Charge Monopoly of Vitamin D nolntedt Press
Washington, Oct. 31. Assistant Attorney General Wendel Berge linked control of anti rickets vitamin D to a group of monopolistic chemical pharmaceutical and food companies. He said the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation acts as a screen and earned over 8.5 million dollars in royalties up to 1940 by licensing processes for using artificial ultraviolet rays to activate vitamin carrying products. Berge said the foundation has no formal connection to the University of Wisconsin, which has no control over its policies.
