His investigators find that the
largest of the vacmine produs
crs. Kit Lilly and Company, pre-
sumably set the price on bid-
ding. From October. 1955 to
February. 1956, Lilly bid $7.13
for 9 cc’s. All Ihe other c o m-
cine producers hid $7.12.
From February. 1956 until
June 30. 1956, Lilly bid $6.34
for 9 cc’s. All the ohtcr com-
panies hid one cent lower—nam-
ely $6.33. For the June 30. 1956.
to June. 1957, period all f i v e
companies bid $5.70 for 9 cc’s.
The other four companies
are Wyeth Laboratories. Sharp
and Dohme. Pitman and Moore,
and Parke-Davis.
The Fountain Committee will
charge that these five companies
got together to set high prices
for vaccine, because they knew
the terrific public demand and
because they also knew that the
government had appropriated
ample moneyl'oO yn,v
Basil O’Connor, chairman of
The Polio F&dHdiUort—has in-
formed me that he borrowed $9.-
000.000 to advafUeyto the dfiig
companies to get tfytm to manu-
facture the Salk'vaccine in large
quantities. O’Connpkiaid he was
sure from advan&jMk>erimen1s
that the Salk vac<^jpf/Wfls sound,
and he wanted n»r’£bildr«n of
the nation to gal 11 Just as soon
as possible.
Prior to this, the drug com-
panies had not boepi willing to
take a chanPe'Ibn' mass produc-
tion Dr. Jona& Salk, bad patient,
ly proposition^ I<*tm Of t he
top drug compaftft.4-A-But all ex-
cept Parke-Davis in Detroit
turned him down. They weren’t
ready to invest any money in
advance—wanted to be sure
they had a hard-and-fast propo-
sition.
It was after this that Basil O’-
conor borrowed $9,000,000 and
advanced l( to( tjjq drug Com-
panies. However, out of the first
amount they produced—the first
500.000 cc’s did not go to The
Polio Foundation* which 4<Un6)*
ced the money—but was ship-
ped to the drug companies’ reg-
ular commercial distributors.
Since then The Ell Lilly Com-
pany of Indianapolis has almost
trebled its profits. It an-
nounced that last year's profits
jumped from $6,800,000 to $16,-
600.000.
FRIGHTENED INSURANCE
MEN
Some businessmen are glut-
tons for punishment. They also
don't realize that they won’t
have clean government unleaa
they help to keep it clean.
To Illustrate, the blble of tha
insurance industry—the "tyt*
tlotnsl Underwriter.** has just
made an amazing confession.
Ten Years Ago
Dr. T. L. Terry, son of Hie lale
Dr. anil Mrs J S Terry of Knnis,
opthalmic surgeon at t he Mas-
sachusetts Eye and Ear Infir-
mary. died in Boston.
Miss Bernice Ricks returned
from a visit with Mr. and Mrs.
0. K Edmondson in Quanah
Joseph C. Gilpin, son of pio-
neer residents Mr. and Mrs J
M. Gilpin, retired as assistant
passenger traffic manager for
the Southern Pacific Lines in
Chicago.
Twcney-Five-Years Ago
The St. Louis fast-DIftpatch un-
earthed the fact that Governor
Stratton of Illinois permitted a
system w hereby the law firm of
his Insurance Commission col-
lected exorbitant fees from out-
of-state insurance companies.
Following this, the “National
Underwriter’’ Confessed that in-
surance men had known this
for a long lime but were afraid
to do anything about it.
Ordinarily it costs less than
$100 fof an insurance company
to register in any state of the 48
states to do business. But in Illi-
nois it costs around $5.000—all
because of# so-called “legal
fees" paid lo.the brother of
George Barreft—the man Gov-
ernor Stratton appointed Com-
missioner of Illinois. Commis-
sioner Barrett’s brother had
raised a large amount of money
for Stratton's campaign expen-
ses so the insurance companies
—in brief—had to pay it back.
Governor Stratton is the man
on whom President Eisenhower
focused nation-wide attention
when—in his tplocaKt from Pe-
oria—he praised Stratton as a
“man who cleans up fast." He
referred to the $1,000,090 theft
by Stratton's slate Auditor, Or-
ville Hodge, and Hodge's impris-
onment.
According to the “National
underwriter," however, neither
Governor Stratton nor the in-
surance men tried to clean up a
scandal which was a matter of
common knowledge.
"Insurance men throughout
the country have been appalled
by the situation in Illinois," ad-
mits the “National Underwrit-
er." "but they have kept their
opinions UJ t^cipselves. It was
felt novg<mfl'wmild be done the
cause ef staU regulation to air
Mrs Lillian Bcllah and chil-
dren. Bobbie, and Hallic. ar-
rived from Los Angeles for a
visit with Mr. and Mrs. Robert
W. Hcsscr.

the dirty linen from llUbois. ..
While insurance people for
these and other reasons -would
not initiate publicity concerning
the Illinois departmetil. we arc
sure thoy welcome it now that
it has been developed by an out-
side source. Many insurance men
have said in private that they
would like nothing better t^an
to see some comments abbut^fr.
Barrett and Mr. McCarthy out In
the open.
“There is practically nothing
in the Post • Dispatch articles
that isn't known to nearly every
insurance man in Illinois and
many more across the country. It
has been a sort of open secret.
The companies decided7to play
out the string and hope for the
best. The bureau people wre re-
luctant to bring the case out in
the open. .. "
MERRY-GO-ROUND
Senator Kefauver has cut
down on his smoking. Now puffs
six cigarettes a day. Ile’used to
he a chain smoker... The Leag-
ue of United Latin American Ci-
tizens representing Spanish-
American citizens in this coun-
try has passed the word to its
members to vote qgainst Vice
President Nixon. They don’t like
his record on civil rights...
Prime Minister Nehru has
agreed to visit the White House
in December for his long-delay-
ed conference with President
Eisenhower. If Eisenhower is
defeated in the election—Nehru
will spend more lime talking
with Stevenson than with Ike. If
the Democrats win—IM will try
to persuade them to send Ches-
ter Bowles, ex-governdf of Con-
necticut—back as ambassador to
India.
