The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1962-09-07

| WASHINGTON, ID. C.-(LABOR)
Prospects looked bright this week
that Americans will get more pro
lection on the safety of new drugs
and that we won't have to pay Sc
much in the future for many pre-
scription drugs.
The Senate last week, by 70 to 0,
passed a bill aimed at achieving
these goals. A House committee is
expected soon to report out some
what similar bill, and House passage
will probably follow.
Chief credit for these prospects
goes to two things:
First, the long fight by Senator
Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) and two
other members of his Senate Anti
Trust Subcommittee, Senators John
Carroll (D-Colo.) and Philip Hart
(D-Mich.), to win for the public
cheaper and safer prescription drugs.
Second the horrifying story of the
new tranquilizer drug, thalidomide.
This drug caused thousands of preg-
nant women in Europe and Canada
to bear deformed babies.
WHY OPPOSITION FADED
Nearly all American mothers were
saved from this, thanks to a Food
and Drug Administration expert, DR..
Frances Kelsey. DR.. Kelsey's unusual
stubbornness prevented thalidomide
from being approved in the United
States. Even so, however, many U. S.
physicians had given thalidomide to
their patients, including 624 preg-
nant women, on an experimental
basis.
The thalidomide story-with
Americas narrow escape from
mass tragedy-pointed up the
weakness of our existing laws on
introduction of new drugs. Politi-
cal opposition to Kefauver's drug
bill began fading fast.
Earlier, last June, "conserva-
tive coalition" in the Senate Judici-
airy Committee, led by Senators
James Eastland (D-Miss.) and Ever
EFT Dirksen (R-Ill.), had Quilted many
sections of Kefauver's bill.
NAY LOWER PRICES
More recently, after the thalido-
hide scandal, this coalition turned
all. Acting at President Kennedy's
'equest, they beefed the bill up again.
The bill passed the Senate in this
form, with addition of a
urther strengthening amendment by
<efauver. The Senate-passed bill now
contains five major provisions to
trengthen the FDA's authority to
'revent unsafe or ineffective new
rugs from being sold.
In addition, the Senate bill has
everal sections aimed at encourage

Israel To Issue
Stamp Honoring
UJA's 25th Year

NEW YORK - The Israel gov
ernment, in recognition of the hui
manitarian services performed by
the United Jewish Appeal in be-
half of immigrants and distressed
Jews, will issue a special COM
memorative stamp in December,
on the eve of the UJA's 25th an
niversary year, to be observed in

by the UJA in the United States
are spent on newcomers to Israel:
immigration, housing, agriculture
and assistance for the aged, chroni-
cally ill and handicapped.
First-day covers are to be sent
to 100000 UJA supporters through
out the country. The covers will
contain a special message f r m
Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion

ton of the UJA in safeguarding
the Jewish people wherever and

TORONTO (JTA) = A Toronto
Jewish community official reported
this week on his return from Ha-
vana that the five synagogues there
were functioning without interfer-
ence from the Castro regime.
There are no Synagogues in other
Cuban cities.
Ben Kayfetz, executive director
of community relations here for
the Canadian Jewish Congress and
B'nai Birth, said also that all
Jewish institutions in Cuba were
continuing to operate as they had
before some 5000 Cuban Jews emf
grated. He added that there was a
complete religious freedom for the
remaining 1000 to $500 Jews in
Cuba.
He cited, as an example, the fact
that there had been no objections
from the government to a cabled
appeal to the Israeli Chief Rabbi
nate to send a ritual slaughterer
to Cuba.
The appeal was made because
the lone ritual Slaughterer in Cuba,
who is rs, is i'll and would not be
able to serve as shochet m h
longer. Meat supplies in Cuba are
rationed, and such rations cannot
be accumulated.
'If kosher meat and poultry are
not available for the 1000 observ-
ant Jews registered with Havana'S
three kosher butchers, the ration
is lost for that period" he said.

Grant Aids Work
On Heor+-Device
Power Source

NEWARK (JTA) - The John A.
Hartford Foundation has given a
grant of $40,8 ,839 to the Newark
Beth Israel Hospital for develop
ment of special heart treatment
device, the second grant for that
purpose.
The device is called an implant-
able self-energizing pulse genera
tor unit for the treatment of COM
plete heart block. The study will
continue under the direction of DR..
Victor Parsonnet, associate in gen.
eral surgery at the hospital.
The project seeks to develop an
electrical device for charging bat
teries which will use a source of
energy within the body of the heart
patient. The batteries are used in
pulls e generator to stimulate
heart beats. The pulse generator,
called a "pacemaker," is needed
by patients with such heart blocks
which result in a very slow pulse
rate which is unable to support
consciousness and usually ends in
death.
A total of 26 such pacemakerS
have been implanted in patients at
the hospital, making it possible for
them to resume normal lives. But
they must be operated on for bat
terry replacement when the mer-
cury-cell batteries run out after
about five years, hence the search
for units using energy in the body.
A prototype, which uses the energy
produced by the beat of an artery,
has been tested successfully on
animals.

the Fascist leader. Charges against
Poujade had been filed by the

Molly Picon
In English
Film Debut
BY HERBERT G. LUFT

HOLLYWOOD (JTA) - Molly
NPicon, the beloved first lady of the
Yiddish stage and screen, has been
in Hollywood making her English
language motion picture debut in
Come Blow Your Horn" from the
Broadway comedy by Neil Simon,
In which she co-stars portrayine
Frank Sinatra's mother, with an
other great Jewish actor, Lee J.
Cobb, as the crooner's father.
Jill st. John (Oppenheimer) one
or the m photographed Young
women in the world, appears as
Frankie's slightly dumb but lusci-
Gus neighbor.
Molly and her husband, Jacob
Kalich, are old friends of this
cOlumnist. We were together two
years ago in London where Miss
Pic o n portrayed the Gertrude
Berg role in Majority of One"
opposite the very British "Japa-
nese" Robert Morley. She tells
me she took leave of absence
from the cast of the New York
musical "Milk and Honey to
make the movie in Hollywood.
1t was in 1888 when still in Nazi
Germany that saw the first Yid-
dish-language Molly Picon movie
which was made a year earlier in
Warsaw, Poland. Actually, Molly
is a product of the Lower East Side
where she started in an amatuer
show at the age of 5. It was Jacob
Kalich who took her later to Eu-
rope where she appeared in Eng
land, France, Russia, Poland. Ru-
mania, Belgium, Switzerland; and
to South Africa, South America,
and of course to Israel.
Molly PicOn has remained on
the top of her profession for over
a quarter of century. She ap-
peared frequently on TV, includ-
ing the Ed Sullivan and j ck
Paar shows, and was seen In
several Broadway plays, such as
'sMOrning Star" She and her
husband have sold literally mill

Molly sings and speaks in many
languages, but prefers Yiddish, the
language of her heart, always man.
a ging to disarm her audience.
Those who meet her for the first
time are surprised that she speaks
without an accent - be-
cause much of the work of the
New York-born performer has been
identified with the old countries.
In spite of fabulous success dur
ing recent years, Molly Picon has
remained a simple, unassuming
Jewish woman. Millions of movie
goers of the younger generation
who have never seen Molly Picon
but heard a great deal about her
will now have chance to discover
for themselves her outstanding tai
ent in the new Paramount picture.

Holmes County Gets
S13,O43.OO Extra
Gasoline Funds

Holmes County will receive
the sum of $13,043 from the
stae in extra gasoline tax
collections shortly, according
to Paul Gather, state motor
vehicle comptroller.
Each of the county's five
supervisors districts will re-
ceive its proportionate share
of the money based on total
road mileage.
Every county in the state
will share in the distribution
of the extra tax funds from
gasoline which totaled $780,
343.06. All have already
drawn their statutory limit of
$4,000.
Division of the monies to
each county is based on area
and population.
The Legislature in 1858
changed the law so that every
county draws $4,000 regard
less of size and road mileage.
Previously the larger counties
had drawn much larger
share because of larger popu-
lations, receipts, etc.
