 1948, for example, the Los
Angeles Better Business Bureau an
nounced that 70 per cent of the
country's physicians were accepting
financial rebates from drugstores,
medical supply houses, opticians and
laboratories. In 1853, New York state
caught 1877 physicians in undercover
deals with druggists.
These "anything-for-a-buck" prac-
tices, of course, reflect the prevailing
moral code of Big Business. Big Busi-
ness has accepted such things as
rugged TV shows, flagrant tax evas-
ions, stock options that permit COM
pany officers to profit enormously
from the rising prices of the stocks
of their companies, lush expense ac-
counts, chain store pressure on sup
pliers for extra discounts, free trips
for military men by defense contrac-
tors, piling up overcharges on interest
on home mortgages, bribes by food
manufacturers to grocers to favor
their goods, the forcing of gas sta
tions by oil firms to handle certain

The Man Who Walked Alone"
was the subject of the sermon de-
livered by Rev. S. r. King at the
IL am. service Sunday, March %.
There were several themes out
lined in the message but the high
point was the seemingly paradox
ical situation of Christ being alone
with thousands of people throng-
ing around Him. Even with the
5000 that Christ fed with the
loaves and fishes, He was alone" "
said Rev. King, "and if we are to
do exceptional works we must ex-
pect to walk alone" The speaker
emphasized the fact that having
a number of people around you
doesn't mean companionship.
Rev. King weaved very interest
ingly, excerpts of DR.. BENJAMIN
Mays address to the University of
Minnesota graduates, into his ser
mon and constantly reminded us
that 1T is better to walk in the
shadow of a great man (often
alone), than to remain with the
status quo"
For his radio broadcast as plan
ned for this month leading up to
Easter, Rev. King continued his
series Of sermons unravelling the
personality of Christ. In the morn
ing message it was the lonely
Christ and for the broadcast it
was the humble Christ who rode
INTO Jerusalem on a donkey.
The most unique and interesting
anology that could be made was
between Christ and the donkey.

Displaced Negroes
Relocation Problem
In Trenton, N. ].

Trenton, N. ]. (ANP) - A re-
development program to relocate
Negroes in East Orange faces a
major problem, it was reported
Tuesday by William ]. Sager.
chairman Of that city's program.
Sager told the housing authori-
ty that the citys 4th Ward plan
ming and survey application had
been returned by the Housing and
Home Finance Agency because of
inadequate provision for displaced
persons.
While the problem Of relocating
Negro displaced persons, faces the
city at this time, heretofore the
city's urban renewal program had
Ward.
The 4th Wards application, sub
mitted last December, listed 500
families to be displaced, of which
$40 are Negro.
1t also showed that the 1850
census Of Negro housing discloses
there are insufficient facilities
available for relocating these
people and that little help can be
expected from neighboring New
ark and Orange which have ex-
tensive redeveopment programs of
their own.
