Underlying the drastic change at FDA was an argument over policy. For two years, the agency's top medical man was the head of the Bureau of Medicine, Dr. Joseph F. Sadusk Jr., 56, a seasoned physician with a knack for getting along with other physicians. But Goddard himself is a physician, and last week he declared: "Dr. Sadusk and I are at opposite poles in philosophy.

Azikiwe is justified in condemning the mixture of "progressive and reactionary tactics" which the U.S. has employed in Africa, but his argument is weakened by his plea for the U.S. to channel aid through Britain and France.
