THORN McBRIDE
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: There seems to be
some confusion about the true
meaning Of the word peasant"
A friend of ours insists that
a peasant is not just a farmer
but anyone who does mental
work or is a laborer. In other
words, anyone who does plas-
tering, is a construction worker,
or works in a brewery would
be considered a peasant"
Kindly advise through your COL
umn.-Catherine Hacker, Mil
waukee, Wis.
Answer: Your friend is, lin
guistically speaking, on the
wrong track. A peasant - a
term seldom heard in this
country, by the way-is a man
of the soil. His name came into
English at the time of the Nor.
man conquest in the form oil
the French word "paisent'
which is directly derived from
pays" the French word fol-
country. Further back, it car

way, also gave us the word
pagan" In the early days of
the Christian Church, the true
believers regarded themselves
literally as soldiers of Christ
and they used the term
"paganus'-peasant-to desig-
nate a Civilian" one who was
not a member Of Christ's army
Thus the word pagan" came
to mean a non-believer.

plans to offer two amendments

The Senator believes the

The representatives Of the

Generally, they have applauded

notifications.
Impossible" List
They have said, for example,
that it is impossible" to list
all the side effects and sugges-
tons on what kind of condi-
tons make a drug unsafe in
every advertisement, as the
House bill would require. DR..
George r. Cain, president of
Abbott Laboratories, said the
physician is informed of these
adverse effects in many other
ways, including pamphlets
which the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration reviews.
Detailed information on side
effects, he said. can not be put
into the reminder" ads-sueh
as one showing a pretty girl
asleep plus the name Of the
sleeping pill. If the provision
is left in the bill. he said, it
would Just abolish this type of
advertising and might bank

pendent medical journals
through which physicians COM
municate.
John T. Conner. president of
Merck & Co.. Inc. asked that
instead Of extending batch-by-
batch Government testing of
five antibiotics to all antibi-
otics. the Government should
drop this testing on the original
five. He said the manufacture
of antibiotics has radically
improved since the days when
the Government enacted batch
testing as a temporary measure
in World War II.
DR.. Theodore G. Klumpp,
president of Winthrop Labora-
tories and formerly a profess
sor at George Washington

Woman Appears
Victor in Fight
To Move Barge

A Fairfax County woman to-
day apparently won an up
stream battle with bureaucracy
over a sunken barge.
The boat lies at the bottom
of Occoquan Greek on property
owned by Mrs. H. F. Jennings,
who wants it removed.
No one was really sure how
it got there. One theory was
that the barge, once used by
the District prison system, was
sunk there in the early 1905
by the Army Corps of Engi-
neers in an effort to control
the water flow.
After getting nowhere with
officials in the District Depart
ment of Corrections and the
Corps of Engineers, Mrs. Jen-
nings turned her guns on the
District Commissioners earlier
this year. The Commissioners
sent the matter to their legal
advisers. who reported back
today.
Mrs. Jennings has no grounds
for complaint against the Dis
trict because she bought her
property after the barge had
been sunk, they said. But the
sunken boat might some day
result in an injury that could
involve the District in litigation
Therefore, advised Corpora
ton Counsel Chester H. Gray
the Commissioners should play
safe and have the boat removed
by the Department of Correc-
tons. Convict labor, he noted
for the economy minded, i,

The Senate will have to move
at top speed for the next few
weeks if Congress is to ad-
Ijourn by September IS.
Some observers are begin
ming to doubt that the remain
ling schedule of bills can be
completed by that date.
Democratic leaders went to
the White House for their
weekly breakfast chat with
President Kennedy this morn
ing, and the Senate Democratic
Policy Committee was to meet
this afternoon to take another
look at the program.
They may decide at that
time whether an attic m p t
should be made to pass the
Presidents tax revision bill
next week, while the Senate
Finance Committee is bringing
out a report on the tariff-cut-
ting trade expansion bill.

Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat of Minnesota. said today
he will ask the Senate to limit
debate and speed passage of
the complex and controversial
farm bill.
Senator Humphrey, acting as
majority leader, said Repub-
lican Senator's indicated a will
ingness to cut talk short but
the formal request, requiring
unanimous consent, would be
delayed until later today.
At the same time. Senator
Humphrey claimed enough
votes to retain a mandatory
wheat control provision and
eliminate present permanent
price supports for corn and
other livestock feed grains.
Senator Ellender, Democrat
of Louisiana, floor manager for
the farm bill. has agreed to
continue for another year the
stop-gap feed grain program
sponsored by the administra-
ton last year as an emergency
operation.
But attched to this is a repeal
of the basic price supports for
corn and other feed grains
enacted in 1858. which Sen
ators Ellender and Humphrey
contend assure price supports
on unlimited grain production.
Extension Of the feed grain
stop gap gram would
amount to postponing decisions
on major segmentS of a perma-
nent farm program until after

tons of the House drug bill.
The Proprietary Drug Asso-
citation told the House Com

James F. Hoge. counsel for

Mr.. Hoge said the associa-

up-to-date. But he added that
there are certain parts Of the
proposal that force the asso-

He said the bill proposes
amendments to the present

In their present form they
would change the character of

ThuIidomide
Suspected in
Boby's Death
By the Associated Press

The Food and Drug Admin
istration thinks it may have
turned up a case in which the
death of a baby may have been
linked to the testing of thalido-
mide in this country, Deputy
Commissioner John L. Harvey
said yesterday.
Mr.. Harvey declined to iden-
tify the mother or the area of
the country in which she lives.
He told a reporter that FDA
investigators so far have been
unable to contact the physician
involved in the case, appar-
emily because he is on vaca-
ton. and it is felt that no
details should be disclosed until
he is interviewed.
The deputy commissioner said
the woman was presumably one
Of the at least 207 pregnant
women known to have been
supplied the drug after its dis
tribution in this country for
testing. Most Of these women
have been reported to have had
normal babies.
Mr.. Harvey said the woman
was not certain that she had
taken thalidomide but added:
I'VE have strong reason to be-
lieve she had been supplied the
drug"
In Cincinnati, Frank N. Get
man, president Of the william
S.. Merrell Co., which tested
thalidomide in the United
States, said the firm was deeply
concerned about the case.
I'VE originally reported it to
the FDA and have been investi-
eating it," Mr.. Getman said.
1--WE will continue to cooperate
with Federal authorities in an
effort to determine what part
thalidomide may have played
in the birth malformation of
this unfortunate infant"

House Drug Bill Called
Government LICENSING

THE cumulative formula Is
a trade asset" he said, adding
that disclosure Of the formula
would destroy the property
right Of the owner and open
the door to counterfeiting and
drug substitution" thus remov-
ing built-in public protection. "
He also criticized provisions
granting the Food and Drug
Administration power to deSig-
nate established names for
drugs.
He said this would under
mine the drug trademark and
would hamper the consumers
freedom of choice among vari-
Gus manufactured products.
Yesterday the Pharmaceuti-
cal Manufacturers Association
Endorsed the basic concept" of
the House drug control bill, but
proposed some changes.
These exceptions to the asso-
cations general Endorsement
have included an attack on the
bills advertising provision as a
practical impossibility," a
warning that some parts of the
bill give Government "arbi-
trary' powers not in keeping
with democratic methods and
challenge of the bills require
ment for individual checks on
each batch of antibiotics.
Some of the notifications
suggested by the prescription
drug industry were incorporated
in the Senate drug bill as ap-
proved yesterday by the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
Powers Added
The Senate bill is that of
Senator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee. 1t was stripped of
some provisions but, in the
Judiciary Committee, has had
many powers added.
Senator Kefauver said he
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-08-21

yesterday the proposed amend
ment will be called up under
a procedure requiring a favor

House members present.
The bill has been lodged In
the House Rules Committee
since the Senate passed it
March 81.
The two-thirds vote require
ment would ruin the chances

tional amendments require a

In addition to the farm bill,
leaders hope to pass this week
the new drug safety regulations

Senator Kerr said the key to
the tax bill situation is how
long it takes to pass the farm

Highly Controversial
The Finance Committee will
not begin voting on changes in
the tariff provisions of the

there were reports that pres
sure is increasing for amend
ments from groups that think
they will be hurt by increased

The tax bill is highly con-
