The World Health Oranizalion reported Monday that progress against TB, a contagious diseases of the lungs and other organs, has "come to an abrupt hall" in some industrial countries, like the United States.

Furthermore, the number of reported TB cases have almost doubled in some cast and central African nations over the last four to five years, WHO said. Currently, about 8 million people annually develop" new cases of TB. About 20 million people worldwide have active cases of TB, and another 1.7 billion arc TB carriers. TB is caused by airborne bacteria, called mycobacterium tuberculosis, which arc coughed up by an infected person and inhaled by the healthy. The bacteria settle in the lungs, where the immune system atlacks them, forming abscesses.

From there, the bacteria can seep into the blood stream and attack other organs. The initial TB infection may be so slight that a healthy person may have no symptoms. Yet the bacteria remain in the body, dormant, until years later when the immune system is weakened by old age or disease. "Countries with the highest rates of HIV (AIDS virus) infection and high numbers of TB carriers arc recording explosive rates of TB," said Dr. Arata Kochi of WHO, explaining that people whose immune systems are crippled by the virus arc more susceptible to TB.

WHO estimates about one-third of ihc csiimatcd 8 million to 10 million people infected with HIV worldwide arc also infected with the bacteria that causes TB. "It is becoming a parallel epidemic and it is this trend lhat has public health officials worried," said Dr. Hiroshi Nakajima, WHO's director general. The dual-infection problem appears worst in parts of Africa, where an estimated 2.4 million people are infected with both HIV and TB. About 300,000 people in Latin America arc thought to be similarly'infected; 200,000 in Asia and 150,000 in the United States and other industrial nations.

In developed nations, most TB deaths occur among the elderly, ethnic minorities and immigrants. "Our biggest problem is implementing drug therapy and getting all infants vaccinated against TB," Nakajima said. "The missing ingredients are money, a sense of urgency and an adequate medical infrastructure in the poorest countries." The only currently available vaccine for tuberculosis works best in newborns. Several other vaccines, however, arc under development. TB can be effectively treated by a scries of antibiotics lhat specifically attack and destroy turbcrculosis bacteria.

The treatment is a long one, with the patient taking medicine orally every day from six months to a year. Cost of drug therapy, which is best given while the patient is in a hospital, is about $250 per patient. from a close tie now. The accent is on togetherness and sharing.

pleate add tax. Classified Cralta, 16684 P.O.Box 1000 Bixby, OK 74008-1000 By STEVEN J. GORMAN WASHINGTON (UPI) President Bush signed into law a bill to compensate hundreds of American civilians whose health and lives were scarred by radiation in the name of national security during the Cold War. The measure, signed on Monday, authorizes a $100 million trust fund to pay damage claims to people who developed cancer and other ailments as a result of exposure to fallout from open- air atomic weapons tests in Nevada or radioactive dust they breathed while mining uranium for nuclear bombs. The fallout victims, also known as the "downwinders," would be eligible for individual payments of $50,000, and the miners, many of them Navajo Indians, could receive $100,000 each.

For cases in which would-be beneficiaries already have died, their families or estates can qualify for compensation. However, no claims actually can be paid before Congress passes a companion appropriations bill to establish the trust fund. The Justice Department is to administer the claims. The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act-received final congressional approval Sept. 27, capping a 12-year battle by the downwinders and uranium miners to win compensation, first in federal court and then on Capitol Hill.

The courts, while finding the government negligent in exposing unwitting citizens to unsafe levels of radiation, ruled the government is Immune from, such lawsuits and lhat compensation was a matter for Congress to address. In the bill that ultimately emerged, Congress "apologizes on behalf of the nation" to individuals who were Free Flu Shots For Miners Available At Altoona Hospital ALTOONA Altoona Hospital is offering the flu vaccine free to miners, former miners and their spouses a program supported by the Coal Workers' Chronic Respiratory Disease Program of the State Health Department, Coalworkers are advised to have the vaccine annually for adequate protection; exposure to coal dust increases the risk of flu. Now is the time if you wait until after November (when flu season starts) to get your shot, it will be too late. But be aware: While the vaccine will protect against flu (one shot provides protection within two weeks and lasts until spring), it doesn't prevent the common cold and other viruses. Vaccinations are available by appointment during October and November.

To register, call the Altoona Hospital Coalworkers Program at 814-946-2853. "involuntarily subjected to increased risk of injury and disease to serve the national security interests of the United States." Bush, signing the legislation before departing on a two-day campaign swing through 15 states, called the bill "fiscally responsible" and said it was "the result of close cooperation between the administration and Congress." "This legislation establishes a compensation system in the executive branch that can be administered efficiently and permit eligible claimants to receive compensation without the expense and delay of traditional litigation," Bush said. The president himself offered no apology to the victims of the radiation, but said, the "compassionate payments would fairly resolve" their claims. Congress previously has enacted measures to compensate Marshall Islands residents for damage caused by U.S. nuclear weapons tests and to provide disability to U.S.

servicemen exposed to nuclear fallout in Nevada and the Pacific. Last week, the government issued its first batch of $20,000 checks to aging Japanese Americans who were held in internment camps during World War U. Those payments were made under a reparations program signed into law more than two years ago. The administration had long shown reluctance to support legislation to recompense civilian downwinders and uranium miners. The Justice Department dropped its objections to the bill only after Congress adopted provisions to account for the victims' age, smoking habits and alcohol consumption in determining who is eligible.

The precise number of payments to be made under the new la is unknown. The measure is expected to settle claims filed on behalf of 500 to 600 residents of Nevada, Utah and Arizona who developed cancer from exposure to radioactive clouds that drifted over their communities in the 1950s and early 1960s. The fallout was produced by above-ground nuclear explosions conducted during that period at the Nevada Test Site, about 65 miles from Las Vegas. Many of the downwinders were children who died of leukemia. Compensation also will be provided for 400 to 500 miners who contracted lung cancer or other respiratory diseases by inhaling radioactive dust while digging uranium ore in mines located in Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming from 1947 until 1971.

TODAY'S QUOTE: "I've been able to get past my past. I think the 20s were hard. Hopefully, by your 30s, you start getting to know who you are." Melanie Griffith WASHINGTON American Legion National Commander Robert S. Turner announced a national plan to assist the families of active duty and reservists now serving as part of "Operation Desert Shield." The centerpiece of the American Legion Family Support Network is a toll-free number 1-800-786-0901 available to family members around the clock. The service uses touch tone telephone technology to route specific problems to American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary volunteers around the country for resolution.

"The 4 million members of the Legion and Legion Auxiliary know what it is like to be away from those closest to them in a time of national crisis," Turner said. "Our service officers and other volunteers know their communities, and know how to get things done there. "It is especially difficult for many of the reservists who have been activated. Often, they do not live near a military base or other facility that is set up to help spouses and children with the details of everyday life." The Legion has a tradition of supporting the concept of the American citizen soldier, and endorses the use of National Guard and Reserve troops to augment U.S. military.

Commander Turner pledged the organization's support to President Bush 'for a plan that will protect U.S. national interests in the Persian Gulf region. Legion and American Legion Auxiliary volunteers will work with family service personnel at military bases and at state headquarters for the National Guard and Reserves to monitor the specific needs in their communities. "We're looking at ideas as simple as a meal at a Post, going all the way to include child care or home repairs," Turner said. "We want these people to know that The American Legion will stand by them when they need that support." The organization will also distribute information on the certain protections provided to reservists called to active duty.

"Most companies comply with the law, and others will comply with their hearts," the commander said. "But, there are rights and benefits that are provided to every military person, and those who don't spend full time on active duty might not get what they have coming to them." Recognition of private companies that "go the extra mile" for reservists is also planned. "For years we have been promoting the idea that veterans are the best employees. Some of the companies that take our advice might have a number of reservists as employees. We want to thank those companies who take their responsibilities seriously enough to go beyond what's required, and encourage their employees to serve their country," the Legion commander said.

Turner, the third Vietnam veteran to lead the Legion, was elected at the organization's 72nd National Convention in Indianapolis on Aug. 30.
