TIIE INDIANAPOLIS STAR -SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1982 PAGE 22- Reject 'cooline Fithian, off period others to reintroduce ERA BUT SHE noted that this is an election year, and said that the people who favor ERA should make sure they vote for like minded candidates. Ms. Schultz predicted that by the time the ERA makes it out of Congress, the makeup of the legislature will be different. Fithian, who is running against Republican Richard G. Lugar for the S.

Senate, said that he rejected the notion that the ERA issue should be allowed to cool off before any efforts were made to revive it. "The need for full equality cannot tolerate the 'coolingoff period called for by the Republicans in the Senate," he said. "The passage of this amend ment is already long overdue." ed exactly as the failed amendment was: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The ERA died last week, three states shy of the 38 needed to ratify it. In 1977, Indiana became the last state to approve the amendment, originally passed by Congress in 1972. Fithian was joined in his an nouncement at State Democratic Headquarters, Indianapolis by Rep.

Marilyn F. Schultz (D-Bloomington), who cited national polls that showed 60 percent of those questioned approve of the ERA. Ms. Schultz said that it's unclear whether the ERA could make it through the Indiana legislature now, given its overwhelmingly conservative Republican domination. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Saying "the need for full equality cannot tolerate a coolingoff period." Indiana Congressman Floyd Fithian announced Friday he will re introduce the Equal Rights Amendment next week.

Fithian said he will be among 30 co sponsors of the ERA resolution that will be reintroduced in Congress Thursday.

"We cannot abandon the effort to state clearly Business, owe state Indiana's public universities must plan their programs to aid the state's economic development needs, Lt. Gov. John M.

Mutz said Friday. Mutz told an Indianapolis Press Club audience that he and Gov. Robert D. Orr "will be watching" the universities' cooperation with economic development as budgets are prepared. "ONLY ECONOMIC development can improve our standard of living," Mutz said.

"These are not times of business as usual" for public agencies or the private sector, he observed. Mutz said he wants business and university officials to "brainstorm" for creative ways in which private investments in higher education can further the institutions' value to business. Reagan miners' chief says City State that sex discrimination is not acceptable in our laws, in our policies and in our practices." THE LAFAYETTE Democrat said that the ERA resolution will be word- education aid: Mutz If business invests more in higher education, as a self help measure, the Indiana General Assembly should stop reducing university budgets in proportion to that outside income, Mutz declared. The legislature should stimulate, not discourage, such private aid, he insisted. MUTZ SUGGESTED that businesses give money for endowed university professorships to bring experts in industrial fields to Indiana.

This also would be a step toward reversing Indiana's loss of graduates to other states in critical fields such as engineering, Mutz said. He also urged the legislature to increase the $1,000 maximum credit for corporate contributions to higher education.

While it is often true that medications which could save lives are unavailable in the regions where they are most needed, "Prescriptions for Death" demonstrates that the widespread double standard of marketing applied by many companies can result in much suffering and even death.

The People's Pharmacy By Joe Graedon drug which has been banned or restricted in the U.S., Japan, Sweden, Australia, France, and India because it may cause irreversible nerve damage or blindness, is widely available in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Dangers aside, this drug is effec tive only against amebic dysentery, yet it is sold in many countries with or without a prescription for a wide range of digestive tract disorders. Another drug often used to treat diarrhea is diphenoxylate (Lomotil). Although commonly prescribed in the U.S., this medicine comes with the strong warning against its use for children under two, and the manufac turer, G.D.

Searle, admonishes doctors not to exceed recommended dosages for older children. Despite this, Silverman and his colleagues found that in the Philippines and Central America "the Searle labeling suggests that Lomotil may be given to infants as young as three months." WHEN THIS medicine is administered to such young children, potentially lethal overdose actions could occur. Children are also at the mercy of the drug companies that sell the antibiotic tetracycline. In America, manufacturers must warn physicians to avoid this drug and others like it in treating children younger than 8 in order to prevent permanent staining of the teeth. But many U.S.

pharmaceutical companies omit this warning in their labels for the drug in the Thitl World.

pnaiei of Dick up work Some einrenct foreman Je'ry 000-000 "Prescriptions for Death: The Drugging of the Third World" is a powerful new book. It reveals a cal lous disregard for human life by many of the major pharmaceutical manufacturers of the world. Although no one has kept good records it is estimated that millions of people in developing countries have suffered and many have died because drug companies have not provided adequate warnings for the medicines they sell abroad In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires manu facturers to provide a detailed descrip Hon about the conditions for which any drug is proven to be effective. EVEN MORE important, they must list precautions, warnings, adverse reactions and interactions so that health workers can prescribe -medications safely and appropriately In developing countries, such infor 'mation is often woefully inadequate or even outright misleading. According to the authors of "Prescriptions for Death," "because of the nonexistence or nonenforcement of jaws and regulations, and perhaps the irresponsibility of the companies, claims of product efficacy are -exaggerated to an almost ludicrous jdegree and hazards some of them life-threatening are minimized or not even mentioned."
