The trouble with piranha
fish-beside their man-eating
tendencies-is that they grow
up.
This is one factor that
brought complete accord today
among zoo-keepers, scientists,
the Interior Department and
the House immigration Sub
committee on Tightening ami
NAL immigration restrictions.
You can buy baby piranhas
in some pet stores. In home
aquariumS, the little South
American imports provide
sport by their slashing attacks
on bits of meat. But suppose
you grow attached to your
piranhas and when they out
grow the bowl you dump them
in a nearby stream instead of
killing them?
There are plenty of streams
in some Southern States where
piranhas could become estab-
liShed." Philip SHELDON of the
Toledo (Ohio) Zoo testified.
Mr.. SHELDON, who represented
the American Association of
geological Parks and Aquar-
iums, found nothing amusing
about a school of grown
piranhas-"they'll strip a COW
to a skeleton in three minutes"

New Quake

In Chile

The Coast and Geodetic Sur

quake at 2:08 am. (EDT) to-

SeiSmologists described it as
comparable to the first of the
series which damaged Chile,
but below the level of the dev-

The recording here was not
clear as to direction or dis
tance. But the University of
Chile's Seismological Institute
reported a quake, probably on
virtually uninhabited Yelling

reported from Santiago.
Seismographs at Boston, New

Tokyo also recorded tremors
which were believed to be in
the Chilean area.

Strait of Magellan which links

on an earthquake from the is

Senator Kefauver today crit
icized Welfare Secretary Flem-
ming and his aides for failure to
question the outside income of
DR.. Henry WEIGH, who left the
Food and Drug Administration
in the wake of disclosures about
his relationship with the drug
industry.
Senator Kefauver, chairman
of the subcommittee probing
the cost of prescription med
icines, said, II can't under
stand why somebody didn't put
the $64 question to him"
Mr.. Flemming said the Welch
case was primarily a matter of
misplaced confidence" in a
trusted scientist who had been
with FDA for % years. DR..
WEIGH was director of the
FDA's Division of Antibiotics
at the time of his resignation.
Regret Expressed
The Secretary said he now
regrets not thoroughly investi-
eating the matter before the
subcommittee revealed DR..
Welch had received $287, ,l42
since 1858 for editorial work
involving scientific journals
used by drug companies for
promotion and advertising.
Later testimony by FDA
Commissioner George Larrick
showed that only once did
Deputy Commissioner John
Harvey ask DR.. WEIGH about
this outside income. Mr.. Har-
vey said this occurred in Feb
ruary, 1859, but that the doc

This, Mr.. Harvey .old the

Secretary Flemming's atten-

Didn't that excite your sus-
picion?" Senator Carroll, Dem
ocrat of Colorado, asked Mr..
Flemming.
Started Him Thinking
Mr.. Flemming replied that
it started him thinking that
such connections between FDA
employees and certain scientific
journals must be unsound. He
said the incident was a "situa-
ton where a trusted employe
did not come clean with his
superiors."
He recalled that DR.. Welch
had received permission in the
early 1950s for such work and
said that had the doctor truth
fully represented the nature of
the work and the amount of
the income permission probably
never would have been granted.
Mr.. Flemming testified that
officials in HEW, including the
FDA, had been told that this
income represented merely a
customary honorarium.
why didn't you or Mr.. Lar
rick request the formula for
DR.. Welch's outside income?"
Senator Kefauver asked. He
was referring to the fact that
it often varied with the amount
of advertising in journals
edited by the doctor and the
number of reprints purchased
by drug companies.

Flemming replied. "They should

TOKYO, June 6 (AP)-The

Milk Strike
AVerted Here;
Price RiseDue
One Cent q Quurt
Increase Slated
For Consumers

Settlement yesterday of milk
truck drivers wage demands
here will probably result in a
1-cent-a-quart increase cost to
the consumer in a week to 10
days, local industry spokesmen
said today.
A threatened strike of the
drivers was averted when the
drivers and plant employees for
seven major dairies accepted q
new two-year contract.
Under terms of the new con-
tract, replacing a two-year con-
tract scheduled to expire at
midnight tonight, the drivers
of TeamsterS Local 246 will get
a $4-a-week increase in pay
now and another 81 increase
next year. The old contract
gave the drivers minimum
earnings of $84.10 to $86.85 a
week.
Plant workers and other
nondriver members of the
union at the dairies involved
will get a $5-a-week increase
now and the same amount
next year under the new con-
tract. The union represented
about 1850 employees during
the negotiations.
Vacations Extended
Other contract terms pro-
vide for a four-week vacation
after 20 years, as compared to
the old contracts provision of
three weeks after 10 years; in
creased holiday pay; guaran-
tee against pay loss for en-
ployes on jury duty, and new
benefits for death in an en-
ploye's family.
Both Michael H. Burchell,
honorary chairman of the in
dustry negotiating com nittee,
and William B. Hooper, gen.
eral manager of the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers
Association, agreed the wage
increase will be passed on to
the consumer within about a
week or 10 days.
. Settlement of the wage
negotiations was completed
after a 30-hour round-the-
clock session between union
negotiators and management
representatives of the Alex
andria, hestnut Farms,
Thompson'S, Embassy, Safe
way, Harvey and Birmingham
Diaries.
The final industry proposal
approved was submitted by
William E. Clark, president of
Local 246, and Eugene Hubbard,
business agent, at a member
ship meeting in the Willard
Hotel yesterday.
Negotiations had been going
on at the Hay-AdamS House
since May Is. Federal Mediator
Gilbert McCutcheon was called
in last Thursday and had taken
part in the negotiations up to
the time of the settlement.
The union voted on May 29 to
seek strike authority from its
international, in the event of
a stalemate. Milk deliveries to
all homes in the Washington
area would have been stopped,
and deliveries would have ended
for all stores except Highs,
whose drivers are nonunion.
