Law Ties Refills to Physician Authorization for Dangerous Drugs
Washington reports a new law requiring physician authorization before refilling prescriptions for dangerous drugs. The FDA says it clarifies which drugs may be sold directly and which require a prescription, aiming to curb misuse of barbiturates benzedrine and dexedrine, sulfa drugs, antibiotics, thyroid meds, and sex hormones.

U S Soviet Tensions Rise In Washington Warnings
Secretary of the Army Frank Pace and Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer warned at the Sawyer advisory council session that U S Soviet relations are worsening and domestic economy strains will deepen.

He noted bankers and manufacturers show more confidence in meeting munition goals and that absolute prohibitions are unlikely though some civilian luxuries could be limited to 15 percent of pre Korean output.
