SEPTEMBER It, 1979 Tut exhibit turns profit in Frisco United Press International SAN FRANCISCO — King Tut is proving to be a businessman’s dream, and Egypt is ringing up the profits. The King Tut exhibit, entering its fourth and final month at the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park, is taking in $10,000 a day more at the gift shop than the show did in any of the other six cities it visited. Between 800 and 900 people visit the show each hour. They pay at least $4 each to get in and spend an average of $5 at the gift shop. A produce company owner spent two hours examining the merchan dise and ordered $10,000 worth of items, including a $5,000 bronze image of the God Osiris. He re turned later and bought another $500 worth. Another buyer was an Egyptian curator who came from the Cairo Museum to oversee installation of the exhibit before it opened in June. He bought a collection of books from giftshop shelves and sent them back to Egypt.

One witness after another told the subcommittee of a personal hell brought on by dependence on Val ium — the nation’s No. 1 selling prescription drug. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., wants to require packaged informa tion inserts for patients who use Val ium to relieve tension, anxiety and other problems. He is also propos ing post-marketing surveillance of tranquilizers. William Ryan, a Roman Catholic priest from Brooklyn, told the senators he began taking Valium in the 1960s and was also “on the way to being addicted to alcohol.’ Ryan said his situation dete riorated to the point where “empty ing the wastebasket was a week-long project. Almost all of the witnesses said they were never counseled by their doctors against use of the tran quilizer. Ryan said his psychiatrist kept telling him: “Don’t forget to take the Valium.” A mother of seven from New Jer sey said she braved a midwinter blizzard to walk to the drugstore for her prescription. Dr. Theodore Clark, a psychiat rist from North Carolina, described himself as “a one-man testing station of each new tranquilizer that came along.’’ During his addiction, Clark said he grew dependent on deliveries of drug samples from pharmaceutical companies. “While all other doctors were reading their morning mail, I was eating mine,” he said. Currently, the manufacturer only uses advertisements and mailings to physicians to alert the medical Pm community to “addiction prod dividends. ” Among other witnesses Monday were Dr. Joseph who has helped Billy Carter, Ford, Herman Talmadge and less others kick their dependej the pill-or-booze bottle Other scheduled witnesses! eluded President Robert Ciarlj Hoffman-LaRoehe Inc., thei manufacturer of Valium, Harrison Clark of the National! sumers League.
