Patients Died In Drug Tests PHILADELPHIA (UPI) A U.S. Food and Drag Adminstration report charging that 13 elderly patients at a nursing home here died in 1964 and 1965 as a result of drug experiments was never shown to law enforcement officials, the Philadelphia Bulletin reported Sunday. The Bulletin said the FDA report was kept secret until thu Bulletin asked to see it last month under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.

The paper quoted the FDA report as saying that 10 patients died during the experiments and three others died later of causes related to the experiments. The FDA probe claimed that during the research, a drug was used to induce nervous system disorders in the patients at the Colonial Nursing Home to test the effectiveness of another drug in controlling the disorders, the Bulletin said. The drugs involved were Ha Idol, a widely-used tranquil izer, and Nacton, which is used to block nervous system impulses. The FDA report stated that Dr. Sheldon Bender, a staff physician at Colonial Gardens and an associate professor of medicine at Hahnemann Hospital here, performed the experiments on behalf of the McNeil Laboratories the paper said.

The Bulletin said Dr. Bender and McNeil Laboratories contended the deaths were not caused by the experiments. Turnpike Starts Its Snow Alert HARRISBURG The 24- hour, seven-days-a-week snow alert, which can become a massive battle force on a moment's notice, is now in effect on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The snow battle plan is activated when the word goes out that snow is beginning to become a factor that coul.d interfere with the movement of traffic on the nation's pioneer super-highway. One of the biggest snow- shoveling jobs in the nation begins as snowplows and scrapers roll out of the maintenance sheds scattered across the 470-mile length of the pike.

The turnpike's western snow belt Is between Bedford and Donegal, a distance of 38 miles. Within this area, the major part of the snow that hits the turnpike annually is measured Biggest Problems "There is no question," says Turnpike Commission chairman EgidioCerilli, "that snow gives the Pennsylvania Turnpike its biggest problems. However, we have an obligation to keep the road open." Every department of the turnpike becomes directly or indirectly involved in the war against the snow, but the heavy emphasis is placed on the work of the people in the maintenance department, in communications, the state police, safety, authorized service and the personnel in the turnpike plazas, both service stations and restaurants. The Pennsylvania Turnpike WEIK On WALL STREET By Thomas W. Weik Registered Representative Commission has suggested certain common-sense practices and precautions that will be helpful during a snowstorm on the turnpike: 1.

Be sure your car is properly equipped with winter tires and that cold weather precautions have been taken with your car's engine. Regular radial tires are not effective substitutes for snow tires, or for winter radials. 2. Stay within the posted speed limit. 3.

Listen to your car radio. As much information as possible will be passed along to commercial broadcast stations in order to keep patrons posted on conditions. 4. Try not to let your gas tank get below the halfway mark. 5.

Stay in your own lane abd do not pass snowplows. 6. Where conditions warrant, try to get to a service area. 7. Heed instructions and signals from police officers.

Create Hazard Motorists who abandon their cars in traffic lanes during a snowstorm create a serious hazard that could cause accidents and they slow the snow- clearing job. The job of removing the car is then left to the police and Authorized Service. Patrons are urged to stay with their cars. The Turnpike Commission asks all who use the pike motorists and truck drivers to be patient during a snowstorm and to follow the rules of common sense. You remember IRA.

A recent subject of Weik on Wall Street columns, IRA is a newcomer this year. And you should not wait any longer to become familiar with IRA if you are employed or self- employed and not actively participating in a qualified retirement plan, because IRA can help you invest for retirement and save tax dollars now. That IRA has become quite a popular fellow. As it turns out, IRA can also be valuable in transferring accrued benefits from another qualified retirement plan should your employment be terminated for any reason. This is possible through the establishment of an IRA rollover account.

This rollover Condition Is Improved The condition of Robert A. Bashore 17, Mt. Zion, has improved from critical to satisfactory although he remains in the intensive care unit of the Hershey Medical Center. Bashore was injured Thursday evening when the car he was driving collided head-on with another car on the Mt. Zion to Lebanon road about a mile and a half south of Mt.

Zion. He suffered a fractured collarbone and left leg and fractures of the bones of the face and jaw. Expect Eclipse Will Be Visible Cig Central Pennsylvanians are in for a rare astronomical treat tomorrow evening. There will be a total eclipse of the moon. Right now, according to the National Weather Service, we will have a good chance to see it, as conditions tomorrow evening are supposed to be clear.

It is scheduled to start at 5:03 p.m. The eclipse will be total, which means that the moon, Concerned About Tax Hike HARRISBURG (UPI) The head of the state Revenue Department's Bureau of Cigarette and Beverage Taxes is concerned over the proposed nickel increase in the state cigarette tax. Paul Landau, a former Allegheny County deputy sheriff, said today if the legislature enacts the five cent per pack increase, some of the money should go for increased law enforcement. "If they raise the tax, they better be prepared to give me some of that money to increase our enforcement effort," Landau said. "A five-cent increase would mean that Pennsylvania would be the target state for cigarette smuggling in the country." Landau said the state already loses between $25 to $30 million in tax revenue each year because of bootleg operations, and the figure could increase if the price of cigarettes goes up.

Landau said it is hard to stop smuggling, mostly from North Carolina which has only a two cent per pack tax, because of long southern border of Pennsylvania. He noted that North Carolina, where most of the smuggled cigarettes are from, is less than a day's drive away. The legislature is considering increasing the tax to pay for an additional $50 million in revenue needed for flood relief and Bicentennial projects. The Pennsylvania Association of Tobacco and Candy Distributors has also mounted a campaign against the tax increase, contending the proposed legislation would drive more consumers to bootleg cigarette operations run by organized crime. which will bo full tomorrow, will disappear a bit at a time, until it is gone completely.

It will than slowly reappear. The whole phase will take 41 minutes. In a lunar eclipse, the earth is situated between the sun and the moon, blocking the sunlight that is normally reflected from the moon, which we see as "moonlight." The dry, pleasant autumn weather of the weekend will continue into the first part of the week. A high pressure area anchored over the southeastern United States is causing this fair spell. Sunny and pleasant is the outlook for Tuesday, with highs reaching from the upper 50's to the lower 60's.

It will be dear and chilly tonight, with lows in the upper 30's to low 40's. The chance of precipitation is ne.ar zero tonight and Tuesday. Extended Forecast The extended forecast calls for sunny and mild Wednesday, a chance of rain Thursday and clearing and cooler Friday. Lows Wednesday and Thursday will be in the 40's. Highs those two days will be in the mid 50's to 60's.

Highs Friday will be in the 40's, while lows will range in the 30's. Statistics for the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. today are: High Low Ave. (normal) Sunset tonight Sunrise tomorrow High, Nov. 16,1974 Low, Nov.

1974 49 29 44 4:49 p.m. 48 28 provision thus provides portability of pension and profit- sharing benefits. Normally, a lump sum distribution from a retirement plan would subject you to an immediate tax liability. However, if you act within 60 days of receipt, you can place the distribution into the IRA rollover account and eliminate the liability for the tax. Any Amount Any amount from another retirement plan can be rolled over except for voluntary contributions.

That is, corporate contributions, earnings on corporate contributions, and earnings from any voluntary contributions can be rolled over in one lump sum. Voluntary contributions themselves must be distributed to you, but will not result in any taxation. An IRA rollover could be valuable to you upon retirement. You might take your vested benefits in a lump sum and roll them over to an IRA. Your money then remains invested and you have no resulting tax bill to face.

You will recall that IRA permits you to defer taxes until distributions are made. And you can delay distributions so long as they are begun before age 70Vfe. IRA rollovers can be useful in other ways, too. Let's say you leave your present company (Company A) where, having participated in the proft-sharing plan, you have vested benefits of $10,000. Within 60 days, you roll over this sum into an IRA and it remains sheltered from all taxes.

If you later join another firm (Company B) and become eligible for a qualified pension plan, you would now have an option. With permission of Company you might roll over the IRA into their pension plan, or you could simply join the new plan while retaining your friend, IRA. Separate IRA If you should become self- employed after leaving Company you could set up a separate IRA and make contributions to it under the 15 per cent, up to $1,500 rule. You could not make contributions to the rollover IRA as self- contributions cannot be commingled with corporate assets. If you should join a Company after the self-employment, you might transfer the rollover IRA to their corporate plan, but your own IRA contributions would not qualify for this rollover portability.

There is a limitation to all this rolling around. Tax- sheltered rollovers are allowed only once every three years. If you roll over a lump sum from a corporate plan to an IRA, you will need to wait two more years before rolling over again into a new corporate plan. Oh, yes, who is IRA? IRA is short for the Individual Re- Virement Account, which was created by the Pension Reform Bill of 1974 and became effective Jan. 1,1975.
