THALIDOMIDE PROBE
Kennedy Asks Strong
------------------------ --------.............«* «r>~ ' i..................... f * ••
Washington, Aug. 1
(AP) — Food and drug
official Dr. Frances Kel-
sey says she was alerted
by chance to the potential
danger of the drug Thali-
domide, blamed for thousands
of infant' deformities. Dr. Kel-
sey testified before a Senate
subcommittee along with FDA
Commissioner George Larrick
Some senators at today’s hear-,
ing called for machinery to im-
prove international exchange
qf drug information.
Senator Hubert Humphrey
of Minnesota had earlier blam-
ed poor international informa-
tion exchange for the fact that
Thalidomide reached about
1,200 American doctors. Lar-
rick testified, however, that no
deformed infants have official-
ly associated with testing pro-
g r a m s sponsored by U. S.
firms.
Dr. Kelsey, telling of how
she was warned against' the
drug, says she chanced to read
a letter to the editor of a
British medical journal.

Mercury Climbs
To High Mark
Tempe ratures in Sulphur
Springs climbed to a 97 de-
gree reading Tuesday, tying
for the hottest day of the year
thus" far. More of the same
was on the way today with the
mere .ry standing at 93 de-
grees at noon.
This morning’s low was 74.
The possibility of scattered
thundershowers continues to
b.e fisted in the five-day fore-
cast for Northeast Texas.
Otherwise, mid to upper-90
degree readings are forecast
to continue for the remainder
of the week.
Two moisture patterns exist
over Texas today. Some areas
in the northern portion of the
state have just experienced
the wettest July on record.
And in Bprger, about nine
inches of rain have been meas-
ured in the past 48 hours.
But a series of grass fires
in the Austin area is pointing
out the need for rain in the
southern portion of the state.
Austin did not report a single
drop of rain in the entire
month of July.

Satellite Bill
Filibuster Ends
Washington, Aug. 1 W—The
Senate filibuster over the ad-
ministration’s communications
satellite bill has ended. The
measure has been sent to the
Foreign Relations Committee,
atong With a directive that the
committee report back to the
Senate by Aug. 10. Senate
Democratic Leader Mike Mans-
field said he hopes the com-
mittee will a c t sooner than
that.
There is nothing in the agree-
ment to prevent a new filibuster
then. However, opponents of
the ^measure won a point by
having the bill referred to the
Foreign Relations Committee.
They contended that the for-
eign policy aspects of the meas-
ure should be studied.
Two Sabin polio vaccine,
clinics will be operated here
Sunday afternoon in an effort
to reach the largest number of
people possible in the public
immunization program being
conducted by Hopkins County
physicians.

liquid with a little water add-
ed. Individual paper cups will
be used.

The clinics will be repeated
Sunday, Aug. 12, for those who
cannot participate in the first
round. Immunization against
Type III and Type II polio
strains will follow at six weeks’

Power Struggle
Grips Algeria
Algiers, Aug. 1 ITPt— Deputy
Premier Mohammed Boudaif
has returned to Algiers to join
other quarrelling leaders of Al-
geria in peace talks. Boudaif
was released by guerrilla troops
who held him in eastern Algeria
for 24 hours. He is one of dis-
sident Deputy Premier Ahmed
Ben Bella’s bittersweet enemies
and had been arrested by pro-
Ben Bella troops while visiting
his—Boudaif’s—home town.
The power struggle that has
virtually paralyzed Algeria has
pitted Ben Bella against Bou-
daif and still another deputy
premier, Belkacem Krim. Pre-
mier Ben Youssef Ben Khedda
has moved toward a ifeutral
position in the dispute, appeal-
ing to both sides to end their
split. Krim and Boudaif sp-
port Ben Khedda against Ben
Bella.

Strike Threat
Appears Headed
Dallas, Aug. 1 OP — Action
by a federal mediator, Ted
Morrow, appears, to have head-
ed off a possible mid-August
strike at Ling-Temco-Vought
Incorporated.
Morrow asked both sides at
Dallas to accept jurisdiction
of the aerospace board in their
dispute. The union accepted
at once and the company is
expected to follow suit.
Any strike by the United
Auto Workers group would be
delayed 60 days if Morrow’s
proposal is followed.
Job Improvement
Figures Revealed
Patience Asked
In Latin*America
Patience in waiting for re-
lations between the United
States and Latin American
countries to improve was ad-
vised here Wednesday by a
former Sulphur Springs citi-
zen now teaching at the Union
Seminary in San Juan, Puerto
.Rico.
“We’re going to have to
wait until Latin America is no
longer just extremely rich or
extremely poor,” declared Dr.
Gene Brice to the Kiwanis
Club. “When an effective mid-
dle class develops there, then
wc can get together and help
them lift themselves up.”
Right now, the speaker said,
Latin Americans have an an-
tagonistic attitude toward the
United States.
“They damn us if we do
and damn us if we don’t,” said
Dr., Brice. “Basically, it’s the
old, ugly feeling of the have
nots for the haves. For ex-
ample, the people of Latin
about America. They think
about the manager of the
United Fruit Company, who
was working them in almost
slave labor.”
Latin Americans also share
a jealousy towards this coun-
try. Dr. Brice compared this
with the low feeling he had
of Highland Park when the
Dallas suburb continually beat
Sulphur Springs in football
during the 1940’s.
“Regardless of what was
said in the last "election, the
United States is still the
strongest and- richest country
in the world,” he said.
Another factor Dr. Brice be-
lieves inhibits better relations
between these two areas is the
bad administration of U. S.
foreign uid to Latin American
lands,
“In Peru,” he illustrated,
“three per cent of the people
own 90 p<*r cent of the land.
As a result, the common peo-

Washington, Aug. 1 Ml —|
The Labor Department reports [ At aaa f|t* |,
these job statistics for July: jlpIjfcUU 1 J16II
Unemployment declined by
445.000 to 4,018,000.
Employment increased by
25.000 to 69,564,000.
The rate of unemployment
declined to five and three-
tenths per cent of the labor
force. This was the lowest idle
rate in more than two years.
Labor Secretary Goldberg
called the figures encouraging
and said it is always welcome
news when unemployment de-
clines.
The job improvement may
take some of'the steam out of
the drive for an immediate tax
cut, since the employment pic-
ture is one of the factors in-
volved in any such decision.
Suit Over Land
Docketed Here
A Hunt County resident, C.
A. Priest, has filed suit in dis-
trict court against Dick Castle-
berry, Sr., of Smith County
over legal ownership,of a seg-
ment of land about 12 miles
southeast of Sulphur Springs.
G. C. Harris of Greenville,
attorney for Priest, said in pa-
pers filed with District Clerk
Vaiton GJosup that his client
is entitled to $1,000 in rent
and $4,000 in damages be-
cause of Castleberry’s entry
onto Priest's land.
Harris alleged that on June
6, 1956, Priest sold Merlin
Stickleber one-half undivided
interest in all mineral rights on
the land.
“Thereafter,” the attorney
continued; ‘^Stickleher and oth-
ers -undertook to convey to the
defendanUthe above mentioned
property in its entirety, includ-
ing all mineral rights.” '

Reported; Boy
Faces Charges
An 18-year-old Amarillo boy
is being sought by Hopkins
County officers on a charge of
felony theft in connection with
the theft Sunday of $1,200
from a Cumby woman.
The youth reportedly bought
a car in Greenville with $650
of the money, wrecked the car,
and then sold the scraps for
$125.
A warrant of arrest has been
issued and the case has been
placed on the justice examining
trial docket.
Washington, A u g. 1
(AP) —- President Ken-
nedy called today for
stronger legislation to per-
mit immediate removal* of
dangerous drugs from the
market. He made his plea with
reference to the tranquilizer
Thalidomide, which has been
blamed for births of thousands
of deformed babies in Europe.
Kennedy made his plea in a
statement-opening his new con-
ference. Some of the tranquil-
izer wag distributed in this
country for-testing and some
forms of it brought into this
country from abroad by indi-
viduals.
The President said every
woman should check her medi-
cine cabinet to make sure there
is on Thalidomide there.
He spoke of what he termed
“the terrible human tragedy”
that was visited orr families in
Germany, where the drug was
; most widely used.
Requeit* Change
j On another subject, the Pres-
ident appealed to Rusisa to re-
verse its opposition to inter-
national inspection under a nu-
clear test ban treaty.
Kennedy said the United
States has found no jurisdic-
tion for the Soviet claim that
an effective test ban can be
established w i t hout interna-
tional inspection.
He recalled that Rusisa had
once agreed to international in-
spection within its boundaries
and. he urged a return to that
position. He said if Russia
would return^to its earlier pos-
ition, the United States would
be prepared to negotiate on the
amount of inspection required
- for safeguarding a treaty.
The President announced that
Ambassador Arthur Dean, US
negotiator at the 17-natioii dis-
armament conference in Ge-
neva, will be going back to
Geneva promptly and will be
ready to negotiate.
Dean has had conferences
this week in Washington with
the President and Secretary of
State R^sk.
Back Negroes
The President said it is
“wholly inexplicable” to him
why the city council of Albany,
G$., will not sit down with “cit-
izens of Albany” and try to
solve racial issues in the south
Georgia city.
Albany is a focal point of a
Negro drive to break down ra-
cial barriers, and hundreds of
Negroes have been arrested afB
er demonstrations. Negro lead-
ers have been demanding nego-
tiations with the city officials.
Kennedy backed up the
Negro demands for parleys,
saying the United States is wil-
ling to sit down in Geneva to
try to settle great internation-
al issues with Russia and oth-
er countries, and the leaders
of the Albany government
ought to be willing to sit down
with Negroes demanding fuller
rights.
The President termed the sit-
uation in Albany “wholly unsat-
isfactory”. He said Attorney
General Robert Kennedy has
been in constant touch with the
situation, and he himself has
been receiving frequent reports
from his brother.
The idea, he said, is to pro-
tect the civil rights of people.
Building Permits
Continue Climb
Building permit valuations
for July in Sulphur Springs
reached the highest mark since
January as construction in the
city continues to move along
ahead of the 1961 pace.
The estimated value of proj-
ects approved in the 22 per-
mits issued by Building Inspec-
tor Bob Vaughn for July is
$90,915. The January total was
higher, due mainly to the per-
mit for the construction of the
new H. D. Lee plant here,
j Only March of this year
neared the July total, with val-
ues set at $90,700 then.
The July figure in 1961 was
$83,390 and in 1960 it was a
meager $19,560. Last month’s
total was $70,415.
Permits^ included one new'
service station and eight new
homes. That brought the total
the year.
Total valuations for building
starts in the seven months in
Sulphur Springs is $1,211,133,
The 12-roonth total in 1967 was
only $1,094,006.
Permits issued during July:
