There are reports that Chair

chairmanship in the near fu-
ture.
Should this be true. II would

Senator Johnston has been
the strongest champion OF Fed
eral employees in the Senate for
more than a decade, and major
credit for most Of the pay raise
and fringe benefit bills belongs
TO him more than any other
man.
The rumors emanating from

the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee, OF which he is now rank

tremely rare type in which the

The extensive damage may

Three Pills a Day
Usually, the victims have
taken the equivalent of three
pills a day for three years or
more. The persons who would
take the product this often are
often migraine headache suf-
ferers. Phenacetin, combined
with aspirin, may offer relief
for this type of pain that aspirin
alone cannot, some physicians
and patients believe.
In fact, one of DIR. Schrei-
ner's patients went back to the
use of phenacetin products
in spite Of warnings about the
damage that would result.
DR.. Schreiner believes there
is another problem with phe-
nacetin. In some cases, he said
the extensive use Of phenace-
tin can actually make head
aches more likely.
Thus, as each dose Of pain
killer wears off, q headache
develops - and more pain
killer. with phenacetin, is
taken.
Phenacetin-containing head
ache pills, which usually cost
a little more than plain as

stomach distress in a recent

KIDNEY DAMAGE CLUE
Specialist Suspects
Pain Killing Drug

A Georg town University
Hospital specialist said today
he has examined and studied
six patients whose kidneys very
probably we're damaged by
commonly used headache prod
ucts.
These products contained
phenacetin, which is used in
combination with aspirin in
many prescription and over
the-counter pain killers. The
chemical has been linked to
kidney damage by European re-
searcherS but few observations
of the damage have been COL
lected here.
A spokesman for the Food
and Drug Administration,
which has been studying re-
ports of phenacetins effects,
has said there is no evidence
that cold and pain remedies
with the ingredients are harm
full when taken in nomal doses
for minor complaints.
DR.. George E. Schreiner, di-
rector of the local hospitals

said problems of the six patients
whom he has studied carefully
