New Bureau

Last week, after long discussions
a change was announced. Instead
of Mr.. Ben Khedda alone ruling
the country through the provi-
sional government, a new political
bureau was also given power. This
seven-man body had five Ben
Bella supporters, and two Ben
Khedda ones. The bureau will
call an election on August 27 for
the national assembly, and after
the election, its membership will
be reexamined to see if it truly
represents the people. Most i'm
portant, civil war was averted.
Ironically, one month later, to
the day, Mr.. Ben Bella, the leader
of the new bureau, arrived in Al
giers. His welcome was nearly as
fanatic as that given Mr.. Ben
Khedda.
And like the first celebration,
there was a missing man. Col.
Boumedienne did not accompany
Mr.. Ben Bella to Algiers. The Ben
Khedda forces said they would
not agree to the bureau if he
came to Algiers. No one knows
what course the military will take
in Algeria, but no one is ruling
out the possibility of a military
coup.

Compromise Seen

AS result of information
gained from recent Project Vela
underground tests, Washington is
about ready to reduce some of
its stringent requirements for such
a treaty. Mr.. Kennedy was de-
liberately vague at his press con-
ference. but it seems clear the
United States will remove the re-
quirement for internationally
manned detection stations (but
not the stations) on Soviet ter
ritory, if the Russians will allow
international teams to check on
suspected underground tests.
Since the Russians already have
announced plans for new series
Of tests, and since they have re-
jected any sort of international
inspection, the American plan will
be mainly for the eight neutral
nations at the conference.
1t will be another attempt to
demonstrate the United States de-
sire to have such a ban, under
realistic terms. Observers believe
the neutrals. once feared to be

Doctors Notified

By the end of 1851 the Ameri-
can company had notified doctors
not to use the drug on women
of child-bearing age and by March
of this year it withdrew the drug
from the experimental use entirely.
Dramatization of the drug fol-
lowed widespread publicity in the
case of an Arizona woman who
asked legal permission to have an
abortion because she had taken
the pills obtained in England
and feared she would bear a de-
formed child.
Two things happened immedi-
ately:
A search was begun by Food
and Drug agents to try to recover
all the pills which had been given
out to doctors in this country and
to determine whether any had
been given to pregnant women.
The administration started
drive for a tighter control of such

thing in Algeria. carrying it out
another. Col, Boumedienne re-
mained in power in western Al
geria, and aligned his 10000 we'll
armed troops with Mr.. Ben Bella's
growing number of political sup
porters.
AS the weeks dragged on with
this dangerous split preventing
any positive action, voices be-
came heard asking for COM
promise. The Algerian leaders
with the exception perhaps of the
army - felt a compromise was
mandatory to prevent civil war
and economic anarchy. The Ben
Khedda forces controlled the
mountains and could fight for
years, if necessary.

Praise by Kennedy

Last week the President of the
United States took three occa-
Sions in his press conference to
praise the caution and intelli-
gence of this Government en-
ploye. She had, he said, saved
this country from a tragedy of
incalculable proportions.
What had happened was that
DR.. Kelsey had not been able to
satisfy herself that all was right
when the drug didn't work on
animals. 1t didn't put them to
sleep. This indicated to her that
animal research might not indi-
cate adequately the effect of the
drug on man.
The next February-siX months
later-Dr. Kelsey happened to be
reading a British medical journal
which contained a letter from a
doctor who said he thought thalid-
omide might be causing peripheral
neuritis, tingling sensation in
the arms and legs. She notified
the American drug company.
BY November of 1861 German
doctors had reached the conclu-
sion that the drug was respon-
sible for an increase in the num-
ber of deformed babies born. It
was withdrawn from the market
in that country.
DR.. Kelsey's vigilance had kept
the drug from the market in this
country but it had not kept the
company which wanted to sell it
here from sending OUT expert
mental samples to 1900 physi-
clans. The doctors were to give
them to their patients as they
wished and to evaluate their ef-
feet. This was in accord with
the present law. Also it followed
procedures conn monty used
throughout the drug industry,

Drugs:
Near Tragedy

President Kennedy last week
called upon Congress to enact
stronger laws to protect con-
sumers against possibly harm
full effects of such drugs as
thalidOmide.
A sleeping pill called thalido-
mide was the most popular in
Germany. 1t was sold by the mil
lions. Manufactured by a reput-
able firm in Stolberg, it was sold
without prescription and was
widely recommended to pregnant
women suffering from morning
sickness.
The pill was first put on the
market in Germany in 1858, soon
thereafter was being taken in
England. and in September, 1860,
application was made for its sale
in the United States.
The application went to the
Food and Drug Administration,
specifically to the desk of a At
year-old woman researcher in the
administration, DR.. Frances Old
ham Kelsey. Although the firm
which sought to sell the drug in

drugs and a Senate committee
held a hearing on the subject.
The administration moves were
started by President Kennedy
who said that steps should be
taken to strengthen regulations
on experimental use Of such drugs.
An administration bill pending in
the House Se-known as the Harris
bill would allow immediate re-
moval of a new drug when it
posed a hazard to public health.
Now the Government must fur
niSh positive evidence that it is
harmful before it can be removed.
The bill also calls for tighter fac
tory inspections. extends the time
the Government can study new
applications and bears down on
the illicit distribution of barbitu-
ateS. A somewhat similar bill was
introduced in the Senate by Sem
ator Kefauver, Democrat of Ten
nessee, but was greatly watered
down in committee. The Presi-
dent indorsed the Kefauver bill
in its original form but now both
he and the author of the bill feel
it does not go far enough.
Evening star., 1962-08-05
Changing Rules

The new Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, Anthony
]. Celebrezze, said that the Food
and Drug administration can, on
its own, tighten some regulations
governing the use in tests of un-
licensed drugs on humans and
that it will do so. He urged, also,
that legislation be enacted.
The Senate hearing was held by
the Government Operations SUBJ
committee and there Food and
Drug Commissioner George P.
Larrick said his agency can make
some changes without legislation,
including one which would require
closer coordination of manu-
facturers and the Government in
the testing system.
The word subsequently went out
that both steps will be taken: the
Food and Drug Administration will
make its changes and the White
House will push for passage, of
the House bill.
Few issues have more dramati-
cally caught the public's eye in re-
cent years; action was inevitable.

Contributing Writer

ATLANTA.-Dramatic assaults
upon the Shaky barricadeS of
segregation fill many daily head
lines, but a new push for Negro
voting power is the most Signif-
icant civil rights action in the
South these days especially this
week when primaries start.
That is the consensus of Negro
leaders long active in the fight
against racial discrimination. It
seems also to be the view of the
Kennedy administration and the
head Of the Justice Departments
Civil Rights Division, Burke
Marshall.
And a one-time president of the
Citizens Councils Of America, w.
M. Rainach Of Louisiana, warned
of it in alerting his followers to
fight for Negro disfranchisement
with the weapons Louisiana used
in 1898.
Since the white South around
the turn of the century purged
Negro voters who had gained the
ballot through Federal pressure,
Negroes only sporadically have
made progress in regaining their
rights.
Now the greatest effort ever is
being made to overcome the lag
with a giant stride that will be
both well-financed and masSively
organized.
Foundations Give Money
The Southern Regional Council,
an organization working for Negro
rights from headquarters in At
lanta. announced the beginning Of
a voter registration project that
already has been assured of
1926, 900 from foundations and is
expecting to receive more.
Participating in the project will
be DR.. Martin Luther Kings
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of
Colored People, the Congress Of
Racial Equality. the National
Urban League and the Student
Nonviolent Co-ordinating Com
mittee (SNCC).
Even before the impressive fl
nancing was assured, DR.. Kings
organization and the SNCC, a
Student-led offShoot of it, were
graphing with the problem. Their
members were out soliciting people
to register in areas of the South
where no Negroes were voting,
and sometimes the young field
workers were beaten or jailed.
DR.. Kings goal is doubling
Negro registration in the South
within the next two years. To
accomplish this, he set out earlier
this year on the first of several
buSh-beating tours.
Mississippi First
His, first stop was In the
Mississippi Delta. the very name
of which is a watchword of white
resistance.
Over a rutted dirt road he
moved along past cotton gins and
churches to the little community
of Jamestown, where dozens of
Negroes . in faded overalls and
cotton print dresses were milling
about, talking and waiting.

AS PRIMARIES BEGIN
Negro Voter Registration Pushed Hard

were legally entitled to partici-
pate in the Democratic primaries,
their numbers did not continue
to rise impresSively after the late
1940s because means then were
found to evade the effect of the
ruling.
In the South at large, although
big changes now appear to be in
the offing, the total number of
Negro voters has changed very
little.
The Voting Figures
The trend has been this way
in this century:
About 1880, fewer than 100000
Of the million voting-age Negroes
in the South were registered; they
could vote only in the usually
meaningless general elections be-
cause the Democratic primaries
were limited to whites.
BY 1946, some Gas, 1000 of a total
of million were registered, a
big increase because the white
primary" (under which the Demo-
cratic Party presented itself as a
private club of whites) had been
outlawed by the Supreme Court.
More than 125,000 Negroes were
registered within a few months
in Georgia alone after the ruling
took effect there.
Today some 1850, 900 Negroes
are registered in the South, but
most of the new names on the
rolls had been added by 1854.
The reason this figure has
changed little in the past few
years is that the Supreme Court
decision threw white supremacy
groups into action and the voter
purges they brought about offset
the gains Negroes were making
in some urban areas.
The Citizens Councils were
formed in Mississippi as a direct
result of the Supreme Court de-
cision. They are credited with a
State Constitutional Amendment
under which Negro voters were
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000.
The Voter Purge
Citizens councils leaders in
Louisiana were largely responsible
for engineering a voter purge that
reduced Negro registration from
an equitable 81 per cent of the
total in 1854 to about 13 per cent
a few years later.
Today about so per cent Of
the age-eligible white people Of
the South are registered to vote,
but only about 25 per cent Of
the Negroes. The Civil Rights
Commissions latest report lists
these percentages for Negroes:
Mississippi, 6.1 per cent of the
prospective voters are registered:
South Carolina, 1913; Alabama.
1877; Virginia. 230; Georgia, 25.8
Louisiana, 500; Arkansas, 37.7;
North Carolina, 38.2; Texas, 38.8;
Florida, 800; and Tennessee, 48.1.
The national significance Of
these figures is pointed up by the
fact that today So per cent of
the Nations 18,872,0 900 Negroes
live in IL Southern States and
most are. in some degree. subject
to discrimination in the exercise
of the most basic right of citizen
ship.

THE NATIONAL SCENE

President announced at his press
conference that he still wants to
see the July financial reports be-
fore deciding whether to ask for
tax cut now to speed economic
recovery. There is expectation
that the Senate leaders will hold
off debate on the tax revision bill
until the President decides, with
the idea that if tax cut is asked
it can be offered as an amend
ment to the revision bill. This
decision may come during the
present week. July employment
figures SIS slightly better than the
previous month-gave some indi-
cation that there may not be an
effort to cut taxes right away
after all.
FOREIGN TRADE - Passed by
the House and now before the
Senate Finance Committee. This
bill-considered by many to be the
most important single piece of
legislation before the present ses-
sion-is in line for passage. 1t
would give the President the right
to alter tariffs to meet foreign
competition created by the Com
mon Market in Europe. Its ulti-
mate ramifications involve a
closer economic and, in time, po-
litical-alignment of this country
and its European allies.
Each week brings it's new series
of prophecies on when Congress
will quit. Labor day, a convent
ent if unscientific dividing line
between summer and fall, quite
obviously will pass without Con-
gresS passing with it. The most
often heard reports last week said

Algeria:
A Winner

Vice Premier MOhammed Ben
Bella emerged victorious last
week in his mOnth-lOng political
fight with Premier Benyoussef
Ben Khedda.
A month ago Friday, the people
of AlgierS thronged the streets
and deliriously welcomed Premier
Ben Khedda to the Algeria capi-
tai. The occasion was Algerian
Independence Day, and Mr.. Ben
Khedda had flown to Algeria
to accept sovereignty from the
French.
With Mr.. Ben Khedda on that
day were most of the members of
the Algerian Provisional Govern
ment-picked by the Algerian ma
tionalist council months before.
ConSpicuously missing, however,
was Vice Premier Ben Bella.
Mr.. Ben Bella, more radical,
more nationalist, and more neu-
tralist, than Mr.. Ben Khedda had
fled to Morocco, arguing that the
Ben Khedda faction did not rep
resent the real feeling of the
Algerian nationalists.
This view was shared by the
general staff of the Algerian Lib
Grafton Army which spent the
seven years of the Algerian war
in Tunisia and Morocco. The lead
er of the army, Col. Houari
Boumedienne, was believed more
anthem Khedda than Mr. Ben
Bella. He was known to be plotting
a military coup, hoping thereby
to hasten progress" in his
country.
Mr.. Ben Khedda had fired Col.
Boumedienne for his criminal &C
tions," but firing a colonel is one
