Lewis ... asks halt to strike WASHINGTON (AP)- High school seniors scored slightly higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test this year, snapping a 19-year decline that has been a per- sistent thorn in the side of the nation's schools. The College Board reported yesterday that the rise in SAT scores taken by 1 million college-bound students was slight-a single point in math and two points on the verbal half of the exam-but consistent with other test improvements. The scores of 467 in math and 426 in verbal remain a far cry from the 502-478 averages that prevailed in 1963 before the downward spiral began. The SAT is scored on a scale of 200 to 800. BUT GEORGE Hanford, the president of the College Board, who announced the Class of 1982 results, said, "This year's rise, however slight, com- bined with last year's holding steady, is a welcome sign for educators, parents and students that serious . . . On September 2.49 you can have a bitI *Weekend every da: efforts by the nation's schools and their students to improve the quality of education are taking effect." The College Board, a non-profit group that sponsors the college entrance exam, also found other evidence that students are hitting the books harder. " Scores on its achievement tests in 15 subjects "rose 5 points to 537, its highest level since 1976 and 10 poin- ts above 1973." " Scores improved on a so-called Test of Standard Written English "for the first time since the introduc- tion of the test in 1975." " "Students took more courses in mathematics and physical science in high school than ever before." " Students' grade point average remained at 3.06, or just above a B, for the third year in a row, down from a high of 3.12 in 1976. Grade inflation was suspected a a prime cause of the higher grade averages. Uprof announces of c arthri Y treatment CHICAGO (UPI)- A University researcher says a chemical produced by the body, known as catalase, may be a cure for diseases like rheumatoid ar- thritis. Dr. Peter Ward, pathology chairman at the University's medical school, told a conference sponsored by the American Medical Association and the University of Illinois this week that catalase is "nature's own protection" against potential damage from hydrogen peroxide, which occurs naturally in cells. HYDROGEN peroxide is part of the torn body's immune system. White blood cells use hydrogen peroxide to kill bac- teria. However, abnormal conditions in the body, caused by diseases like arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, trigger reactions that can make hydrogen peroxide attack the body it- self, Ward said. In an experiment with rats, Ward said he used chemicals to induce severe ri lung damage. When the rats were given catalase before the chemicals were administered, the ill-effects of hydrogen peroxide were blocked, he said. In addition, Ward said he obtained similar results using rabbits and monkeys. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Bendix will meet to halt takeover The Delaware Supreme Court yesterday cleared the way for a special Bendix Corp. stockholders meeting this morning to vote on measures aimed at thwarting Martin Marietta Corp.'s plan to buy a controlling interest in Bendix. But a federal judge in Baltimore indicated he would probably not block Marietta from going ahead with its counter-takeover plan and buying up a majority of Bendix shares after midnight today. U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Young in Baltimore said he would rule this morning on Bendix's request for a preliminary injunction against Marietta's counter-takeover plan. But after a 'two-hour hearing, Young said "I am inclined to deny the motion for a preliminary injunction." Bendix, in filing its suit, contended it's 70 percent ownership interest gives it the right to halt the Marietta counterattack. But Young challenged Bendix attorneys to cite a law that makes Marietta's takeover bid illegal. Thousands to strike in England LONDON- Britain faces widespread disruption today with hundreds of thousands of workers due to walk out in support of striking health service employees. "The strikes are unlawful," Norman Tebbit, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's hardline Employment Secretary declared yesterday as leaders of the 11-million member Trades Union Congress predicted huge support for its nationwide "Day of Action." "The TUC has called for a general strike tomorrow. God knows why. It certainly won't help unemployment," he said in a radio interview. Hours earlier, the government announced unemployment hit a new 5-year record of 3.34 million, or 14 percent in September. The TUC is Britain's equivalent of the AFL-CIO. The protests were called to show solidarity with 750,000 National Health Service workers staging sporadic strikes the past four months. They include a two-hour shutdown of Gatwick and Heathrow airports, one-hour walkouts by 500,000 civil servants, two-hour stoppages of central London buses and an hour delay in starting subway service. In addition, a 24-hour coal walkout is planned, and other possible stoppages threatened. A 1980 law outlawed sympathy strikes. Legislation to take effect late this year allows employers to sue union funds for compensation for illegal strikes. New federal controls set on teamsters pension plan WASHINGTON- The Labor Department and the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund said yesterday they had agreed to new federal controls over the scandal-plagued $3.5 billion fund. They called it a "landmark agreement." The agreement, the outcome of 16 months of often quarrelsome negotiations, will be submitted to U.S. District Judge James Moran in Chicago for approval as a consent decree in a department suit against the fund trustees. The key provision of the decree provides for independent management of the fund assets for at least another 10 years. Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan said the decree does not affect other suits connected with the fund. With 500,000 contributors and pensioners in 33 states, the Central States fund is one of the nation's largest multi-employer pension plans. Koch loses favor outside NYC ALBANY, N.Y.- Edward Koch, one of the most popular mayors in New York City history, is not finding the same sort of adulation outside his frien- dly five boroughs as a gubernatorial candidate. Although polls show him leading Lt. Gov. Mario Cuomo in their battle for the Democratic nomination, the feisty major's campaign apparently has failed to erase some voters' doubts about Koch's pledges to work "for the whole state" as governor. "His perspective on the world comes from looking through the wrong end of a cockeyed telescope that shows New York City sprawled over 98 percent of the globe," wrote the Syracuse Herald-American in endorsing Cuomo. Koch's entry into the race, after Democratic Gov. Hugh Carey said he was not interested in a third term, has heightened the age-old rivalry between Republican and conservative upstate New York and Democratic and liberal New York City. Fact-finder called to end strke Bargainers for both sides in the Detroit teacher strike began the fact- finding process yesterday-a complex procedure that could take as long as four weeks. The 11,000-member Detroit Federation of Teachers has been on strike sin- ce Sept. 13, idling 200,000 students in Michigan's largest and the nation's seventh-largest school district. Teachers so far have refused to accept a school board demand for pay cuts to help wipe out a projected deficit as high as $60 million. School officials said they will have to send layoff notices to hundreds of administrators if the strike continues much longer. About 8,000 non-teaching personnel already have been laid off. Until yesterday, David Tanzman had acted as a mediator attempting to define the issues keeping the two sides from a settlement. Now, his role will change to that of fact-finder. That means he will listen to arguments from both sides before making a non-binding recommendation.
