began selling the drugs in bulk
to smaller companies.
Under questioning, Mr..
Brown said that each Of these
licensed companies had re-
uuested the licenses knowing
that If Schering is successful in
getting the patient they will
need them.
He asked how it is possible
to license a drug. collect royal
ties and restrict the drug when
his company doesn't even have
a patient. Mr.. Brown asserted
that there was nothing Illegal
in this practice, that the drugs
were not really restricted and
that the rapid mortality rate of
new drugs is so great that "we
felt the royalties rates justi-
/ fed"
Can't Sell to DrugstOres
Mrs. Till said that If Schering
gets the patent for prednisone
and prednisolone. the smaller
companies won't get the mate
rial without paying high prices.
Even though smaller companies
have been getting some of the
drugs in bulk. she said. they
haven't been able to get their
products into drugstores.
This. she said. is because only
the pharmaceutical giants can
afford the hundreds of detail
men used to promote the drugs
to doctors and druggists. These
smaller companies have. how
ever. been active in selling to
hospitals, the armed services
and the Veterans Administra-
ton.
It was during the discussion
Of cross licensing before a pat
ent that Mr.. Dixon made his
accusation Of antitrust law
violations.
1000 Per Cent Markup
DR.. John Blair, economic ad-
vised to the committee, yester-
day said Schering placed a
markup on certain drugs of UP
to 7.o79 per cent.
Mr.. Brown said his COM
pany and other large producers
spend huge sums on research
and troll whereas the
smaller companies. with rock
bottom prices, offer mo con-
tribution to medicine. They
are. he said, mere pill produc-
ers.
The big 7,079 per cent mark
up cited by committee lnves-
tigators was on the drug
estiodol. sold by Schering un-
der the trade name of Progy-
non. One hundred pills. ac-
cording to DR.. Blair, costs the
manufacturer something like
IL cents These are sold to the
druggist, he said, for $40.
The suggested retail price is
$3.50. This drug is often used
to help regulate female dis
orders.

President In
VetoesA Again:
A Tax Refund

President Eisenhower sent
another veto to Congress to-
day, but adjournment-minded
members showed no interest in
wanting to override it.
He disapproved a minor
measure that would have
permitted tax refunds to the
Eber Brothers Wine and Liquor
Corp. The company failed to
claim a refund for the 1947
and 1948 taxable years by the
1852 deadline. Meanwhile, in
view of a United States Tax
Court decision in another case,
the company contended it now
should be entitled to a refund.
This was the 10th veto Mr..
Eisenhower sent to Congress
this year and the 147th since
he entered the White House in
1853. Only one was overridden,
his second veto of the public
works appropriation bill last
week.

A new gadget that promises
unparalleled accuracy in meas
uring the speed and distance
Of missiles, space ships and
satellites has been developed
by a West Coast firm.
1t is called the Light Foot
Quantizer" because Of its abil-
ity to split time so finely that
it can measure as brief an in
terval as it takes light to travel
a foot. Lights speed is roughly
10000 miles a second. which
means that the Light Foot
Quantizer is accurate to less
than one part In a quarter OF
a billion.
The first 'LFQ" was built
for the Air Research and De.
velopment Command by Com.
puter Equipment Corp. of 10:

sled track at Edwards Air Force
Base. Calf. A similar device
will be produced for use al
Holloman AFB. N. Mex. where
Col. John Paul Stapp gained
fame as the fastest man or

miles an hour.
According to its inventor
Matthew A. Alexander. the

cupy more than two cubic feet
(about the size of a standard
file drawer) for airborne use,
Mr.. Alexander said.
First models Of the LFQ re-
portedly are accurate to only"
20 light feet, or about 20 one
billionths of a second. This
limitation. its manufacturers
says, will be reduced until the
ultimate limitation is reached.
This limitation is the length
of time 1t takes an electron to
travel a half inch.
A spokesman for the concern
said simple geometry "appar-
ent to a high school junior"
could be the basis for accurate
surveying on earth, tracking of
missiles or satellites, or deter
mination of space ships posi-
tions.
Time resolution up to now
has been limited to about one
one-millionth Of a second.
Emergence Of LFQ with a Is
millimicrosecond accuracy can
be regarded as something of a
breakthrough, improving time
measurement by a factor of so.
LFQ at its ultimate accuracy
would be a thousand times as
precise as the best standard
measurers, its makers claim.

The British Ambassador to

A radio alert was put out

Earlier, the Coast Guard
checked on a telephone report

A patrol plane dropped
flares and two surface craft

the mystery began yesterday

He noted that they included
such legislation as labor re-
