WASHINGTON T The U. S.
government. still trucking down
remaining stores of thalidomide,
ha. revealed six women died after
using another drug—a birth con
trol pill known as Enovid.
As yet, the Food and Drug Ad
ministration said Friday, there is
no evidence the tablets caused the
deaths. But both the manufacturer,
O.D. Searle V Co. of Chicago, and
the FDA have the drug under an
“intensive investigation." the agen
cy said.
The immediate cause of all the
deaths apparently was thrombo
plebitis, blood clots accompanied
by irritation of the veins.
In addition to the six deaths
there have been 20 non-fatal cases
of thromboplebitis among womer
who have taken Enovid, the FDA
reported.
The C. S. statement was issued
after British medical authorities
issued a warning against the use
of the contraconceptive pill.
As did the American officials
the British stressed that evidence
linking the pill to the illnesses anc
deaths is at present circumstantial
The Enovid development came
on the heels of an outcry over the
sedative, Thalidomide, blamed foi
the malformation of thousands o:
infants in Europe.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
MEET IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE '.E— Democratic lead
ers from 13 western states opened
a two-day conference here today
with the announced goal of win
nine more congressional seats in
the west.
John M. Bailey, national chair
man, told the delegates:
"The President needs more votes
i to get his programs enacted by the
| congress.
"Nowhere is the opportunity
greater than in the west.”
Bailey sounded tire same note
of optimism at a news conference
| yesterday and said he thought £
i quick tax cut would strengthei
| Democratic chances in the Novem
her elections.
The keynote at a pre-confer
ence banquet last night was sound
eel by Sen. Wayne Morse, Oregoi
Republican-turned-Democrat w h <
urged “a return to the liberalisn
I of Franklin Roosevelt and Harr;
i Truman.”
■; “We have never yet beat Repub
licans by being more conservativ
I and we never will,” he said.
.; Morse devoted part of his speed
to a continuing attack against th
, i administration’s communication
:! satellite bill, which he terms
. j “gigantic giveaway.”
•; But he made it clear he con
! sidered this a “family disagree
ment” which had no effect on hi
j support of Kennedy’s over-all poli
. cies.

U.N. PUTTING SQUEEZE
ON TSHOMBE’S REGIME
ELIZABETHVIULE, Katanga UP
— The United Nations closed the
Elizabethville airport Sunday to
all traffic except U.N. aircraft.
A U.N. spokesman said the air
port was closed at the request of
the central Congo government,
which had asked that all aircraft
be required to have its permission
to land at any airport in Katanga
province except Albertville. Al
bertville is under control of the
Congolese army.
Members of Katanga President
j Moise Tshombe’s government
| viewed the closing of the airport
j as the first move in a program
i of economic pressure to end the
i secession of Katanga from the cen
I tral government’s control.
| They said if the central govern
ment persisted in such blockades,
it would mean an end to unity
negotiations between Tshombe’s
regime and the government of
Congo Premier Cyrille Adoula.
The United States, Britain and
Belgium were reported last week
end to have worked out a program
of diplomatic and economic pres
sure on Tshombe to bring him to
agreeemnt with Adoula.

Kitchens Obsolete
A new study by Youngstown
Kitchens has revealed that seven
out of every ten American fam
ilies are dissatisfied with their
kitchens. For over twenty million
U. S. kitchens are 40 years old or
older. Yet this room, it was dis
covered, is the
pivotal center
of the home —■
where Mother
spends half of
her at-home
time!
^ This looked
like a dismal
affairs until it wa3
learned that there is a decided
upswing in kitchen dining: 4 out
of 5 families take breakfast in
the kitchen; three-quarters,
lunch; and some 00%, supper.
The apparent contradiction, cre
ated by the large number of
obsolete kitchens, stems from
the fact that kitchen designers
and manufacturers are aware of
these conditions and have al
ready gone far to remedy them.
On the list of welcome inno
vations already in many homes
across the land are easy-to-clean,
eye-level ovens of durable, por
celainized metal ... spray sink
attachments...easily maintained
cabinet ware...vent hoods, dish
washers and waste disposers ...
work chairs at comfortable
heights... and “island counters,”
one unit serving as a combina
tion “look-through” range, table,
work area and room divider.
Twenty million homemakers
need improved kitchens today.
But five years ago the figure was
much higher. It will be much
lower in the next five as radical
improvements and new designs
now on Youngstown’s drawing
boards or in prototype become
available.
A national remodeling effort
has begun in the kitchen. And
the Federal Housing Authority’s
new, more liberal loan plans ...
with up to 20 years to pay... are
sure to speed up the obsolescence
of obsolete U.S. kitchens.
