...recess, the partisan snipers still plinked away. As the Republicans' leading sharpshooter, New York's Congressman William Miller, retreated to Florida to meditate the wisdom of surrendering either his chairmanship of the G.O.P. National Committee or his House seat, his fellow New Yorker, Democratic Congressman Emanuel Celler, helpfully counseled him to hang onto the latter. After the recent "Rocky-mandered" reapportionment of New York's congressional districts, gibed Celler, a Republican could not be unseated in Miller's district "by St. Gabriel himself." Responded Miller: ''I hope-for once in Celler's life...
...that could store up all relevant precedents in a given field of law, spill out the information at 600 lines a minute, saving not only countless hours but what one lawyer termed "thousands of dollars in salaries for law clerks and secretaries." New York's Democratic Representative Emanuel Celler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, urged a federal system of public defenders to "reaffirm to the world that all our citizens, regardless of their power, poverty or color, are afforded the equal protection of our laws...
...drug companies and the drug advertising agencies permit themselves to be outraged by these very modest proposals," says Kefauver blandly, "I submit that they have lost all touch with reality."

Likely to replace it is a bill now being drafted by FDA with the more modest objective of regulating the flow of new drugs, testing their efficacy before they get to market, and encouraging prescription by generic names...
Share the Patents? Testimony on the drug industry is aimed at building up support for Kefauver's drug-industry antitrust bill (S. 1552). As introduced last April in the Senate (and by New York Democrat Emanuel Celler in the House), the bill is a shotgun blast against everything that Kefauver dislikes in the pharmaceutical industry. It would require drug manufacturers to get licenses from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and give FDA power to inspect and close their plants. It would prohibit marketing of new drugs until they have been proved effective and make FDA the judge...
Then, with Eastland taken care of, it remained for the Administration to satisfy House Judiciary Committee Chairman Emanuel Celler-and Celler might well take a good deal of satisfying. As of last week, he was not the least bit happy. Two of Celler's fellow New Yorkers, Republican Senators Kenneth Keating and Jacob Javits, had submitted to the Justice Department a list of bar association recommendations for New York's eleven new judgeships. "The brashest thing I ever heard of," protested Celler...
