VISTAS IN SCIENCE
What's New in Americas Arsenal
By THOMAS R. HENRY

An explosive foxhole dig
ger, weighing about five
pounds, already has been de-
veloped. One could produce
foxholes for a squad IN a few
minutes. Troops will no long
er need to use shovelS and
bayonetS. Research is under
way to make the apparatus
considerably lighter.
All this is part Of the
Army's present research on
Battlefield obstacles" which
promise to be of very great
Importance in a war Of 1870.
They must be a lot lighter
and easier to construct than
any known today.
A very lightweight anti
personnel obstacle currently
is under development. It's
purpose will be to impede in
fantry attacks and discour-
age any infiltration acts.
Road Blocks Vital
These are just a start in
the current research program
for which the Engineer Corps
is seeking ideas from any
body concerned with the Ma
tons defense. An urgent re-
quirement in the field Of OBJ
stacles and demolition, ac-
cording to a Corps report, is
for means to create road
craters rapidly at minimum
cost. These are effective OBJ
tacles for vehicles. The pres
ent technique uses 40-pound
cans of explosive, loaded IN
holes five to seven feet deep
and about five feet apart.
This requires heavy machin-
cry for drilling the holes.
Tactical doctrine of the
future" says the report, will
not allow the luxury of such
special machinery. Scarce
manpower will be assigned
higher priority missions of
fire. surveillance and move
But obstacles ard road
blocks to protect flanks Of
deep penetrating columns
will be more urgently need
ed than ever. The require
ment is for means to make
effective craters with explo-
sives on the surface"

Acc Investigates
Story Of A-Woste
Found Off JERSEY

POINT PLEASANT BEACH,
N. j., Sept. l3 CAP). The
Atomic Energy Commission is
investigating reports that COM
mercial fishermen have been
snagging barrels containing
radioactive wastes off the Jer-
sey shore.
Acc Inspector John Dietz
questioned several fishermen
yesterday who had reported
catching the large cement bar
rels. He declined to comment
on his findings after the closed
hearing.
Edward L. McKelvey, a crew.
man on the trawler Jenny, said
he told the investigator how
he had pried the steel lid off a
cement barrel which the craft
had netted last spring. He
said the barrel contained
some gooey stuff" He told
Mr.. Dietz the barrel had the
Acc symbol printed on it.
Mr.. McKelvey said he has
felt no i'll effects since the
incident and has not been
examined by a physician.
The barrel was found in 40
fathoms of water about 70
miles southeast of Manasquan
Inlet, he said.
Acc rules require that radio
active waste materials must be
disposed in water at least 1000
fathoms deep and $50 miles
from shore.
Fishermen have reported
hauling up an estimated SO
barrels in relatively shallow
water last winter and spring.
None of the barrels was
brought to shore.

A|giers youths
Mos|ems

ALGIERS, Sept. 13 (AP) -
A procession of European youths
shouldering the coffin of a slain
comrade crashed through police
lines yesterday and attacked a
Moslem neighborhood, leaving
seven dead and nearly a score
wounded.
The violence came after the
youths left a hearse and hoisted
the flower laden coffin of Jean
Botella, %, who was killed Mon
day by five bullets in the back
an attack attributed to Mos
lens.
The procession, heading for
a cemetery a half mile away,
swept aside steel-helmeted Sc
curity police at a barricade.
The police pinched off the
procession, however, and the re-
naming youths milled around,
then surged through the neigh
borhood beating all the Moslems
they could find and smashing
and setting fire to Moslem
shops.
Moslems were knocked from
motorscooterS and yanked out
OF cars and buses. Shots were
heard but police could not de-
termine who fired them. Most
of the death blows were dealt
with clubs and paving stones.
The violence ragged for sew
eral hours before police had
control.
Earlier, at Bone, a battle be-
tween Moslems and Jews left
two Moslems dead and 10 per-
sons wounded.
Near Didjelli, a crew of
workmen was ambushed by
MoslemS who killed two and
wounded nine.
While the battle ragged be-
tween civilians of both sides,
the French military authori-
ties said 10 Moslem rebel
soldiers were killed or captured
during 4S-hour period of
combat ending at noon.
1t was also announced that
terrorist attacks on Monday
claimed 10 lives in Algeria.

RibicoffArgues
For Tightened
DrugLicensing
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Welfare Ribi-
coff, arguing for a tightened
drug licensing law. urged Con-
gresS today ito give American
men, women, and children the
same protection we have been
giving hogs, sheep, and cattle
since 1913"
Mr.. Ribicoff made the state
ment at hearings by the Sen
ate Antitrust Subcommittee on
a bill to require that manufac-
turers prove the effectiveness
of drugs. as well as their safe
ty, before they can be marketed
for medicines.
The plain fact is" Secretary
Ribicoff said, that until we
are allowed to require that a
drug be proven effective be-
fore it is marketed, we must
say to the American people: A
hog is protected against worth
less drugs, but you are not"
1918 Act Explained
The secretary explained that
the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act of
1913 forbids sale of worthless"
biologicalS for the treatment
of domestic animals and pro-
vides for production licenses to
assure compliance at tn e
sources.
mo similar authority exists
with respect to drugs for human
consumption" Mr.. Ribicoff
added. He said that under
present law the Food and Drug
Administration can require
proof only of safety before al
lowing a new drug to be mar
keted.
Even if the FDA has reason
to believe that the new drug
is not effective for the purposes
claimed, it must approve the
new drug application once the
requirements of safety have
been met" Mr.. Ribicoff said.
Then the manufacturer is
at liberty to promote his prod
uct. If claims for effectiveness
are made which the FDA be-
lieves are groundless, a pro-
ceeding must then be brought
to take the drug off the market
as a misbanded product. At
that point the burden of proof
is on the FDA to establish that
the drug is not effective.
Sold Meanwhile
"And throughout the period
of time it takes the FDA to
prepare its case and secure
relief in courts, the manu-
facturer will have foisted his
product upon an unsuspecting
public"
He said the situation should
be reversed-"the manufacturer
should satisfy the FDA that
his product is effective for the
purposes claimed before it is
marketed"
Mr.. Ribicoff indorsed a num-
ber of the provisions in the
proposed legislation to tighten
Federal regulation of the drug
industry, but questioned the
wisdom of a proposal to give
the Secretary of Welfare what
would amount to a veto power
over the issuance of patents
for new drugs.

Merchants Close Shops
In Dominican Protest

CTUDAD TRUJILLO, Domin-
ican Republic, Sept. 13 (AP -
A merchants strike shut down
shops here and in Santiago to-
day in an apparent protest
against violence that left four
dead and more than a score
wounded.
Tenseness hung in the air as
soldiers in battle garb patrolled
the streets of this Dominican
capital. Despite the closing of
almost all downtown shops and
business houses. hundreds of
Notwithstanding scores of
plainclothes police-roamed the
area.
Soldiers in squad strength
moved along the capitals main
street, Gale el Conde. Light
tanks that turned out last night
to restore order were with
drawn.
The violence was spanked by
the arrival of a four-man team
from the Organization of
American States yesterday.
They are investigating the pos
Sibility of lifting some of the
diplomatic and economic sane
tions on the. Dominican regime
that took over after the assas-
sination of GeneraliSsimo
Rafael L. Trujillo last May.
The opposition fears this would
entrench Gen. Trujillo'S heirs
in power.
Some of the OAS ENJOYS
took their first trip into the
downtown area last night and
saw French-made tanks rum
BILE through the streets.
There were conflicting ver-
sionS of what happened near
Duarte Bridge over the Ozama
River around noon yesterday,
when a crowd of about 5000,
mostly from a nearby working
class neighborhood, gathered
to greet the OAS delegates.
Crowd Fired On
Opposition eyewitnesseS said
a car filled with armed forces
and plainclothes police from
the Central Information Agency
formerly the Military Intel
ligence Service-jumped out of
their unmarked car and fired
pistols and automatic rifles
into the crowd.
But Col. Marcos Jorge, chief
of the national police, said an
air force sergeant, Victoriano
Cruz Hernandez, was angered
when the crowd stoned his car,
emptied his revolver into the
demonstrators and then fired
his automatic rifle. Sergt. Cruz
Hernandez was turned over to
civilian authorities for a top
level investigation, Col. Jorge
said.
The OAS caravan was chased
about a mile toward the city
by the crowd. Demonstrators
chanted liberty" and "bru-
tality" and beat on the cars.
Some carried placards deriding
the United States representa-
tive, deLesseps Morrison, for
accepting a medal from Gen.
Trujillo. He has said the State
Department advised him to ac-
cept it.
Two Policemen Wounded
Col. Jorge said two police
men were wounded in the
shooting and six were hospital
lied after being stoned. The
opposition said about Is in the
crowd were wounded by bull
lets.
The dead were identified un-
officially as Rafael Estrella
Liz, an economist; Gregorio
Silvestre, Arturo Gomez and
Manuel Martinez.
Some of the opposition
leaders contend the police have
provoked numerous riots, kill
ing more than a dozen demon
strators in past weeks, and are
trying to weaken the opposition
by branding it as pro-Commu-
mist.
Yesterdays demonstration
was urged by the Revolutionary
and l4th of July Parties. The
Civic Union, the major oppoSi-
ton group, did not take part.

U.S.PIones Garry Kidnapped
East BerIiners, Reds Charge

Communist East Germany's Of
ficial news agency charged to-
day that East Germans are
being kidnapped and taken out
of West Berlin in United States
military planes.
The accusation, promptlv
denied by WeSterners in a
position to know, followed
Communist statements that the
Western powers are misusing
the three air corridors between
West Berlin and the Western
world.
The news agency. ADM as
serted that desperate East
Germans, had thrown them
selves to the ground at Tegel
and Tempelhof airports and
shouted:
Il don't want to be kid
mapped"
There had been several strue-
giles and some people were
"brutally dragged Off into the
planes, it charged.
Disturbance Predicted
The East German report
closely followed a prediction
yesterday by a spokesman for
Mayor Willy Brandt's West Ber-
lin government. He said that
the Communists intended to
plant people among refugees to
make a disturbance of the kind
described.
A spokesman for Pan Ameri-
can Airways, which carries
most Of the traffic in and out
of Berlin, said:
4 can guarantee you that
there have been no such Incl
dents, today or any other day."
The East Germans claim that
many Of the refugees who
streamed into West Berlin be-
fore the Reds threw up a wall
through the divided city were
lured by Western intelligence
agents and spirited away by
air to West Germany.
Refugees Still Wait
Many refugees still are in
West Berlin awaiting air trans
portation out of the city. East
Germany controls road, rail
and canal transport over the
ITO miles of Communist terri
tory between the city and West
Germany. The air corridors are
the city'S last unhindered links
to the West.
Eltmar Arendt Denart,
spokesman for the mayor, said
the Red plans were reported by
members of the East German
military forces who detected
recently.
THE responsible authorities
are prepared to act energetically
against such attempts to make
a disturbance" he said.
Meanwhile, the Communists
were Tightening the barriers to
halt the flow of refugees. The
flow, once in the thousands,
now is measured in a trickle of
tens and twenties. But a few
daring escapes attract wide at
tention, such as those by truck
drivers smashing through what
Berliners now call the Reds
Chinese wall"
Under police supervision,
workmen have begun setting up
concrete road blocks on streets
leading to the wall.
Some Slip Through
Despite the buildup, West
Berlin police reported today
that East Germans continued
slipping through to the West
by using wire cutters on bar
riers, sliding down ropes or
swimming canals.
The swimmers were a family
Of four-a 61-year-old woman,
her son and daughter-in-law |
and their 12-year-old son.
Police reported that Com
munist police opened fire sew
eral times in the past few days
as people escaped but their aim
was poor-perhaps deliberately. /.
Along the wall, the Red po-
lice reacted angrily to curiosity
from the West. West Berliners
who got too near to look for
relatives on the other side or
hurl insults at the Communists
were sprayed with water or
given a dose of tear gas.
