Jan. 31, 1968 PRESS, Binghamton, 1 One Pike Handicap Deaths Digitalis Diet Pill Peril Cited Is Senator javits By LEE HICKLIXG Press Bureau Washington Otis Pike, a fourth-term house member from Suffolk County, made a light- hearted announcement yesterday of his candidacy for CAT AND MOUSE GAME Being a pet mouse named Clyde in the Larry Quinlan home in Salem, has one major drawback a pet cat nomed Peppi. Fortunately things have worked out well since Clyde saves his hide by spending most of his time in a cage. Payments Controls Required: Banker Washington OP) President Johnson's emergency balance of payments program "cannot be successful unless accompanied by prompt and believable fiscal and monetary measures," a New York banker said Washington (UPI) Oregon's chief medical investigator said today that diet pills containing the drug digitalis can cause fatal heart attacks in normal persons even when taken in prescribed amounts. Dr.

Russell C. Henry of the Oregon Board of Health said in testimony for a Senate subcommittee investigating the diet pill industry that digitalis was "a powerful poison and has no place in the treatment of obesity." Several physicians specializ ing in weight control have told the Senate antitrust and monopoly subcommittee that they regularly prescribe digitalis to overweight patients in combination with other drugs. HENRY SAID there was "compelling evidence" that var ious ingredients in reducing pills can sap the body of potassium, a vital ingredient which controls the heart beat. "This potassium deficit sensitizes the heart muscle to the action of digitalis," he said. "Thus, in effect, these people are being poisoned by digitalis even though their actual intake of digitalis, while often high, is not within the usually fatal range." Death usually occurs, he said, bv "cardiac standstill or ven tricular fibrillation the heart muscle goes into a pur poseless 'squirming' instead of an effective coordinated contraction." Henry said he had identified "at least six, with possibly two or three more" deaths in Ore gon during a four-year investi gation of "Rainbow" reducing pills, so-called because several pills of different colors are given to a patient to be taken at different times.

HE SAID digitalis "is a very valuable and often lives a i drug" when administered to a patient with a diseased heart. Dr. Edward St. Mary, chair man of the Dade County, Medical Association's Commit tee on Quackery, told the sub committee the use of drugs "particularly the thyroid, digi talis and thiazide types," should be avoided as a means to induce weight loss in patients. "The use, especially in combination, may cause serious disturbances- in the body which, among several things, may lead to alterations in cardiac function to the extent of causing illness and even death," he said.

DARRELL HOLLAND, county coroner in Effingham, 111., cited several cases of deaths attributable to weight control pills, including that of a 12-year-old girl stomach was found to contain thyroid steroids and aspirin during an autopsy. coroner in this incident was advised of this death as the casket was being wheeled down the church aisle for funeral services," Holland said. "He later ordered a full examma tion. Prelaw Student Sues University, State on Ticket Tampa, Fla. Harold Hooks, a 22-year-old prelaw student at the University of South Florida, has sued the university and the State Board of Regents for $100,000 each because he was ticketed on campus for illegal parking.

Hooks claimed the university had the right to set traffic regulations and tag offenders, but said the school's constitution gave the right to fine to the nearest municipality.

the United States Senate Pike unabashedly reeled off his handicaps in the race: He hasn't a dime in his campaign fund, he has no statewide power base, his support consists large ly of his family and his county chairman, and his prospective Republican opponent, Senator Jacob K. Javits, is a very pop ular man. He refused even to make the regulation statement that he is in the nomination race to stay The only other announced can didate, Representative Joseph Y. Resnick, Ellenville) has said he will make a state nrimarv fieht for the nomina tion if he doesn't get the nod of a majority of the state commit teemen at their meeting in April. PIKE SAID Resnick's stand is "what is expected of all politicians at this stage of the game," but he is not going to echo it.

"It depends on how many votes I get (in the state committee)," he said. He passed out a statement fill ing two pages that included: An apparent reference to Resnick: "I have nothing against millionaires. (But) I feel very strongly that a democracy is sick when access to high of fice is limited to the fabulously wealthy, so I'm going to try to prove that it isn't." A statement of his fiscal conservatism (Pike refuses the label and says he's a "moder "It might just be useful to the residents of the State of New York to have someone sitting in the Senate to whom the problem of getting up the money to pay for all the programs on which we vote was a real problem." A lengthy attack on Javits as a liberal and a big. spender: "The record fails to disclose any project or program on which he declined to pour money, and he usually invited them back for seconds his votes have consistently been those which raise taxes or de ficits, which increase inflation which show an acute perception of the rights of the accused and a massive indifference to the rights of society." PIKE SAID his director of research for the campaign is named Doris O. Pike (his wife).

his treasurer is Douglas A. Pike (his 18-year-old son, a Princeton freshman), his pub licity director in charge of fake spontaneous demonstra tions" is Lois A. Pike (his daughter, a Radcliffe soph omore, 20 next month), and his advance man is Robert D. Pike (his youngest son, a 14-year-old high school freshman). "If this sounds like a light-hearted approach, it is," Pike said.

"We have always taken our campaigns lightly and our job seriously. We believe this is a better approach than the converse." A 47-year-old former marine flying officer, Pike lost his first bid for the House seat from Suffolk County in 1958 by 40,000 votes. In 1960 he won by 2,400 votes, and has been relected three times by growing margins, the last 43,000 votes. Suffolk Republicans have an enrollment majority, but the party has been split and hurt by recurrent scandals. REACTION ON Capitol Hill to Pike's candidacy generally took one of two forms.

Both Re publicans and Democrats said they consider Javits unbeatable. But several added a warning not to count Pike out too early, using an identical phrase: "He's a hell of a campaigner." Fike opponent for tne nomination, Resnick, issued a statement detailing Pike's voting record, including votes against open housing, model cities, rent supplements, Appalachian development and withholding school aid from states that do not comply with federal antidiscrimination rules. "He's in the wrong party," Resnick said, "with his voting record he ought to be running for the Republican nomination." Contract Given For Testing Of Para-Foil Washington (UPI) The Navy finally is going to take a look at the Para-Foil, the parachute that looks like an air mattress, flies like a glider and according to its boosters, can save countless lives in Vietnam. Representative Richard S. Schweiker who has been plugging the device since last August, announced today that the University of Notre Dame had been awarded a contract to test and evaluate the Para-Foil at the Navy's par-, aehute-testing facility in El Cen-i tro, Cal.

But if the country becomes aware that the economy has reached a critical point, said Moore, we will, as in the past, iget grassroot support necessary for effective action." Suspended Priest, Nun Marry Ossining (UPI) A Mary- knoll missionary priest who was suspended by his order for dis obedience stemming from charges he interfered in the internal affairs of Guatemala has married the nun who was ordered out of the country with him, according to Mary knoll of ficials. The two were identified as the Rev. Thomas R. Melville, 37, and Sister Marian Peter, 38, a Maryknoll nun who was born in Mexico of American parents.

Father Melville, and his brother, the Rev. Arthur Mel ville, 34, were suspended by the Maryknoll order recently be cause of their refusal to return to the order's headquarters in Ossming and explain their activ ities in The two Roman Catholic priests and the nun had been accused of aiding leftist groups in Guatemala. The Rev. John M. Breen, the order's superior in Guatemala, said yesterday he had received letters from Father Melville and Sister Marian reporting their marriage.

The two priests and the nun left Guatemala several weeks ago, presumably heading for New York. However, they left their plane in Miami and went to Mexico. A spokesman for the order in Ossining said the "Marriage means Father Melville is auto matically excommunicated." "His excommunication super sedes his suspension and declares him persona non grata," he said. The spokesman also said the marriage was invalid in the eyes of the church because Father Melville is a priest. The nun also is automatically excommunicated, an official said.

-Associated Press WIREPHOTO. OTIS G. PIKE Travel Tax Package Takes Shape Washington (UPI) Presi dent Johnson will ask Congress to enact a series of tax steps to discourage overseas travel by Americans, including one based on daily spending abroad, sources said today. The plan part of the adminis tration's fight to curb the bal ance of payments loss is ex pected to be offered the House Ways and means Committee on Monday. Sources indicated that a daily spending ceiling of possibly $10 will be recommended.

A tax would be levied on those U. S. travelers who spend more than that. It was not immediately learned how much of a tax would be sought. THE TOURIST tax package, sources said, is still in the planning stage.

Tentatively it includes, in addition to the spending levy, extending the present 5 per cent tax on domestic airline tickets to overseas flights. These sources said the spending tax surcharge under consideration probably would be a tax for people spending more than the daily limit. The sources also said that there may be a maximum ceiling proposed on tourist spending. If Congress goes along with the plans under consideration, Americans probably would be asked to report their spending to customs officials at ports of entry. ALSO PART of the package under consideration is a proposal to lower the present $100 maximum in merchandise that an American may bring home duty free.

Americans now may also mail home $10 worth of gifts without paying a duty. This plan is targeted for elimination although sources said that servicemen probably will be allowed to continue the mail-home privilege. In a New Year's statement, Mrs. Johnson ordered sharp reductions in U. S.

investments abroad and asked all Americans to restrict their vacation travel to the Western Hemisphere in an effort to reduce the huge U. S. balance of payments deficit. Scottish Gale Glasgow, Scotland Gales that swept northern Britain a fortnight ago cost Scotland trees, representing about 10 months' normal production of timber in State Forestry Commission preserves and private woodlands, officials estimated this week. the job as usual.

The CTU had sought a later date for the election, which was of heat for closing the schools. The 100-member operating en gineers union, which heats the schools, refused to cross CTU picket lines.

Free Thruwav Urged Washington Motorists would be able to ride the New York State Thruway toll-free un der bills introduced yesterday in the United States House and Senate.

The proposals call for the gov ernment to reimburse 18 states, including New York, for costs they incurred in constructing highways, bridges and tunnels subsequently included in the interstate highway sys tem. Representative Richard D. McCarthy N. principal sponsor of the House bill. said the legislation reopens a decade long controversy over reimbursements for road facili ties built before Congress directed the government to pay tor 90 per cent of the inter state construction cost.

The states now pay the re maining 10 per cent of the cost. McCarthy said the action was taken after the Public Work Committee, of which he is a member, last week approved an $81,000,000 plan to enable West Virginia to acquire the state's privately owned two-lane turnpike and thus lift its tolls. This action," the Bulfalo res ident said, "opens the way for action to tree other toll facili ties." The Transportation Depart ment, McCarthy said, has taken the position that there can be no reimbursement for toll roads until after the interstate system is completed in the mid 1970s. McCarthy added that he did not quarrell with that approach, but said it that is to be the case, now is tne time to start the required legislative process. Among the major toll units in the interstate system are the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway in New I Jersey.

Little Lyn Finds Curiosity Leads To a Hot Time Washington (UPI) Presi dent Johnson's grandson Patrick Lyndon Nugent has discovered at an early age that Texas-style chili is hot in more ways than one. The Chief Executive men tioned during a picture-taking session at the White House yesterday that little Lyn "got his hand in a bowl of chili and got burned." The youngster is the son of his daughter, Luci, and her husband Pat Nugent and lives in Austin, Tex. The White House later ex plained that Lyn burned his fingers slightly last Saturday when he dipped them into a bowl of steaming chili. He was to a doctor and is "fine now." Mafia Blocked In Land Grab Palermo, Sicily (UPI) The government today cracked down on Mafia efforts to buy the land of earthquake refugees at one- third value and coerce reluctant owners to sell. Authorities yesterday arrested two shepherds allowing their cows to graze in an oat field, a typical Mafia technique to ruin the crop and force the own er to sell.

today George S. Moore, chairman of First National City Bank, said "an increase in taxes, reduc tion in govennment spending and a slowdown the creation of money by the Federal Reserve System" is needed to counteract an "illusion that it will do the job by itself." Moore's remarks were pre pared for the sixth annual Association Public Affairs Confer ence of the U. S. Chamber of commerce. WHILE CONDEMNING con trols as a "backward step" that usually has a "reverse effect long-range," Moore said emer gency action "was probably necessary in view of the lateness of the hour and the magnitude of the problem." Moore, a member of the Com merce Department's Balance of Payments Advisory Committee and its successor group, the Advisory Committee on Foreign Direct Investment, said that the voluntary balance of payments control program, by the end of 1967, had produced as much as could be expected of it.

Therefore, he added, the com mittee agreed that a mandatory control program was prefer able to any effort to further tighten the voluntary program. "If the program turns out to be temporary, as promised, American business can live with it for as long as a year," said Moore, "without irrevocably hurting the trade and finance mechanism." "THIS MEANS that all of us in business and banking must be as resourceful as possible in maintaining our country's export surplus and the productivity of U. S. foreign investments in spite of the obstacles the program puts in our path," he said. Despite the fact the U.
