Sinai Starts Education Drive Against Tay-Sachs Disease
A mass mailing appeal to
the Detroit Jewish commu-
nity 'to enlist in the war on
Tay-Sachs, the infant killing
disease, is on its way to 25,-
000 homes in the metropol-
itan area.
The mailing is the first
step in plans to hold a fourth
Tay-Sachs screening program
to uncover carriers of the
dreaded disease which
chooses as its main target
infants born to Jewish cou-
ples of Eastern and Central
European heritage.
The brochures going to 25,-
000 homes give the dates of
the next Tay-Sachs screen-
ing, and urge recipients to
list and phone sever al
friends, and pledge them to
plan on being screened.
Dates of the next Tay-
Sachs screenings are two
consecutive Sundays, Feb.
23 and March 2, from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. at Congregation
Beth Achim, located at 21100
West Twelve Mile Road in
Southfield.
At three previous screen-
ings held in the fall of last
year, more than 2,000 men
and women were tested. Of
these, 67 were proven car-
riers; and one pregnancy
was medically terminated
when testing proved the baby
would have been born with
the disease.
Tay-Sachs is caused by the
enzyme called "Hex A."
Without that enzyme, the
body is unable to break down
fatty tissues which accumu-
late in the brain. —
Babies born with the dis-
ease develop normally their
first six months of life, then
suffer increasing degenera-
tion leading to loss of control
of their bodily functions, co-
ma, blindness and then
death, by the fifth or sixth
year.
"The course of the disease
is irrevocable, and there is
no cure," according to Dr.
Ralph Cash, chairman of pe-
diatrics at Sinai Hospital and
co:chairman of the commu-
nity coordinating committee
of the Tay-Sachs Screening
Program of Metropolitan De-
troit.
"The only way to beat this
disease," he says, "is to
eliminate the chance of oc-
currence. If we could screen
all of the potential carriers
in • the metropolitan Jewish
community--and we estimate
there are 30,000 people who
should be screened—then we
PLO Gets Official
Status from India
Now appearing:

' WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The State Department has
declined to comment on In-
dia's granting full diplomatic
status to the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization.
Formal diplomatic rela-
tions were established in
Beirut where India's Ambas-
sador to Lebanon, S. K.
Singh, and PLO chief Yasir
Arafat signed an agreement'
last Friday. It was the first
accreditation to the PLO
from a non-Arab country.
Until now the PLO repre-
sentative has operated under
the auspices of the Arab
League office in New Delhi.
Singh said the agreement
was based on India's recog-
nition of the PLO as the le-
gitimate representative of
the Palestinian people.

Forewarned, t hey could
guard against the occurence
of Tay-Sachs; and the dis-
ease could be wiped out."
