FDA Warns of ThoIidomide
Still in Medicine Cabinets

The thalidomide tablets dis
tributed in the United States
came in a variety of sizes and
colors. Generally they were
given out by doctor-in -investiga-
tors in envelopes and contain
ers bearing only directions for
use and not the name of the
drug.
Thus, FDA Commissioner
George P. Larrick urged a
thorough check of all medicine
cabinets. If a family finds
medicines left over from a pre-
viouS illness or finds any un-
identified durgs, the Commits
sioner said, "the safe thing is
to dispose of them by flushing
them down the toilet"
He said the widespread dis
tribution to patients is indi-
Gated in a report that a doctor
in Omaha. Nebr., retrieved $50
tablets from just four patients
who had received the drug as
far back as 1859.
| Mr.. Larrick said FDA is now
following the pregnancy of a
woman due to deliver by
October because her father
gave her tablets he had re-
ceived from a doctor in Kansas
City, Mo.
Six Donate Supplies
Six other doctors donated
supplies of thalidomide to re-
ligious groups for charitable
distribution overseas. FDA said
the doctors cannot trace the
present location of the drugs.
| Altogether, 2,528,412 thalid-
omide tablets were distributed
to doctors for investigationaI
use, according to records fur
niShed by the firm manufac-
turing the drug. Lesser guam
titles of liquids and powders
containing the drug also were
distributed.
The drug was never approved
for sale in the United States,
but present law permits drug
manufacturers to distribute test
drugs to physicians for investi-
gational use.
Most of the 1857 doctors
listed as receiving thalidomide
said they received the manu-
facturer'S March order to stop
using the drug, but IS phySi-
clans said they were not warned
of side effects and AZ said they
did not get any message from
the manufacturer.
The notice to discontinue use
was sent in a letter and fol-
lowed up by phone calls and
visits from detail men Begin

learned Of the results. Even
then, he learned only by ac-
cident.
And it was not until still later
that the full findings of the
tests in the Concord subdivision
of Potomac, Md, became known
to all the families who had been
unaware Of what they had been
drinking.
The tests had disclosed that
Of 26 wells examined, six were
befouled with human or animal
wastes and that all but one

these instances tests were made.
county authorities admit that
generally they have been paying
no attention to State regula-
tons which require that water
be analyzed a minium of two
times before any well is de-
clared safe.
Possibly Others
Asked if their failure to do so
does not mean that many of
the 10000 other Montgomery
families dependent upon wells
unknowingly could be using
contaminated water, Health
Director William J. Peoples re-
piled:
There is a possibility, sure.
This one Of the calculated risks
they run when they move out
here with septic tanks and
wells"
Asked why the county does
not make the inspections State
law demands. DR.. Peoples ex-
planned:
"It's also the law that you're
not supposed to speed on the
highway. But people do it every
day, don't they?"
The Potomac story began on
June 26 when John H. Mullaney
of 96l6 Pinkney court drove to
the county office building in
Rockville. I
Having heard nothing from
the county regarding the May !
2 tests on his property, he had |
assumed they showed that his |
water was all right.
1t was true that he had been !
suffering from gastritis and
that at times his water did |
taste odd.
But when he moved into his |
new $4,000 home last year, he |
had been told the water at |
times might taste peculiar be-
cause it was rich in minerals.
I'm fact, I thought the min
erals would be good for U.s."
says Mr.. Mullaney, the father
Of five children.
"AS I don't take vitamins, I
made up my mind to try to
drink an extra pint of water
a day to get the minerals"
Sought out Records
But Mr.. Mullaney had been
having difficulty with the septic
system and in quest of informa-
tion about its installation, he
went to Rockville and requested
to see ali county records per-
tanning to his house.
Thumbing through them, he
spotted the results of the well

fore.

FDA said many of the 41C

because of the length of time
that had passed since they dis

ing to the physicians, when
there is no known adverse ef-
feet from the drug.
The Food and Drug Admin
istration has reported three
cases of abnormalities in the
offspring of patients who took
thalidomide distributed in the
United States. In one case the
doctor gave the drug only in
the last three months of preg-
nancy and has concluded that
the drug was not responsible
for the malformation.
Child Is StiIlbOrn
In another case, the child
was stillborn and the doctor
has refused to disclose the name
of the mother. FDA said it is
not yet sure if thalidomide was
responsible. In the third case,
still under investigation, a de-
formed child died in her 18th
month.
Twenty-one of the women
who got the drug have not YET
delivered. Three of them are
reported to have received the
drug in early pregnancy, wher
it may malform unborn infants
FDA said 247 of the physi.
clans said they had not signed
statements on their qualifica-
tions as investigators before
receiving thalidomide. FDA
regulations require that the
manufacturer obtain these
statements.
Only 276 doctors had provided
written reports to the manu-
facturer of their investigation
of the drug.

Although since October %
the Nations attention has beer
on the Cuban crisis, the fact
is that OUR basic economic prob.
lems-a sluggish rate of growth
and a stickily high rate of un-
employment are still with
us. Cuba" hardly is an answer
to these long-term challenges
1t simply has pushed them into
the background temporarily.
For instance, if you were
asked to name the prime force

tories in the United States to-

say modern machinery, auto

rate. I would have given this
answer.
But we would be wrong, &C

If you were asked who had

worker almost surely you
would reply "the blue shirt
man. The white-collar worker
always has had far more Job

this.
Again we would be wrong,
according to this survey. Most
blue-shirt workers whose jobs
are erased are transferred to
another job in the same COM
pany, but two out of three dis
placed white-collar jobholders
are thrown out of work alto
gether.
These are just two of the
surprising findings of this study

What do trash disposal eX-

they're Socializing and one of
them is a charming woman
from Ohio?
The answer was provided a
few days ago when Shayne

unexpected host to Mrs. Flea

Mrs. Brown is president of

in Toledo to support her family

II.
Specifically, the attractive
visitor wanted a look at a new
Shayne invention that promises
faster, cheaper and neater dis
poSal of reuse.
Basic Price $3.50
The product is called the E-Z
Pack front end loader. It's basic
price is $3.50 and it enables
one man to hustle away-in
just one trip-trash $500 fam
lilies might produce in one day.
Mrs. Brown liked the ma
chine so well that she plans
to put one in service soon.
If the visitor sounds rather
unlikely for This business, the
Shayne family runs a close Sec
ond. In an industry not noted
for much change since Roman
times, they have been innovat-
ing with the verve of a space
age company. Among their
claims:
The first company to furnish
standardized metal containers
as part Of its service to COM
mercial customers;
The first in the area to in
stall two-way radios in its
trucks;
The first to employ a full
time safety director;
Perhaps the only trash COL
lection agency in the world to
hire a consulting psychologist |
to study its executives and their
goals.
The latter study has been
completed (among his findings
the psychologist spotted a
problem employee no longer
with the firm. but Albert
Shayne, president, found the
experience so valuable he calls
back the consultant on other
questions from time to time.
New Corporation Formed
The new loading device is the
latest innovation, and Messrs.

Philip, vice president, and Will,
treasurer are so enthusiastic
about it that they're setting up
a new corporation this week
called Dumpmor Systems, Inc,

The front-end loader was in

sulting engineer who came up
with three different versions
during the last two years before

Basically, the rig acts like a
pair of giant hands in front of
a trash truck. 1t lifts closed
metal containers over the cab
