Regent wants talks on Soviet chemical use The Michigan Daily-Thursday, November 19, 1981-Page 3 PIRGIM directory 11sts area doctors By MIKE McINTYRE University Regent Deane Baker called yesterday for a major sym- posium to be held in Ann Arbor to discuss allegations that the Soviet Union has developed and used chemicals and toxin warfare for the last 20 years in Yemen, Laos, and Afghanistan. Citing passages from Yellow Rain, a recent book by Sterling Seagrave that traces Soviet use of chemical and biological warfare in Asia, as well as recent editorials in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, Baker noted that if such allegations were true, the Soviet Union would be in direct violation of numerous international agreements prohibiting the use of bacteriological and toxin weapons. BAKER MADE his remarks in a speech delivered yesterday to about 40 members of the University Civic Club. Baker, a Republican, is con- sidering running for the U.S. Senate seat from Michigan in 1982. He said yesterday he would not become a candidate if Gov. William Milliken decided to seek the party's nomination. "Perhaps the most important question of our age is 'can we trust the Soviet Union to negotiate and live by international agreements which will reduce armaments and build a framework for lasting peace?'" Yellow rain is the term used for the poisonous substance because it reportedly is a yellow powder drop- ped from airplanes and helicopters. Recently discovered samples show yellor rain to be a fungus-made toxin of a type known as trichothecenes. ACCORDING TO experts, a dose, as small as 0.1 mg/kg is fatal, making the poisonous substance more potent than cobra venom. The, toxin causes excessive itching, bleeding from every body opening, and death within an hour. "One is reminded of three other similar events over the last five decades which demonstrate man's inhumanity to man, as well as civilized society's ability not to con- front gross human tragedies at the time they occur," Baker said, referring to Joseph Stalin's order in the 1920s and '30s to kill off the Kulakh peasant group, the holocaust in Adolph Hitler's wartime Ger- many, and the 2 million Cambodians who were killed after the American forces withdrew from southeast Asia. Baker said in each of these cases, the response from, the Western democracies was limited and ex- traordinarily subdued, adding that the institutional church in the west remained silent regarding the atrocities. Westen democracies and the in- stitutional church must not remain Baker .. . wants chemical warfare issue addressed silent on the issue of yellow rain, Baker said. "The. issues raised by the United States government, author Seagraves, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal are of the most serious nature and affect the well being of our society and other societies into the foreseeabole future," Baker said. "'Therefore, it seems appropriate that here on the campus of the University of Michigan, that these issues be raised so that those who have an interest in the future of American-Soviet relations can examine, investigate, reflect, and discuss these issues in their most profound ramifications," Baker added.

Although the pursuit of the cheapest frozen greenbeans or the most economical -microwave oven often is draining and laborious, the least expen- sive hernia operation is right at your fingertips. Want to find out if your potential physician speaks Chinese? Encourages circumcision? Removes warts? Ever wonder where your doctor went to medical school, or with what hospital he or she is affiliated? THE WASHTENAW County Medical Services Directory, available begin- ning tomorrow at most Washtenaw County bookstores, grocery stores, and pharmacies, provides this information on community health services. The free directory contains an alphabetical list of Washtenaw County general prac- titioners, general surgeons, internal medicine personnel, obstetricians, gynecologists, optometrists/op- thamologists, pediatricians, dentists, and psychiatrists. The volunteers and staff of the Public Interest Research Group in Michigan, along with community residents and organizations, compiled the directory from physicians' responses to questionnaires. The directory represents 35 percent of the Washtenaw County physicians who completed the survey. IN ADDITION TO names, addresses, office hours, and phone numbers, the free directory includes a physician's educational background, fees for various procedures, special services, hospital affiliation, health insurance in- formation, and even answering service availability. Some doctors wrote additional com- ments, such as how often the physicians return calls to patients, or whether the" doctors allow patients to read their medical records. "We don't grade any doctor, we just let people know what's out there," ex- plained Pirgim Intern Wendy Eichen. "This ?directory is an instrumental and crucial step in getting additional medical information into the com- munity," PIRGIM Director Rick Levick said. "A lot of information is available, but people don't know where to get it. Here it is in one neat package." A COMPLETE glossary of relevant terms, from abortion to board-certified to prophylaxis, runs along the bottom of the 19-page booklet. Descriptions of community hospitals, clinics, and health organization help the -patient choose the most suitable care center. Although PIRGIM does not en dorse any one hospital over another, it provides criteria upon which to judge a hospital.. The directory also contains recom- mended schedules of immunizations for infants and children. One section ex- plains the signs and symptoms of child abuse, and'tells where to write for more information. The "Patient's Bill of Rights," developed by the American Hospital Association, and usually found only on hospital walls, is listed in its entirety. It emphasizes the "overriding concern for the patients, and, above all, the recognition of his/her dignity as a human being." PLANS FOR THE directory began two years ago, with an original grant from CETA to fund the project. PIRGIM hired Stephen Bergey, a University graduate of the School of Natural Resources, as a research organizer. Dr. Edward Linkner, a Washtenaw County internist, compiled the medical information, and developed the questions for the physicians' sur- veys. "Dr. Linkner offered his services out of the goodness of his heart. He took a lot of his own time and offered it to the students," Levick said. The CETA grant expired shortly before the final printing of the booklet.
