About 100 people attended a hearing on Laetrile with roughly equal numbers backing and opposing legalization. Webb described personal Laetrile treatments in Oklahoma and Mexico, while Dr. Donald C. Young warned the drug has no proven cancer value and potential harm. Others cited freedom of choice, Mayo Clinic testing results, and FDA restrictions on Laetrile imports and interstate sale.
Des Moines reports Iowa Congressman Charles Grassley says he will not run against Senator Dick Clark this year but does not rule out a 1980 bid against Senator John Culver.
