Major breakthrough
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An alliance between two
scientists — one studying diabetes, the other ex
perimenting with genes — has produced a major break
through toward developing an abundant supply of insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that helps the body change blood
sugar into energy. Drs. Howard Goodman and William
Rutter announced Monday that their laboratories at the
University of California-San Francisco had successfully
planted rat genes, which produce a primitive form of
insulin, into colonies of bacteria, where they reproduced
along with their bacterial hosts.
WASHINGTON
Tough pollution controls
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Carter’s call for
tough pollution controls is drawing praise from en
vironment-minded lawmakers, but the administration
may have trouble getting its proposals through a Congress
preoccupied with energy legislation. The first major test
of the President’s environmental program could come
quickly as the House opens debate on a measure that
would relax some of the deadlines of the Clean Air Act
while offering increased protection to existing clean air
regions.
Carter’s decision accepted
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Joint Chiefs of Staff ac
cepted President Carter’s decision to withdraw all U.S.
ground troops from South Korea without formally ob
jecting, but didn’t display “any exuberant enthusiasm,”
Pentagon sources say. The joint chiefs were not asked to
give their collective opinion on the planned pull-out, the
sources said, but were told only to produce alternative
plans to carry out the withdrawal.
May test laetrile
WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Cancer Institute
is “seriously considering” using Laetrile in tests on
humans to determine whether the controversial substance
is an effective cancer treatment. Dr. Guy Newell, acting
director of the federal cancer institute, said early today
that the institute is reassessing its previous opposition to
testing Laetrile on cancer patients who volunteer for the
experimentation.
INTERNATIONAL
Gunmen demand freedom
ASSEN, The Netherlands (AP) — South Moluccan gun
men holding more than 150 hostages in a school and on a
train in northern Holland demanded freedom for 21 jailed
countrymen and a jumbo jet, the Dutch Justice Ministry
said today. The militants set a deadline of 2 p.m. local
time (8 a.m EDT) Wednesday for their demands to be met
and threatened to kill their hostages if the government
attempted mediation, Dutch radio reported.

the authorities as much as possible, he
said.
Head said generally lawmen
refrained from questioning suspects
until they get a lawyer.
Wallace ran through several pages of
notes he made hurriedly on laws in drug
cases.
Georgia laws dealing with drug abuse
come under the Controlled Substance
Act, he pointed out.
He said drug laws classify some 60 or
more different types with heroin,
cocaine and LSD at the top with the
highest sentences.
First time offenders can be sentenced
5 to 30 years and second timers can get
life sentences, Wallace pointed out.
Head explained possession of less
than an ounce of marijuana is treated
as a misdemeanor and goes to the State
Court of Spalding County or lower
court. Possession of more than an
ounce is a felony case and goes to the
superior court, Head explained.
Martin said a great deal of his work is
in prevention and counseling young
people in drug cases and other offenses.
He said the juvenile court works with
judges in the superior, state and
recorders courts when juveniles are
involved in drug cases.
The discussion lasted about an hour
and a half.
One woman wanted to know if it were
likely the Georgia legislature would
make marijuana legal.
Head said he thought one day it
might. There are more and more young
people in the legislature who have been
dealing with this, he said.
“Vote old,” one mother quipped.

TUNE IN A TSUNAMI
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
new early warning system is
being used at the University of
Hawaii to detect and locate
possible tidal waves, or tsu
namis.
Under the new system, fun
ded by the National Science
Foundation, the earthquakes
that generate tsunamis can be
detected by a radio, says Na
tional Geographic.
Though tsunamis are popu
larly called tidal waves, they
have nothing to do with the tide
or with ordinary waves, Geo
graphic points out. Tsunamis
are a series of seismic sea
waves that travel at more than
600 miles an hour in very deep
water. At sea, they are de
tected only by very sensitive in
struments.
In the past 150 years, 85 tsu
namis have struck Hawaii,
causing at least 383 fatalities.
The last major tsunami that hit
the islands slammed a 35-foot
wall of water into the Hilo wa
terfront in 1960.
