This testimony was prepared
for a House Government Opera-

Kline, director of research for the
New York State Department of
Mental Hygiene.
The testimony opened an inves-
tigation of what Subcommittee
Chairman Blatnik D-Minn. said
was concern by some physicians

that drug houses have resorted to
unscientific and deceptive sales
promotion to ballyhoo their prod-
uct.
Blatnik said the new tranquiliz-
ing drugs are included in almost
a third of all medical prescrip-
tions written today. He put their
total sales at 300 million dollars a
year.
Both Dr. Ayd and Dr. Kline
said that tranquilizers do not
cause addiction, and that side re-
Boy Crippled;
Mom Is Jailed
LEBANON, Mo. m—A 24-year-
old mother was sentenced to two
years in prison yesterday after
pleading guilty to beating her 3%-
year-old son so severely he is un-
able to walk.
The child, David Lee Blackburn,
was brought to a hospital here 20
days ago near death from inju-
"fies and malnutrition. The moth-
er, Velie Davis; and the boy's fa-
-ther, Bert Blackburn, 26, were
charged with child mistreatment,
adultery and gross lewdness.
At the time of their arrest, each
parent accused the other of mis-
treating the child. Their trials
were set for Feb. 12. Miss Davis
decided yesterday to plead guilty
and was sentenced to prison im-
mediately by Circuit Court Judge
Claude Curtis on the mistreat-
ment charge. The other charges
against her were dismissed
Blackburn still is scheduled for
trial.
David Lee, still hospitalized, is
reported improved but unable to
walk Miss Davis' two other chil-
dren. Gene Gage, 5%, and Cath-
erine Blackburn, 19 months, have
been placed in foster homes.
tended most of the members
wanted a "whitewash" of the
probe. He said his investigation
involved intervention in agency
affairs by Sherman Adams, chief
White House aide, and other top
administration officials.
But Harris said Schwartz “has
had an improper attitude. He has
shown lack of cooperation with the
committee . . . and has made
some very serious charges against
the committee.”

Many of them come for the first

all over the world. Many come
again and again.
Men. stand before the massive,
seated figure of Lincoln, then im-
pulsively uncover their heads.
They turn to the south wall and
scan the immortal Gettysburg Ad-
dress. They read on the north wall
Lincoln's second inaugural ad-
dress, with closing words so ap-
plicable to the present: ”... Let
us strive on ... to do all which
may achieve and cherish a just
and lasting peace among our-
selves and with all nations."

A smiling little Japanese-Amer-
ican first-grader from California
knew that Lincoln was the 16th
president. He had been begging
his mother to bring him to the
memorial, ever since they came
here two weeks ago.
Softly she read him the inscrip-
tion above the statue: “In this
temple as in the hearts of the
people for whom he saved the
Union, the memory of Abraham
Lincoln is enshrined forever.”
WASHINGTON (P) - Two ex
perts in the field of psychiatric
medicine cast a vote of confidence
today for tranquilizing drugs and
the pharmaceutical houses which
make and market them.
The psychiatrists told House
investigators that although occa-
sional abuses and honest mistakes
occur, these do not warrant
charges of misleading and distort-
ed advertising against the great
majority of drug firms.
Tranquilizers are not the "hap-
py pills" some people think them
to be, the doctors said, but "very

"Properly administered, these
drugs are safe," Dr. Ayd testi-
fied. "The risk of addiction or
habituation from prolonged use of
tranquilizers is practically non-
existent."
। At the same time he said even
“the most sanguine physician

for what might be termed normal
anxiety.”
On the score of advertising. Dr.
Ayd said most drug firms "cher-
ish and seek the medical profes-
sion's confidence and respect.”
He conceded that some firms
may violate good taste and ethi-
cal standards, but added: “For-
tunately, physicians are percep-
tive individuals who, by their
training and experience, view all
drug advertising with a critical
eye. . . . While a few of the so-

vertised unwisely, the majority of
manufacturers have exercised ad

their promotion." — —...

Premier Agrees To
Meet Critics Headon '
In Assembly Debate
PARIS (—Premier Felix Gail-
lard agreed to immediate parlia-
mentary debate today on the
French bombing of a Tunisian
frontier village.
The bombing on Saturday set
off a diplomatic crisis for France
which threatened relations with
• Tunisia and sparked worldwide
criticism of French policy.
Tunisia said 48 persons were
killed, 10 were missing and 84
wounded in the raid.
Tension mounted in Tunisia,
where French troops have been
confined to their bases by order
of President Habib Bourguiba who

was determined that French
troops must be evacuated from
his country.
The French National Assembly
was packed and the diplomatic
galleries full as Gaillard strode to
the rostrum and announced he
would meet his critics head on.
The Assembly suspended for an
hour to allow the orators to or-
ganize their debates.
DISTURBED
The premier has been deeply
disturbed by the unfavorable for-
eign reaction—particularly in the
United States and among France's
Western allies.
He has been in almost continual
meetings with his ministers, dep-
uties in the assembly, diplomats
and others'. He has conferred with
U. S. Ambassador Amory Hough-
ton.
.In Tunis, Western sources were
openly worried at the turn of
events there; Five French consul-
ates were ordered closed.
The French charge d'affaires in
Tunis went to the Tunisian For-
eign Ministry this morning to ask
if the French troops in the coun-
try could transport food between
their bases. The Tunisians told
him, in effect, "Let them eat in
France."
Cabinet ministers leaving a
2T"70
planes was an "unauthorized ac-
tion” by military leaders in Al-
geria who failed to dear it with
the government in Paris.
RIGHTISTS
Rightist military men and right-
wing politicians in France have
long favored a tough policy
against both Algerian rebels and
their sources of arms and other
support. The rebels have shown
renewed strength lately, some
French say because of aid re-
ceived through Tunisia.
The French claim the attack
was directed against Algerian
rebels hiding in Tunisia and fir-
ing at French planes from across
the border.
Rightists tended to support the
attack as justified to protect
French soldiers in Algeria. But
many independents and leftists in
Parliament severely criticized the
raid.
Fpr the first time in their his-
tory, NTSC and TWU, along with
16 other state-supported colleges
and universities, will be guided by
definite formulas in making their
biannual requests for state funds.
That's the biggest result of the
Denton meeting Monday of the
Texas Commission on Higher Edu-
cation.
And as a result of the commis-
sion’s tentative approval of the
formulas, the change could result
in an overall average of a 15 per
cent increase in thj amount of
money available for all 18 state
schools beginning in 1959. The re-
sult, of course, depends upon the
Legislature.
COMPLICATED
The formulas tentatively approv-
ed here Monday are set up on a
complicated basis, figuring, in
many cases, the number of stu-
dents -taking a certain number of
semester credit hours. In many
cases, the formulas are of a slid-
ing scale variety, based not only
on the number of students involv-
ed but also by what the students
are taught. For instance, the for-
mula for teachers* salaries has 18
versions on the undergraduate lev-
el, determined by what is taught.
A course which requires expensive
laboratories, for instance, would
be allowed more money than a
pure lecture class:
OTHER FORMULAS
The other formulas set up by
the commission are for general col-
lege administration, libraries,
custodial services and building
maintenance.
Provided no changes are made
in the formulas before actual re-
quests for money are made to the
Legislature, it will mean an over-
all increase for all 18 state schools
of about 20 per cent in administra-
tion allocations, 18 per cent the

As shivering West Texas
began preparing for another
onslaught of cold weather to-
day, Denton area residents
got the weather word to do
the same.
The forecast issued at 10 a.m.
today predicted continued cloudy
skies, more intermittent light rains
or light freezing rains that may
or may not change to snow, and
a minimum temperature tonight
of between 26 and 38 degrees.
What’s more, weathermen said,
there's no warm weather in sight.
A frigid drizzle Monday kept the
entire area damp and dreary near-
ly all day, but as for moisture,
only a trace was recored at the
Experiment Station. Downtown
Denton received very little more,
measuring only .02 of an inch.
SNOW
At about 1 p.m. the drizzle turn-
ed to snow, but the white flakes
melted as they touched the ground.
The only places the flakes stayed
for any length of time were on
the north sides of trees and on
leaves of shrubs. After the snow
stopped about 3 p.m., another
drizzle later in the day removed
all traces of the flakes.
Monday’s maximum temperature
was 39 degrees, the lowest maxi-
mum since Dec. H's 35-degree
temperature. This morning's low
was 26 degrees, marking this win-
ter’s 35th freezing mercury read-
ings—one more than the area had
counted at this time last winter..
OVER STATE
Over the state, snow and freez-
ing rain piled on top of old ice in
West Texas, the Associated Press
reported. The storm this morn-
ing was giving the area some of
its bitterest weather of the win-
ter.
The belt of freezing rain extend-
ed at dawn from San Angelo to
Amarillo and from Hobbs, N.M.,
to west of Wichita Falls. Eastward
ice and sleet stayed on the ground
in sub-freezing weather.
Roads, hazardous over most of
the north half of Texas, became
more dangerous as snow, sleet
and freezing rain continued.
