March of Dimes Cuts Worries Tay-Sachs
PHILADELPHIA (JTA)
— Considerable national
concern was expressed re-
cently when the March of
Dimes announced it is cut-
ting funds for genetic ser-
vice programs, which in-
clude screening, prenatal
evaluation and counseling,
services used in the detec-
tion of Tay-Sachs, an inher-
ited, degenerative disease
which attacks primarily
Jewish babies and results in
their death by age five.
According to a story in the
March 24 edition of the
Jewish Exponent by staff
writer Jane Biberman, Dr.
Laird Jackson, head of the
Tay-Sachs
Prevention
Program, headquartered at
Philadelphia's Thomas Jef-
ferson University, said his
operation will not be af-
fected by the cutback.

Speaking on
THE EXCITEMENT OF OUR

all over the U.S.A. as well as Latin America,

Exponent, explained his
program is funded solely by
the Delaware Valley chap-
ters of the National Tay-
Sachs and Allied Disease
Association, and never re-
lied on March of Dimes sup-
port.
Dr. Eugene Grebner, di-
rector of laboratories of the
Tay-Sachs Prevention
Program, said he believes
the March of Dimes decision
may have more far-
reaching effects.
If the pro-life groups are
responsible for the March of
Dimes withdrawal of sup-
port, and I believe they are,
then their influence
shouldn't be underesti-
mated. Abortion lies at the

rams, as it did in 1970 when
it funded genetic services
