MAY 15,1967 The Drug Controversy Headlines rather than legislation is the outlook for new Senate hearings on drug prices. The principal effect of the Kefauver hearings of 1959-62 was to reinforce industry opposition to price and labeling controls. Drug industry interests seem to remain confident that they will emerge relatively unscathed from the encounter coming up on Capitol Hill. The mid-May investigation will be headed bv Sen. Gaylord Nelson successor as chairman of the Senate Monopoly subcommittee to Sen.

The government buys it as reserpine: the corner buvs and dispenses it as Serpasil." CIBA actuallv win the government contract. It was underbid bv another company willing to sell the same batch for 51c. All drugs have a generic, or ficial name, but usually pharmaceutical manufacturers sell bv an unofficial or brand name.

The New Republic observes: drug companies spend $600 million a year in advertising, to din brandnames into the heads of patients and doctors. As a result, 90 per cent of all pre- Jicriptions are written for names, which sometimes are easier to pronounce, spell and remember, but often are Dr. handbook abounds in examples.

Another psychologist has compared the LSD cult to the followers of Christianity in its early stages. Dr. William H.

If the psvch 0 0 gistsi(and psyche- deliacs) can not understand the importance of action to make an idea functional, they will become as extinct as the gin drinkers of day or the opium smokers who epitomized the Westerner's conception of Old China. The LSD cult is not unique or even original. Its equivalent is legion in societies throughout the world. The main problem with it is that it doesn't get the necessary work done and it doesn't advance civilization. What it advocates is a dead end.

To The Point Injustices Of Urban Renewal By RUSSELL KIRK KIRK Many politicians have not yet come to understand that many projects are desperately unpopular with big segments of the electorate. Mexican-Americans in California and Texas, Negroes in most cities, and other have been dispossessed from their accustomed neighborhoods by programs in which, too often, they had no voice. I find that many liberals, as well as conservatives, are up in arms against the administration of the typical urban-renewal project. Recent columns of mine on this subject have attracted many letters, including a forthright response from white middle-class folk. At the moment, such a controversy is raging in Hampton, Virginia for instance.

Buckroe Reach, at Hampton, was declared a disaster area after the fierce tides and winds of 1962 did much damage there. An urban renewal project was launched. But a good many citizens of Buckroe Beach, about to be displaced in consequence, dislike being away from their homes. Here are some remarks by one of them, Mrs. Harrv Lyons: the way the HRHA (urban renewal authority) has thrown its money around on surveys and appraisals, on autos and posh offices, high salaries and travelling expenses they are coming around to the people of Buckroe offering the lowest possible prices for homes and businesses.

They deliberately refuse to consider that had vears of inflation; that the Beach area is a valuable piece of land with the promise of great returns to those who will rebuild it to resemble and compete with Beach, Myrtle Beach, and similar places. say we should be grateful that they are offering us more than the appraisals call for yet they w'ill not allow us to see any appraisals' Well, we are being put out of homes occupied for years, and we want enough money for our places to permit us to buy a house that is as comfortable and as nice and as salt-airy as the one we have. We do not intend to move into any low-incomo apartment group or to any slum area. We want to go where we want or slay here. should poor people being put out of their homes be forced to hire an appraiser and a lawyer, in order to fight back and try to get a sum that is anywhere near the amount they Several other Buckroe Beach folk write to me in similar vein; and I have received letters like this from many states.

A frequent complaint is that such grand designs are undertaken from on high, with no plebiscite or referendum among the people most greatlv affected. Cities that authorize public elections for lu'ban- renewal proposals encounter much less trouble. As Mr. Martin Anderson points out in Federal the constitutionality of the whole urban renewal program is questionable. A strong case can be made that the urban renewal authorities are taking private property without due process of law transfeiTing it to other private owners.

In local, state, and Congressional elections, urban renewal programs may become a bigger issue than most officeholders exnect. Nothing makes a man angrier than being ordered to move out of house and home perhaps to a public housing project. Copyright 1967 ik.Ns Inc. These Days The Trap That Waits For The West Slowly, at the southern end of the Red Sea, a new trap is being prepared to catch the ever unready West. The springing of the trap waits upon the British departure from their historic naval base at Aden, which is schedule for next year.

The two nations that are conniving to change the balance of power at the crossr a where A.cia. Africa, and Mediterranean Europe meet have different ends in Egypt is out to throw a strangulating noo.se around Israel. The Soviet Union is seeking to cut the world in two at a point where oil supply is strategically involved. But the means to the different ends are the same: shut the Red Sea at both ends. The threat to Israel is the hidden kicker that should wake up our somnolent For, if Nasser and the Kremlin are to achieve their different goals, this little country must be blotted out.

Already Egyptian noose is tighteni on the beleaguered Iraelis. The Soviets have rebuilt army, sending technicians to teach the Egyptians how to operate and maintain a thousand new tanks. To the north, the Russians have armed the Syrians, who agree with Nasser on underminig Israel, with the latest MIG planes. But the time for direct confrontation Arab and Israeli is not yet. First, there is the matter of the southern end of the Red Sea, Soviet Egyptian Contriving If this can be pinched off by Soviet Egyptian contriving, the new Israeli port of Eilat on the Gulf of Aqaba, an arm of the Red Sea which laps the eastern By JOHN CH AMBERLAIN shore of the Sinai peninsula, can be ciosed to world shipping.

Anthony Harringan, a profound student of Near Eastern strategy, has reported on the current construction of a 30 inch oil pipeline which will connect lat with the new Israeli port of Ashod of the Mediterran a n. Since the Egyptians already re- fu.se to let Israeli ships through the Suez Canal, the pipel i w'ould enable Israel to get oil traffic which she is now denied. Oil from the Persian Gulf would simply be pumped out of tankers on the Gulf of Aqaba- Red Sea side and flow overland through the Negev tot ships at Mediterranean docks. This would be cheaper for the European customer than sending tankers through the Suez Canal. The squeeze on the hopeful new Israeli port on the Gulf of Aqaba would follow completion of Yemen adventure.

Nasser already has an army of 50,000 Russian equipped soldiers in Yemen, which is on the eastern side of the Red Sea just above the British installations at Aden. And in the so called Horn of Africa, just across the Gulf of Aden, the Somali tribesmen are ijeing armed by the Soviets to stir trouble in Kenya, French aliland, and Ethiopia. Thus the southern jaw of the trap is being set. The northern jaw involves a more complex strategy on the part of the Russians. For, to prepare this, the American Sixth Fleet must be expelled from the xMed- iterranean.

The Soviets have already warned us that we must go. They have been building more nuclear submarines, and they have combined their Black Sea and Baltic Sea navies into one. On the southern coast of the Mediterranean the Algeri a have received seventy five MIG fighter bombers, along with tanks, helicopters, torpedo boats, ground to- air missiles, and radar systems, as part of their from Moscow. Tr 1 in Greece, Cyprus, and Morocco, and the revival of Span i claims to Gibraltar, feed the air of tension in the Mediterranean. The stakes in keeping this artery open are huge, for at any given moment some thirteen hundred mere a vessels are either sailing its waters or anchored in its ports.

Five hundred of these are oil tankers. If the Nasser Moscow Axis succeeds in closing the Red Sea, giant tankers built like the unfortunate Torrey Canyon would carry oil around the Cape of Good Hope. But when a ship as large as the Torrey Canyon is loaded it weighs an unwieldy 118,000 tons. Slow and cumbersome, a Torrey Canyon would be an easy mark for a submarine. The West has the power to counter the ambitions of Nasser and his Moscow allies.

But public opinion should be alerted to the problem posed by the British withdrawal from Aden. And American who love both Russia and Israel must realize the incompatibility of such affections.

Why do we always have to express our inner feelings to those about us.

If a retired locomotive can give the impression of motion at least through the ears, why we convey impressions of activ i and goodwill even through we may not feel particularly like it at the moment. If we can produce the greatest variety of sounds through electronics, why we produce the impression of happiness and goodwill towards those whom we encounter day by day? The greatest and most powerful emotion, of course, is love. It is the emotion that the world desperately needs today. One of my physician friends met me the other day and asked, the matter with people today? They seem feverishly in search of happiness, but they never seem to find it to judge by their words and actions.

They have a wrong sense of values. They seem to think they can find happiness by buying some thing or going somewhere. It be done. Happiness is a by product of loving How right the good doctor is. Happiness never comes by seeking it selfishly.

It only comes in loving and dedicated sharing and service to our fellowman. It is just that simple. In fact, it is so simple that we stumble over it and go on our feverish way. Try an experiment on yourself. As you step out of your door, go through some of the motions of happiness by smiling.

Go a step further and pass on some well deserved appreciation or justified compliment. Don't flatter. In my extensive practice in marriage counseling learn- more from the neglect of courtesy and appreciation than from anything else. Lack of communication and expressed love follow. Soon there is the question of whether love exists anymore.

I invariably tell those who come to me that if they have fallen out of love that they can fall back in love the way they did the first time by expressing and showing love and appreciation.

The Virgin was a rosy jawed, black haired, blue-eyed Irish beauty; the Infant was portrayed as red-haired, freckled and a somewhat belligerent looking.

It was 3:30 a. m. Washington was sound asleep. So the two great leaders slipped out of the White House. Two secret service men made a seat with their hands, and they carried FDR up the long flight of marble steps.

Then they snapped on his leg braces and there, in the dim moonlight, FDR and Churchill stood silently before the brooding figure of the Emancipator.
