The Michigan Daily-Thursday, October 9, 1986-Page 7 Humans subj ects LOS ANGELES (AP)-Genetic engineering was used on humans for the first time, as far is known, by a UCLA doctor who tried to cure a fatal inherited blood disease by adding a new gene to the living cells of two patients, university officials said yesterday. The historic and controversial procedure was carried out in Israel and Italy by Dr. Martin Cline. It was met with official concern that he was moving too quickly from the animal experiments that won scien- tific praise last April. THE RESULTS of the procedure were reportedly inconclusive. After three months there was no in- dication the new genes, inserted into defective cells of the patients' bone marrow, were producing normal blood cells. Both patients were reported alive and doing well, although the treatment apparently had no effect on the disease, called beta thalassemia major. Victims are unable to produce normal hemoglobin, a blood molecule that carries the oxygen needed by all tissues. UCLA's human subjects committee on July 22 rejected Cline's proposal to try the treatment on campus with victims of sickle cell anemia, an inherited blood disorder that primarily affects blacks. THE REJECTION "was not because of risk," said Albert Barber, UCLA vice chancellor for research. "It was because the committee felt there was a need for doing a bit more animal research for validation of the scientific basis of the experiment." Cline won acclaim last spring when he and his UCLA colleagues successfully transferred new genes into bone marrow cells of living mice. He said then, "I would say clinical human trial could begin in three years." The two patients were treated about three months later. The procedure, as developed in animal research, involves removing a small amount of bone marrow from the patient. An appropriate gene is snipped from cells from another source. 4 presents OCT 9-12, 8pm MAJINI I OCT.12 2pm StUN V 04 0c of gene transfer 0r *L*EADERS OPPOSE ANTI-SEMITISM French denounce atacks R4OBUF PA 1, IRI(K . "' .: ,. b:i L I canterburq loft PARIS (AP)-President Valery Giscard d'Estaing and his premier took the offensive yesterday to denounce attacks against Jews and proclaim the ity of France in opposing racism and anti-Semitism. Accused by his critics of keeping silent too long, Giscard d'Estaing in a five-minute television address reassured France's 650,800 Jews that the nation will stand united to "face the threat that is throwing us back to the hideious germs of intolerance, terrorism and racism." Premier Raymond Barre told a eked National Assembly "the entire rench. nation stands beside . . . our Jewish compatriots in these tragice circumstances." BARRE S'ATHINGLY denounced leftist politicians and commentators who have accused the government of dragging its heels in the fight against anti-Semitic terror, saying, "These allegations are defamatory and scan- dalous." The top-level statements came as police Eniounced their first lead in the investigation of a bomb explosion Friday that killed four people outside a Paris synagogue. They said they had identified the owner of a motorcycle that was driven by a man who witnesses said placed a package outside the synagogue minutes before the powerful bomb exploded. THEY DID NOT release his name or other details. Denouncing the synagogue bombing as odious, Giscard d'Estaing declared, "The criminal acts bring a painful echo to the Jewish community of past even- ts, of persecutions, deportations-aiidthe systemataic massacre organized by the Hitler regime. k . "Concerning the French Jews, who are French among other French, my unchanging position and concern is that they should feel they are treated as all, others while conserving their religion and personality as other French com- munities have done." THE FRENCH PRESIDENT said he discussed the attack in depth during a morning meeting of his cabinet. He said he told Interior Minister Christian Bonnet, who has been called upon by Jewish organizations to resign in the face of the rising anti-Semitism, to convene a meeting Friday of representatives from groups opposed to racism. The groups would examine proposals for safeguarding French Jews. Barre, in his speech to the assembly, cautioned against reacting to violence with violence and rejected charges that the government had not done all it could to prevent acts of terrorism. THE POLICE HAVE been criticized for failing to protect Jewish schools and other institutions that have come under attack in recent weeks, as well as for not finding those responsible for the synagogue bombing. Two police union officials have reported that some 38 police officers are known members of neo-fascist organizations. A group calling itself the ' Jewish Brigade claimed responsibility for throwing acid in the face of an 84-year- old man after breaking into his apar- tment. In a telephone call to the Agence France Presse news agency, the group identified the man, Charles Bousquet, as an official of a neo-Nazi newspaper. He was seriously injured in the attack. THE SON OF the victim said his father had never been involved in anti- Semitic activity and that the attackers apparently confused him with a fascist of the same name.

If I the full cache is confirmed,. the treasure would exceed by almost, 100 times the $40 million record cited by the Guiness Book of Records for recovery of undersea treasure. The previous record was taken from the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Concepcion off the Dominican Republic in 1978. SOURCES CLOSE to the Tokyo- based organizers of the operation, Nihon Maritime Development Co., said "more than 10 platinum-looking ingots" lready had been salvaged in one dive to the wreck. The company last month said it pulled out a single 22-pound platinum ingot worth $154,000. Japanese business tycoon Ryoichi Sasagawa, who financed the $15 million hunt for the ship which sank three quar- ters of a century ago, said 16 additional ingots were lifted in a second dive, but he did not say what they were made of. The company said divers would sear- ch the ship thoroughly in the next few days and retrieve the rest of the cache. Divers have confirmed at least 30 more ingots are lodged in the 8,524-ton war- ship, Nihon said. THE VESSEL is 200 feet below the surface five miles off the Japanese island of Tsushima in the Korean Strait. The cruiser sank during the Russo- Japanese War of 1904-1905 and it was e beig believed to have been a "floating bank" used by Czar Nicholas II during the disastrous naval campaign. Officials said it carried 16 platinum bars, 48 gold bars and about 5,000 poun- ds of British gold coins. THE TREASURE'S current market value is $3.8 billion, Nihon said. The Soviet Union claims it is the owner of the ship but Sasagawa has said he would consider returning it only if Moscow returned four Russian-held North Pacific islands claimed by Japan.ss Foreign Ministry officials said the d, raised basis of Moscow's claim was weak but maintained Sasagawa could claim the ship only after it had been proved that neither Japan nor the Soviet Union owned it. Nihon officials said they would reveal their new finds at a news conference Saturday on Iki, Island in western Japan, near the exploration site. Past attempts to retrieve the Nakihimov treasure failed because of poor salvaging technology. Sasagawa reportedly spent $15_ millio to acquire a sophisticated deep-sea research craft for the operation. 1l1nIt u1991lll1114914 1911U n11 11 111941911141911111191 11 9911111l1/11tt0 M4119914 1 t994t99449t4I~f 1 11 11194144t49111rl11,94tln lill ll 9f1911'l9nlf1 94 91/ !01191 1110 11 Itll .I 141111114 .I0 11144t441t1t144494449t4l14tt11111t11t4 1444l111,1111144u1111119414 111141t1 l011111 Ili111 i111u 1111111 11rn ..111111 iunlfli 101 114 1114if 911 11114994 0 /1111111 41144 49411 11 11 I 49 11 4nilll0144414 1144444494u 110{ 4 14441t11t11 41 4 1111{1411 111 {919 i9if911111 1U I U1 il 1,14111f1011f It 11 f 11 I tJ1 I t494494444444 11444~1111 414{0111191110f111 11 0 11111 Olrl 11{ f11111llu l ll l11fil lt 1111 1111I4 44 111 1 44444444t444t11 flit414 14111 11114 M 4114 0 III l111 4141 4t11111111144 1 441t44I1111144t 110 111444t44t411~ 11144t1144fl111t1 l 11M4199911 11 11, 111 n 111 0011111111111,14,1 001 1111 M tto94 111 it 1111111191111 011110 111111111111111111111111111 1 111 9t1414 1104104141 IM tM 1t 111t 1101 114t911149111 111111 IUIU11111111111U 1111 4111 1 991111t11111l f 1111 1111111111111111111011111101111111111914 9 0,4111111111111111111111r 10110 411 141111 I149t44t14111411t11191111.1 99.... 1991 49919 11, 110 10 11111 1111111111 II IliUlf 1111111111111 111 111 111 i11111f11 191111 99441111 91 9 iii ii11U1111 I 1111111111 101011 1111 i 110 t111 994494111144 411114 ItItl 1 91 911 99 l 199 99119 l i f~ 11111 1 110111111 iI~f 11110It0 t 1911011191919 Y1111114491 11111994999 49911141111 111 110 111101111....llti1111f101111111111 I14 I1{f 1111t 11ll011011111 1 1199111 111119111 1111 101111i I01111111111111f111110,1 11111111114 l1111914l11o1141 11 1 49499 119 11101191491111 111111fl~ I1f I !111 110 0111111II 19 f 11 tl19111994419 1 1111 0 44911 0 { 99l9199l1=999 1110 411499449 ti.

The hangings were taken as a grim warning from the new military regime that terrorists are in mortal danger if they resume their ac- ivities. One of the condemned men, a leftist, put the rope around his own neck. and shouted, "Damned be colonialism. Damned be fascism," a Turkish newspaper reported. 4 SOURCES SAID THAT, according to Turkish tradition, male members of the immediate families of the condemned men watched their relatives die. The terrorists' lawyers, the prosecutor, and Moslem clergyman also watched as rightist Mustafa Pehlivanoglu, 22, and leftist Necdet Adali, 24, were hanged inside Ankara's maximum security prison. Leftist-printed leaflets pledging cn- tinued violence arrived in newspaper offices yesterday. Terrorism, which a month ago was claiming two Turkish lives a day, has abated since a military coup led by Gen. Kenan Evren toppled Prime Minister Suleyman Demirel and dissolved Parliament Sept. 12. Forty- - two people have died in political violen- ce since then. THE EXECUTIONS were the latest in a string of military actions aimed at. curbing terrorism. So far the generals * have: " Banned nearly all trade union ac- tivity and rounded up thousands of union activists, most of them con- sidered radical rightists or leftists. * Greatly expanded martial law powers and threatened increased cen- sorship of the press. " Purged Istanbul and Ankara municipal offices and professional societies of all leftists. e Rounded up and continued to hold as many as 75. former lawmakers associated with the extreme left or right. * Taken into custody virtually all of the known terrorists from both left and right who have not managed to flee the country or go underground. A Turkish official said yesterday the nation's jails cannot accommodate any more prisoners. More than 15 people are on death row in Turkey, and their hangings are expected soon.
