First Colony and the group

other court actions which took
the case to October II, 1861.

was described as technical

venue-asking for a hearing

On Drugs Seen
Research Peril

Senators were told today
proposed curbs on the patent
ing of drugs could hurt the
Nations space flight research
program and the development
of medicines for victims of nu-
clear fallout.
Franz o. Ohlson. New York
lawyer speaking for the Aero
space Industries Association.
gave the warning in testimony
prepared for Senate hearings
on a bill by Senator Kefauver.
Democrat of Tennessee. Sem
ator kefauver's bill would i'm
pose restrictions on the patent
ing of prescription medicines,
and tighten Federal policing of
the drug manufacturing in
dustry.
Mr.. Ohlson said the associa-
ton is "unalterably opposed"
to the patent provisions of the
bill on many scores.
"WilI Destroy Incentive"
He said Senator Kefauver's
bill will destroy incentive to
engage in research in the field
of drugs and to that extent re-
tard progress in medical re-
search and consequently in
aerospace research"
| Mr.. Ohlson also expressed
fears that enactment of the
patent provisions might hurt
the development of "fallout
protection through drugs" His
testimony marked a third day
of hearings on the bill by Sem
ator Kefauver's Antitrust and
Monopoly Subcommittee.
Robert B. Semple, president
of the Wyandotte (Mich.D
Chemicals Corp. and chairman
of the Manufacturing Chemists
Associations executive commit
tee, also assailed the bills pat
ent provisions as mot in the

Spokesman for the Pharma-

facturers' final spokesman. DR..

director of Irwin, Neisler g. Co.,
of Decatur. H.. told the sub
committee in a prepared state
ment the proposed patent law
changes would have "devas-
tating effects on small manu-
facturers" of medicines.
Mr.. Semple voiced similar
fears in his prepared testimony,
adding that the bill also would
enable companies known in the
industry as coat tail riders" to
profit from research by COM
petitors without investing any,

that existing regulations in the

recognition and negotiations.
The old rules could cancel out
the new policy, they feared.

Virginia Judge
To Hold Down
Racial Suits

HlSHMOND, va, dec.
(AP) "A Federal Judge told a
Negro attorney yesterday he
is determined to keep down
racial litigation in Virginia.
II think it ought to be set
tied for everybody's benefit"
said District Judge Oren r.
Lewis.
His comments came in a
courtroom discussion with S,
w. Tucker of Emporia about
suits by 80 Negro children seek
ing admission to white schools
in three cmmunities.
The judge gave Mr.. Tucker
80 days to amend the suits,
eliminating general allega-
tions" and make them apply
to individuals.
TN not going to hear them
as class suits unless the Omitted
States 4th Circuit Court (of
Appeals) says l have to-" Judge
Lewis said. I'm only going to
hear individual suits"
He denied motions to dismiss
the suits. The motions had
been filed by school officials
in the three affected commun-
ities-Richmond, West Point
and Stafford County-and the
State Pupil Placement Board.
The Negroes have been de-
MED admission to white schools
in the three areas. They claim
the Pupil Placement Board was
using race only as a basis for
determining their assign
ments.
Mr.. Tucker contended other
school segregation cases, in
cluding the 1854 United States
Supreme Court decision, were
class actions.
If you think the placement
board is set up as a farce or
set up as a plan to perpetuate
segregation. why don't you file
a simple suit saying that?"
Judge Lewis asked Mr.. Tucker
That's what l think we've
DONE" the attorney said.
At an earlier point, Mr.
Tucker said the present suits
were not challenging the con-
stitutionality of the placement
board. If the constitutionality
were questioned in the amended
suit, Judge Lewis said. he would
have to name a three-judge
Federal court. The placement
board controls most school
assignments in Virginia.

UIlmon's Leg Severed
In Freak Auto Mishop

STEPHENS CITY. Va, Dec.
g (AP). Representative
Ullman. Democrat of oregon,
lost part of his left leg as a
result of a freak automobile
accident yesterday.
Doctors at Winchester Me-
mortal Hospital amputated the
leg at the knee after it was
nearly severed in the accident.
Virginia State Trooper j. w.
Detrick said Mr.. Ullman was
driving on Virginia Route 277
when he attempted to close a
car door. The door, which
opens from the front of his
small foreign car, had been
blown open by the wind.
The car swerved into a ditch
and Mr.. Ullman was thrown
out.
His wife, Anita was admitted
to the hospital with a possible
back injury.
Doctors gave five pints of
blood to Mr.. Ullman. He also
suffered severe shock and cuts
on the forehead.

ing the attention of countless
believers to Christ and move
them to come together round
The Great Shepherd of the
Flock" by whom they have been
entrusted to the never-failing
watchfulness of Peter and his
successors.
Unity Efforts Noted
Pope John said that he saw
good reason for hope: in ef-
forts being made toward Chris
tian unity in many quarters.
THE coming together in
friendship of those who are
children of the same Heavenly
Father and co-heirs of the same
glorious kingdom will be the
sign announcing the triumph
of the Mystical Body of Christ"
said the Pope.
This was a thought expressed
also by Protestant leaders who
have had unprecedented meet
ings with Pope John. The most
recent was Bishop Arthur Lich-.
tenberger, head of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church in the
United States.
Following his meeting with
Pope John on November Is,
the American bishop said that
he hoped such talks would lead
to greater Christian under
standing. -
But the road to Christian
unity" he added, lis sure to
be a very long process" -
Emphasizing the recent i'm
provement in this matter, how
ever, Bishop Lichtenberger
said that his meeting with the
Pope probably could not have
taken place as recently even
as five years ago. There now
is a most encouraging atmos-
phere. he said. and clearly
indicated that much of the
credit for it was due to Pope
John.
Bishop Lichtenberger's visit
here was preceded by an even
more unusual one-that of DR..
Godfrey Fisher last December.
He was then Archbishop Of
Canterbury and primate of the
Church of England.
DR.. Fishers unprecedented
visit to Pope John was the first
between a Roman pontiff and
a primate of the Church of
England.

bring nothing but results con-
trary to those sought by the
Council. France is now criti-
cizing the present U. N. action
Britain and the United States
are backing the U. N. action
on the ground that it is a de-
fensive operation intended to
maintain and protect U. N.
communications. The Soviet
Union, on the other hand, con-
tends that the U. N. force should
be used to liquidate the
Tshombe opposition without
further delay.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
says the U. N. is not trying to
conquer Katanga but is simply
trying to create a situation in
which the Congolese themselves
can resolve their differences.
Many interpretations
One conclusion is that there
are almost as many interpreta-
tions of the U. N. goals and di-
receives as there are delegations
on the Security Council. This is
partly due to the fact that
sponsors of resolutions often
use vague language to obtain
the required majority - and
avoid a possible veto.
In the end, the secretary
general must stick his neck out
and decide what to do. Mr.
Hammarskjold got in trouble
with the Russians over his in
terpretations, but the Council
continued to give him a free
hand to do what he thought
the, resolutions authorized.
Now u Thant is on the spot
in following Council directives
as he understands them. He
has interpreted the latest reso-
luton as meaning that the
U. N. forces are automatically
against all secessionist forces
and against all armed activities
opposing the Leopoldville gov
ernment. His Interpretation
was not challenged or ques-
toned when he gave it to the
Council.

Its issuance, expected for sew

the conclusion of the third as

of Churches in Delhi. to which
the Roman Catholic Church
sent five observers.
Pope John is expected to in

council have been underway
almost since Pope John was
elected supreme ruler of the

One Church His Hope
Pope Johns encyclical made
it clear that the Roman Catho-
lie Church still looks upon
Christian unity as the eventual
coming together of all Christ
ians, and also others, into one
church, under the authority of
the Roman Pope. He said:
Just as we, who have sue

See of st. Peter, profess with
him our faith in the divine
origin of the commission
given by Christ to the Apostles
and their successors; for
preaching the gospel to the
whole world, so also do we with
Him long to see all nations en-
tering into the way of truth
and love and peace.

desire of enabling the church
of today to carry out this SUBJ

led us to convoke the Second
Ecumenical Vatican Council
