Senate Adopts Bill
on Designer Drugs
By Merk La ngford
UPI Capitol Reporter
AUSTIN-The Texas Senate this week
passed bills that would crack down on
so-called designer drugs and speed labs
and require the parents of unwed teenage
children to be financially responsible
for their grandchildren.
The Senate also passed a House resolution
Wednesday creating a Tax
Equity Commission.
Sen. Ray Farabee, D-Wichita Falls,
sponsor of the child support bill, said
the measure was not only designed to
make parents financially responsible
but also help prevent teenage pregnancies.
'It would di8courage parents from
putting their teen children and their
children out on the street," he said. "It
would involve parents to a greater
degree to influence their children not to
become pregnant."
Under the bill, the parents of unwed
teenagers who have children would be
financially responsible for those childJ"<'
n, until they reach age 18, and their
grandchildren.
The bill, adopted on a voice vote,
would not apply to the parents of mar·
ried teenage parents or those teenage
parents who can provide their own
financial support.
Farabee said Texas has the second
highest number of teenage pregnancies
in the nation and is first in the nation in
the number of births to girls under age
14.
In 1985, 18,600 babies were born to
unwed Texas teenagers, Farabee said,
adding that 80 percent of all pregnant
teenage girls do not finish high school.
Despite a current law that makes par·
en ts financially responsible for children
under age 18, Farabee said many teen
mothers are being forced to seek public
assistance for herself and her child or go
without any financial support.
Farabee also sponsored a bill that
would amend the Controlled Substance
Act to reduce the proliferation of"speed
labs" and designer drugs.
The bill, adopted on a 28-0vote, would
require chemical manufacturers and
retailers to keep records of sales tran·
sactions of certain "raw" chemicals
used in the manufacture ofmethamphetamines.
Farabee said the measure would
allow law enforcement agencies to find
out who is buying the chemicals and
trace them to the illegal manufacturing
facilities. The bill would also reduce the
manufacture of illegal designer drugs
that can be made legal by slight
changes in their chemical makeup.
The bill adopts language in current
federal law that makes illegal any drug
that is substantially similar in chemical
makeup and has the same effect as the
controlled drug.
The Senate also unanimously
adopted the House-passed Tax Equity
Commission, which will conduct a com·
prehen~ive study of the state tax system
and make recommendations for possi·
ble changes.
"In today's changing economy .. . we
need to study what would be in the best
interests of the state as a whole," said
Sen. Grant Jones, D-Temple, the bill's
sponsor.
The Senate added an amendment providing
that the lieutenant governor and
House speaker jointly choose the commission's
chairman.
Survey: Americans Favor
Contraceptive Ads on TV
By Aur elio Rojas
LOS ANGELES (UPJ)-A majority of
Americans believe television portrays
sex as "all fun and no risk" and that
broadcasters should encourage the use
of contraceptives, a Harris Poll commis·
sioned by Planned Parenthood says.
Planned Parenthood Federation of
America will use the findings of the poll
in an effort to influence the television
networks to broadcast contraceptive
commercials, President Faye Wattleton
told a news conference Wednesday.
Seventy-four percent of the respondents
favored contraceptive advertising
on television after being reminded that
the surgeon general had called for the
increased use of condoms to reduce the
spread of AIDS.
Sixty-three percent of the 1,250 adults
surveyed nationwide Jan. 28·Feb. l said
they believed that most television programs
give the impression that sex is
"all fun and no risk."
Wottleton said 64 percent of those
polled believe that watching television
encourages teenagers to be sexually
active and contributes to the fact that
the United States has the highest teen
pregnancy rate of any industrialized
country-more than 1 million a year.
"We know that the networks air more
than 20,000 sexual references in one
year, but birth control is mentioned only
on rare occasions," Wattleton said.
"Consequently, the message our teen·
agers get is that sex is fun and exciting,
but that there are no consequences to
worry about."
The survey also found that83 percent
of Americans believe TV exaggerates
the importance of sex.
Wattleton said it also rebuts the con·
tention of many local television stations
and the three major networks that have
refused to air commercials for contra·
ccptives on the grounds they would
offend viewers.
"Our poll shows that a clear majority
of Americans, 60 percent, believe that
television stations should be allowed to
air contraceptive advertising," she said.
"Sixty-four percent disagree with the
statement that contraception is too con·
troversial to be mentioned in television
programs, and a large majority of the
American public-72 percent-would
not he offended by contraceptive advertising
on television."
The survey reported that " .. . there is
more support for contraceptive advertis·
ing than there is for the advertising of
beer and wine (53 percent to 45 percent),
and for feminine hygiene sprays (58 percent
to :J9 percent), both of which are
frequently advertised on television."
Wattleton coiled on the networks to
show a more realistic picture of the
world in thrir programming and com
mercials, and said the networks were
"completely out of step with the great
majority of the American people" on the
subject of contraception.
Wattleton said that only 11 percent of
Americans have a religious or moral
objection to birth control and family
planning.

AIDS Hospital
Closed to
Indigents
The nation's first hospital devoted
entirely to the treatment of AIDS vktims
has stopped accepting new
patients who lack the funds or insurance
to pay for their care, hospital offi.
cials announced.
The Institute for Immunological Disorders
operated by American Medical
International has provided $2 million in
services to impoverished patients since
it opened in September.
By August hospital officials expect
the total cost of caring for indigent
patients to have risen to $5 million.
Those cost are far in excess of the
$250,000 committed to indigent care by
AMI when it signed an affiliation agreement
with the University of Texas System
establishing the hospital.
'"The highest priorities of the institute
are to continue to provide care of the
highest quality to its current patients as
well as to continue its research program
directed toward eventual elimination of
this disease," the institute's board said
in a prepared statement March 1:3.
"The need for services by patients
who are without health insurance and
have no other financial resources has
reached a point that threatens the ability
of the institute to serve these two
priorities," the statement said .
"'Therefore the in8titute is not currently
accepting new patients who are
unable to pay for their health care."
The ho.;pital serve• about 600 outpatienL•
and has the capacity for 150inpa·
tients but on March 14 had only 10
inpatients, a spokeswoman said.
Indigent patients already accepted
for admission and patients whose insu·
ranee or funds lapsed after admission
will continue to receive treatment, hos·
pita! officials said.
Officials said they also will counsel
patients with AIDS-related disorders
about financial problems and help them
maintain their health insurance and
other re80urces.
The facility also will help indigent
patients gain admittance to Jefferson
Davis Ho•pital, a county operated facility
with an outpatient AIDS clinic and
16 beds for inpatients.

Nation's Controversial No.2 Health Official
By Tamara Henry
WASHINGTON (UPl)-Dr. Robert
Windom has explained health issues to
patients for 27 years as a practicing
physician and for JO years as a Florida
television host, but as the nation's No. 2
health official, he may have some real
explaining to do.
Windom, who has been assistant
secretary of health nine months, was
criticized earlier this month when he
tried to explain to a Senate subcommittee
why he wanted only a 28.5 percent
increase in federal dollars for AIDS
research and education.
He also landed in hot water late last
year when he mistakenly told reporters
at a luncheon that the Taiwan A flu
vaccine should be taken by everyone
under 35 years old and over age 65,
wh•n, in fact, key health officials
recommended the vaccine only for persons
with severe health conditions.
And in lees specific matters, Windom
struggles to explain the recent rapid
technological advances within the
health care industry and refuses to predict
the future, only to say: "I hope in the
next period of years we could have every
disease prevented by certain forms of
medical intervention, like vaccine."
Part of the problem stems from the job
itself. As assistant secretary for health,
Windom directs the activities of the
Public Health Service, a component of
the Department of Health and Human
Services, which with a $360 billion
budget is one of the largest federal agen·
cies.
Windom has served as assistant
health secretary since June 1986, after
Texas Firm
Optimistic in
Finding a
'Super' Vaccine
SAN ANTONIO !UPl)-Testing of a
single vaccine designed to target three
spxual disPase-AIDS, herpes and
hepatitis B-is under way at the
Southwest Foundation for Biomedical
Ref'enrrh .
"The approach looks very promis·
ing," Ronald C. Kennedy, an associate
scientist at the San Antonio research
center, said Monday.
"What we're doing now are potency
studies to determine how powerful it is
in small animals," Kennedy said.
The basis for the experimental vac·
cine is a weakened smallpox virus,
Kennc>dy said.
New York scientists, who first devel·
opt.•d in I 985 a combination vaccint.• by
splicing herpes fiimplex II and hepatitis
B genes into the weakened smallpox,
invitcid the foundation to add genetic
material for AIDS.
Scientists at the San Antonio center
last month cut into the smallpox genetic
code machine-made parts of AIDS virus
genes.
Work is under way to make sure the
right AIDS genetic material spliced into
the unusual vaccine produces the
desired antibodies.
Some studies have indicated certain
antibodies produced in more traditional
vaccine approaches actually help the
virus infect white blood cells
"If you make antibodies do the wrong
thing, you enhance infection." Kennedy
snid.
"We are still trying to determin<'
which pit'<'£'"' 8lay in and which pit.•('('~
t·omc> nut," he ~aid
being nominated by President Reagan
and confirmed by the Senate. Before
joining HHS, he was a practicingphysi·
cian, for 26 years, specializing in inter·
nal medicine in Sarasota, Fla.
For JO years, Windom produced and
was the host on regular television programs
on health topics in Florida.
The Public Health Service includes
the Health Resources and Services
Administration, the Alcohol, Drug
Abuse and Mental Health Administration,
the Centers for Disease Control,
the Food and Drug Administration, the
National Institutes of Health, and the
Agency for Toxic Substances and Dis·
ease Registry.
"It's a constantly evolving and moving
organization," said Windom in an
interview. "On top of that, we get new
diseases, new threats-tampering, for
example-and we get problems of new
diseases, like AIDS, and other manifes·
tations of old diseases.
"The Public Health Service has
evolved and is going along with the
times, and even been ahead of it at
times," said Windom.
Acquired immune deficiency syn·
10 Million May
Have AIDS
Virus
GENEVA (UPl)-As many as JO mil·
lion people are believed to be infected
with the virus that causes AIDS, the
director of the World Health Organize·
!ion's AIDS program said Thursday.
Dr. Jonathan Mann said between 4
percent and 15 percent of healthy adults
in some parts of the world carry the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
and related retroviruses.
But the figure is as high as 60 percent
to 80 percent in high-risk groups, Mann
told an international symposium on
immunization.
Mann said prospects appear encouraging
for a vaccine against HIV, the
virus that causes acquired immune defi·
ciency syndrome. People with the virus
do not necessarily develop AIDS.
11However, the development of a vac·
cine of proven efficacy and safety,
should it be feasible, is a long-term
objective that, at best, will take several
years to accomplish," Mann said.
He said the current 42,000 reported
cases of AIDS worldwide "represents
only a fraction" of the real total because
of "reticence in reporting from some
areas combined with under-recognition
of AIDS and under-reporting to
national health authorities."
It is more significant, Mann said, that
91 countries have by now officially
reported cases of the disease to WHO.
That figure is more relevant when
assessing the "extraordinary scope and
unprecedented urgency of the HIV pan·
demic," he said.
"The numbers of AIDS cases pro·
vides, at best, an inaccurate and, at
worst, a misleadingly optimistic view of
the real extent and intensity of HIV
infection," Mann told the symposium.
"WHO estimates that between 5 mil·
lion and 10 million persons are cur·
rently infected with HIV," said Mann,
an American.
Testing possible AIDS vaccines will
be "complex, difficult, and time·
consuming," he warned.
"An AIDS vaccine for general use will
not be available. if at all, before I !191
nnd i~ unlikrly to h(·available before the
mid·l990•," Mann said.
drome has become a key focus of the
Centers for Disease Control based in
Atlanta.
The National Institutes of Health
recently announced the development of
a new vaccine for whooping cough that
may eliminate the serious side effects of
the current vaccine. A pilot study of J00-
150 children 18 months old is about to
start in Massachusetts.
Windom describes the NIH as "the
mecca of health research in the world,"
starting in 1887 as an attic-room labora·
tory in the Marine Hospital on Staten
Island, N.Y. It is considered the symbol
of high-technology medicine; the last·
resort clinic where people may turn for
the latest expenmental therapies when
conventional remedies have failed.
Even the Public Health Service itself
had humble beginnings. It came into
being in 1798 as the Marine Hospital
Service when President John Adams
signed into law an act providing for the
"care and reliefof sick and disabled sea·
men."
With all the recent changes in the
health care field, Windom rejected the
idea that society may be moving toward
socialized medicine.
"This pendulum has been swinging
for a long time, you know," Windom
said. 0 There are trends that go back and
forth."

No Condoms for Texas Prison Inmates
HUNTSVILLE (UPl)-State pmon
officials, citing security and ethical reasons,
said they have decided against
distributing condoms as a method of
curbing the spread of AIDS among
Texas inmates.
Prison doctors instead will launch a
massive educational campaign to teach
inmates more about the disease, said
Dr. Vonda Reeves, director of the AIDS
program at TDC.
"This is an institutional issue that
basically. at this point, we've made a
decision not to issue the condoms," she
said. "This is not a firm decision, but at
this point we're following the lead of the
two larger prison systems (California
and New York) in the United States."
"As the disease changes, so will we
modify our protocol and procedures to
adapt, to try and address what is hap·
pening with it."
The Texas Criminal Justice Task
Force has recommended that condoms
be distributed to Texas prison inmates
as a possible way to help curb the spread
of AIDS in state prisons.
Dr. Lawrence Cunningham, TDC
medical chief of staff, said security was
a major consideration in deciding
against such a policy, Corrections officials
ere concerned about the potential
for inmates' i:;muggling drugs in prison
with the help of condoms. he said.
Prison officiali- ah10 are concerned the
diRtribution of condoms would promote
homosexuality
Indians Get
AIDS
At fir•! it was thought AIDS was a nonIndian
problem, but 32 cases have been
reported among native Americans since
1981, according to the government's
Indian Health Servke and Centers for
Disease Control.
The cases were reported in 14 states as
of Feb. 20, according to Pat Johannes,
communicable di~ease activities coordinator
for the CDC in Phoenix. Ariz. The
total number of deaths from AIDS was
17. with 44 percent of them in California
and New York.
The age of the patients ranged from
17 to 53 years old.
"There is enough evidence to suggest
that despite the remoteness of many
Indian reservations, even those com·
municable diseases dependent upon
lifestyle for transmission will affect
Native Americans. and considerable
effort mu•t be put into their identifica·
tion, treatment and prevention,"
Johannes wrote in an IHS newsletter
Burton AIDS
By William C. Trott
United Preaa International
Burt Reynolds is still irked by rumors
that he has AIDS and credits girlfriend
Loni Anderson with helping him deal
with the reports.
"It's real difficult to have any dignity
and class when people are saying you're
dying of a disease and saying the things
they were saying about me," he says in
an interview that was to be broadcast
last week on "Hour Magazine."
"Loni was sensational. When they
write about this, somebody should write
about how much class and dignity she
had through it all.
"If, in fact, I had this dreaded disease,
then she should have it too, or!e would
think. Nobody ever talked about that.
Nobody asked her opinion. It was if she
didn't exist."
In the meantime, Reeves said, prison
officials will initiate an infonnafional
drive on AIDS within the prisons.
"We're launching a massive program
of education for inmates," Reeves said.
"It will be group education sessions and
we will utilize pamphlets and audio vis·
ual materials."
Cunningham and Reeves spoke with
reporters following a daylong TDC
seminar for about 400 prison medical
workers on the medical, ethical and
legal issues of AIDS in prisons. The
seminar is the first of several workshops
the TDC will offer its personnel.
Fifteen TDC inmates have died after
developing acquired immune deficiency
syndrome, the latest this month. At
least five others have AIDS and 32 more
have tested positive for the AIDS virus.
Two suicides have also been reported
among inmates diagnosed with AIDS,
Reeves said.
The TDC does not screen inmates for
the AIDS virus and does not routinely
isolate all AIDS patients, she said.
Currently, the TDC isolates only
those AIDS patients in high risks, such
as known homosexuals or intravenous
drug users, Reeves said.

Houston Live by Bill O'Rourke

I know some of you are afraid of Shakespeare.
You associate his name with
blown-up ham actors chewing the scenery.
Or with archaic language that's difficult
to understand. Or ancient people
fighting over things that don't matter to
us now. Besides, how can anything
that's supposed to be that good for you
("the greatest English dramatist that
ever Jived'") be any fun at all?
There is nothing to fear and much to
enjoy in the Main Street Theater production
of Much Ado About Nothing.
There is no overacting. If anything,
some of the characters are a little underacted.
Nearly everyone, however, is
very believable in a very modem way.
These people might live next door, if you
live in River Oaks.
Spoken with clarity, accompanied by
actions and emotions we hold in common,
the words are actually very easy to
understand. These are not street people.
I, for one, am glad of that. Right now
there are too many plays colored red,
what with profanity and other gutter
vulgarities. In this production, by and
large, here we have the muted pastels
one imagines he might here in any
boardroom."
Steve Garfinkle plays Dogberry in
MST's "Much Ado About Nothing"
in love with each other. How can they
admit it to each other without losing
face?
Can the day really be saved by Dogberry
(Steve Garfinkle), a pompous
lower-class ass with a flair for malapropisms.
Shakespeare did have one habit that
The distinguished acting couple of Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn are
recipients of the 1987 Alley Award. The Tony Award·u:inning couple will
discuss their careers in "A Conversation with Jessica Tandy and Hume
Cronyn" Saturday, March 21, 6:00 p.m. on the Alley Theatre Large Stage
There are two plots. In one, handsome
Claudio (Dane Cruz) falls in love with
shy Hero (Vicki Luman). His friend
Pedro (Tim Plaumbo) helps them
become engaged. But on the evening
before their wedding, instead of a bachelor
party, they're tricked by nasty John
(Ray Simmons) into believeing that
Hero has been sleeping around. Claudio
reacts much as any conservative fiance
would today. Her father (Vaughn C.
Johnson) takes his side, too. How can
poor Hero ever prove her virginity?
In the other plot, Beatrice (Claire
Hart-Palumbo) and Benedick (Jerry
McCulley) are always reading each other's
beds. They might remind you of
Benson and Krause. But then their
friend tricks them into realizing they're
not all ofour contemporary playwrights
do. He always looked atthedownsideof
his funny situations and the funny side
of his catastrophes. It makes for a wellrounded
play. But with all the insults,
the teasing and other word play, the
overall mix in this play is hilarious.
To point up the play's relevance and
to excuse any small errors in authenticity
that might be made to help the
a~dience understand the finer details,
director Rebecca Greene Udden has
turned this show into a play within a
play. When we arrive, the actors are
doing their warm-ups on stage. Kathleen
Lipscomb's sets all face away from
the audience. Only half of the period
costumes ever reach the theater. So the
actors are partly in costume, partly in
rehearsal clothes. The whole effect is
interesting, at times very pretty.
It is never a1lowed to intrude into the
action of the play. In fact, it has no interaction
with the play itself whatever.
Several of Shakespeare's plays were
witten to be plays within plays, but this
wasn't one of them.
However, this approach is not without
solid precedents. In Shakespeare's
day, the actors wore hand-me-downs
from rich fans. They made no attempt to
fit the clothes to the locale and time.
Evening in a garden, sure-but a
hundred years ago in a foreign country,
forget it!
There's even a famous example where
the playwright himself mentioned a
clock in a play set long before they were
invented, right there in the dialogue. In
our own day, Richard Burton's most
successful Hamlet was done completely
in rehearsal clothes.
If it feels good, do it. !fit works, emotionally
and aesthetically use it. Bless
historical accuracy! Send it to heaven
and get it out of our hair! (Unless, of
course, it would work better.)
So, if you've never seen Shakespeare,
this would be a good spot to dip your toe
in. If you have, this is a welcome visit
with an old friend. Whatever, this is a
most enjoyable show.

Government Announces
Nationwide Blitz on AIDS
By Jan Ziegler
UPI Si 'n ·e Writer
WASHINGTON (UPIJ-The government,
beginning a nationwide inforrna·
tion blitz to combat the spread of AIDS,
will recommend that tens of thousands
of Americans who received routine
blood transfusions be tested for the
AIDS virus.
The U.S. Public Health Service, in a
bulletin that was expected to be released
Thur"day, will say physicians should
consider offering AIDS tests to people
who had transfusions from 1978 when
the disease first began appearing to
April 19R5when blood banks began bet·
ter screening, NBC News reported
It also v-.111 suggest tests are more
important for thm;e who received multi·
pie transfusions and for sexually active
recipients because if infected they
would be more likely to pass the disease
along.
M. Roy Schwarz, director of medical
education for the American Medical
Association in Chicago said on the NBC
"Today" program that a "very, very
small" percentage of the approximately
34 miJlion to 36 million Americans who
received blood transfusions between
1978 and 1985 may find themselves in a
high·risk" situation-people who
received multiple transfusions and live
near New York. San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
Schwartz said the odds are 0.06 percent
that a person would be found to
have the virus. ''But I think if you're a
person who had multiple transfusions,
those numbers don't mean anything.
You ought to know if you arc at risk ."
Estimatei; of those who received the
transfusion1o; and may have the AIDS
viru" range from 12,000 to 20,000 people.
Rep. Henry Waxman. D-Calif., told
CBS's ''The Morning Program" that the
government does not have the funds for
AIDS testing or counseling. "And we
don't even have the confidentiality in
place, which would allow people to feel
free to come forward for that testing."
Waxman Raid there are waiting lists
for people who want to be tested in New
York. San Francisco and Los Angeles.
"We need more testing facilities. We
need more people to counsel."
Waxman said testing is "going to be a
very. very expensive propasition. If we
ask people to pay for it themselves, just
the testing may well be $50 to $200."
The government information plan
released Monday does not address test·
ing, concentrating, instead, on mass
media advertising and school education
to get people to be more cautious about
their sexual contacts and is also
designed to induce drug abusers to
avoid sharing needles
"Our bbt hope today for controlling
the AIDS epidemic lies in educating the
public about the seriousness of the
threat. the ways the AIDS virus is trans·
mitted and the practical steps each per·
son can take to avoid acquiring it or
spreading it." Health and Human Servi·
ces Secretary Otis Bowen said in a preface
to the plan.
The acquired immune deficiency syndrome
virus is spread by intimate sexual
contact and contaminated blood or
needles. People are being urged to
remain in strictly faithful monogamous
relationships or use a condom.
The plan was released Monday by Dr
Robert Windom. assistant secretary for
health. before a subcommittee of the
House Committee on Government Oper·
abons.
The plan uses as a base the 22 guidelines
on AIDS issued between 1982 and
1986 by the Public Health Service and
calls for cooperation among all
brancheti of government, professional
and service organizations and the private
sector.
"Everyone muist be aware of behavior
that puts them at risk," the plan said.
To reach the public at large, the plan
recommends a mass media campaign
under contract with a major advertising
agency, forming a coalition of public
and privalP sector groups to exchange
and coordinate education efforts, set·
ting up an information clearinghouse
and continuing to support a toll-free
AIDS hotline, in existence since 1983.
Among the recommendations for edu·
cation of school·age and coHege stu·
dents are a national coalition on AIDS
education, development of programs
especially for black and Hispanic youth
and providing extra help in areas with a
heavy percentage of AIDS cases.
"The scope and content of the school
portion of this AIDS education effort
should be locally determined and
should be consistent with parental
values," Bowen's statement said.
Public Health Service spokesman
James Brown said an advertising
agency will be contracted in June, while
the national coalition and clearinghom-
ie are in the works. Plans are just
beginning for the school coalition. he
said.
The cost of starting programs called
for in the plan will be covered by the $70
million education appropriation in the
1987 budget and the $104 million
requested in the fiscal 1988 budget, he
said.
The financing does not, however,
include another tactic under considers·
tion at PHS: direct mailings about
AIDS to every household in the country,
Brown said

By De' Ann Weimer
UPI Capitol Reporter
AUSTIN (UPJ)-Conservative law·
makers grilled State Health Commis·
sioner Robert Bernstein March 13 for
not advocating abstinence as a way for
gay men to avoid contracting AIDS.
'OrganizC"d ag(>ncies have joined in
what I consider a propaganda cam
paign of delu•ion, (by saying) that this
disease AIDS is not particularly related
to the homosexual community,"
charged Rep. Rill Ceverha. R-Dallas.
Berrn;tein and Dr. Ron ,J. Anderson,
chairman of the Board of Health,
appeared before the House Appropria·
tions Committee to testify on the
Department of Health's budget for the
next biennium.
Some lawmakers chose to question
Bernstein and Anderson on the Health
Department's seeming failure to lobby
for stricter laws to control the spread of
AIDS.
"I certainly cannot tell people when to
have sex and who to have it with," Bernstein
said in response to Ceverha's sug·
gestion that the state consider making
sexual activities between homosexuals
of higher illegality than its current level
of Class C misdemeanor.
14What bothers me about the whole
thing is somehow or another our official
agencies, yours included, are trying to
perpetuate a myth that says 'don't
worry homoRexualR, this is not a homo·
sexual disease,"' Ceverha said.
"And what we're telling those people
is to go ahead and go on about their
business, practice safe sex," while the
accumulated evidence shows that gays
still run the risk of contracting the disease,
he said.
"That is totally unfair to those young
mdividuals who are involved in that
activity. I have never seen anything
come out that said, 'Don't engage in
homosexual activities because you
stand a good chance of contacting the
disease and you're going to die,"'
Ceverha said.
Anderson argued that sodomy laws
are not effective because they drive
AIDS victims underground, making it
impossible for health officials to track
the epidemic.
"I'm a First Baptist and so I'm not
trying to tell you I'm for an alternative
lifestyle," Anderson told committee
members. "But at the same time, I think
sometimes we let our prejudice towards
homosexuals get in the way of the pub·
lie health problems we have to deal
with.
"The most fundamental of us are having
to work this out and sort out our
prioritieR." he said
Comparing the di Rease to an epidemic
of •mall pox, Rep. Tom Waldrop, D·
Corsicana, qupriE.·d Bernstein on thE"
feasibility of quarentining AIDS
patients and carriers.
Unlike small pox, Bernstein said
Komeonr must "go out of their way" to
contract AIDS and quarentining would
serve no purpose hecausE.• the disease 1s
spread by intimate• Hexual contact only.
Anderson worried that discrimination
against AIDS victims has placed
the burden of carrying for victims of the
disease on the state.
Individuals identified as carriers fre~
quently loHe their jobs, homes, and insurancp
because their tests results become

Anti-Viral Drug Fights AIDS-Related Infection s10°0 i
I off i By Larry Doyle
UPI SC'ience Writer
CHICAGO (UPl)-An anti-viral drug
appears effective in controlling an
unusual oral infection associated with
the AIDS virus and could also lead to
therapy for people chronically infected
with a form of mononucleosis,
researchers reported March 13.
The drug, called desiclovir, is not
likely to be a treatment for acquired
immune deficiency syndrome, but Dr.
Deborah Greenspan of the University of
California·San Francisco said
researchers want to see if it could help
prevent someone with the AIDS virus
from developing the deadly disease.
"All of this is quite speculative, but I
think you could say we're opening up
some very promising avenues for
research," Greenspan said at a meeting
of the International Association for
Spring breakers
Fear AIDS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (UPl)-The
scene is the same-college students
from the North soaking up sun and suds
on Florida's beaches-but the fear of
AIDS apparently has ushered in a time
of less sexual promiscuity.
Although the collegians said in a
recent poll that warnings about
acquired immune deficiency syndrome
had not dampened the party atmos·
phere of the annual 350,000-student pilgrimage
to Daytona Beach, most
admitted the AIDS epidemic has made
them less promiscuous this year.
"You don't go around jumping
anyone you want to, like last year," said
Ric Arcadi, a sophomore at Mercyhurst
College in Erie, Pa.
To help combat the spread of AIDS
during spring break, a Catholic priest in
the spring break mecca of Fort Lauderdale
undertook a beachfront "safe sex"
campaign to distribute condoms and
pamphlets to college students. This
action fo llowed Surgeon General C.
Everett Koop support of the use of condoms
to fight the disease.
The ma kers of Trojan condoms, in a
stepped-up promotional campaign following
Koop's report, said they also
planned to pass out samples and litera
ture this week at Daytona Beach.
Students surveyed by The Orlando
Sentinel seemed to agree with Koop.
"We're worried about it,'' said Gina
Johnson, a sophomore at Old Dominion
University in Norfolk, Va. "You can get
it so many ways."
"We've heard it over and over, 'If you
go to Florida (for spring break), don't
pick up any diseases,"' said Nancy Neilson,
another sophomore at Old Domin·
ion.
Brian Fierro, a junior at the State University
of New York Maritime College,
the Bronx, said it was tougher this year
to grt women to dance in bars. But he
also said he and his friends were being
more selective in seeking dates.
As an a lternative to using condoms to
fight AIDS, a Volusia County Christian
group called The Spring Break Challenge
is promoting the idea to students
that abstention from sex before marriage
is the best precaution against
AIDS
Challenge spokesman Bernie Yandura
said the students need religion
instead of sun, sex and beer, and that
providing a birth control tool-such as
condoms-to students only encourages
sexual activity.
Dental Research.
Greenspan, an associate cJinical professor
of oral medicine, and her colleagues
have been working with patient
afflicted with hairy leukoplakia (HL), a
whitish patch that appears on the
tongues of people who are infected with
the AIDS virus but who have not been
diagnosed with the disease.
HL is technically considered a form of
AIDS-related complex, and is considered
a marker for later progression to a
full-scale case of AIDS.
Proposed
AIDS-Free
Card Draws
Mixed Reviews
ARLINGTON, Texas (UPl)-Health
counselors and gay community leaders
fear that cards being sold by a Michigan
company, which guarantees that the
bearer has tested free of AIDS and
serious venereal disease, will impart a
false sense of security to those being
tested.
Peace of Mind Inc. earlier this month
said it planned to open an office in the
Dallas and Fort Worth area to perform a
range of tests and sell the warranty
cards at prices between $99 to $649.
AIDS educator Dianne Garcia, who
works with the Oak Lawn Counseling
Center in Dallas, said the program
could give those tested the wrong idea.
She said it takes four weeks to six
months before a person exposed to
AIDS, acquired immune deficiency syndrome,
tests positive.
"If you don't tell people that, they
may not be aware there is a wi ndow of
time where it may actually be just form·
ing the a ntibodies, but not be detectable/'
Garcia said.
Daniel T. Michaud, co-founder of
Peace of Mind Inc., said the card indicates
only that the bearer was free of
disease when tested.
"Now, they must be concerned with
(those sexual partners) they meet since
the date of the test," he said.
The company will test customers at
regular intervals. If results are negative,
the clients will be issued plastic
cards with their photographs, descriptive
information and the date of testing,
he said.
Private physicians and local health
centers offer the same battery of tests.
Michaud said Peace of Mind will perform
two AIDS tests every six months
for $99. The next plan, for $225, tests for
AIDS, genital herpes, gonorrhea and
yeast infections on the first visit, and
then again for AIDS six months later
The deluxe package, for $649,
includes tests for venereal disease every
three months.
Bruce Bernard, director of the hospital
laboratory and vice president of Harris
Methodist-Fort Worth, said tests
alone are worth little without interpretation
by a physician.
"Without the presence of a clinical
confirmation, lab tests are pretty much
a useless venture and a waste of
money," he said.
Craig Hess, volunteer coordinator for
the Dallas Gay Alliance AIDS resource
center, also is skeptical about the program's
worth.
"I question the accuracy of it(testing)
and what people are going to do with the
information once they receive it,'' Hess
said
In a recent experiment, 14 people with
HL were either given desiclovir or a
dummy drug. All eight people treated
with desiclovir experienced completely
or dramatically reduced lesions. No
change was seen in the control group.
Greenspan said the finding was particularly
interesting because HL
appears to be caused by the EpsteinBarr
virus, the agent responsible for
infectious mononucleosis and which is
linked to several cancers. Tissue samples
taken from the patients showed no
presence of EBV after the drug was
administered.
"What is exciting about this study is
that this drug is clearly effective
against Epstein-Barr virus," she said
"What role, if any, this will have in
AIDS I really don't know at this point."
Scientists have speculated that EBV,
as well as other viruses, may be necessary
to cause a person infected with the
AIDS virus to develop the disease.
Greenspan said that if this is the case,
desiclovir may help prevent progression
to AIDS in some patients.
About 90 to 95 percent of adults carry
the EBV virus without becoming ill, but
some apparently develop an unusual
chronic mononucleosis-like syndrome,
in which they experience depression,
lethargy and an inability to concentratf>.
Dr. Gary Holmes. epidemiologist with
the CDC. said he had not seen Greenspan's
research, "but if she's got some-thing
that controls EBV, she's really
got something." He added, however,
that acyclovir, a drug related to des1clovir,
has been shown to be ineffective
in controlling EBV

Phony Personal Ad Brings Hate Mail
By GREG BURKE
CHICAGO !UPl)-Gay men who ans·
wered a phony personal advertisement
discovered that their responses were
being mailed to neighbors and employ·
ers with a hate letter that said: "Avoid
this homosexual at all costs."
An attorney representing two of the
men said the ad may have been placed
by the same person or group that sent
letters to neighbors and families of 150
people who signed a petition condemn·
ing anti·homosexual activities at the
University of Chicago.
Postal inspectors are investigating
the incident, attorney Robert Dachis
said. The University of Chicago said it
is albO cooperating with a poHceinvestigation.
"Whoever typed them is rather
clever," Dachis said Wedne8day.
"There are no overt threats here, and
actually they are worded carefully
enough that there is nothing defama·
tory per se."
The phony ad describing a University
of Chicago student who wanted to meet
other gay men ran about four weeks ago
in the Chicago Reader newspaper. a
weeklv distributed free throughout the
city At least eight men who responded
have been the targets of hate mail,
Darhis Raid.
One of the letter.s sent to a neighbor
said, "~ proof of this individual's
homosexuality, we are including a photocopy
of a letter which he recently
wrote to a R<H'.'alled gay matching adverti
~ ement. [f you are not convinced, call
them up and ask them about it."
Underlined and capitalized at the bottom
of the letter was the statement,
"Avoid this homosexual a t a ll costs."
One of the men who responded works
at a Chicago school. Letters saying he
was homosexual were sent to his neighbors,
landlord and the principal, assistant
principal and teachers at the school.
"!had just moved to Chicago and was
trying to meet new people," the man,
who asked not to be identified, told the
Chicago Tribune. "! responded and
heard nothing. Then last week, my
neighbors started coming to me, showing
me these letters."
Dachis said letters were sent to two
supervisors and a colleague of one of his
client.s. and the other client received a
letter addressed to "resident."
The letter was written on stationery
with the heading "Great White Brother·
hood of the Iron Fist" and marked with
an inverted triangle containing a fist
and a dagger.
A skull and crossbones were at the
bottom of the page with the Latin
words, "Oderint dum metuant," which
roughly translate to "Hate me but fear
me," Dachis said.
A letter to the employer of one of the
gay men said he was a "health threat to
you and your organization," Dachis
said Under the body of the letter were
the words "Friends of the City."
Dachis •aid he suspects the phony ad
waR placed by the same person or group
rei;ponsible for the recent mailing to
neighbors and families of the students
and faculty membens who signed th<'
University of Chicago petition.
The petition condemned anti-gay
activities on campus, induding hate
mail sent to openly gay students and
bumper stickers placed on buildings
tha t said, "Fight AIDS, Cas trate all
Gays."
The Windy City Times, a gay newspaper
in Chicago, warned readers this
week not to give their full name, phone
number, or address when responding to
personal ads.

Star War s or Bust
By Arthur Hoppe
If you already have a headache, there's
no rea8on to read this column. It's about
the administration's current attempt to
reinterpret the Anti-Ballistic Missile
Treaty so that it won't interfere with
Star Wars.
News stories have
detailed the hubbub
this new policy of
"broadly interpreting"
the treaty has
raised in Congress
and with our NATO
allies, but none l
read told me what
the argument was
about.
I finally came across
an account in The Defense Monitor,
a widely respected publication of the
Center for Defense Information in
Washington. Seeing that the fate oflife
on this planet could conceivably hinge
on the issue, I thought I'd do my best to
outlinP it here. Bear with me.
The ABM Treaty was signed by PresidC'nt
Nixon and Secretary Brezhnev in
1972. Its basic purpose was to ensure the
policy of Mutually A8sured Destruction
or MAD-the policy we have relied upon
to ensure nuclear peace, rightly or
wrongly. for the past ·10 vears.
ThuR the trC'aty limits each powC'r to
protl•<·ting either its capital or one mi!'l
silt• site with ARM,-thereby leaving
the reHt of l•nrh rountry rompletely
vulnl•rahll' to incoming enemy missiles.
To furthrr hol,ter MAD, the treaty al"o
limiti-; both us and the Soviet Union to
"no mort• than one hundred ABM
launtht>rs and no more than one
hundn-d ABM interceptor missilet-o."
Most important. both countrieH
agreed undt>r the treaty "not to develop,
test, or deploy ABM systems or compo·
nents which are sea-based, air-based,
space-based or mobile land-based." In
other words, the only missiles that could
be developed, tested or deplo_yed were
land~based missiles in fixed sites.
So what about Star Wars? It is, of
course, a space-based system specifically
forbidden by the treaty. To shoot
down thousands of incoming Soviet
missiles and dummies, it would possibly
require more than a hundred interceptor
missiles. And lastly, it is designed to
defend the entire United States, thus
abrogating MAD, the verj policy the
ABM Treaty was written to ensure.
How then can the administration
"broadly interpret" the treaty to permit
it to go ahead with Star Wars? The
Defense Monitor says the new interpretation
is hinged on the advanced technology
involved, such as laser and
particle beams. Agreed Statement (D)
which accompanied the ABM Treaty
says, "The parties agree that in the
event ABM systems based on other
physical principles .. . are created in
the future, specific limitations on such
systems and their components woulrl be
subject to discussion."
The administration apparently feels
this allows them to create and deploy
any ABM system they want using
"other physical principles"-as long as
they talk about it afterward.
But the Defense Monitor says this
clause "actually makes the Treaty more
strict." It refers only to fixed land-based
missiles using other principles, for
that's the only kind the treaty permits.
And it requires that "specific limita
lions" on even these systems can be
negotiated-certainly before and not
after they are deployed.

So much for Star Wars.
As I pored through all this turgid Ian·
guage and convoluted reasoning, I had
the noble feeling that I was doing my
duty to become a well-informed citizen
in a democracy-the kind of feeling you
get when you wade through a ballot
argument.
But the more I thought about it, the
more sure I became that the administration
would interpret the treaty any
damn way it pleased. Logic had nothing
to do with it. And if for some inconceivable
reason, it was stopped from irrationally
interpreting the treaty, it would
simply break it-just the way it broke
the SALT lI agreement. We don't
observe treaties that no longer serve our
purpose.
So l felt as though I had waded
through all the ballot arguments only to
find that my vote didn't count. And,
more and more these days, it doesn't
seem to. How's your headache?

'Beyond Therapy' May Be Just That
l/eft to right) Tom Conti, Jeff Goldblum, Julie Hagerty, Chris Campion,
Christopher Guest and Glenda Jackson in "Beyond Therapy"
Houston Screens by Bill O'Rourke
Muntrosr VoicE'
o Beyond Therapy
Beyond Therapy?
Well , if you've been reading my
theater columns, you'll know that
Christopher Durang is not my favorite
playwright. Oh, he cooks up a funny
premil"e and a good beginning. He adds
an enjoyable middle that's controversial
enough for several good arguments.
The man simply cannot write an ending.
Sooner or later a revolver is fired,
his idea of a climax. Then. rather than
resolving anything. everything unravels
fairly quickly
However, I can read box office figures
as well as the next man. Durang does
have a following. The production of
Beyond Therapy at Houston's Stages
was quite popular. So one may wonder
. .JC,..;,o.;;.;:11~ ~
what happened with the first movie of
one of his major works.
Jn some ways, the Stages production
was a lot better. Charlotte, the childish
psychologist, was a lot more fun. Twotime
Oscar winner Glenda Jackson is
woefully miscast here. She seems to
miss the point entirely. Everything she
does is RO adult and dignified.
The show involves a bisexual man,
Bruce (JeffGoldblum), who finds a lady,
Prudence (Julie Hagerty), through a
personal ad. He obviously did not clear
the ad with his lover, Bob (Christopher
Guest). Naturally, this upsets Bob.
Rather than accord the lovers' relabonship
the same dignity they would a
marriage, thus being forced to understand
Bob's outrage, the filmmaker's
attitude can be summed in in a quote
from a pre~s release, "Bob, a psychologically
unstable individual intensely jealous
of his live.in lover."
Bob (Christopher Guest), Bruce (Jeff Goldblum) and Prudence (Julie
Hagerty} find themselves in a strange and uncomfortable situation in
"Beyond Therapy"
On stage, Bob was a fruitcake as in
nutso. But, he was no stranger than any
of the other characters. In the movie,
most of the other characters have been
deflated a little, down to basically life
size. It now looks as if Bob has been
singled out for more ridicule than the
rest.
And no longer do Bruce and Prudence
keep visiting a metaphysically empty
restaurant where the waiter is never
seen. The waiter is now threaded
throughout the entire work and his
character changed in ways that might
best remain a surprise. He is played by
Chris Campion, whose boyish beauty
was thought by many to be the only
redeeming value in Polanski's Pirates.
The restaurant and its habitues actually
becomes oneofthemostinteresting
characters. It's now Bruce's own fault
that he is never waited on.
On the other hand, the naturalness
imposed on the script by its new
medium does reign in the worst of
Durang's excesses. This new discipline
does pay off at times.
Director Robert Altman adds some
weirdness of his own, though. For example,
he thought of this as a French-style
farce. So he shot it in France with a
French crew and supporting players.
This story about Yankees whooccasiona11y
wish they could go to Paris now has
the feel of a foreign art film.
I wouldn't be surprised if this film
does eventually do well in art houses.
However, I wonder about its success in
general release. I don't even really
expect it to find a large cult following.
But I've been wrong about Durang's
audiences before.
each killed individually. Both entertainingly
and inventively, each expires for
some specific reason.
Partly because of that, perhaps partly
because of a fairly weak musical score,
the screen is not crammed to bursting
with action . The pace is more natural ,
less frenetic. The aim is for more sus·
pense, more meaningful action .
The sex is very graphic, but only verbally.
The pretty boy does eventually
get his addenda threatened and then
shallowly slashed with some shears.
Then that act is questioned by a mafia
don. But at neithertimedoweevengeta
rear shot.
The plot is not handed to the viewer
on a silver platter, either. You have to
work your own imagination to link ever
ything together at first. I liked the cha!
lenge.
The film's return to conservative
values might make it feel a little oldfashioned,
but I would welcome more
like it. Too many people have lost sight
of what "grat4itous violence" means.

Burt Reynold's latest movie. Heat, is
probably not going to be as big a hit as
Lethal Weapon. That's really sad,
becau~e it's a better-made movie.
The pretty boy who has a twisted psychotic
need to hurt other people is the
villain, not the hero. When he says that
he didn't do anything wrong when he
savagely beat a woman because she's a
whore and it's impossible to be cruel to a
whore, you know not only that his days
are numbered but also that they deserve
to be.
The hero does not glorify in violence.
It is only something that he does well
The necessity of it gives him headaches.
This is the kind of movie where you
should count every bullet. But the filmmakers
don't stop there_ They accord
human lifl' the same honor.

WASHINGTON (UPI)-lt has become
a familiar phenomenon-pretty but
unknown female caught up in national
scandal is noticed by national media,
receives modeling, nude photo and
movie solicitations.
That's what happened to Fawn Hall,
Lt. Col. Oliver North's personal secretary,
as it did to a number of other
women including Rita Jenrette, former
wife of former Rep. John Jenrette of
South Carolina, convicted in the Abs·
cam scandal.
A former model on the local scene des

arrow," Hall toiled in obscurity end now
finds the same organizations that may
have been uninterested in her services
before willing to pay hundreds of thou·
sands of dollars for the privilege of pub·
lishing or promoting pictures of her.
Psychologists attuned to media
trends find nothing surprising about it
at ell and point out several ingredients
that lead to such instant celebrity.
"First of all , beauty is an important
factor," said Dr. Stuart Fischoff, a psychology
profes•or at California State
University at Los Angeles and a screen
writer. "It determines whether you get
convicted of crimes, whether you get
sentenced. It sells papers."
Research has also shown what may
seem obvious: attractiveness attracts.
For instance, one study showed attractive
women in cars stopped because of
flat tires on the West Side Highway in
New York received many more offers of
help than would a homely woman or one
who otherwise does not fit the current
Teenager Runs
Up a $5,000
Phone Bill
OAKLAND, Calif. (UPl)-A chef who
took up two extra jobs to pay for more
than $!),000 in telephone charges from
rallR to pornographic and other 976 service
numbers by his "bored" teenage
son was eventually let off the hook.
Cle•ter Jones, a chef for a San Jose
airport restaurant, received bilJs totaling
$1i,:Ji3.44 that accrued from Dec. 5to
Dec. 24 when his son Kevin, 15, made
hundreds of calls, some for up to 10
hours, to about 20 different pornogra~
phic and other service numh<'rR with a
976 pn•fix.
Although Pacific Bell hn< n policy not

part-tim<' jobs, working90 hours a week ,
to make the payments.
When one of Jones's checks bounced,
Pacific Bell cut off service to his sister,
who had co-signed for his telephone.
The family complained to the Public
Utilities Commission and service was
restored to his sister.
The company, recognizing it had held
Jones accountable against its own policy
in this case, gave him an apology
and cleared his account.
"I'm very sorry to say this, but evidently
this particular case fell through
the cracks," Pacific Bell spokeswoman
Lynn Jiminez said Tuesday, acknowledging
the $5,313.44 mistake.
Kevin Jones, who said he was
unaware the calls carried fees of $2 each
plus toll charges, explained why he
placed the calls: "I was bored."

said.
Witness Rosemary Woods, mature
and a bit stout, who melted into the
background while everyone concen·
trated on the 23 minutes missing from
Nixon's tapes.
"It could play to men's fantasies
about attractive women," Dr. David
Sears of Los Angeles, head of the American
Psychological Association's mass
communications division, said of the
Fawn Phenomenon. "There's a market
for appealing to men's fantasies, just as
there are markets for other things."
Fischoff said men tend to be in posi-tions
of power and decision-making
jobs, so women are more likely to be
targets. If women were in power, he
said, men could find themselves in
Hall's position more often.
But why is she suddenly so interest·
ing to, say, the big modeling agencies.
14 Attractive women are a dime a dozen
in the modeling field," Fisch off said. "If
you're going to sell someone, you have
to have a little sizzle with the steak."
The Iran arms scandal, he said,
"gives her a distinction she didn't have
before."
In addition, said Dr. Michael Broder,
president of the American Psychologi-
"If you're a steam fitter, am I interested."
said Fischoff. "No."
For Sears, who admits to being a bit of
a cynic, it's all a matter of feeding the
media's "voracious appetite.''
"It doesn't seem very complicated
here. You have a big scandal and a
good·looking woman. Put the two
together and you've got a good story for
a few days," he said .

More LaRouche Followers
Rounded Up by the Feds
By Thomas Ferraro
LEESBURG, Va. (UPl)-Nine followers
of political extremist Lyndon
LaRouche, including a key aide, were
arrested Tuesday night at sites near his
fortress headquarters on charges of
bilking victims out of millions of dollars
in a scheme to raise money for affiliated
groups.
The roundup, the third in six months
involving LaRouche adherents in rural
northern Virginia and elsewhere
around the country, was prompted by
an indictment handed up March 3 in
New York charging 15 LaRouche followers
with crimes ranging from fraud
to grand larceny.
LaRouche's cult-like political organization
has been under investigation in
recent months by federal, state and
local law enforcement agencies. The
inquiries have generally focused on
fund-raising activities.
On Oct. 6 a federal grand jury in Boston
capped a two-year probe by indicting
10 La.Rouche associates on charges
of credit-card fraud and obstruction of
justice for allegedly making unlawful
withdrawals from accounts of contributors.
On the same day, about 300 federal,
state and local law officers seized two
truckloads of financial records from
LaRouche headquarters, prompting a
Loudoun County Grand jury on Feb. 17
to indict 16 LaRouche followers and five
LaRouche-affiliated groups on charges
of state securities fraud.
Those individuals and groups were
accused of using false and misleading
promises to solicit about $30 million in
SPECIALIZING

loans nationwide from about 3,000 peo·
pie. most of them elderly.
LaRouche himself has not been
named in any of the indictments.
Last fall, LaRouche, who lives in a
heavily fortified, $1.3 million estate outside
Leesburg, vowed to defend himself
against any arrest, but later said if
charges are brought he would surrender
peacefully.
Le.Rouche, 64, a four-time presiden·
tial candidate, and his followers have
denounced the previous grand jury
indictments as unfounded political
harassment and part of a conspiracy by
the White House and the Kremlin.
Lt. Terry McCracken of the Loudon
County sheriffs office said that, acting
on the New York indictment, 16 law
officers arrested nine people Tuesday
night at their homes and LaRoucheaffiJiated
businesses near their leader's
heavily fortified and guarded headquarters.
David Fish low, a spokesman for New
York Attorney General Robert Abrams,
said arrest warrants also were to be
issued against four people in New Jersey,
one in Illinois and one in California.
The New York indictment, handed up
March 3, was not to be unsealed until
Wednesday, but was made known to
reporteris in Virginia on Tuesday night.
Fishlow said the New York charges
stem partially from information
gathered by the grand jury in Virginia.
The suspects arrested Tuesday night
were identified as Edward Spannaus,
43, LaRouche's 1984 presidential campaign
treasurer and now one of his legal

George Canning, 36, Linda de Hoyos,

They were cited with a total of 42
counts involving charges ranging from
conspiracy to fraud, the fraudulent sale
of securities and grand larceny.
Fishlow said the defendants are
accused of "borrowing money that they
never intended to repay. They signed
promissory notes dating back to 1979
that were never repaid."
The Loudon County sheriff's office
issued a statement saying prospective
victims of the alleged fraud were contacted
at airports or shopping malls by
La.Rouche volunteers, then received
follow-up telephone calls or visits by the
defendants, who often sought dona·
lions.
"When donations were no longer
forthcoming from a victim the defendants
would ask for the loans at abovemarket
interest rates to be secured by
promissory notes,'' the sheriffs statement
said.
"Though interest to the loans were
sometimes paid, payments were irregu
lar and checks often bounced either
because they were stopped or because
funds were insufficient to cover them,"
the statement said.
LaRouche has zig-zagged across the
political spectrum during the past two
decades. At different times he has been
called ultra right and ultra left. He has
called the Queen of England a drug
dealer and Henry Kissinger an agent of
influence of the Soviet Union, and has
accused the International Monetary
Fund of mass murder by spreading
AIDS through its economic policies.
His followors generally belong to the
National Democratic Policy Committee,
a name similar enough to the Democratic
National Committee to cause
concern by the larger party and confusion
among voters.
Judge Lets
Sexual 976's
Stay Alive
AUSTIN (UPl)-A state judge Tuesday
temporarily blocked enforcement of a
Public Utility Commission order allowing
Southwestern Bell Telephone to
drop service to two firms that provide
live, sexually explicit messages to
callers.
Travis County District Judge Joseph
Hart granted a temporary restraining
order sought by Omniphone Inc. and
Audio Five Inc., which provides the service
in four Texas cities.
Bell contended the companies-by
providing the messages through the
"Dial 976" exchange-violated their
service agreement with the telephone
company.
But lawyers for the two companies
argued that disconnecting the message
service denied their clients' constitutional
rights to free speech.
Bell bills and collects payments for
companies that use the 976 service,
which is available in Texas only in
Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth and San
Antonio.

Wants to
Redefine AIDS
By Joe Parham
ATLANTA (UPI}-Federal health officials,
saying statistics show 10 percent
of AIDS cases go unreported, have proposed
a new definition of the deadly disease
that will cause the number of
reported AIDS cases to increase
sharply.
The revised definition is contingent
on the reactions of state health departments,
epidemiologists and other
health·watch organizations, hut a spo·
kesman for the national Centers for Disease
Control said the proposal is
common with new diseases.
"We hope this expanded definition
will be adopted for national reporting
purposes by the Council of State and
Territorial Epidemiologists at their
May meeting in Santa Fe, N.M.," said
Dr. Tim Dondero, chief of the surveillance
and evaluation branch of the
AIDS program at the CDC.
The CDC currently excludes people
who have been diagnosed by physicians
as having AIDS, but who have not been
diagnosed with a laboratory biopsy test.
"Studies have shown that between 10
and 15 percent of AIDS patients have
been diagnosed through clinical rather
than laboratory methods and they
aren't included in our AIDS figures,"
Dondero said.
"We've gotten a lot of input through
clinical physicians who deal a lot with
AIDS and also through public health
specialists in heavy AIDS areas."
Dondero said the revised definition of
AIDS could increase the number of
reported AIDS cases in the United
States by 20 percent.
"This doesn't mean there is suddenly
going to be X-number more people suddenly
having AIDS," he said. "It's just
that there are more people out there with
AIDS than we officially count because
of our current definition of the disease."
The new definition would add 6,500
cases of acquired immune deficiency
syndrome to the 32,825 cases reported to
the CDC as of last Monday, a spokesman
said.
The revised definition will include
two more diseases known to be associated
with the AIDS virus infectionthe
Dementia complex, a deteriorating
infection of the brain, and the wasting
syndrome, a chronic duration of fevers,
diarrhea and appreciable weight loss in
people with AIDS virus infection.
The most common opportunistic
infection attacking AIDS victims is
pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, a
parasitic infection of the lungs. Of the
32,825 AIDS cases, 21,203 of them have
or did have that infection.

Bishops to Warn Pope of Gay Protest
By Paula Butturini
VATICAN CITY (UPI)-A group of
American bishops met with Pope John
Paul !! Wednesday to brief him on his
upcoming United States trip, which
some clergymen say may spark protests.
As is customary, the Vatican released
no details of what was said during the
private papal audience, which also was
attended by a small group of senior Vatican
officials.
A Vatican statement said only that
the meeting was called to discuss plans
for the papal visit and gave "the parlici·
pants an opportunity to exchange information
and views on the pastoral visit
and its potential for fostering the life of
the church in the United States."
U.S. delegates declined to reveal spe·
cifics of their talks, but Archbishop
John May of St. Louis said the meeting
wrnt "fine."
Tuesday night May said the group
planned to tell the pope about the possi·
bility of protests during his visit, ache·
duled for Sept. 10· 19.
May, president of the U.S. bishops
conference, said he expected the topic of
possible protests-especially by ga
rights groups in San Francisco-to ·
discussed.
"It would be a real disservice not to,"
May said. "I'm sure we'll discuss how
best to react to possible problems."
Gay rights groups have promised to
protest the papal visit to demonstrate
their dissatisfaction with a Vatican document
issued last October that labeled
all homosexual acts ''an intrinsic moral
evil."
The U.S. delegation is composed of20
American prelates, including the
bishops of eight of the nine clioceses
John Paul will visit next fall. Bishop
Ernest Unterkoefler of Charleston, S.C.,
could not attend because of a schedule
conflict, the Vatican said.
The group was to meet twice a day
Wednesday and Thursday and once
again early Saturday with Vatican officials
involved in organizing the tour.
John Paul was expected to attend only
Wednesday's first session and then
lunch with the group after their meet·
ings ended Saturday.
May said the group had prepared a
slide show for John Paul to accompany
their oral reports but that Vatican officials
had asked them to skip the visual
presentation.
During the tour John Paul will visit
Miami, Columbia, S.C., New Orleans,
San Antonio, Phoenix, Ariz., Los
Angeles, Monterey, Calif., San Fran·
cisco and Detroit.
ArchbiHhop Edward McCarthy in
Miami, where the papal visit begins
Sept. 10, said March 15 he would stress
the Florida church's role in helping set·
tie two major waves of Cuban refugees,
plus a minor wave of Haitian refugees.
The bishops were expected to respond
during the trip to criticisms of laxness
in U.S. Catholicism. The rift between
the U.S. church and the Vatican was
apparent this month when the Vatican
condemned all artificial techniques of
conception, such as test-tube babies.
Experts quickly predicted rank-and.file
Catholics would largely ignore the ban.

this opportunity in a very helpful way to
discuss what is happening in the United
States," said McCarthy.
McCarthy discounted suggestions
that the Pope's American visit would be
a "disciplinary" one aimed at driving
home the points of fidelity and obedience
to the church.
"Now, as a father, he will want to
clear up ambiguities about where he
stands, and he'll sometimes repeat some
church teachings," McCarthy said.
"But I don't imagine him scolding."
The Vatican was criticized last year
when it stripped the Rev. Charles Curran
of his right to teach theology at the
Catholic University of America becauEe
of his liberal beliefs on sexual matters.
Last year the Vatican transferred key
powers from Seattle Archbishop Ray·
mond Hunthausen to an auxiliary
bishop, for Hunthausen's alleged lack
of firmness.
"The bishops are worried that if Hunthausen
was picked off, they might be
too," said the Rev. Richard McCormick,
a theology professor at Notre Dame
University.
"They think maybe the Vatican may
be getting one-sided information. It's
time to respond to that and give a
broader picture."
