He said in an interview sup
plementing his column that
such a court should be given
powers not now possessed by
any Government agency in the
drug field.
Its members would be recog-
nized authorities not interested
in moving from academic or
Government service to industry
or vice versa. They would have
high salaries and long tenure.
Act As Auxiliary
1T could act as an auxiliary
to the Public Health Services
and the Food and Drug Admin
istration, so that both agencies
could call on the court for
judgments" DR.. Fischelis add
ed.
He said that in the past, Fed
eral agencies have sometimes
called upon the National Acad-
envy of Sciences for guidance
on drug-evaluating matters, but
he said a supreme court" ap-
pointed by the Government
would be set up for continu-
GUS action"
In his magazine article, DR..
Fischelis declared that largely
due to such things as the cur
rent thalidomide incident, it is
quite apparent that a crisis
in the evaluation of new drugs
is upon us and it looks now as
though food and drug legisla-
ton will be passed at this Ses-

INDIA REPORT
u. S. Policies Stir Anqer

United States, so Washington
tried to avoid judging the case.
What disillusioned America was
Mr.. Nehru's use of force to
settle international disputes.
On Kashmir. President Ken
nedy has asked no more than
Mr.. Nehru has asked in every
dispute not directly involving
India: Talk it over.
One Of the most impressive
aspects of India's current mood
is the dismissal of the pr!n-
ciples of Gandhian non-vic-
llence. remuneration of force and
the integrity of international
boundaries.
Only one Indian among the
many asked about this took
Mr.. Nehru's use Of force in
Goa as a serious breach of
trust and principle.
All others expected the world
to understand and quickly for
get, then listen instead to In
dia's legal case against Portugal.
Most Indians never suspected
that Mr.. Nehru'S no-force
preaching over the years was
taken seriously by Americans.
Specks on Friendship
In perspective, both Goa and
Kashmir are little more than
Specks on the fabric of Indian
American relations.
The highest Indian civil serv-
ants realize this and expect re-
lationS with the United States
to improve, as they have after
previous fallings out. But they
also say they expect the United
States ito show the maturity
Of a great power" and hold its
tongue in the future even if
it disapproves of Indian policy.
Some of erica's best
friends in India, who privately
admit that recent United States
policies have been neither rep
rehensible nor unfriendly, say
it is time for Washington to use
more restraint.
These are the same men who
oppose Mr.. Krishna Menon and
fear he is seeking to estrange
India from the United States
and the United Kingdom.
Further public spanking of
India by American officials,
these friends of America say,
will play into the hands of the
leftistS in India.
Reconciliation Hopes Weak
But a reconciliation is not
made easier, American officials
say, by Indian overtureS to the
| SOVIET Union Tor MIG lighters
And as congressional appro-
priations committees scrutinize
proposals for economic aid to
India in the coming weeks, the
potential for further hurt feel
ings continues high.
1t is unrealistic to hope, how
ever, for completely harmonious
Indian-American relations Sc
long as India and Pakistan are
at odds over Kashmir and 81
long as the United States seek
to maintain friendly relations
with both parties.

however. since the issue crosses
party lines. Even if it gets
Senate approval of tough con-
trolls there is no indication the
House will change its mind.
A new stalemate over this
issue could conceivably result in
the passage Of no farm bill.
Any such result would not be
regarded as an encouraging

slap similar controls on feed
grains.
But he said we've got the
votes" to retain in the battered
measure the tough, mandatory
controls on wheat which the
Senate approved 1898 last
May but which were rejected
in the House.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen said in a separate in
terview he didn't know about
that. He said. however, that
Republicans are withdrawing
their threats to talk at length
against the bill.
Extension Provided
AS reported to the Senate
by its Agriculture Committee,
the measure would provide for
a one-year extension Of the
voluntary corn and feed grain
program previously approved
by the House.
But by a narrow margin the
committee inserted a domestic
quota certificate plan for
wheat, including some Of the
| tougher controls asked by the
administration. It is this Sec
ton which is certain to cause
a floor fight.
Republicans are rallying be-
hind an amendment proposed
by Senator Mundt, Republican
of South Dakota, which he said
would permit farmers to choose
between a two-year extension
of the present stop-gap volun-
tary system, or the domestic
allotment plan now in the
Senate bill.
Republicans generally contend
that farmers particularly in
the Midwest where a major
election-year battle over con-
gressional seats is under way
don't want the strict produc-
ton controls that President
Kennedy proposed.
Emphasize Cost
Administration forces contend,
on the other hand. that only
by such controls will grain sur

! Hurt By the West
In this time of deep crises,
when India feels the need for

too much to bear to find the
two great Western democracies
refusing consolation and even
providing opposition.
India is offended even though
the United States has provided
more than 81 billion in eco

repeatedly treasures New Delhi
that the aid will continue and
has withheld the full support
for Pakistan that a military ally
might expect.

said his speech on Goa "hurt

PeOpe Deeply Offended
The whole middle class and

deeply offended, mainly by the
American attitude toward Goa

singing expression in the
United Nations by Ambassador
Adlai E. Stevenson.
When Prime Minister Nehru
spoke in anguish to Parliament
recently, he spoke for all his
countrymen. 1T is a matter
of deep regret to me-" he said
that repeatedly, when matters
concerning subjects which con-
Germ us greatly, about which
we feel rather passionately al
