of Algiers. In 1858 he was
appointed to st. Cyprian's as
an assistant.
During the recent revolu-
ton, many priests were seiz-
ed by the rebels. Some we're
killed, but most of them were
freed after an internment in
the midst of rebel troops
where they were taken to
care for wounded insurgents.
Fathers Ply and Chassine
were the fifth and sixth
White Fathers to be killed
in Algeria since 1857.
This town, located about
halfway between Algiers and
Oran, was founded in 1872
by Charles Cardinal Law
gerie - the founder of the
White Fathers-as a refuge
for children orphaned by a
famine which had hit AL
geria.
ST. Cyprian's parish also
serves the nearby towns Of
Ste onique and Carnot. All
told, the area has about 800
Catholics.

A Ruddy Marvel

When Sir Winston Churchill left
Londons Middlesex Hospital after 81
days of treatment for fractured thigh,
plus various subsequent complications,
his personal physician, Lord Moran,
remarked, II have come to think of him
as invincible." Among the hundreds
who cheered good old Winnie" on the
street, one described him as "a ruddy
marvel"
Either or both of these descriptions
satisfy us, and we are not at all surprised
he is back home again. He is, after all,
only 81 years old, and obviously much
more than a match for such success
sion of annoyanceS as broken bone,
irregular pulse, phlebitis, bronchial in
fection, slight touch Of jaundice and
a threat of pneumonia. Good show, by
good Snowman, as always.

Safer Druos

The revitalized drug-reform bill ap-
proved by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee is, as Senator Kefauver says, a
great step forward" in plugging obvious
loopholes in the public control and reg
ulation of the drug industry. With the
House Commerce Committee also at
work on similar legislation, the pros
poets of enacting a meaningful bill,
virtually nil few weeks ago, suddenly
have become excellent.
In large measure, this change has
resulted from the tremendous public
interest which has focused on the dra-
matte and tragic effects of the drug,
thalidomide. 1t is not the first time
that tragedy or a crisis has served to
develop preSSureS for needed remedial
legislation.
But there inevitably is danger in
such circumstances, when public feel
ingS and emotions Ito which politicians
are always reSponsive) run high, of
overzealousneSS in the imposition of gov
ernmental controls. An emotional at
moSphere," as one House witness de-
clared the other day, most aSsuredly
does surround the entire question of
drug controls And this fact requires
that the members of the Senate and
the House take special pains to assure
that the precise language and details
of the proposed new controls meet the
test Of necessity in order to protect the
public welfare.
We think the intent of the provi-
SionS of the Senate bill does meet this
test. Certainly the assurance of ade-
quate time for the FDA to consider
new drug applications, particularly when
there is reason to be suspicious, is rea-
Sonable. 1t is high time that FDA be
empowered to rule on the claims for
efficacy, as we'll as the safety, of new
drugs, and to exercise more effective
surveillance over manufacturing stand
ards. BY the same token, where there
may be Imminent danger to the public
health" from drug already on the
market, the agency should be able to
withdraw the drug Immediately. This
is specific instance, however, of a
case in which Congress should make
sure that the bill gives drug companies
the full right of redress, and requires
the expeditions settlement of Federal
actions which might be contested.
In confining the bills provisions
largely to medical rather than to eco
nomic issues, the Senate committee has
bolStered its chances, and wisely so.
Senator Kefauver, in our opinion, made
a strong case against the unconScionably
high costs Of some drugs, during the
lengthy hearings before his subcommit-
tee. This, however, is matter which
can and should be dealt with later. The
achievement of practical and realistic
new safeguards in the manufacture,
the distribution and the use of the
great profuSion of new drugs now be-
coming available is goal of no small
significance.

Why Wait?

Every time we drive past, it seems
that another span Of the new Theodore
Roosevelt Memorial Bridge has materi-
allied out of thin air At this rate it
will not be long before automobiles are
rolling over it. And that being the case
it was nevitable-unleSS the cars were
to tumble off the bridge into the Poto-
mac River that the National Park
Service and the Virginia Highway De-
partment would have to resolve their
differences pretty soon over the use of
park lands in connection with the con-
Struction Of approach roads at the Vir-
ginia end of the bridge.
We were not as much interested,
therefore, in the fact that this long and
dreary controversy actually was set
tied the other day, as in the manner
of the agreement.
All that happened was that Conrad
Wirth, the able director of the Park
Service, invited a top-level Virginia
highway official, equally able to speak
for his agency, to a private meeting at
the Interior Department. Around a
table, and flanked by Federal and State
lawyers, the two men managed in one
sitting to settle the whole matter to
their mutual satisfaction. The Park
Service won several concessions as far
as its interests are concerned. And the
Virginia people went back to Richmond
with permit enabling them to cross
the parks with their roads.
In short, this demonstrated what
reasonable men can accomplish when
they act reasonably. The thing that
puzzles us in why it always takes so long
to do what inevitably must be done.

Tense Berlin

The abolition of the office of
the Soviet commandant in Berlin has
brought from the State Department an
announcement that we will continue
Ito hold the Soviet Union responsible
for its obligations in Berlin" under the
four-power agreement entered into II
years ago.
Just what this means is far from
clear. Seventeen years is a long time
and if the Kremlin has finally decided
to ignore the four-power agreement
there is no apparent means, short of
force, by which we can hold it reSpon-
Sible in any meaningful sense of the
word. The best guess seems to be that
Mr.. KhruShchev has taken a first step
toward signing the separate peace treaty
with East Germany which he has talked
Of for so long. If he goes all the way
and actually signs such a treaty, the
Western powers would be forced to deal
with the East Germans if they dealt
with anyone, and this could bring a
variety of troubles. There is no need,
however, to cross that bridge now. We
can reveal our course of action when
a decisive move is made by the SovietS.
Meanwhile, the tension in West
Berlin has Subsided, at least to some
extent. The police have clamped down
on the mobS and the rioting has ended.
Doubtless this could have been done
earlier had the authorities desired. We
have stationed an ambulance and its
crew near the checkpoint at which an
East German youth was shot and killed
by East German guards while trying
to escape. The reason for this move is
obscure. An Associated Press dispatch
says, however, that United States
authorities hope that Stationing the
American ambulance near the Berlin
wall will Soothe West Berlin temperS
without inflaming the East-W West border
situation"
This, if correct, strikes us as child
iSh. We should not concern ourselves
with soothing" West Berlin tempers.
And if the ambulance, in event of an
other shooting, does not move into East
Berlin to assist the victim we will look
ridiculous, to say the least. If it does
move in, and we do not see how it could
do otherwise, the border situation GER
tainly is going to be inflamed.

FoHout Shelters

The space flight by the
Russian cosmonauts in Vos-
toks III and w increases the
Russian space potential for
peace and war. 1t will be
some time before we dupli-
cate this.
The House Appropriations
Committee would do well to
reconsider the refusal a cou-
pie of weeks ago of $685.
755,000 for an extensive fall
out shelter program. These
shelters might mean the diff
ference between life and
death for millions Of people.
