Opposes Regulation of Industry
DR.. Upjohn called a sugges-
ton that the drug industry be
placed under public utility-type
regulations irresponsible"
The suggestion was made
earlier by a small drug manu-
facturer.
I'VE could not support the
kind of work tresearch) We are
doing on the kind Of return
we'd be allowed" DR.. Upjohn
said.
DR.. Upjohn's comment came
after the subcommittee CEN
tered its attention on Upjohn's
profits, which in four years
nearly equaled its net worth.
Don't you think that's going
pretty faSt?" Senator Kefauver
asked. "A company earning
enough profits in four years to
pay for itself is pretty remark
able"
1T is a record of success,

Muccio Seen
Post
In Iceland
By the Associated Press

Diplomatic authorities said
yesterday they expect Ambas-
sador John Joseph Muccio to
step aside soon as envoy to
Iceland, a post he has held
for five years.
Mr.. Muccio, who will be so
in March. has been in the
Foreign Service for 80 years.
With credit for hardship
posts abroad, he is said to have
an effective service record for
retirement purposes Of more
than 40 years. The expecta-
ton therefore is that he will
return.
The State Department, asked
about reports of Mr.. Muccio's
possible retirement. would say
only that retirement of an
Ambassador is a matter for
the White House. There was
no comment from the White
House.
Officials did say privately,
however, that Mr.. Muccio's re-
lations with the government
Of Iceland have been good in
spite of difficulties between
that government and Ameri-
can military authorities there.
These informants declared
that if any change was made
it would not have any connec-
ton with the base difficulties.
Mr.. Muccio went to Iceland
as Minister in August, 1854,
and became Ambassador when
the two countries raised their
level Of representation in Oc-
tober, 1855.
His previous assignments
have included extensive serv-
ice in the Far East and Latin
America, as well as Western
Europe. He served in Korea in
the late l940S as Ambassador.

DrugC costs, Profits 90 High,
KefouverCh rChorgesotHeoring
By CHARLES G. BROOKS
star stan Writer

The prices of drugs used to
combat arthritis are too high,
Senator Kefauver said late yes
terday as he ended the first
phase Of his investigation into
medicine costs.
Il think it has been shown
that prices are too high and
that there is too large a margin
between the cost of finished
drug products and the original
bulk cost" he told the Senate
Antitrust and Monopoly Sub
committee at the close of week.
long hearings.
The Tennessee Democrat
said the hearings-which may
stretch into early summer
probably will resume in mid
January.
The two most likely subjects
for the next phase of the in
vestigation are tranquilizers
and modern antibiotics.
Senator Kefauver said the
subcommittee has evidence
that some $3.50 million is being
spent for drugs which may be
either harmful or useless.
Legislation Suggested
This, he said, calls for pos
sible action by the Federal
Trade Commission, the Food
and Drug Administration and
perhaps the Post Office depart
ment.
He said he believes some leg
islation should be considered
to protect people from "quack-
ery"-particularly in the ar
Thrills drug field.
The Senator said drug COM
panies may be putting too much
money into marketing and
promoting as compared to re-
search.
These high costs, he said, do
not help to expand the market
as drug company representa-
tives have testified.
He recalled testimony claim
ing that one-third of every
sales dollar is spent on adver-
tising and promotion.
Prices of drugs in this
country are entirely too high
as compared to the prices of
identical drugs produced by
the same manufacturers and
sold in foreign countries, SEN
ator Kefauver added.
Cites Highest Profit"
He cited the difference be-
tween the relatively high cost
OF medicines sold to retail
pharmacies and the low prices
charged Government agencies
for the same drugs as another |
indication that the prices are
too high.
The drug industry, Senator
Kefauver said, has enjoyed
the highest profit of any other |
major industry in recent |
years"
Earlier, the subcommittee was
told that a large company sells
o female sex hormone to drug
gistS at 10000 per cent more
than it pays for it.

chief counsel, said the Upiohn

Called Unfair
DR.. E. Clifford Upjohn, presi-
dent of the company, however,
called this an unfair compar-
ison. He said the subcommittee
was comparing the cost of a
raw material and the sale of
the finished product at retail
outlets.
The cost of a raw material
is but a fraction Of the cost, "
he said
At that point Senator Wiley,
Republican of Wisconsin, came
to the defense of the drug in
duStry.
He said one must look at the
picture as a whole TO deter
mine what profits any industry
is making.

BIO Grade Crossing
Defended by Attorney

The B & o Railroad, crit
cized by many for operating
dangerous grade crossings,
has at least one defender in
Rockville.
He Is Donald A. De Lashmutt,
Of 119 Forest ave. a former DO.
lice court and trial magistrate
for Montgomery County.
De Lashmutt, an attorney,
contends that since far more
people are killed on highways
than on railroad crossings
money should be spent on more
stop signs, warning signals,
safety engineering, etc.
De Lashmutt was instrumen,
tai back in 1927 in having funds
switched from a railroad bridge
program to a program of build,
ing back country lateral roads,
1t was that year, he said, that
the General Assembly was pom
dering a two and three-quarter
cents gasoline tax to pay for
bridges over railroads, and a
half-cent gasoline tax to build
lateral roads.
De Lashmutt took 1t upon
himself to go before the WAYS
and Means Committee to argue
in favor of more roads instead
of railroad bridges. He pointed
out that since the railroads at
that time were in financial
trouble, they would not be able
to put up matching funds re-
quired in the proposed law for
railroad bridges.
Instead, he argued, the mis-
cradle mud roads in Maryland
resulted in many more deaths
than occurred on railroad cross
ings.
De Lashmutt said he was sue.
