Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - July 21, 1961, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news partly Cloudy Val. 83, no. 170mt. Pleasant Iowa Friday evening j Fly 21, 1961 these Days by George e. Sokolsky tilt drug Industry it is difficult quite to understand what senator Kefauver is getting at in his investigation of the drug Industry. If it is prices that he seeks to regulate then wily not regulate All prices of All goods. If he objects to labels and Trade names he makes a mistake because sensible folks not Only demand original labels when they buy a Medicine but get to know it by name of the bottle. The Day when the doctor scrawls in latin so that no one can read what he says not even the pharmacist is Over we want to know what is it that goes into us also there is the advantage of not taking the wrong Medicine the killer instead of the healer. Senator Kefauver in a previous invest i Gat Ion gave the impression that he was bringing the underworld to the surface it was exciting to watch Frank costello testify before a television camera when that investigation was All Over. The underworld was still in business As potent As Ever pushing heroin As actively As possible organized vice continued to com Pete with private immoral personal graft in Public office became increasingly scientific. Precisely what senator Kefauver accomplished by his crime investigation is not Clear he dropped the whole business now since december 1959. He has Laten going after the legitimate Dru int Ess he Doc not claim that any of these companies Are in aged in illegal practices no one is Quot it to prison As a result of this investigation nothing is being done to Stop manufacturers from spending millions of dollars for re search it is therefore difficult to discover precisely what the senator seek to accomplish.
