DENVER, Dec. 29.-Next
springs fallout levels in the
United States probably will not
be greater than the previous
peak in 1959-60, two experts
predicted today.
The reason, they explained,
is that the powerful hydrogen
bombs tested by Russia last
fall were far cleaner" than
bombs tested by both the United
States and the Soviet Union
in 1858. But the fact that the
Russians exploded their bombs
in the Far North rather than
the equatorial mid-Pacific will
send a disproportionate
amount of fallout down over
the populous parts of the world.
Drs. Wright Langham and
Ernest Anderson of the Los
Alamos Scientific Laboratory
in New Mexico gave their an
alysis in an interview here.
DR.. Anderson said an increase
of cesium-137, a major fall
out ingredient, will be noted in
foodstuffs beginning about
April. A corresponding increase

said the Air Force has this kind
of experience. Gen. Ritland is
head of space systems for the
Air Force.
I'VE in the Air Force feel
that a management capability
of this caliber represents a type
of national resource which will
contribute significantly to the
lunar program, he told the
astronomical group.
His luncheon address at a
one-day symposium on the
lunar program stressed the
military's potential role in
space. 1t appeared to mark
another step in the Defense
Departments campaign for 100
per cent equality with the ci-
william space agency in the moon
program. Earlier steps included:
l. Creation of a space-pilot
school at Edwards Air Force
Base, Calf.
2. Upgrading of the Dyna-
Soar rocket-plane program
from sub-orbital to fully orbi-
tai status.
Some observers here inter-
preted Gen. Ritland's speech
as a major Air Force position
paper" on the space roles-and-
missions controversy. 1t bore
down heavily on military as

quite at variance with the 1855

purposes for the benefit of all

DR.. Langham said he would
be willing to guess that a
peak will be reached in the fall
of 1862 which will be compar-
able to the peak of the 1858
tests"
The two SCIENTISTS said there
is no point in trying to select
foods which would contain
little or no fallout. They warned
that to do so might result in
dietary deficiencies riskier than
the danger Of radioactivity-
generated diseases.
Weapons testing through
1858 contributed roughly 2h
times as much fallout as the
1861 Russian tests will con-
tribute, the experts said. The
radioactivity increase in the
United States through 1858
amounted to about 3 to 5 per
cent Of normal background ra-
diation. The 1851 tests will add
a similar amount. they pre-
dicted.

DENVER, Dec. ga noted
pharmacologist has taken the
durg industry to task for ad-
vertising techniques he says are
are intellectually disgusting"
and intellectually insulting"
The sharp rebuke to Madison
venue-oriented drug COM
panies came from DR.. Chauncey
D. Leake of Ohio State Univer-
sity, retiring president of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science. His
peppery observations were de-
livered as the AAAS "presi-
dental addreSs"-normally q
staid. even dry, discourse on
learned topics.
But the white-haired phar-
macologist touched all the bases
in his speech last night. He
blasted the drug induStry'S
economic policies, questioned its
scientific integrity in merchan-
dising and deplored its use of
what he called "clever adver-
tising." He told the industry,
in effect, that it had better
clean house before the Gov
ernment steps in and does the
cleaning for it.
I'VE have altogether too
much bureaucracy as it is, and
if we are to preserve our stand
ards of individual freedom
and responsibility in our social
unity, we must do all we can
to reduce Government control
and regulation" he said.
Hits Trade Name Claims
Although DR.. Leake said he
had been amused" at the
spacious claims Of drug manu-
facturers with regard to the
significance Of trade names for
drugs as a guarantee Of quail
ity," his subsequent remarks
did not sound like those of an
amused man.
Our economic policies in
relation to pharmacology often
are in conflict with scientific
ideals and tradition" he said.
Consider the advertising used
with conventional hypocrisy by
drug manufacturers in promot-
ing the sale Of their special
products:
I'm some cases, as in TV
commercials on aspirin prepa-
rationS, 1t is intellectually dis
gusting; in others, as in pro-
feSsional journals directed to
members Of the health profess
sion, it is intellectually insult
ing. Usually it is not informa-
tive but is Sticky persuasive,
as If physicians were status
seeking housewives"
DR.. Leake urged the use of
public names" instead of trade
names for drugs as one method
OF cleaning ZIP the induStry's
merchandising practices.

Scientists Head Urges
Cleanup Of Drug Ads

At present every drug has
two names, one which describes
it as a chemical and one which
describes it as a product. An
example is the tranquilizing
drug meprobamate, which is
marketed by one drug firm as
Equanil and by another as
Midtown. The name mepro-
bamate is what DR.. Leake re-
ferred to as the drugs public.
name" but which is usually re-
ferred to as a generic name"
"a term DR.. Leake said he does
not like.
Cites Product Confusion
Public names could be used
with the designation of the
company that manufactures
the drug after the public name.
so as to identify the product
as coming from that manufac-
turing company. It would
seem that drug manufacturers
could unite in developing this
principle in the use of public
names for drugs so as to reduce
the appalling confusion now
existing in this matter"
Under DR.. Leake's proposal,
Equanil would be renamed
meprobamate (WyethO and Mil
town would become meproba-
mate (Wallace).
Asked by a reporter whether
he thought the pharmaceutical
industry would find his propo-
sal on the use Of public names
plus company designations ac-
ceptable, DR.. Leake replied:
why should a company be
ashamed of its name?"

were Just launching World War
II, and Mrs. Wilson declared
her belief that this new danger
was a direct result OF the fail
ure of the League of Nations.
Saw Prophecy Fulfilled
Mrs. Wilson once quoted her
husband as having said that
perhaps it was better that the
American people did not join
the League Of Nations just to
follow him, but that they join
from their own conviction that
they could not stay out. She
quoted him as having predicted
that conviction would follow
another world war.
Woodrow Wilson's widow
lived to see that prophecy full
filled when the United Nations
was formed at San Francisco
in 1945, at the close Of World
War II.
Mrs. Wilson was born in
Wytheville, Va. on October Is,
1872. She was one of nine chill
dren of William H. and Sallie
White Boiling Of Bedford
County. The Bolllngs were
descendants of John Rolfe, the
English settler who introduced
tobacco growing into the Vir-
ginia Colony.
Mrs. Wilson attended school
at Abingdon. and later i'll
Richmond. AS a girl she de-
veloped a love of literature
music and art, which later was
to attract President Wilson, an
other native of Virginia.
In 1896, Edith Boiling mar
ried Norman Gait, a Washing
ton jeweler, whose family had
been in business here and in
Alexandria since 1902. Mr.
Gait died in 1908. Seven years
later. at the age Of 43, she mar
ried Mr.. Wilson.

MRS WILSON
Widow Was Known for Devotion to Husbands Ideals

United States was struggling to
avoid being drawn into it.
The engagement was big
news throughout the country,
and especially in Washington.
The resulting publicity brought
from Mrs. Gait this modest
comment:
Il am very happy, but I am
of no Importance. and the less
the newspapers print about me
at this time. the better I shall
appreciate it and so, 1 am sure,
will the President"
Mrs. Gait was active in the
affairs of the Episcopal Church.
Mr.. Wilson was a Presbyterian.
Married at Brides Home
They were married on the
night of December 18, 1915,
at the brides home, 1908
Twentieth street NV. An Epis-
copal minister performed the
ceremony, assisted by a Presby-
terian pastor. Although it at
tracted worldwide attention,
the wedding was a simple fam
lily affair" The house in which
they were married was torn
down in 1860.
The couple spent two weeks
honeymooning at Hot Springs,
Va. before returning to the
White House, where Mrs. VIII
son initiated a conservative So
cial regime. She extended her
charitable interests in view Of
the war in Europe.
When the United States en-
tered the war in April, 1917
Mrs. Wilson plunged whole
heartedly into the campaign
to bring women into the war
effort. At the close of World
War I. Mrs. Wilson accom-
panied her husband to the his
toric Versailles Peace Confer
ence.
Mrs. Wilson also shared
her husbands disappointment
when the Senate rejected the
League of Nations and through
out her life she continued to
defend the principles for which
he fought.

Washingtonian for more than
half a century. Since the death
Of Woodrow Wilson in 1924 she
had lived in their home, de-
voting most of her time to pre-
serving his place in history.
The two women who shared
with her the distinction of hav-
ing married Presidents were
Mrs. Grover Cleveland and the
second wife of President John
Tyler.
President Tyler's first wife
died in the White House in Sep
tember. 1912, and 81 months
later. while still President, he
married Julia Gardiner in New
York.
Grover Cleveland was a bach
elor when elected, and on June
2. 1886, married Frances Fol-
som.
The first Mrs. Wilson died in
1914 and friends Of the Presi-
dent feared for his health
because of the weight of grief
and loneliness. combined with
the cares of office.
Frequent Guest
1t was about this time that
the President met Mrs. Norman
Gait, a handsome and talented
Washington widow. They found
they had much in common and
Mrs. Gait became a frequent
guest at the White House.
During the summer of 1915
Margaret Wilson. one of the
Presidents daughters, invited
Mrs. Gait to be a guest at the
Presidents summer cottage in
New England. When Mrs. Gait
returned to Washington in the
early fall only intimate friends
knew that the announcement
of her engagement TO the
President was pending.
The announcement, on Octo-
ber 7, 1915. brought a flood OF
congratulatory messages from
friends and the heads of other
nations. World War I had al

The cost of administering the
program in the field is negli-
gible. The local people can run
it. The Government already
owns the surplus food under
the farm support program, and
the only cash outlay would be
to transport 1t by ocean freight.

dream of feeding 500 million

the food where 1t is needed
would be 5000 million for trans

In Latin America, Africa and
Asia. which would be the prin-
cipal beneficiaries, there might
be some difficulty in getting
the lunches into the interior,
where the roads are bad. In
areas where there are no
schools, whole families would
be fed.

through the mansion she soon
would occupy.
For several years after leav-
ing the White House in March,
1921. the Wilson's lived in
seclusion at their S street
home. The health of the for
mer President failed steadily,
and he died there on February
3, 1924.
After the Presidents death,
she continued an active life
surrounded by mementoes, in

Mfrs. Wilson carried into her
old age the charm and erect

as one of the most beautiful

life with the President during
the trying years of the first
World War and the bitter post
war years. In the book, she
expressed some resentment to-
ward the congressman who
wrecked President Wilson's pro-
gram for peace through the
League Of Nations. She was
hopeful. however, that the ma
tions eventually would return
to Wilsonian ideals of world
government.
The public appearances of
Mrs. Wilson in recent years
were almost always associated
with events honoring the MEM
ory of the former President.
In 1854, she gave their home
to the National Trust for His
toric Preservation, as a perma- =
nent memorial to her husband
1t remained her home during
her lifetime and was not open
to the public. The trust is a
non profit organization en-
gagged inpreserying historic
sites.
Mrs. Wilson also helped
establish the foundation that
preserves Woodrow Wilson's
birthplace at Staunton, Va.
Avoided Politics
AS a Presidents widow, Mrs.
Wilson avoided an active role
in politics, although she was
an ardent Democrat. During
the 1860 campaign she declined
to go to Staunton when former
President Eisenhower spoke e
there because she felt her pres
ence might be interpreted as
meaning support for the Re-
publican Party.
Mrs. Wilson went to the
White House twice in 1861 for
ceremonial visits. Last October
4 she watched President Ken
nedy sign a bill creating a COM
mission to make plans for a
Wilson Memorial. On Novem-
Der "a, as one of 80 trustees
named by the President, she
