Show Pharmaceutical Industry aligned, Hisunderstcod In a publication lamed this week, Empire Trust Company, Newjyork, points out that lack of-understanding of the pharma ceutical Industry's contrlbu-tlons contrlbu-tlons to the national welfare and prevailing antipathetic attitudes In legislative circles Jeopardize Jeopard-ize both the public Interest and the pharmaceutical industry's future. As the bank's Newsletter says, "The U. S. pharmaceutical pharmaceuti-cal Industry has become the subject of attack and rebuttal, re-buttal, claim and counter-. claim, to an extent perhaps unparalleled un-paralleled In the recent history his-tory of any other American industry. in-dustry. As a result, the Industry's In-dustry's magnificent achievements, achieve-ments, its monumental role In the prevention, cure and alleviation allevi-ation of disease, have become obscured In the public mind." The U. S. pharmaceutical industry's in-dustry's problems are complex, the Letter states, and It is essential that they be recognised recog-nised and appreciated not only by legislative and regulatory bodies, but by the public in its own Interest. The Letter also details the Industry's vast Investments In research and the resultant health benefits to the nation and to the free world. "But the pharmaceutical industry in-dustry cannot continue to make -Its, vital contributions to the conquest of such critical problems prob-lems as cancer, heart disease, geriatric ailments and mental - health If It is hobbled by purely political or vindictive regulations. regula-tions. '"The industry today does more for the health and wel-' wel-' fare of mankind than does any other Industry in the world, the Letter states, and cites a spectrum of supporting statistics. sta-tistics. - For tiam pie, twenty-five years ago, Mew York City reported. re-ported. over 12,000 cases of whooping cough with 105 deaths. Last year there were 212 cases deaths, none. In 1935, 70,080 Americans died of tuberculosis; tu-berculosis; In 1963, 9,311. Furthermore, Fur-thermore, In the 25 years between be-tween 1938 and 1960, prescription prescrip-tion drugs saved the lives of to minion working age vic tims of only four killer' diseases dis-eases pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis and syphilis. Referring to so-called tran quilizer' drugs, the bank's Let ter notes that 'today there are 54,000 fewer patients In state and local mental hospitals than there were in 1955, the peak year.". These miracles, the Letter notes, have been achieved at vast cost In time and money. "Out of every 2,500-3,500 compounds com-pounds originally synthesized, only one survives to reach us as a safe effective prescription drug. U. S. drug manufacturers reinvest the equivalent of half their profits after taxes in research and development. Unlike Un-like such industry categories as Aircraft and Missiles, or Electrical Equipment and Communications Com-munications w he re research is for the most part financed by government funds pharmaceutical pharma-ceutical research is underwritten underwrit-ten almost entirely by the Industry In-dustry Itself. Fish & Game Dept. Lists Nov. Arrests Arrest reports now coming into Department of Fish and Game Offices covering the month of November show a sharp upswing In the number of Fish and Game Law violations. Number of arrest reports covering that period now on hand show Department Officers issuing is-suing a total of 595 citations. The majority of these, some 264, were for failure to tag or properly tag game animals. Ninety-nine citations were written for carrying a loaded weapon In a vehicle, 27 for hunting hunt-ing or shooting deer out of sea son and 20 for shooting migratory migra-tory birds after hours. Other arrests during November Novem-ber were for using another person's per-son's license, unplugged shotguns shot-guns and hunting or fishing without with-out a license. During World War the Navy's principal job was to as- Higher Highway Speeds Safer "Higher speed limits on many sections of the Utah's highways have reduced accidents," according ac-cording to C. Taylor Burton, Director of Highways. As a part of a program aimed at establishing es-tablishing realistic and reasonable reason-able speed limits on state high wayahave jecejitlyjeenln4 creased. During 1963, more than 300 miles of highway previously pre-viously zoned at 60 mph at night were rezoned at 70 mph day and night. This mileage Is located lo-cated on seventeen different sections of highway in all regions re-gions of the state. The speed limit on each section was raised on the basis of a traffic and en glneerlng Investigation showing the need for the higher limit. Accidents on the seventeen sections were carefully tabulated tabu-lated and analyzed for a' period of twelve months before the increase in-crease to 70 mph and after the Increase. Traffic volume records re-cords were also carefully kept. During the study period traffic throughout the state and on the special study sections Increased In-creased seventy percent. The statewide accident frequency on the study sections, however, decreased 16 per cent after the speed limit was- raised to 70 mph. Analysis of fatal accidents revealed eight occurring on the study sections in the year before the speed limit was raised as compared with only four fatal accidents during the 12 months after the speed Increase was placed In effect The effect of the 70 .mph speed limit on the study sections sec-tions was to speed up the slow drivers and slow down the fast drivers. This reduces the dif ferences in speeds among ve hicles with the consequent increase in-crease In highway safety. The Highway Department "will continue Its program of determining speed limits on Utah's highways through scien tific engineering study. . The U. S. Naval Academy was established in the fall of 1845.
