Riker and other companies, for example, have been involved in the development of bandagelike patches that deliver drugs slowly through the skin. 6 in chains arrested at Soviet Embassy in the venture was Ortho Pharmaceutical a subsidiary of Johnson It Johnson.

Ortho dropped out of the program recently and 3M is its likely replacement McDonnell Douglas and 3M said they are negotiating an agreement "for the Joint development of space-processed pharmaceutical products which would be marketed and tested through Riker Laboratories, 3M's pharmaceutical subsidiary." Dr. Jerry Robertson, executive vice president of 3M's life sciences sector, said the venture "complements existing programs in biotechnology and therapeutic apheresis (purification)." Ronald Baukol, Riker vice president and general manager, said the drug would "fit well" with "Rikefs program for the delivery of drugs nell Douglas and 3M said that about 1 percent of the VS. population suffers from some form of anemia and "a significant fraction of these anemic individuals would benefit from erythropoietin therapy." There are four basic causes of anemia: loss of red blood cells through hemorrhage or small but steady bleeding; a deficiency of raw materials (iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid) needed for the production of red blood cells; disease of the bone marrow, where red blood cells are produced, or a short lifespan of the red blood cells, which normally survive for 120 days in the circulation. In addition, anemia can be a symptom of cancer. McDonnell Douglas has said it hopes the drug will be available for patient care by Erythropoietin Is not widely avail-able now because scientists have been unable to filter out enough of its potentially harmful impurities.

The discovery of the bell seems to have put to rest questions about whether the vessel Clifford found truly Is the infamous pirate ship, which sank In a storm in 1717. Joseph Sinnott director of the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archeological Resources, said that he has Inspected the bell and that "There is no doubt In my mind" that It came from the Whydah. "It is a very significant find. This Is the only pirate vessel that has ever been found anywhere in the world." He said he wants the booty from the ship housed in a museum he would like to be builU Neither Clifford nor Sinnott would say yesterday how much they believe the find to be worth, but Robert CahiU, the former head of the Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources, has estimated the treasure at $400 million.

-There is, however, a debate over who owns the treasures. Clifford said he and the state of Massachusetts are embroiled in a lawsuit over ownership. They agree that Clifford should receive 75 percent of the 1 value of the finding and the state 25 percent, but they disagree over who actually owns the treasures, and, therefore, who has ultimate say in what is done with them. Both Clifford and the state, however, have said they want a museum built Clifford's local investors are Charles (Bucky) Zimmerman, a Minneapolis attorney, and Bob Lazier and Mickey Salloway, real estate investors in Vail, who grew up In the Twin Cities area. Zimmerman declined to say what each individual's investment in the project is.

Included in the packet of Information given to the press yesterday was a letter seeking Investors in Clifford's treasure-hunting corporation, which recently found a Revolutionary War-era ship said to be loaded With gold in the East River in New York. But Clifford and the others explained yesterday that the purpose of the press conference was not to find new investors. They said the letter had been mistakenly included iq the packet "We don't want their money; we don't need their money," Zimmerman said of people who might learn of the venture through the news media and be interested in Investing. Until the bell was found, Sinnott 'Hi said, it was thought the name of boat was Whidan. The correct spelling of the name Is but a tiny new piece of Information that archeologists and historians hope to glean as they search the wreckage for riches and clues abriut pirate life, for more than 250 years, the residents of Cape Cod often guessed about the truth of the legend of the Whydah, Samuel (Black Sam) Bellamy's pirate ship.

Legend had it that he stole the slave ship, loaded with a booty of 50 pounds of jewels per man, and then, a few months later, was caught in a severe spring storm. With assistance from an ample supply of rum the crew had drunk, Bellamy lost the boat among roaring wind and shifting currents off Cape Cod. The boat had been returning to England on its maiden voyage when Bellamy and his crew captured it in the Caribbean Islands. The slaves had been sold and the ship was filled with payment for them. Bellamy liked the craft and stocked it with jewels from other vessels he had raided in the previous two years.

Clifford's uncle told him about the legend when Clifford was an 8-year-old boy, and he never forgot 3 He spent years in the library doing preliminary research. He found court summaries from the trials of the eight survivors of the wreckage. More than 190 men died. Six of the survivor were hanged and two were let go, considered to have been forced aboard. is- ti Clifford found reports from 52 sea captains whose boats Bellamy had plundered.

And, most important, he found the records from the mapmaker dispatched by the governor of Massachusetts to salvage the wreck. 't Using letters that mapmaker Cyprian Southack wrote the governor, Southack's diary and a map that Southack drew, as well as some sophisticated modern searching tools, Clifford found some Important clues. In a field he found the buried foundation of Samuel Harding's house. Southack had -written that the ship was wrecked two miles from the bouse. Then Clifford found a place once called Billingsgate, which no longer existed.

Southack wrote that the ship was wrecked 3 miles south of Billingsgate. And after several years of searching, using sophisticated metal-sensing devices, Clifford found te first metal coins. his.cyew has dug holes in the sand on the ocean floor and begun retrieving coins, jewelry, even cannons. Clifford said he expects to continue diving for treasures at the site for several years. Heavy duty Personal filing oV -i.
