RESEARCH JOBS IN
DRUG INDUSTRY UP

WASHINGTON - The fra-
creased demand for scientific
and technical manpower which
has characterized American in
dustry in electronics, rocketry
and related fields for several
wears has also been experienced
in the prescription drug In
dustry.
A recent report, Research
Manpower in the Pharmaceu-
teal Industry" distributed by
a government agency. the Ma
tional Institutes Of Health, re-
veals that drug industry per-
sonnel engaged in research in
creased in number from II, 400
in 1859 TO 1880 in 1851, ap-
proximately 20 per cent gain
for the two-year period.
More than half of the per-
sonnel assigned to research In
the industry hold college de-
grees, approximately p percent
of the total being at the doc
torate level. However, the in
creased demand for Ph.D.'s and
M.D.'s has brought with it an
even greater demand for lab
oratory technicians and other
supporting staff. These latter
jobs making up 46 per cent Of
the total, frequently do not re-
quire college training.
AS might be expected. med.
ical science and the life sci-
ences, from biochemistry to 20
ology, are the specialties of the
majority of drug industry sci
entists. But the industry also
employs chemists, physicists,
mathematicians and even psy-
biologists.
Research expenditures per
scientist have also risen stead
lily over the past three years
from $4,000 in 1859 to $50, 900
in 1861. The increase reflects
the need for more supporting
staff per scientist, the in
creased complexity of research
and the use of costlier equip
ment as well as higher salaries.
Total research expenditures
for the prescription drug indus
try reached an all-time high OF
Sz45 mllllon dollars in 1851, the
last year TOR which figures are
available. The Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers Association has
esuImated that 1862 expendi-
lures will reach $268 million
and that the number Of scien-
lists employed will be In,
creased by an additional 8 per
cent.

venient corner. However, they
know how to jump while the
car is in motion. Should Ameri-
cans and foreigners try this
agile trick, they are apt to wind
up with a sprained ankle or a
few bruises. Trolley hopping,
SABENA Airlines says, is a
great show to watch.
Alas, fer the trolley bluffs,
the trans have disappeared
from such capitals as London
and Paris, where 'so-called"
modern buses and subways have
taken their place. In Rome,
there are still many trolley
buses. which are a unique com-
bination of both buses and troll
leys. But Rome's trolleys lack
the plush, old worldliness of
those in Vienna, Zurich and
Brussels. They have become too
modern, too crowded. and don't
have the same tramway atmos-
phere that can only be found
in a trolley, which in this coun-
try, and many other parts OF
Europe the trolley buff recog-
nizes as soon as he pays his
fare and the bell clangs!

Marital Status
And peufh Rates

The statistical correlation be-
tween marital status and death
rates from most diseases. in
cluding lung cancer and heart
disease, shows the "falIacy" of
relying on such correlations to
determine the significance of
environmental factors in the
causation of disease. writes DR..
Joseph Berkson. chief medical
statistician of the Mayo Clinic.
DR.. Berkson noted that an
nual death rates from all
causes are highest among di-
vorced persons and lowest a.
mong married persons, regard
less of sex. The same holds true
for lung cancer and heart dis
ease, he said. Death rates for
these diseases increase in this
order: married, single and di-
vorced.
Examination shows that all,
or almost all, diseases are SIM
ilarly correlated, many Of
which it is virtually incredible
TO relate to environmental fac
tors" he said.
IF we take the hint from
these findings that the observed
differences of death rates may
be determined constitutionally
rather tina n Fundamentally,
the possible implication for the
fallaciousness of environment
tally oriented theories is Of rev.
olutionary import, while the
suggestion that constitution
can have such exquisitely diff
Terminating effects is itself
challenging" said DR.. Berkson.
Then if we wonder whether
the whole may not be due to
systematic errors in the sta
tistics, we find support for this

cit is easy to fall into the
practice of selecting particular
diseases, associated with par
ticular factors that appear
plausible, while ignoring SINH

clan added. z

Private Health Plans Hit
On Means Test Score

Recently proposed private e
medical care plans for the aged
would subject patients to the
indignity of proving their fl
nancial need, Senator Ander-
son, Democrat Of New Mexico,
charged today.
He insisted that Congress
should-and could-pass legis-
lation supported by President
Kennedy to guarantee the eld-
erly health care "as a matter
of right" An Anderson bill
would permit people covered by
Social Security and railroad
retirement to take deductions
from their paychecks, matched
by equal contributions from
employers, to pay for health
care after they have passed the
age of IS.
Counterpro posals of the
American Medical Association
and the National Association
of Blue Shield Plans were tar
gets of Senator Anderson in a
speech before the AFL-CIO
Economic and Legislative Con-
ference at the Shoreham Hotel.
His major objection to the
private measure was that po-
tential patients would have to
take a means test" To prove
single individuals nave incomes
of less than $4,000 a year and
married persons less than
$4,000, Senator Anderson said,
would force them to produce
their most intimate papers,"

is to say to a worker who has
contributed a life time of serv-
ice to a firm or a trade that,
once he reaches 65 his business
is no longer private and must
be subject to constant, exhaus-
tive and revived scrutiny every
time a visit to the hospital ap-
pears necessary" Senator An
derson said.
He advised labor leaders to
work hard for passage of the
Anderson bill despite opposi-
ton of doctors. Tell your
friends in Congress that sup
porting health care for the
aged is not politically danger
ous," he added. The Senator
gave credence to the reports
that the health care measure
may be tackled on to rome
House-passed revenue bill in
order to win a Senate vote.
II believe we have the votes
tc pass the bill in the Senate,
and I'm not afraid to try" he
said. IF the measure Goes not
come up in the usually orderly
fashion, surely some opportu-
nifty will arise to give Senators
a chance to vote on this issue
this year."
The bill apparently is stalled
in committee in the Senate.

Tax Incentive
Plan Advances
BY the Associated Press

The House Ways and Means
Committee appears ready to
go at least as far as President
Kennedy wishes in giving busi-
ness a tax incentive to mod
ernize.
Now the committee is look
ing for offsetting revenues by
Tightening existing tax laws.
Expense account deductions and
other business spending charged
OF against taxes were the first
target as the committee re-
sumed work today.
Indications were the commit
tee would tougher the stand
ards on entertainment, busi-
ness gifts and other sue h
expenses, but not go as far as
Mr.. Kennedy recommended. He
asked for dollar and cents CELL
ings on meals and hotel bills.
The committee at q closed
door meeting yesterday ordered
final drafting of an incentive
provision that might cut rev.
enues as much as $1.8 million.
When the tax-writing group
takes such action, it usually
means substantial agreement
already has been reached.
The draft provision would al
low an 8 per cent charge-off
against taxes of most business
investment in new productive
equipment. Equipment with less
than eight years useful life, like
trucks, would be treated on q
sliding scale. On-third of the
investment would be eligible for
the 8 per cent charge-off if the
useful life were four to six
years, two-thirds If the life
were six to eight.
Utilities would be allowed a
4 per cent credit on their mod
erniZation investment.
Mr.. Kennedy's original pro-
posal, involving a different for
mula for crediting the invest
ment and making no provision
for utilities and short lived
equipment, was estimated to
cost SIT billion.

Kennedy Wins Praise
Of Protestant Journal

CHICAGO, Jan. % (AP).-
President Kennedy's record on
the issue Of separation Of
church and state was hailed
today by one of the Nations
leading Protestant publications.
The praise was voiced in an
editorial Of the Christian Cen
tury, an interdenominational
Protestant weekly magazine
widely circulated among clergy
men. Said the editorial:
In his first year as Presi-
dent. John F. Kennedy has
compiled a better record on the
issue of separation of church
and state than any other
President we have had in the
past 80 years."
Called Bigger Man
The magazine also asserted
Our tape measures him not
a smaller but a bigger man
than he was a year ago. We
expect that he will grow even
more in the years ahead"
The Christian Century edi-
torially took to task the Roman
Catholic Magazine America fol
observations on Mr.. Kennedy
published earlier. Said the
Protestant journal:
"In a lead editorial in its
January 13 issue, the (Catholic) }
magazine concludes that the
Presidents public relationship
to his own church has been
entirely negative and that his
approach to ProtestantS has
been politically motivated. a.,

dent Kennedy refused TO bow to
the will Of the Roman Catholic
hierarchy in including parochial
schools in his aid-to-education
bill a year ago.
School Stand Cited
what riles them even more
is the fact that Mr.. Kennedy
in presenting his education
program put his objection to
the use Of public funds for
parochial schools on a solid
constitutional basis. -.
Stranger still is the edi-
torial's inference that it is
quite all right for the Presi-
dent to be a politician in some
instances and in regard to one
segment of the population but
not right for him to be a states
man in resisting the special
interests of another segment.
The Christian Century noted
that President Roosevelt had
maintained a personal repre-
sentative at the Vatican and
that President Truman sought
to appoint an ambassador but
was unsuccessful. Continued
the magazine:
President Eisenhower did
not repeat this mistake, but he
never found or made an oppor-
tunity to throw the influence
of his high office behind sepa-
ration Of church and state
President Kennedy, however,
clearly stated the principle and
his adherence to it in his re-
quest for funds for public
schools"
