Hoffu::
Busy Week

James r. HOffa last week was
challenged to a war with the
AFL-CIO, indicted for fraud and
investigated for his alliances
with left-wing unions.
When 1t comes to trouble, James
r. Hoffa is the champion of all
labor leaders. He thrives on trou-
BILE, growing cocker and seemingly
stronger as he meets each new
attack.
Even by his standards, last week
was rough.
After wearing out congressional
investigators, beating a series of
criminal charges and crushing a
court-appointed board of moni-
tors, Mr.. Hoffa last summer was
riding high. He won election to a
five-year term as president of the
Transfers Union and announced
big expansion plans.
Then dissidents in Cincinnati,
Chicago and other cities voted to
pull out of the 1.5-million-member
union. While not a full-scale re-
bellion, the movement cracked the
facade and gave hope to Mr..
Hoffa's enemies.
The AFL-CIO expelled the
Teamsters on corruption charges
In 1857, but has ducked direct
combat with the powerful outcasts.
George Meany, president of the
labor federation, finally got fed up
with Mr.. Hoffa's big talk last sum.

On Politics

The Supreme Court heard on
Monday a plea that it should
join in the controversy over
State Legislatures .reapportion-
ment to close the gap between
rural and urban representa-

OF any kind-to three. After the
three years, the exclusive patent
holder would be compelled to IL
cense other qualified manufac-
turers to produce and sell the
drug, but would be entitled to COL
lect royalties for IA years.
He expects opposition from pat
emit lawyers who fear this would
be an opening wedge against all
patents.

running to more than 10000
pages.
Republicans Critical
The proceedings brought hot
disputes between industry spokes-
men and Senator Kefauver and
some Of the subcommittee staff
and also some bitter rows between
the Democratic majority Of the
Subcommittee and the Republican
minority.
When a report on the hearings
was filed last June by the Dem
ocratic majority = picturing the
big drug manufacturers as max
ing extraordinary profits through
alleged control of patents on pre-
scription medicine the Pharma-
ceutical Manufacturers Associa-
ton labelled it an unjustified at
tack on the drug industry.
In addition, two Republican
members Of the subcommittee
Senators Dirksen Of Illinois and
HruSka filled a dissenting report,
They charged that the Democrats
report was a 500-page monstrosi-
ty containing findings that were
prejudiced and unfair.
Controversy ragged anew early
in July when hearings on the
Kefauver Celler measure were
opened.
The American Medical Associa-
ton opposed some key features of
the bill-notably, the one under
which the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration, before approving
drugs, would investigate whether
they actually worked. At present,
the FDA checks only to see If
they are safe.
Senator Kefauver suggested
that the AMA's evaluation of
drugs is colored by revenues from
advertising of drug manufactur-
erS in ANA publications.
DR.. Leonard w. Larson, ANA
president, termed Senator Kefauv-
er's statements an unwarranted
slur on the ANA and urged that
the Senator retract his implied
charge. He has refused.
Stond of the Doctors
During the July hearings, the
stand of the ANA on the drug
bill was that the medical profess
sion, working with the drug man
ufacturers, could clean up any
unsavory conditions in the drug
business and should judge for
itself whether a new drug has
merit.
But several individual doctors
retorted in testimony that any
hope of a cleanup without tough
Government policing is dim.
Proponents of the Kefauver bill
were heartened by testimony CIV

clashed with Kefauver on most
phases Of the bill, told a report

proposal would reduce exclusive

Rival Unions

At last weeks meeting Of the
AFL-CIO executive council, the
Meaf1y forces overwhelmingly de-
feated motion to end the Team
sters' exile. Mr.. Meany was not
prepared to go all the way in the
opposite direction by establishing
a rival national union to challenge
the Transfers, so the council au-
thorized him to charter federal
locals TO welcome defectors from
the Hoffa union.
He said dissidents in about 100
OF the Transfers 800-plus locals
had applied for charters as federal
locals, affiliated directly with the
AFL-CIO. Screening will determine
which of these locals will get
charters, he said.

he would seek increased taxes to

This was designed to keep down
fears that continued deficit SPEND

Asked on Wednesday about the
present status Of the balanced

ability to achieve 1t. If the mill

The large cars are getting
smaller and the small cars are
getting larger. Ford alone has

labeled Ford, and more will be
coming before the model year is
over. When you say Chevrolet"
you can mean any one Of four

Only American Motors has
dared buck the variety trend.
The model offerings were cut 80

cut from one to two.

BY FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Staff Writer


A new round of a prolonged
battle royal--perhaps the bitter
est yet-is coming UP on wheth-
er drug prices and profits are
too high.
Starting tomorrow, the Senate
Antitrust and Monopoly Sub
committee will open a fresh chap
ter Of hearings on a holly con-
troverSial bill to place the drug
manufacturing industry under
tighter Federal police control.
The measure, introduced by
Senator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee, and Representative
Celler, Democrat of New York.
is an outgrowth of nearly two
years Of stormy and widely pub
licized investigations by the sub
committee.
The bill calls for changes in
the Sherman Anti Trust Act, the
Patent Code, and the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
BackerS say the intent is ito
lower drug prices to consumers
and to improve the protection af-
forded under present law"
Kefauver, chairman of the sub
committee, said in introducing
the bill:
1.-THE need for action stems bas-
ically from the fact that, by any
test and under any standard,
prices and profits in the ethical
prescription drug industry are
excessive and unreasonable
Senator Kefauver's announced
goals are:
GooIs Of the Inquiry
/. To slap down allegedly mo-
nopolistic practices by big COM
panies which he contends have
grossly inflated prescription drug
prices.
2. Force more competition
among drug makers and enable
small manufacturers to compete
on more equal terms with the
large ones.
8. Make sure the medicines are
safe and efficacious and that doc
tors are told the whole story of
the good and bad points of a
given drug.
He also says the bill would
provide the means and incentive
for doctors to prescribe by gen.
eric or official names rather
than trade names-a thus en-
able consumers to shop around
for the best buy.
The drug industry contends
that existing law is good enough
If Congress will only vote enough
money to let the Food and Drug
Administration do the policing
and inspection job needed.
The hearing opening tomorrow
is expected to produce major fire
works for these reasons:
1. They win be concerned at
the outset with the patent law
aspects Of the bill. Both sides
expect that such organizations as

Secretary Of Treasury Dillon, in
quiring If this was, indeed, the
case.
The reply, from Undersecretary
Henry H. Fowler, said, ut is the
policy of the Treasury Depart
ment to leave to the individual
discretion Of its officials" the de-
cision on whether and when to
monitor telephone calls.
Wider Inquiry Started
This was enough to provoke a
wider inquiry by the California
Congressman. The answers he re-
ceived showed that only four of
the 81 agencies he reached per-
mitted no telephone monitoring.
They were the Post Office Depart
ment, the Railroad Retirement
Board, the Selective Service Sys-
tenn and the Tariff Commission.
Most of the others, however,
said they permitted only occa-
sional listening-in - chiefly by
secretaries to note appointment
times or reference material that
might be needed from the files.
The subcommittee report noted
that most Of the agencies defend
this practice "as an aid to eff
ciency," but went on to argue
that when monitoring is done
secretly and becomes eavesdrop-
ping :. the bureaucracy Is sac
rificing principle on the altar of
efficiency. No matter what the
excuse, there is something mean
and unprincipled in a Govern

secretary or a TRANSFERRING ma

calls"
