A HANDFUL CONTROL THE
NATIONS ECONOMY

"For all of the nations much
vaunted richness and diversity, il
appears that comparative handful,
the managers and boards of a hum
dred or SO corporations, are in con-
troll Their decisions on investment,
output, pricing and employment will
largely determine the course of the
economy"
One of the most unfortunate as
poets of the economic picture, Pat
man feels, is that we "know very
little about what Mr.. Nossiter terms
what do we really know about
the comparative handful of corpor-
ate managers who exercise so much
power over our economic life?" Pat
man asks. 81 am not sure we even
know the names and affiliations of
these managers much less who man.
ages the managers"
Patman also made these obser-
vations:
1t is now % years since the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission, at the
behest of the Temporary National
Economic Committee, made a de-
tailed investigation of s'The Distribu-
tion of Ownership of the 200 Largest
Nonfinancial Corporation" - pub
hshed as TNEC Monograph No. 20.
That study which has never been
brought up to date, contained a
wealth of information, but raised
more questions than it answered.
We still do not know much about
who controls the largest corporations
in the world.
We do not know, according to the
New York Stock Exchanges 1862 |
census of IL million shareowners in
America-that nominees-of banks

Illinois Is First State To
Ratify Poll Tax Ban

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-Illinois has
become the first state in the nation
to ratify the anti-poll tax amendment
to the U. S. Constitution.
The ratification resolution was in
PRODUCED at labor's request in spec
ial session of the legislature called
by Gov. Otto Kerner to provide
emergency funds for public assist
ance programs.
The 87th Congress last August COM
pleted action on the proposed amend
ment to outlaw the requirement of
paying poll taxes in order to vote in
federal elections.
Such poll tax regulations still exist
in five states Arkansas,
Virginia and Texas.
Before it becomes effective as
an amendment to the u. S. Consti-
tuition, the measure must be rati-
fled by the legislatures of three
fourths (38) of the states within
seven years. 1t becomes the law of
the land as soon as the 3Sth state
votes it in.
With Illinois having now ratified
it, there are 81 more states to go.

COOPERATION CAN BRING
YOU CHEAPER DRUGS

If these big buyers of prescription
drugs can achieve such resoundine
savings by buying generically, why
can't you? With the cooperation of
your doctor and the awareness of
your pharmacist, you can.
Up to now, busy doctors have not
only been COMPOUNDED by the great
numbers of new drugs coming on
the market and the confusion of
names, but have felt that highly-ad-
vertised trademarked drugs carried
q reinsurance of quality that drugs
by smaller manufacturers might not
possess. The Senate hearings indi-
Gated there is very little evidence that
this is the case.
Now, with new, rigid standards
of manufacturing practice, regis
tration, inspection, and testing, the
smallest drug producer must meet
the same high standards fulfilled
by the largest manufacturer. If he
doesn't. he will face punitive ac-
ton by the Food and Drug Admin
rstratIon.
But it is a mistake to believe that
only obscure drug manufacturers
produce their drugs under generic
names. One of the largest wholesalers
of drugs in the ountry-McKesson
and Robins-is already distributing
an assortment of prescription drugs
labeled generically-and is passing
the huge savings on to retailers in
terms of Enthusiastically reduced prices.
No doctor wants to have his pa
tents overcharged for drugs. The |
presence of a simple generic name
accompanying each piece of literature
he receives will simplify his task, and
he new, tight F'DA regulations will
,e his reinsurance of quality.
The consumers task will be to find
pharmacist up-o-date enough to
lave on his shelves drugs of proven
uality even though they aren't nee
ssarily backed by a plethora of high
owered, high-priced advertising. !

Study BY Washington POST Economist
Increasing Concentration
OF Economic Power Shown

WASHINGTON, D. Cts
the old story again, the rich
are getting richer.
This is the conclusion reached
by the WASHINGTON POST
economics and labor writer,
Bernard r. Nossiter, in an ar
ticle in THE PROGRESSIVE
MAGAZINE. Nossiter is now at
Harvard University as a Mel
man Fellow.
Rep. Wright Patman (D-Texas)
chairman of the House-Senate Eco
Monies Committee, thought enough
of Nossiter's article, "The Folklore
of Capitalism, to place it in The
Congressional Record.
In the article Nossiter analyses
findings of three recent economic
studies which, he says, puncture
some of the more comforting eco
nomic illusions" These studies. he
says:
"Show that wealth again flowing
to the top in increasing measure;
that shares of the income pie change
very little and in perverse directions;
and that industrial power is becom-
ing increasingly concentrated in the
hands of the largest corporations.
Nossiter further states:
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1963-01-04

| Siter-which brings his study more
UP to date. For example, in 1960-61
he estimates that the top l per cent
of the wealthholders had 20 per cent
of the total wealth, compared with 26
per cent in 1949. He also estimates
that at present there are about 100,-
900 millionaires in the country. as
compared with $4,000 in 1853.
THE CoNGLoMERATE
ENTERPRISE
Finally, in discussing the Census
Bureau report on Concentration
Ratios in Manufacturing Industry,
1885," Nossiter points to the grow
ing problem of the conglomerate en-
terprise. He states:
"The all-purpose or many-purpose
firm is not a new actor on the eco
nomic stage. What is new is the per-
vasiveness of these polyglots. The
conglomerate firm is no longer
rarity but has become typical of big
business organization. It's reach gives
it a cosmopolitan outlook and a con-
tact with power at many points.
"This is not the familiar case of
vertical indignation, the steel pro-
Queer who reaches back in the pro-
duction process to own an iron ore
mine and forward to operate a fab
ricating plant; nor is it the familiar
horizontal Indignation in which the
large auto company gobbles up small
or identical ooror,atito,-c
'The conglomerate extends its
arms into partly related or even
wholly unrelated industries, operat-
ing under logic known neither to
economic, nor to tradi-
Lional legal, theory"
Here again is an area which we
know too little about-the increasing
power Of these giant conglomerate
corporations which seem to grow and
grow despite our antitrust laws.

FURTHER CIVIL RIGHTS
ADVANCES IN DOUBT

This answer, though, was "pIoy".
The President appeared to suggest
that the Southerners would be pri-
marily responsible if there were no
characterization bill. He also re-
minded Negroes, in passing, that he
had protected James Meredith. But
there was no promise of anything
further in the way of civil rights adj
vances. He did not use the oppor-
tunity to call for greater speed in
lntegrating the schools.
The President also neglected the
opportunity to call upon the Northern
Democrats from the big cities to get
behind his aid-for-education program
even if in the first instance it is
Limited to public schools. Nor did
he invite suggestions on where the
parochial schools might fit in.
On civil rights and aid-for-edu-
cation the President thus seemed
to follow the course of least resist
ance. From his brief remarks on
both subjects the prospects for ac-
ton in 1868 look dim.
Taken with other comments in the
interview, one may wonder if Mr..
Kennedy, now that the exuberance
Of 1860 has worn off, plans to swing
20 the right, or just to stand still.

AS it reaches the market, the manu-

Whether you realize it Of
not, you and your children will
very likely have cause to BIZ
grateful to the 87th Congress
for its passage of the Kefauver.
Harris drug bill.
Because of the clear-cut provision:
of this legislation dramatically adopt
ed in the wake of the worldwide
thalidomide catastrophe, you will be
able to buy needed medicines with
the assurance that their quality, safe
ty, and effectiveness have passed
stringent governmental testing and
inspection procedures.
In addition-but scarcely noticed
the bin includes provision which
will mean lower prices for prescrip-
ton drugs not held under tight patent
controls. This will be about half of
those on the market, according to a
recent extensive study.
The provision requires a signifi-
cant change in design for ethical
drug labelling. 1t makes mandatory
the printing of each drugs generic
name in type at least half as large
as that of the trade name wherever
it appears-on the label, in adver-
Using, and in every information
brochure issued by the manufactur-
err. The regulation takes full effect
by May / of 1862.
This is bound to bring order out
of the present chaos of names for
identical drugs. Doctors will have
clearer index into the characteristics
of prescription drugs. For the drug
industry it will mean more competi-
ton, resulting in price savings for
consumers.
But to make this precedent-setting
regulation fully effective, drug buy
ers need to know the rather technical |
facts.
you NEED TO KNOW RATHER
TECHNICAL FACTS
First of all, just what is generic
name?
In medical and pharmaceutical
or established name with which each
drug is classified. Medical students
learn the nomenclature of drugs by
heir generic name. In the venerable
Bible of the drug industry, the U. S.
PHARMACOPOEIA, drugs are listed
by their generic name together with
standards for their properties, prepa-
ration, and purpose. The NATIONAL
prepared and pub
ished by the American Pharmaceuti-
,al Association, also lists by generic
lame.
Trade names, on the other hand,
ire those coined by each producer
FOR his particular drugs and trade
marked for his exclusive use.
For instance: Reserpine is the ,
generic name of well-known seda- !
tive and tranquiizer. Its trade
name include Rau-Sed, Reserpoid,
Sandril, and Serpasil. At the whole
sale level, prices start at $40 for
1000 quarter-grain tablets, when
sold under the trade names, prices
range as high as $3.50 for the
same medicine in the same quaint
ity! +.

SEES NO REASON FOR
COMPLICATED GENERIC NAME

"There is no real reason why the
common name has to be complicated
and hard to use. 1t could be as simple
as many of the brand names in use
today. I can understand why doc
tors are tempted to use brand names
for drug called 'desocycorticoster-
one actate'. He can prescribe by the
brand name Cortate much easier.
"And may I say because the doc
tor prescribes Cortate it costs his
patient seven dollars for a pack
age. If it were prescribed by this
complicated name that l cannot
pronounce. it would cost one dol

of the Cooperative League of the
U. S. A., in his testimony for the drug
bill told of the plight of the severe

tablets. But bought under the
