As ErrorCu
In Drug Use

The American Medical AS
sociation's Council on Drugs
today recommended a radical
change in the labelling of pre-
Scription drugs SO that the
label would include the name
and strength of the product.
The recommendation would
greatly change the average
family's medicine closet which
now often contains a collection
Of mysterious pills with direc-
tons for use but little other
information.
The council made It's recon-
mendation in an editorial in
the Journal of the American
Medical Association, published
today in Chicago. 1t said that
naming the drug or at least
indicating its purpose on the
label would help to prevent
mix-ups between two or more
drugs being taken at the same
time by persons in the same
family.
Further, THE name of the
drug and its strength on the
label may save precious min
utes and spell the difference
between life and death in cases
Of attempted suicide, accidental
overdosage or accidental pois-
oning Of children"
The ready availability of the
name Of the drug would also
help when a patient expert
ences side-effects sometimes
related to too high a dosage
of a drug.
1t would also help in investi-
cations of birth defects. In the
past, it has been found that
few mothers could recall-prob-
ably because they never knew
the names of drugs they took
during pregnancy.
The council recommended
the new labelling sin general
but said there must be some
exceptions. There will be some
cases, the council said, in which
labelling opiates and barbitu-
rates (Which might be stolen
or deliberately mis-useO should
not include drug names.
There are also selected pa
taentS who are better off not
knowing what drugs they are
being given by name.
Thus, said the council, the
prescription irons doctors fill
out should have boxes to check
indicating whether the label
should have the drug store
name or not. If a doctor does
not mark either, said the coun-
Gil the label should automatic
ly be filled out to include the
drug name.

Senator Pastore, Democrat
of Rhode Island, acting chair
man of the Senate committee,
told reporters he still would
like to finish the committee
hearings this week but that
this might not be possible.
Each Union Represented
1t was understood the Unions
would not present a joint
spokesman as did the carriers,
but that each brotherhood
would offer its own testimony.
The Senate committee also
was under some pressure to
schedule additional witnesses
next week, including George
Meany, AFL-CIO president.
Chairman Harris of the House
committee said hearings in that
branch definitely would run
several days next week.
Charles Luna, president of
the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, AFL-CIO, and one
of the witnesses listed for to-
days Senate hearing, de-
nounced Mr.. Kennedy's pro-
posal in a statement yesterday
as "just about the worst pos
sible solution"

binding interim work rules is
"a form Of compulsory arbitra-
tion," he said, asserting:

The Washington areas only
successful jazz festival kept its
record - and its audience -
secure yesterday, with the
eighth smash hit in as many
years.
Instead of an electrician
with Spotlights, an officer with
a rifle looked down on the
stage from a nearby guard
tower, and other khaki-clad
guards patroled the aisles in
stead of ushers.
The stage was the baseball
diamond at Lorton Reforma-
tory. the Districts maximum
security prison in Fairfax
County. The audience was
some 1000 inmates of the re-
formatory, the youth center
and the women's prison, 3 miles
away.
Everyone enjoyed themselves,
and nobody got away. Who
could ask for anything more?
Actually, there was a good
deal more to the success of the
performance than that.

Eldridge. Pianist Tommy Flan-

The United States Circuit
Court of Appeals said yesterday
the 1857 merger of j. 1. Case
Co. of Racine, Wis, and the
American Tractor Corp, Chu-

to cheat Case stockholders.
The appeals court overruled
dismissal by the Federal Dis
trict Court at Milwaukee of a
suit by Carl H. Borak, a Case
stockholder, to block the
merger.
The lower court threw out
Mr.. Borak's suit on the ground
that he refused to post a
$1,000 bond to guarantee trial
expenses should he lose his
case. The appeals court held
that such a bond was not re-
CURED by law. 1t ordered the
