...dedicated, white-coated scientist skillfully brewing one wonder drug after another. But Tennessee's Estes Kefauver, chairman of the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee, long has had ambitions to paint a different picture -of an industry that fixes prices too high.

Hidden Costs. Upset by the fast attack, Schering's President Francis C. Brown hotly protested that Keef's chart -and the Keef himself-were all wrong. Prednisolone, said Brown, is a Schering improvement on Merck & Co.'s basic cortisone, is marketed by Schering under the trade name Meticortelone.

"I would say that I wouldn't know," droned Stengel again, "but I imagine to keep baseball going as high as baseball is a sport that has gone into baseball from the baseball answer." Murmured defeated Senator Kefauver, changing the subject...
...August to award Singer Froman $138,205 and Accordionist Markoff $33,236 for their wartime catastrophes. Last week Gypsy, at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing, asked Tennessee's Democratic Senator Estes Kefauver to raise the amounts; Jane was laid up after her 31st operation. Said Gypsy to the Keef: "My hand feels like a perpetual toothache." Observed the Senator: "A very pitiful, appealing situation...
