HAND-TO-HAND RIFLE
& GRENADE BATTLES
Tokyo, Mar. 2.
No large-scale action to capture Hoengsong, the Communist defence pivot on the central front in Korea, had been launched, a United Nations spokesman said tonight after an American Marine patrol had earlier in the day paid a quick visit to the much-battered town.
The spokesman described the Marines' action as part of the light skirmishing which has been going on around the south edge of the town. for some days.
They had fought several hand-to-hand rifle and grenade battles with the town's fanatical de- fenders, mainly Chinese Communists with some North Koreans.
No further reports had yet been received from the patrol, the spokesman added.

Official Denial Of Mr Bevin's Resignation
But Speculation Persists
In Political Circles
London, Mar. 2. An official denial that Mr Ernest Bevin had decided to resign as Foreign Secretary failed to- night to dispel the belief that he will shortly give up this post.
Reports that he has already taken a personal decision to leave the Foreign Office as soon as a successor can be chosen persisted strongly despite this disclaimer from the Prime Minister's office.
Usually reliable quarters had indicated that the 70-year-old Foreign Secretary might act in office in the Government as a Minister Without Portfolio.

Freeing Antibiotic Drugs
ECISION to decontrol antibiotic drugs is a concession to importers of British pharmaceuticals the out- come of which will be watched with interest by the public. The whole argu- ment of the importers has been that Government's controlled prices of these drugs were unrealistic and made no provision for natural increases in purchasing costs, the result being that the commodities became a dead loss to retail at the official rates. There were other reasons, however, for the sudden Increase in retail prices, one being the United States embargo. Retailers are not entirely free from blame either for the so-called shortages or for the outrageous prices. However, importers have now satisfied Government that there are sufficient stocks of British pharmaceuticals and also every prospect that these can readily be re- placed; wherefore it is unnecessary any longer to impose arbitrary and unrealistic controlled retall prices. It. would be foolish, however, either for the general public, or members of the pro- fessions who dispense these drugs, to imagine, that retail prices will fall to anything like the previously prevailing controlled, rates. The best assurance that can be given by dealers is that there will be a sufficiency of the drugs ́and that they will be "made available at reasonable prices." One interesting feature of the agreement made between

being artificially rendered un- available to the public except at pro- hibitive prices. Government appears to have accepted the proposition in principle and if it shows itself to be practicable so far as antibiotic drugs are concerned, the Authorities might well, to the benefit of the community, apply the system to a variety of other essential commodities so difficult to procure unless high prices are paid by .the consumer. The arrangement made by Government and pharmaceutical importers is significant in two respects: firstly it will help to demonstrate whether regular monthly stocktaking on behalf of the Authorities can ensure adequate supplies for the local market; secondly whether, by decontrol, retail prices are able to find a constant level". that is fair both to the dealer and the consumer. The experiment may well be a guide for expanded action on similar lines.
