Shelter living, even in the
de luxe model provided for us,
is q come down from the aver
age American way Of life"
Although the temperatures
outside ranged from about So
to 81 degrees. inside it rose
from IS to ~ in the first four
hours. The heat of our bodies
pushed it up to 30 and above.
Food Small Problem
Food was the least of the
problems. I experienced no
hunger or thirst pangS, even
though my caloric intake Of
TOO calories was about one
fourth of my normal daily diet.
Lack Of privacy did not seem
to bother anyone except for
certain members who could not
sleep because of the snoring of
others. The story could have
been quite different, If the
shelter had been filled. The liv-
ing space would then have
been reduce d to about 10
square feet per person, an area
slightly smaller than that COW
cred by q twin bed.
We spent the first four hours
setting up beds mot supplied in
public shelter0, assignin g
tasks such as feeding, fire pro-
lection, Pathological monitor
ing, ecordfng messages re-
ceived via loudspeaker and
two-way radio from our con-
| troll center" and planning
training and recreation periods.

more than two or three of us

such as siphoning water out OF

THE SPEAKER ASKED If
that would be all right with
the House, and here came Mr..
Rooney again and objected.
Mr.. Alger then miraculous
ly came up with a copy OF
"JefferSon's Manual" on pro-
cedure. He stated that &C.
cording to Jefferson dis
orderly words are not to be
noticed til the Member has
finished his speech"
But the Speaker answered
that disorderly words can be
noticed at any time.
So Mr.. Alger, struggling to
save something of Mr.. Fore
mans effort, came up with a
new idea. How about, he
asked, going through the
speech and deleting all the
pinkoS?
This would have made 1t
difficult for Mr.. Foreman to
saw who he had called pinko
and who he hadn't called
pinko, but he never had the
chance to give 1t a try.
Mr.. Rooney objected again
announcing. in a way, that
he didn't want to either hear
or read the speech, with Oh
without the pinkos.
Well, that about wrapped
1t up.
But it all leaves you sort o.
wondering. How would vol
say you hadn't called So
and-so a pinko If yol
couldn't say "pinko"?

The commissioner Of the Food
and Drug Administration,
George p. LarT1ck, said today
that the hackers of Krebiozen.
q drug claimed to have some
anti-cancer effect, appear to
have forfeited their opportunity
to continue to distribute the
drug outside Of Illinois.
1--WE not yet talked with our
lawyers on this" he said, but
the law says distribution Of an
experimental drug Is illegal
without a plan Of investigation
filed with FDA."
Mr.. Larrick said he had re-
ceived today a withdrawal Of
the Krebiozen plan from the
drugs hackers. The hackers had
announced Friday in Chicago
that they were withdrawing the
application.
They complained, according
70 the Associated Press, Of
harassment by the Government.

patients from out Of State
could not bring supplies out Of
Illinois.
Patients living in Illinois,
however, could continue to get
the drug. 1t Is believed.
The product was invented by
DR.. Stevan Durovic. q former
Yugoslavian who now lives In
Chicago. Krebiozen is made
at his Promak laboratories in
Chicago.
Various claims have been
made for Krebiozen in the past
dozen years, but data on pa
tients treated with it has not
convinced groups working in
the cancer field. In its most
charitable reports, the Ameri-
can Cancer Society has called
the product improved"
Besides reviewing the Kre-
biozen plan for investigational
use, FDA has been collecting
case histories on persons
treated with the product.
Even with the plan with
drawn, FDA has made no de-
cision to abandon the study Of
these cases, a spokesman said.

Two on Paper
Win Appeal in
Contemplate

PHILADELPHIA, July IL
| (AP)-Pennsylvania's Supreme
Court today cleared the pres.
ident Of a Philadelphia news
paper and the papers city
editor Of contempt charges and
set aside fines and prison SEN
fences for their refusal to give
q grand jury information about
sources Of stories concerning
alleged wrongdoing in City
Hall.
The States high tribunal
divided 81 in throwing out
the convictions Of President
Robert Taylor and City Editor
Earl Selby OF the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
Each had been fined $1,000
and sentenced to five days In
jail last April IS. but remained
free on bond pending outcome
Of the appeal.
Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Selby
said q 1897 State law protected
them In their refusal to dis
close news sources to q special
grand jury investigating al
legged corruption In Philadel-
phia's Democratic controlled
government.
Judge Bernard J. Kelley Of
Common Pleas Court, who con-
victed them without q jury,
said the newspaper disclosed
the source In published stories
and thus could not invoke the
State law.
Judge Kelley ruled that once
the Bulletin identified the
source 1t waived its right to
invoke the law insofar as In
formation 1t had obtained
from the source was concerned,
Chief Justice John c. Bell
jr.. wrote the majority opinion
which was the first ever
handed down in Pennsylvania
on the validity Of the Law
guaranteeing newsmen the
right to protect sources in any
legal proceedings.
Justice Herbert B. Cohen,
former Pennsylvania attorney
general, dissented.
Chief Justice Bell held that
q newspaper can refuse to dis
close not only the names OF
persons its reporters interview
but also documents-such as
tape recordings and other ma
terials - 1t may obtain from
that source.
