WASHINGTON (UPI) -The commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration testified today that proposed legislation to overturn an attempt by the FDA to regulate vitamins more closely would promote widespread consumer fraud. All consumers will definitely be hurt by such legislation, Dr.

Alexander Schmidt said. Those who will benefit are the unscrupulous promoters who want to sell unproven substances or irrational combinations of substances as food supplements and who want to make unfounded claims to promote the sale of these articles. Schmidt appeared at a congressional hearing on several bills to restrict the FDAs power to regulate vitamins. If the intent of these bills would become law, we would, in effect, return to the patent medicine abuses which prevailed at the turn of the century, Schmidt said. Rep.

Craig Hosmer, sponsor of one of the bills, said: I strongly believe that those who do use these products, which no one has ever shown to be harmful in whatever quantities taken, should be freely allowed to continue doing so without being threatened with the extra trouble and unnecessary expense of having to get a medical prescription. These people on whose behalf I plead are not kooks or nuts or food faddists or loonies. They are just plain people. Cyril F.
