Senators Appear
Resigned to More
Civil Rights Debate
WASHINGTON, (0) — Both
supporters and opponents agreed
in advance yesterday that the Seri
ate would not order a limit now
on its civil rights debate.
With a two-thirds majority of
those present and voting required
to halt the unlimited talk, Demo
cratic Leader Lyndon Johnson
told newsmen:
“Not much is going to be de
cided today.”
Sen. Jacob Javits (R-NY>, one
of those pressing for an end of
debate, agreed that a bipartisan
group of Republicans and Demo
crats would lose.
“But this is a necessary prelim
inary,” Javits insisted.
Johnson said he and Sen. Ever
ett Dirksen (R-Ill), the minority
leader, and “other men of good
will,” were still trying to find
an effective civil rights bill on
which 67 senators could agree.
That number would permit the
Senate to end debate and vote.
“I think the Senate will in the
next few weeks vote for an ef
fective bill,” Johnson added.
He indicated that this would be
chiefly a bill assuring all citi
zens of the right to vote and have
the vote counted.
Alaska Legislature Sends
Condolences to Widow
Of Senator Neuberger
JUNEAU, DPI — The Alaska
Legislature acted quickly Wednes
day to express sympathy on the
death of Sen. Richard L. Neuber
ger.
Messages of condolence from
each House were sent to the sen
ator’s widow in Oregon, on be
half of the people of Alaska.
Both messages paid special tri
bute to Neuberger for the Oregon
senator’s assistance in the cause
of Statehood for Alaska.

Russians Found in Mid
Pacific Are Much Happier
After Breakfast, Haircuts
HONOLULU, M — Four Rus
sians, long-haired when rescued
after drifting 49 days in the Pa
cific, and almost starving to death,
are sporting American-style crew
cuts today — and happy smiles.
The U. S. aircraft carrier Kear
sarge picked up the famished men
Sunday from their 50-foot land
ing craft which had drifted 1,000
stormy miles into the Pacifc from
Etorofu-to Island in the Kuriles.
They had only some vodka,
their canteens, three cans of beef
and a loaf of bread during their
ordeal, plus what rain water they
could gather. They ate shoe leath
er in their hunger, they said. Each
lost from 35 to 40 pounds.
After a breakfast of pancakes
and milk Wednesday, one of the
Russians, Pvt. Anatolie Feodoro
vich Kruchkowski, 20, demon
strated how much weight he had
lost. He had to shorten his uni
form belt eight inches to fit.
The Russian government has
been notified of the rescue.
The Kearsarge is carrying them
to San Francisco, and is expected
to reach there about March 15.
Liquor Regulations Up for
Alaska House Action
JUNEAU, Ufl — Floor action is
expected Saturday or Monday on
a proposal calling for new pro
cedures to regulate liquor sales in
Alaska under an expanded State
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
Chairman Charles Fagerstrom
of the House Commerce and La
bor Committee said Wednesday
his group hopes to recommend
adoption of a substitute bill. The
measure would replace one intro
duced earlier at the request of
the Alaska Licensed Beverage
Association.
Fagerstrom said the committee
hopes to reach a compromise on
the controversial question of uni
form hours, opposed by the deal
ers’ association but adopted by the
present State Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board.
The task of drafting the sub
stitute bill was given to Reo.
William Erwin, who sponsored the
orignal bill although he said he
didn’t agree with some of its
provisions.
Bill Ray of Juneau, industry
member of the ABC, recommended
to the committee that three
classes of beverage dispensary li
censes be established, with dif
ferent operating hours for each
classification.
BALL CLUB TYCOON DIES
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Ml—
Arnold Johnson, hard-driving busi
ness tycoon who moved the Ath •
letics baseball club from Philadel
phia to Kansas City and made it
a financial success, died yesterday.
The 53-year-old club president
suffered a cerebral hemorrhage
while driving Wednesday after
watching an intrasquad game at
the Athletics’ spring training
camp.
Neuberger Widow
May Succeed Her
Husband to Senate
PORTLAND, Ore., Of) — Demo
crats had hopes today that Sen.
Richard Neuberger’s widow would
succeed him in the Senate.
Mrs. Neuberger said she would
accept an appointment to com
plete her husband’s unexpired
term. She said she was undecided
whether to seek a full six-year
term.
But two leading Democrats said
they had talked with Mrs. Neu
berger and were confident she
would seek the Democratic sena
torial nomination in the May pri
mary. The deadline for filing is
5 p.m. today.
Neuberger, 57, died early this
week, a few hours after suffering
a cerebral hemorrhage.
The executive board of the
Oregon Democratic Central Com
mittee voted unanimously Wed
nesday night to ask Republican
Governor Mark Hatfield to ap
point Mrs. Neuberger to serve out
the senator’s term. Hatfield had
no comment.
Under Oregon law the Gover
nor must appoint a Democrat to
succeed Neuberger.
Mrs. Neuberger once served
in the Oregon House.
Five Children Dug Up
Alive in Moroccan Town
Demolished by Earthquake
RABAT, Morocco, Wi — Rescue
workers yesterday pulled five
weak and dazed children from
the rubble of Agadir, which was
virtually destroyed by an earth
quake 10 days ago.
The Moroccan state radio car
ried the report that the children
were found in wreckage of the
Moroccan quarter, which was 90
per cent destroyed.
The rescue brought to 10 the
number of survivors pulled out in
the last three days — after almost
all hope had been given up of
finding anyone left alive.
The children ranged from 6
to 15 years old. One was a Mos
lem and four were Jewish
children.
Up to 12,000 persons are esti
mated to have died in the quake
Of these, two are Americans. They
are Mrs. Werner Bauer, of Pla
centia, Calif., whose body was
pulled from the family’s apart
ment, and her daughter, Norene,
who died Wednesday at the U. S.
Navy Hospital at Port Lyautey.
Five Americans are listed as
missing, and two of them are
known to have registered at the

Priceless Prescriptions
Just a few years ago, a vicious killer roved the country. It was a disease
called bacterial endocarditis, a deadly infection of the heart lining.
Doctors had no way to fight this dread enemy. Its victims were doomed.
Many persons still fall prey to this disease. But today their chances
for recovery are excellent. For doctors have a potent weapon available
jur liiniieuiaie counier-anacK
against this foe, It is penicillin
one of the first of the modern
wonder drugs.
In the early 1940's, penicillin was
produced in limited amounts by
costly laboratory procedures. It
was very expensive for patients,
even in terms of today’s inflated
dollar. But those who needed it
would have been willing to pay any
price if it had been available.
The American pharmaceutical
industry, however, was working to
bring down the cost. And fortu
nately for all of us, the highly com
petitive pharmaceutical companies
did. By the early 1950’s they devel
oped laboratory techniques and
mass-production methods that
brought the cost of a tablet of
penicillin down to less than the
price of a candy bar.
An equally dramatic develop
ment took place in the treatment of
diabetes. A generation ago a victim
of this disease faced a two-to-one
chance of an early death in a diabetic
coma. How eagerly he would have
paid any price fora drug like insulin.
Insulin, too, at first could be
made only in comparatively small
batches and at high cost. Today,
the pharmaceutical laboratories
have learned how to turn out ad
vanced forms of insulin compounds
in quantities sufficient to meet the
needs of all who require the drug.
And the price has been slashed to
less than six per cent of what it
was in the 1930’s.
A diabetic now can often live
out his normal expectancy by the
protection of a daily insulin dosage
which costs little more than half
the price of a package of cigarettes*
By using a considerable per
centage of their earnings to expand
research work, pharmaceutical
companies not only make older
drugs cheaper, they continue to
develop new and better drugs.
Here, again, the diabetes sufferer is
a good case in point.
Recently, many diabetics have
been able to discard the hypo
dermic needle that must be used
to administer insulin. Compounds
have been developed that can be
taken orally. New oral drugs, for
example, free many diabetics from
the hypodermic shots. A tablet can
be taken by mouth and will control
some types of diabetes for the
entire 24-hour period.
» There is no way to measure the
value of a life-saving medicine. For
who would put a price-tag on life?
But we can measure the cost of
drugs that have added years of life
for millions of Americans. And the
figures are reassuring.
A recent survey showed Amer
icans spend an average of nearly
$53 a year for alcoholic beverages,
more than $36 for tobacco products
and only about $18 for prescrip
tions. Contrasting our outlay on
drinks against drugs, we seem to
be getting a good bargain at the
prescription counter.
