Cole tested drugs on elderly human volunteers twice last year without full approval, a n in vestigation h a s revealed. Th e Boston State Hospital review board twice gave Dr. Cole a go ahead on experiments i n t h e institution without a quorum required to make it s vote effective, a n investigation by the Department o f M e n ta l Health showed Thursday . Although the work was con- duc ted rent free at Boston State, the research in both cases w a s sponsored by commercial drug f i rm s .

We've had a l o t o f consciousness-raising but institutional change hasn't really happene d, says Miss Steinem. one of the magazine's founding editors. T he gains of the last seven or eight years were made in part because we were not perceived as a serious threat, she says o f the initial success of the wom en's movem ent. Now we Rail bridge due repairs nexl month Long-awaited reairs to the old railroad bridge a t Gate 4 of the Naval Education a n d Training Center are scheduled to begin July 5. The bridge will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traf- f i c fo r ab out three weeks. The ATR Construction Co. of New port will repair the substructure and roadbed of the bridge under a $21,600 contract awarded b y Conrail, successor to the former P enn Central Railroad, a C o n r a i l spokesman in WesUvood, Mass., said. T h e spokesman said federal funds will b e used to finance th e contract under a n arrangement whereby th e state i s subsidizing th e rail' line a s a low density line. H e said t h e A T R firm w as th e loest bidder. A n ew railing a n d walkway also will b e added w ith an extra 56,400 to be paid to the con trac- tor by NETC. Pedestrians and vehicular traffic n o w using Gale 4 bave been asked to use Gates 1,2 lOor 17. Gate will rema in open 24 hours a day until t h e repairs are completed. a r e very much perceived a s a serious threat and therefore the right-wing opposition t o t h e movement, which controls m any slate l e g i s l a t u r es an d religious movements... is very forceful, very focused. Commenting during an inter- view W ednesday amid festivities for the magazine's fiftli birthday, Miss Steinem said th e publication's anniver- sary h as been clouded by a re- cent U .S. Supreme C ourt ruling which held thai states d o n o t have pay for abortions f o r welfare recipients. This is not a happy week because poor women literally are g oing to have t o endanger their lives to get an abortion, s h e said. Ms. publisher P a t r i c ia Car- bine said t h e magazine has doubled i ts circulation l o S f lO . O O O a n d quadrupled i ts advertising revenues since its founding five years ago. This birthd ay celebration is a remarkable pub lishing success story, she said. Geigy Inc. o f Sum mit, N.J., th e slate attorney general's office stepped in to halt publication o f what it labeled misleading a d - vertising i n Boston-area newspapers to attract elderly subjects. Minutes of the hospital's Institutional Review Board showed the board approved Cole's research plans f or testing Surhem e and another drug called N icergoline at two separate m eetings in 1976, said William Crane, chairm an o f a five-mem ber Department o f Mental Health com mittee in - vestigating Cole's work. Gulag is the Russian abbre- viation for Chief Adm inis- tration o f Camps, referring to the departm ent of the Ministry o f Internal Affairs in charge o f th e forced labor camps. Autos wrecked on West Main Both cars were wrecked in a broadside collision last night on West Main Road i n M iddletown. Neither driver apparently w a s injured seriously. They both refused treatmen t at Newport Hospital. O n e of the drivers, Rob ert E. Darling Jr., 23, was issued two summonses f or driving after h is license w a s suspended a n d driving an u n r e g i s t e re d car. Police said Darling, southbound on West Main Road, h it th e side of a northbound c a r turning across traffic into Chase's Lane. Eyewitnesses s a id Darling just kept com ing as if he never saw h e other car, operated by Mrs. Rita E. Smith, 50 , of 11 Donald D rive, Middletown. Police said Da rling received a cut forehead, bu t refused treat- ment. Mrs. Smith told policeshe would see her own physician. Police said both cars were wrecked a nd had to be towed. They said chain link fence was damaged in front o f abandoned Navy housing there. However, both times th e board failed t o have the required quorum of half its mem b e r s, h e said. Th e comm i tt e e will report to Mental Health Commissioner Robert Okin. Crane has said it s conclusions may affect pending regulations on mental h e a l th research, esp ecially involv ing human subjects. D r . M aressa Hecht Orzack, a Boston Un iversity p s y c h o l o g i st a n d co-chairman of the review board, said app roval w s gran- te d without th e full quorum because that's the only way we could function. We have dragged studies o n over several weeks because we d id not have t h e proper con- stituency in our committee room, she said. She also said the board did not require approval o f advertising when it first gave t h e go-ahead .to the Surheme project, but it does now as a result of th e a t- torney general's action. Testimony also revealed tha t th e board and the superinten- dent of Boston Slate, D r . Edw ard Rom ano, had not com- municated since he took the job in September. Romano sits a s a n ex-officio member. A'week ago, Romano told th e comm i tt e e he did not kno w how th e board selected i ts m e m b e r s. Cole is chief o f psychophar- macology at the privately operated McL ean Hospital and was superintendent of B oston State Hospital unlit 1971 Although he is listed a s chief o f clinical research a t Boston State, the Departm ent of M e n t al Health has said Cole no longer is a stale employe, He is also a member of the review board, but Dr. Orzack said he did not participate in decisions on his own projects. t h e Norman Bird Sanctuary is offering a N T U R E D Y C M P Acarnpprogramfrom9:00to 12:00 A.M. foryoungpeopleages 5 through 12 .
