Aspirin may be linked
to fatal youth disease
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The govern
ment said Wednesday an industry-
sponsored advertising campaign will
begin next week to warn of the possi
ble link between aspirin and the of
ten fatal children’s disease known as
Reye Syndrome.
The Department of Health and
Human Services said the campaign
will include posters and warning
stickers on store shelves along with
radio and television commercials.
But new aspirin labels warning of
the link will not begin appearing in
stores until this summer, tne depart
ment said, after the flu season is
over.
The new labels will warn against
the use of aspirin for children suf
fering from chickenpox or flu be
cause of a possible association with
Reye Syndrome, a rare disease that
is fatal to about one of every four
children who contract it.
Aspirin products now on the
shelves do not contain warnings
against such use, and labels on chil
dren’s aspirin even recommend use
of the product to relieve the discom
fort of colds or flu. The action taken
by the aspirin industry does not in
clude recall of those products to
change the labels.
HHS Secretary Margaret M.
Heckler, in announcing the cam
paign, applauded the Aspirin Foun
dation of America for “its prompt
and responsible action, which will be
getting the message to Americans
within a week.”
Heckler had called for voluntary
action by the industry on Jan. 9, af
ter rejecting a reciuest for emergency
action. The industry agreed two
days later, and government and in
dustry officials have been meeting
for nearly two weeks to work out de
tails of what would be done.

Baker awaits confirmation of new job
Associated Press
Senate
WASHINGTON — The
Finance Committee voted unani
mously Wednesday to recommend
confirmation of James A. Baker III
as Treasury secretary after hearing
him say the administration believes
simplifying the tax code is as impor
tant as attacking deficits.
Baker, however, stressed repeat
edly that the tax plan unveiled by the
current Treasury secretary, Donald
Regan, was only a “starting point”
and could be substantially modified
before it is sent to Congress.
Baker, President Reagan’s chief of
staff for four years, is swapping jobs
with Regan. Baker’s nomination won
easy approval from the panel follow
ing a 2 1 /2-hour hearing in which
Baker was relaxed and often en-
f aged in friendly banter with his
enate interrogators.
His nomination is expected to be
taken up by the full Senate next
week and Finance Committee Chair
man Robert Packwood predicted
quick approval.
Baker, credited as the key strateg
ist responsible for the president’s
first-term legislative victories, said
the administration hopes 1985 will
be a replay of 1981, when the ad
ministration “found the resources”
to get a major tax bill and spending
cuts through Congress.
The president will give "equal
priority,” Baker said, to reducing
budget deficits that are soaring to
more than $200 billion annually:
to overhauling the tax code.
Baker said Reagan would
