U' study may prove)
that aspirin reduces

By LOU MOORE'
A University study is now
underway which may present
conclusive evidence that aspirin
reduces the threat of recurrent
heart attacks.
The study, called the Aspirin-
Myocardial Infraction Study
(AMIS), will concentrate on the
drug's ability to retard clotting
within blood vessels. It is ex-
pected to take four years and'
is being conducted at 30 medical'
institutions throughout the coun-
try.
DR. HENRY SCHOCH, who
heads the University's AMIS
clinic, expresses confidence the
research will provide "conclu-
sive results." He claims that
previous studies on the relation-
ship between aspirin and heart
attacks "would have had con-
clusive results if they had used
enough patients."
In the AMIS study a total of
4,200 patients will be tested na-
tionwide to satisfy statistical re-
quirements.
Schoch calls heart attacks "the'
big health problem in the U.S.
today." An estimated 1.5 million
heart attacks occur each year
in the country, with over 650,000
deaths resulting, he says. This
is twice the number of deaths
attributed to cancer, and heart
attacks tend to strike more peo-
ple in their productive years
now than in the past.
HERE, THE AMIS project
has attracted about 70 of the
needed 150 volunteers. Accord-
ing to Schoch, there have been
some problems getting suitable
subjects - who must be be-
tween 30 and 69 years old, and
who must have suffered at least
one heart attack in the past five
years.
He explained that many who

Those volunteers who are
found suitable are divided into
two groups. The first group re-
ceives one gram (three tablets)
of aspirin daily, while the oth-
er receives a placebo. The pa-
tients are then monitored and
their health tested periodically.
AS FOR POSSIBLE side ef-
fects of the aspirin, Schoch says
that "stomach problems are the
only problems we expect to
see." However, such problems
are expected to be minor.
"The toxicity of aspirin is also
to be determined," according to
Schoch, in order to weigh the
benefits of long-term therapy
with its risks.
Earlier studies of aspirin in
relation to heart attacks have
been characterized by medical
journals as "promising but in-
conclusive." And the implica-
tions of the present one, should
the results prove conclusive, arek
also uncertain.
'IT IS HARD to say whether
doctors would prescribe aspirin"
to their heart attack patients on
a wide basis, according to
Schoch.
The project is being funded
by the National Heart and Lung
Institute of the U.S. Public
Health Service at an estimated
cost of $16 million. Of this,
$300,000 has been awarded to
the University.
Americans occupied Santa Fe
in 1846 when Gen. Stephen Kear-
ny led troops into the city dur-
ing the Mexican war and was
unopposed.
Oil was discovered in the
southeastern and northwestern

ago.
The others were recaptured
after gunfights in the northern
Basque province of Navarre,
only a few miles from the
French border. One was killed
and two were wounded .
M E A N W H I L E, the
Spanish government finally re-
cognized the army of forgotten
losers from that nation's
bloody civil war thirty-seven
years ago.
With a decree signed by King
Juan Carlos, the new regime
ordered pensions for an esti-
inated 10,000 disabled veterans
from the Republican side. The
winning supporters of Gen.
Francisco Franco have been
getting money since they emer-
ged victorious in 1939.
The latest guerrilla to fall
into police hands was Jose Ig-
nacio Iturbe, a member of the
Basque nationalist guerrilla
group ETA who was captured
this morning with a pistol and
about $380.
POLICE sources said the con-
victs, who escaped through the
prison sewers in Segovia, had
apparently lost their way in
wooded hills straddling the bor-
der in fog and rain after being
driven 200 miles (320 kilomet-
ers) in a van.
The sources said the break-
out seemed to have been pre-
cipitated by the imminent trans-
fer of many of the prisoners to
another jail. They fled wear-
ing only their prison clothes.

rendered to the police without
a fight.

at heavy - handed police treat-
ment of recent anti-government
demonstrations and politicalf
meetings.
A press campaign for an ear-e
ly referendum to approve con-f
stitutional reforms, apparentlyr
stalled by rightwing dissent,
gained pace yesterday.
The daily Arriba, newspaper
of Spain's only legal politicalt
party, the National Movement,
joined the campaign saying that(
the pace and extent of reforms'
should be approved by the peo-f
ple.
WHILE the government was
being pressured for reforms,
some degree of relaxation was
evident yesterday when the re-E
gime recognized the country's
disabled Republican veterans.r
Republican Florencio Duran,1
who for years has been bat-
tling to emerge from his statusr
as a nonperson, said, of the
pension grant "It's late, but it'sI
a great day."
By his estimate, 75 per cent
of the disabled losers - 50,-
000 men - have died while
waiting for the government to
help them. The others have!
limped along selling pencils and1
lottery tickets.

move of the day was hobbling
to the corner newsstand to read
the official gazette that pub-
lished the king's decree.
"I read it thoroughly," he
said. "We still hope for an
equal break. But it says noth-
ing about being retroactive. We
are not disabled as of today.
We have been disabled for
years."
He also noted the decree
failed to mention rights award-
ed the winners such as the pay-
ment of pensions to widows and
families and access to free
medical assistance.
PENSIONS for war veterans
who fought with Spain's long-
time leader were raised by the
right - wing parliament after
Franco's death last November.
But getting fully equal bene-
fits for the men who fought on
the other side may be more
difficult.
A high government official ac-
knowledged yesterday the gov-
ernment decided to grant the
Republican disabled pensions
by decree rather than risk
heated debate in parliament,
where a similar proposal was
reiected in 1972.
"We won't give up the fight,"
Duran said. "We are out to get
our legitimate rights."

The PAP Test.
The Pap test can detect
cancer of the cervix when it's
virtually 100% curable. The
test takes only a few minutes
and doesn't hurt.
. Your doctor takes a sample
of the cells of your cervix that
shed routinely each day. This
sample is easily and pain-
lessly taken.
Your cells are then studied
under a microscope and, if
cancer is present, the micro-
scope will reveal it. Reveal it
in its earliest stage when
chances for cure are greatest.
This test can save your life
because it catches cancer long
before any symptoms appear.
And you won't need a Pap
test for another year.
