Donald T. Traci, lawyer with the law firm, said the suit was filed on behalf of Peter and Paul Settle of Hamilton, Ont., m Jan. 3, 1962, in Canada to laxene Settle, 32. Her husband fs a plumber. Traci said the Settles' four other children are normal. NEGLIGENCE CHARGED The suit alleges the company, which manufactured thalido- mide under a trade name, dis- tributed it to physicians for clinical testing on human be- ings and that the company was. negligent in representing that its produce was safe for preg- ant mothers and broke an im- plieq warranty. Mrs. Settle said in the peti- age of the drug from a physi- cian and took one pill of the synthetic chemical on four straight nights during the early part of her pregnancy. Compensatory damages of $1,000,000 were asked for each of the twin boys and $200,000 damage for the parents for loss of service and subsequent medi- cal attention for the twins. Traci said five other suits, seeking between $7,500,000 and $10,000,000, will be filed here within the next two weeks on behalf of one Canadian boy and four more girls, all deformed. In Cincinnati, officials of the drug firm said they had not heard of the suit and declined comment until they leara more about it and talk with lawyers. HAMILTON (CP)--A_ $2,200,- 000 law suit filed by a Hamilton couple on behalf of their thalido- mide twins will not be heard by Cleveland courts until "at least" 1966, their counsel said Monday. The Settles had no comment in age to questions about the suit. A partner in the Cleveland law firm which represents them confirmed that it will be at least two years before their case comes to court. Oliver Hasenflue, of the firm Shibley, said the delay would be caused by the importance of the case and the heavy docket before Cleveland courts. The senior member of the firm, Craig Spangenberg, was not available for comment. HAS GOOD RECORD "T imagine that Mr. Spangen- berg was retained because of his outstanding record in per- sonal injury cases," Mr. Hasen- flue said. The Cleveland firm is in- volved in five other thalidomide cases and the total damages claimed amount to about $10,- 000,000, he said. "We feel the amount of dam- ages claimed will serve as a deterrent to firms which sell drugs to the public before ade- quate testing has been carried out," he said. "We may introduce the chil- dren but in the case of minors the jury will accept photographs as evidence." CONFERENCE ENDS WILLIAMSBURG, Va.

Start Probe Into Fee Paid WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sena- tor Philip A. Hart, (Dem. Mich.) opening an investigation into alleged shady deals in box- ing, warned today "time is run- ning out for the boxing industry unless something is done" to end '"'genera! public disrespect and distrust." Hart's comments were in a prepared statement as his Sen- ate . anti-trust and monopoly subcommittee opened three days of hearings on circum- stances surrounding the contro- versial technical knockout Feb. 25 by which Cassius Clay won the heavyweight title from Sonny Liston. "There has been a growing suspicion," Hart said, "that the sport is controlled by hidden manipulators and that the men who go into the ring and take the knocks are the ones who profit least from the gate re- ceipts." Hart said the first interest of the hearings will be a $50,000 promotional fee paid Clay be- fore the title bout by Intercon- tinental Promotions Inc., in which Liston is a stockholder, for the exclusive right to pro- mote Glay's next fight and to pick his,.opponent. This fee has figured in efforts by Ed Lassman, president of the World Boxing Association, to take the heavyweight title away from Clay. By Clay Lassman, scheduled to ap- pear before the subcommittee Thursday, is taking a poll of the WBA's 20-member executiv committee to declare the title vacant, He is expected to endorse strongly the proposal before the Senate subcommittee to set up a federal czar over boxing. Hart said the subcommittee was considering estab- lishing the federal boxing com- missioner in some other agency than the justice department. He said that with the advent of closed-circuit television fight promoters who once longed for million-dollar gates are now talking of $5,000,000. Uther witnesses besides Lass- man during the three days of hearings include: Garland D. (Bill) Cherry of Chester, Pa., a secretary of In- ter - Continental Promotions Inc., and an official of the Del- aware Advertising and Manage- ment Agency, I which had closed cireuis televistor=rights for the ListonClay match. for the syndicate of wealt Louisville businessmen thi guided Clay to the top of h profession.
