FDA opposes lifting saccharin ban Washington Post Service WASHINGTON The Food and Drug Administration remains convinced saccharin may cause cancers and will work to ban the sweetener, FDA Commissioner Dr.

Donald Kennedy says. The National Academy of Sciences asked by Congress, to review saccharin policy Friday recommended a new food law that would give the FDA authority to leave saccharin on the market if it found benefits outweigh risks for any part of the population. Kennedy proposed removal of saccharin from foods and drinks as one of his first acts in office. He proposed to allow only over-thecounter saccharin sale, so dieters or diabetics could add it themselves to their foods or beverages. Congress asked by hundreds of voters and the American Diabetes Association to leave the drug in diet foods and drinks declared an 18-month moratorium on the ban and asked the science academy to review all food law and policy, That moratorium ends in May.

KENNEDY said Friday he still is required to ban, saccharin by the 1958 Delaney amendment to the food law. It flatly bars from the food supply any substance that causes cancer in man or animals. However, Kennedy also said he personally considers saccharin unsafe and believes any good food safety law would require saccharin's removal from foods. "Under present law," he explained, "every food additive has to be shown to be safe, and saccharin was removed from our GRAS" generally recognized as safe "list because of questions about its safety." "It is now clear from animal studies that it causes cancer in animals," he said. "On cancer in humans, the evidence is divided But there are other studies in CALVARY TEMPLE Albrechte Columbine GOSPEL CONCERTS with VOICES TRIUMPHANT 7 P.M.

Hayes, Pastor progress, and we'll have to see what MEANWHILE, he said, the FDA probably will propose a much less sweeping change in the food law than those recommended by the science academy panel. In a formal statement distributed at a science academy news conference Friday, Kennedy called the academy panel's position "a useful starting point" for debate, but one "certain to be considered controversial." The panel recommended a thorough overhaul of U.S. food safety policy one that would end what it called the "rigidity" of present law, and give federal regulators discretion to ban, partly ban or approve foods or addivities.

Gas ring hotter than expected PASADENA, Calif. (AP) The Voyager 1 spacecraft, a continuing source of surprises as it speeds toward Jupiter, has startled scientists again by revealing that the enormous planet is ringed by superhot, electrified sulfur particles. The doughnut ring about 240,000 miles planet had been discovered earlier, but Voyager's instruments show it to be amazingly different from what had been suspected, said Donald Shemansky, a scientist from the University of Arizona. "We were surprised right out of our chairs," Shemansky said Friday at a news conference at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Neither the large concentration of sulfur nor the tremendous heat had been seen before, he said.

VOYAGER 1 was within two million miles of Jupiter today and closing rapidly after a journey of 18 months. The spaceship will come within 172,750 miles of the planet Monday before heading for a rendezvous with Saturn next year. NASA said the spacecraft is operating well and the mission is proceeding smoothly. The cameras aboard Voyager 1 are returning increasingly detailed pictures as they scan not only the colorful planet but several of its moons as well. Shemansky said the surprising, sulfur ring, or torus, is perhaps 80,000 and roughly follows the orbit of Io, the second moon out from Jupiter.

The atoms of sulfur and a few other elements apparently are stripped from the surface of Io and fed into the ring. Once inside the ring, where temperatures reach at least 100,000 degrees, the atoms are heated until they break up into electrically charged components, he said. The result is an ionized gas called plasma. Maintaining such high temperatures, he said, would require at least 500 billion watts of power about 1,000 times more than previous data had indicated. Budget amendment suffers a setback WASHINGTON (AP) Supporters of a constitutional convention to draft an amendment requiring a balanced federal budget suffered a setback at the National Conference of State Legislatures.

By a two-vote margin, the conference Friday rejected a resolution urging Congress to establish procedures requiring constitutional conventions to stick to the subjects for which they are called. The resolution's framers said it was not meant to express support or opposition to a proposed convention on a balanced-budget amendment. But the measure was backed by many supporters convention of and a bud ancing opposition was led by legislators who do not favor such a session. ONE ARGUMENT against a constitutional convention is that there is no guarantee it would not embark on a broad revision of the Constitution.
