Bill on Selecting
Graves Backed

The Secretary of Defense
would recommend monuments
or graves to be included in the
Arlington Memorial Ampithe-
ater, under a bill which was
unopposed yesterday at a House
hearing.
The bills sponsor, Represen-
tative Broyhill, Republican Of
Virginia, explained that current
law requires the Army. Navy
and Air Force Secretaries to
propose such memorials. His
bill would simplify procedures
by calling for a single recon-
mendations from the Defense
Secretary to Congress.
The ampitheater is the site
of the graves of the unknown
soldiers who fell in service OF
the United States in major
wars.

1t was more like a wedding
than a retirement party.
That was because every
one loves the Lawtons" said
one guest at the reception
last night honoring 1t. Gen.
and Mrs. William S. Lawton
following his retirement as
Comptroller of the Army.
Army Chief of Staff and
Mrs, Lyman L. Lemnitzer
gave the party in Quarters
One at Fort Myer following
the retirement ceremonies on
the posts parade ground.
And indeed the party had
a festive air. Four of the
Lawtons' five children, two
of them young Army officers,
were at the party. as we'll as
relatives from out Of town,
the myriads of friends the
Lawtons have made in 81
years of Army life, and top
officials of the Defense De-
partment and its Army
branch.
Not even the threat of rain
marred the retirement cere-
monies which one guest said
so impressed him he did not
even notice the overcast
skies. Not so the ladies who
clutched their hats in the
high winds which whipped
the flags behind the grand
stand and kept a ready hand
on raincoats and umbrellas,
Presidential Citation
Highlight Of the cere-
monies was the bestowal on
Gen. Lawton of the Distin-
guished Service Medal with
Second Oak Leaf Cluster with
a presidential citation laud-
ing him for "meritorious
service in positions of great
responsibility"
Secretary of the Army Will
Der M. Brucker, co-host for
the ceremony with Gen.
Lemnitzer, hailed Gen. Law
ton for the performance of a
variety of important duties
in his Army career. most
notably his service in the last
six years as director of the
Army budget and more re-
Gently as comptroller. In the
latter position, Secretary
Brucker said. Gen. Lawton
has been "in a spot where
billions of dollars are at
stake. And the) has come

Later at the party, a guest

American Accent
The Charge d'Affaires, who

and with an American ac-

After being graduated from

This is his wife's first

laugh, since I've been here

With three of the summers
dangerous polio months over
and one peak month to go. the
Greater Washington Area has
reported no cases for the first
time in history.
Health officers in the District
and in nearby Maryland and
Virginia, however, are knocking
on wood. Although immuniza-
ton is easily available. many
thousands are still unprotected,
And DR.. Carl E. Dauer, medical
adviser to the United States
Public Health Services Ma
tional Office of Vital Statistics,
warns:
"An epidemic can still break
out in the Washington area" "
There are. he said, too many
unvaccinated people here and
elsewhere in the country to
hope that the disease can be
wiped out soon.
This year, except for the
Washington area. is following
the pattern of 1857. To date,
958 paralytic polio cases have
been reported all over the coun-
try, only slightly fewer than
for the same period in 1857.
Last year the figure by the end
of August was 2,527.

on drug Identification, accom-
panied the marshals.
Found in Bottles
DR.. Tillson said today that the
seized tablets were found in
bottles bearing labels similar to
that produced by Merck Sharp
& Dohme, the company which
makes Diuril and Hydrodiuril.
DR.. Tillson said the tablets
had a monogram similar to
that made by Merck Sharp &
Dohme, but that under the
microscope, the monogram and
the groove dividing the tablets
showed different marks than
the Merck product.
DR.. Tillson also said that lab
oratory analysis showed that
the seized tablets were manu-
factured with different "fillers''
from the Merck Sharp &
Dohme variety. Laboratory
tests revealed that the active
ingredients in both tablets were
similar. he said, but qualitative
tests have not been made yet
to determine the potency OF
the seized tablets.
Bought From JObber
Leonard Rodman, the owner
of the drug store, said today
that he purchased the tablets
from a reputable jobber.
An FDA spokesman said that
the seizure was made as part
of a continuing investigation
that the FDA is conducting of
companies which manufacture
drugs to sold under the label
of other manufacturers.
In many cases. the spokes-
man added, these companies
produce the drug without secur-
ing a required license. Com
panies must apply for new drug
licenses whenever they want to
produce a new drug, the spokes-
man said. Only in this way, he
said, can a drugs safety and
potency be insured.
A hearing on the matter will
be held in District Court on
September 81. At that time,
any interested party can argue
against the Governments Libel.
If the Government is sustained,
the seized drugs will be de-
stroyed.
