new cars, electric power, iron and steel, cemeiit, and sulfuric acid. Consumer prices In general vould be increased about one per cent by the air pollution measures, wiih middle income groups feeling the greatest impact, it said. The agency is preparing a separate report on the economic impact of controls on water pollution, solid waste, noise and aesthetic blight. By 1977, EPA said, industry would be spending some $12 billion a year on air pollution alone, hut the reductions in pollution would yield benefits worth more than $14 billion a year to society. The estimates appeared in a report to Congress on The, Eeconomics of Clean Air, re-j quired annually by, the Clean Air Amendments of 1970.

EPA pointed out the wide discrepancy between this year's estimates and those in lasti year's-annual report.

The' possible damaging effects of the drug were reported in Sydney, Australia, by Dr.

William McBride, who discovered the devastating effects of thalidomide in 1970. lie scribed the antidepressant as potentially more severe than thalidomide. John T. Walden, spokesman for the FDA, said the drug is manufactured and sold in the United States by Geigy Pharmaceuticals Division of the Corp. Its trade name is tofranil, he said, and industry sales reports indicate that 3.6 million prescriptions were sold last year at an estimated retail value of $12.4 million.

W'alden said the FDA has asked Australian health authorities to provide more information on McBride's claims, and a' spokesman for the manufacturer said McBrides report must be taken with the greatest seriousness and concern. McBride said the drug is produced by seven companies-and marketed under 30 brand; names throughout the world. In Australia, it is marketed under the name of imipramine. McBride said imipramine also is marketed under the names of censtin, melipramine, imiprin, iramil and prodepress. We have found three cases In Sydney of children born ithout arms in which it can be proved definitely that the mothers had taken imipramine in early pregnancy, the gynecologist said.

Like thalidomide, which also causes birth defects, the drug affects the patient's nervous system, he said. They destroy the nerve cells that supply limbs, McBride said. Once you destroy these, the limbs will not develop. The drug is prescribed for women suffering from fits of crying, fatigue, sleeplessness and headaches. The spokesman for the American manufacturer of the drug said its package contains a detailed warning about the risk of its use In pregnant patients, nursing mothers or women of child-bearing Federation Rules On Chess Match ASHLAND Art's Appl.
