Belgium Brants
To The Congo
LEOPOLDVILLE, Republic of
Congo, i/P—Belgium handed over
the rich Congo lo its native lead
ers yesterday with a word of cau
tion and an appeal for friendship.
The new premier responded with
8 stinging attack on Belgian col
onial rule.
Proudly wearing the mauve-red
sash of Belgium's top order of
Leopold presented before the in
dependence ceremonies, Premier
Patric Lumumba uttered harsh
words in t.hc crowded Parliament
chamber.
“Wo have known the ironies
and insults, the blows to which
we had to submit morning, noon
and night because we are ne
groes,” he said.
The tall, goateed nationalist said
the Congolese suffered under Bel
gian law, which he described as
never the same for blacks as for
the whites — “accomodating for
one, cruel and inhuman for the
others.”
Belgium’s young King Bau
douin, respondent in a white uni
form, was greeted by thunderous
applause as he rose to speak. An
artillery battery boomed as he
proclaimed the Congo’s independ
ence, ending 80 years of Belgian
rule over the vast colony in cen
tral Africa.
Khrushchev Gets Coo}
Reception In Austria
VIENNA, Austria, W! — Soviet
Premier Khrushchev arrived in
neutral Austria for a nine - day
state visit Thursday and got a
cool reception. Except for a small
contingent of Communists, the re
sponse was apathetic.
About 6,000 persons were at the
Soviet war memorial as Khrush
chev’s motorcade swept into the
center of the city from the air
port. Most of the crowd just stood
and stared.
Some customers at sidewalk
tables of nearby coffee houses
didn’t bother to look up from
their newspapers as the motor
cade pulled up in front of the Im
perial Hotel.
Khrushchev’s Austrian visit is
expected to be all smiles and talk
of peaceful coexistence.

w SCIENCE IN
(f YOUR LIFE
A Gamble You Always Win
America's free enterprise system has proved to the hilt the old saying
that “competition is the life of trade.” But our modern pharmaceutical
industry has gone much further. It has proved that competition means
W hen an eleetronic6 company comes out with a new invention, you
may gi t a more compact television ♦ -
set with a better picture. But a
scientific discovery that comes out
of a pharmaceutical laboratory may
cure a serious ailment afflicting you
or someone in your family.
Competition is keen in the drug
Industry. Scores of firms each year
pour millions of dollars into scien
tific research. They can’t sit back,
content to produce and market
their tried and true products. They
must constantly try to find im
provements for established drugs
or discover better ones. For if they
don’t, one of their competitors
probably will.
That’s the way free competition
works under our system. You’ve
got to take financial risks to stay
ahead of your business rivals.
That’s especially true in the phar
maceutical field. The drug firms
must keep up a constant search for
better products, for at any moment
a competitor may come up with
a new compound that makes the
wonder drug of yesterday the has
been of today.
This has happened lime after
time. One firm, for example, risked
15,000,000 in a scientific research
program to produce cortisone
through a less expensive method
than other companies used—by
chemical processes instead of ex
tracting the compound from animal
substances. The firm finally was
successful. It looked forward to
a long and profitable return on its
huge gamble. But within a very
short time a competing company
found a way to produce cortisone
at even less cost. The first company
soon saw its market dwindle to a
fraction of vhat it was originally.
The same situation has devel
oped in the field of antibiotics -the
seemingly miraculous drugs which
have knocked much of the deadliness
out of a host of infectious diseases.
> ^ m
The early antibiotics, such as
penicillin and streptomycin,
achieved a great break-through in
the war against disease. But these
drugs were limited in action, hitting
together only about 40 infections.
Doctors needed antibiotics that
could halt the attack of a broad
range of diseases.
Many private pharmaceutical
laboratories entered the expensive
race to develop such a drug. This
costly competition produced just
what the doctor ordered —the
“broad-spectrum” antibiotics, like
Terramycin. These compounds are
highly effective against nearly a
hundred diseases: It is highly effec
tive against many infeciions and
yet it eliminates or sharply reduces
harmful side effects.
This kind of keen competition
will continue in our pharmaceutical
industry. Some companies will win
and others will lose in the vast
research gamble. But the American
public is a sure winner. For, re
member, when private research de
velops the next wonder drug, the
life it saves may be your own.

Eisenhower Vetoes
Federal Pay Bill
WASHINGTON. I/P— President
Eisenhower Thursday vetoed a
bill to raise the pay of 1V£ mil
lion federal employes by "'2 per
cent. He called the measure “in
defensible by any light.”
However, Eisenhower left the
door open for a smaller hike —
what he termed “a modest in
crease reasonably commensurate
with the percentage rise” in the
cost of living since the last gen
eral pay increase.
His statement that he would be
willing to approve a smaller pay
hike, in new legislation, appeared
to be a move to rally votes to sus
tain his veto.
Besides granting approximately
7Vi> per cent raises to Civil Ser
vice employes, Postal workers and
congressional employes, the ve
toed bill would have made per
manent a 21-12 per cent temporary
salary hike granted to Postal field
service employes two years ago.
That increase now is scheduled
to expire in January.
Eisenhower urged the Demo
cratic controlled Congress to en
act new legislation to make that
increase permanent.

5 Underground Explosions
Ilock Uptown Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Ohio, — Five
underground explosions beneath
Public Square shook downtown
Cleveland Wednesday night. The
blasts cut off electric power to
nearby buildings, flipped manhole
covers into the air and smashed
several plate glass windows.
The only injury was to a man
who suffered minor cuts from fly
ing glass.
The explosions were triggered
when gas and air — heated by
smoldering insulation covering
high-power underground cables—
came in direct contact with cool
air from the street.
Thick black smoke poured from
a dozen manholes and flames
spouted 15 high from one of them.
Police said it was fortunate the
blasts came an hour after the
height of the going-home rush.
