WILSON HARDER The action of the Justice Dept, in securing a Grand Jury in dictment against three big U.S. combines on charges of mon opolizing and price fixing prac tices on the three mojor “won der drugs” could well become a milestone in anti-tru_t en forcement. * * * It is mani festly not proper, not air, to at tempt to pre dict what the verdict of a court will be in a case like this. Trial by newspaper is not in the c. W. Harder American tradition, * * * But regardless of what ver dict is finally given, it is quite an encouraging note that not only has the Justice Dept, taken this action of inquiry, but that Sen. Estes Kefauver has for some time been inves tigating the drug situation, as well as the Federal Trade Commission. * * * There can be no question but what America has the best medical care system in the world. In addition, people have free choice of doctors, free choice of pharmacists, with no bureaucratic control. * * * Yet periodically, there crops up in public life those who would change this system for some fuzzy plan in which the government would become heavily involved. The excuse always is that medical costs are too high. * * * There is perhaps some just- fication that at times medical costs are expensive. But the unanswered question is “what, icl National Federation of Independent Business makes them high?” * * * The most important people in medicine are the American doctors and druggists. And while there are perhaps some exceptions, taken by and large, there is no segment of the na tion on the average, that gives more service per dollar shared than they do. And there are very few doctors or druggists who can, or do, work on a forty hour week, even though from an income tax standpoint many would be better off if they did knock off after forty hours. * * * In a major siege of illness, the doctor’s fee is usually the smallest part of the cost the patient pays, yet there are al- w’ays some politicians and bur eaucrats who would have the public believe thej T can get more failhful and cheaper med ical care through some gran diose governmental scheme. * * * Thus, the pending case against the three drug firms could go a long way toward establishing where responsib ility lies for high medical costs. ic ic "k This pending case has some very interesting aspects. It has always been the hue and cry that the modern drug costs so much because of the research costs in developing them. * * * Yet of the three firms charged by the Justice Dept, one is engaged primarily in in dustrial chemicals, one of the others is chiefly known as a proprietory drug house, yet they not only have apparently bought up control of these won der drugs, but old line pharma ceutical houses, and druggists, are forced to buy from them. * * * Thus, this case could become a most vital one to all Ameri cans. From The Valley Farmer, Bay City, Michigan: The hometown | newspaper—like the rising and setting of the sun—is a vital part of our evex-yday living. A letter to the editor of the Grundy, Iowa, Register, brings this point home. It said: “You were here over 50 years ago and you will find in the files of your paper a report of my birth. Your paper also had stories when I played football in school, when I graduated and later when I got married. You have reported many anniversaries in our fam ily, the birth of our four chil dren, their activities in school hnd elsewhere. And in late years you have reported the arrival of our grandchildren. Why, you and your paper have written and printed a life history of our fam ily. And why shouldn’t we look upon you and your paper as a member of our family?” Yes, the local newspaper is the recorder of the life of a com munity—business, personal, po litical and national. Being a con- ! stant subscriber is a good habit to acquire because the local pa- j per isn’t self-perpetuating as is j the sun. It needs your support 1 even as the community needs its service. * * * From the Okaloosa News-Jour- nal, Crestview, Florida: Man has long prided himself on being the only animal with the power to reason. All other animals have been looked upon as inferior—the so- called “dumb animals.” It 'will probably come as a shock to learn the familiar por poise (actually the bottle-nose dolphin) has a brain 40 percent larger than man’s, and just as complex in its cells or functional units. This has just been proven as the result of five years of re search by the Communications Research Institute in the Virgin Islands. If brain size and complexity are indications of intelligence— and scientists suspect they are— then man’s position at the top of his kingdom must be questioned. Carrying the thought a little i further, we haven’t heard any ru- j mors of the porpoise developing j a weapon with which they might j destroy themselves and all other i living things BANK NOTES by Malcolm NEWPORT PEACH, CALIFORNIA BANKERS ARRIVE FOR MORTGAGE BURNING PARTIES WITH A GIFT OF ROSE BUSHES FOR THE MORTGAGE-FREE HOME. ONE OF THE FIRST ATTEMPTS AT NATIONA*. COINAGE WAS THE MINTING OF A COPPER COIN IN 1787 WHICH BORE THE PHRASE/"MIND VOUR BUSINESS/'" i i i i Dy THOMAS COLLINS Retirement at 62 Will Bring Various Changes / HATEVER your station in life—banker lawyer or ship ping clerk—you had better take a closer look at the new Social Security proposition that will allow a man to retire at age 62- and get reduced benefits. This is not the same thing as the law passed earlier by Con gress that allowed women to get benefits at age 62. It’s more pro found than that; partly because men are not like women; mainly because men have different kinds of jobs to retire from. Following here is a summary of what may happen to the Amer ican way of life because of this proposition: 1. Once a man can start col lecting his Social Security benefits at 62, even though at a reduced size, the business practice of kiss ing off the 60-plus man will start dying away. Otherwise he’ll quit. Women had the lesser jobs. They weren’t being kissed off. Two weeks notice was about all that was needed to hire a cutie who would tend the counter or type. But men must be “decom pressed” from their more impor tant jobs, and the aggressive youngsters must keep their hope So the man who will have to go anyway at 65 often starts getting the “furnace-room” treatment at 61 or -so and there’s nothing he has been able to do about it until now. Where could he go? He can now go to the Social Security office. 2. The reduced benefits a man can get at 62 aren’t enough. But they would be if more company pension plans provided a uniform increase in pension benefits through the years, instead of of fering stamp money for the first 30 years of pension participation, and then paying like mad tor the last three years before age 65. There is likely to be renewed agitation for pension reform. 3 The normal, happy man of 62—if nobody is trying to discount him at the company—will never read the new Social Security pro position. And he wishes it would go away. He doesn’t want to retire at 62, 65 or 70—or ever . . . and “let's don’t talk about it.” 4. A man at 62, so far as his wife is concerned, can be a partic ular sort of nuisance at 62 that he couldn’t be at 65. Wives are going to have a far greater say on the matter of their husbands’ retire ment at 62 than husbands ever had on this proposition for their wives. 5. Most wives, if they are under 62, won’t waat their husbands to retire at 62 . . “What, for heav en’s sake, will you do?” Most wives who are 62 or over, and who also would already be eligi ble for Social Security on their own, may encourage their hus bands to quit. 6. Men in vast numbers “break” between 62 and 65. Old age sets in with wrinkles. The hunch comes to the shoulders. The arteries begin to complain. Because of the mysteries of medicine no man ever knows at 62 whether he’s been tabbed or not. The worriers will suspect they have. They will be inclined to turn in their chips and quit the game For a copy of the new Golden Vears booklet by Thomas Collins, send 35 cents In coin (no stamps) to Dept. "N’WNS, Box lf>72.

XSN'T THAT YELLOW ■ / l • •' I • V ( / •WC Duke University Largest of North Carolina’s private institutions of higher learning, Duke University, located on the western edge of Durham, is now only 37 years old. Its roots, however, extend back for more than 100 years through a series of predecessors to Brown’s School House in 1838. In that year a small group of Methodists and Quakers got to gether to reorganize the local one- room school. This school was successively known as Union In stitute Academy, Union Institute and Trinity College. Support of this educational insti tution by the Duke family began quite early, and it was largely through the efforts of Washington Duke that Trinity was moved in 1892 from Randolph County to Dur ham. His gift of $85,000 for that move was the first of many contri butions by himself and his two sons, Benjamin N. and James B. Duke. From the post-Civil War years until the early 1920’s, the Duke family rose from poverty to the ranks of the world's richest fam ilies with the building of the Amer ican tobacco industry. It was this fortune that made possible Duke University. In 1924, James B. Duke signed the Indenture establishing the Duke Endowment. This action gave directly to Trinity College $6,000,000 for land and buildings, provided the name was changed to Duke University and also pro vided funds for a $40 million trust. At his death, less than a year later, he bequeathed directly $17,- 000,000 more to Duke University, and 10 pet- cent of his residuary estate, making Duke one of the most richly provided-for educa tional institutions in America at the time.

In 1920, the name was changed to the University of Tulsa ana a year later the State of Oklahoma granted the University’s charter. TU continued as a synod college until 1929 when control was turned over to a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees made up of men from the community. The University continues an organic relationship with the United Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. The discovery of oil in the Texas-Oklahoma area led to the growth and revolution in the way of life at TU. Tulsa became the center of the petroleum industry and as Tulsa grew, so did TU. Buildings were added—each a gift of an oil man. Progress was stopped by World War I, in which almost every male on campus in cluding the president of the Uni versity enlisted and served. In 1926 a building campaign was begun, with four new buildings being added as a result. Then came the depression. Everyone expected the University to close down, but the men of Tulsa wouldn’t allow it. They named Clarence I. Pontius president in 1935 and helped him keep the Uni versity open. Expansion again accelerated after World War II with the addi tion of seven new buildings. In 1955, Pan American Petroleum gave TU a gift of land, build ings and equipment valued at $1,060,000. Dr. Pontius retired in 1958, announcing addition of a new ad ministrative building, chapel, and liberal arts classroom. A fourth building, the Alexander Heath Center, was completed in early 1960. The University of Tulsa h.is a full time enrollment of 2600 and a part-time enrollment of 1500 students. A number of degrees are offered by the University’s seven schools—Liberal Arts, Music, Pe troleum Sciences and Engineer ing, Business, Graduate, Law and Evening Division.
