WASHINGTON AND
SMTCtL BUSINESS”
By C. 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

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

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.
Because James B. Duke insisted
“a great towering church . . . dom
inate all the surroundi/ig build
ings ...” in the center of the
Duke West Campus today stands
the awe-inspiring Chapel whose
50-bell tower rises above lofty
pines.

Answer to possle No. 667
Henry Kendall College was up
rooted in 1907 and moved to Tulsa.
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.
