(AP)--Three of the four United States manned orbital flights would not! have been completed success- fully if the pilots had not been able to take the spacecraft con- trols, a Project Mercury review conference was told Thursday. Warren J. North; chief of the flight-crew operations for the space agency's manned space- eraft centre, report that had the tors to watch for unusual reac- tions to new drugs and pre- vent another tragedy similar to the thalidomide episode. "Any time you see something yo: suspect is going off the ils, we would like to hear rom you immediately,'"' he told 150 doctors at the eastern On- tario regional conference of the International Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons which 'opened Thursday at Queen's University. Dr. Cameron laid the blame for the world rash of deformed thalidomide babies in 1961-62 squarely on the drug companies. "In Canada, the manufacturer must take adequate precautions to make sure his product is safe," he warned. 'We exist to astronauts relied solely on auto- matic systems, only Walter M.

Medical records show more doc-jthan 10,000 thalidomide babies were born--115 of them in Can- ada--before the drug was with- drawn, he said. Now, greater limitations have been placed on the distribution of drug samples. Dr. Lance Townsend, profes- sor of obstetrics and gynaecol- ogy at the University of Mel- bourne, Australia, told the con- ference hypertensive pregnant women should be allowed to carry their babies as long as possible. "In a condition that used to be regarded as fairly lethal for the baby and even dangerous for the mother, we have reduced the infant death rate to five per cent, while there is virtually no risk to mothers."' The doctor was describing a method of treatment he has de- vised in his Melbourne hospital. During pregnancy bed rest is prescribed during the after- noons. Overweight women go on a diet. Drugs to keep the blood pres- sure down are administered by injection. "Treatment allows an average prolongment of four weeks in the pregnancy, which gives the premature infant a much better chance," he said, From London PORT ROWAN, Ont. (CP)-- Some 50 searchers, including 30 soldiers*fram. London, Ont., combed the north shore. of the Long Point Bay Peninsula Thursday without finding the bodies of four Londoners, be- lieved to have drowned when their small home-made boat overturned in a storm last Sun- day. A provincial police spokesman said there is little doubt now that the fishing party was drowned in the storm, which he said 'commercial fishermen in their steel boats were afraid of." Participating in the search again today will be the 50 searchers--the soldiers from the 2nd battalion, the Royal Cana- dian Regiment, provincial po- lice, RCMP, volunteer firemen, Hands volunteers--a departm: and forests amphibian plane, a helicopter rented by the OPP and about 10 boats with grappling hooks. They'll cover the same terri- tory,-the north shore of the pen- insula from about the middie to the end, which stretches into Lake Erie. A life jacket was found in the area Thursday--the party took three with it--accounting for all the gear taken on the fishing trip. The OPP spokesman said -Pat- rick Justin, 43, his sons Ron- ald, 14, and Raymond, 12, and his nephew, Pte. Russell Bal- com, 21, "should never have been allowed out on the bay wih that little boat."

"Our stand is unchanged-- Ben Bella must be overthrown," the rebels' military leader, Col. Mohamad Ou el Hadj, told a press conference Thursday night at his headquarters in Michelet, a town of 1,000 in the Kabylia mountains east of Al- giers.

The traditional division be- tween Algeria's 2,000,000 Berb- ers and 8,000,000 Arabs was strongly alive in the little town facing the sharp Djurdjura ranges.
