Scientists Report Big Breakthrough In Schizophrenia tJk Fort Lauderdale News. Friday, May 5, 1972 U.S. Seen Headed For Rendezvous With Viet Disaster beef brains and stored. The Wayne State group plans to begin trials with animals to determine whether treatment with the enzyme, called Anti-S Protein, has any unpleasant side effects. If none is found, then it will be tried on schizophrenia patients to see if it will restore their delicate brain biochemical balance or even cure the disease.

Gottlieb estimated this could take five years and cost an additional $5 million. k. A. :7 RESCUE him. Twenty persons were killed in the storms which struck the south section of Mexico City.

FLOOD VICTIM An unidentified man, left, leaves his sunken automobile during a flash flood in Mexico City as a rescue boat stands by to assist "It is not easy to plead for the retention of an end-the-war amendment at a time when the enemy is pressing his attack on the battlefield," Church said. "We are told "This is not the right or 'This is not the right bill." Perhaps not. But we are now in the eighth year of the American ordeal in Vietnam. When will the 'right time' ever come?" Church asked. MORE ATTACKS SEEN "Hopefully this offensive can be turned back, like the last, though the issue is in doubt.

But then, as surely as leaves wither in the fall, other attacks will follow," Church said. Supporters of the Church-Case amendment continued to delay on a vote. Sen. John Stennis, has proposed another amendment to strike the cutoff measure which is attached to the State Department authorization bill. It is considered highly unlikely the House would pass a similar cutoff or that President Richard Nixon would sign it.

Nevertheless, the House Foreign Affairs Committee appears headed toward approving some sort of bill setting a deadline for U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam. Until now, committee members have been among Nixon's most stalwart supporters on Vietnam policy. ANOTHER PROPOSAL One of the likeliest prospects at the moment is Rep. Wayne L.

Hays' proposal calling for withdrawal of all U.S. troops 90 days after Hanoi releases all U.S. prisoners. Although the date has not been picked, top guns on the committee, including Hays, D-Ohio, and Chairman Thomas E. Morgan, who have i consistently opposed congressional restraints on any president's handling of the war, are now talking in terms of a bill with a war deadline.

Frank Church appealed to the Senate today to cut off funds for U.S. forces in Indochina because the nation is moving daily toward "a rendezvous with disaster and defeat." In a Senate speech, the Idaho Democrat sought to counter criticism of an amendment sponsored by him and Sen. Clifford P. Case, Their proposal would cut off such appropriations Dec.

United Press International WASHINGTON Hanoi has indicated it might release more POWs if it was certain the U.S. government would not use them for what North Vietnam called "propaganda purposes," according to Teamsters Vice President Harold Gibbons. The alleged propaganda activities of the POWs, Gibbons said, involved the last three men released by Hanoi in the fall of 1969 Navy Lt. Robert Frishman; former Navy Seaman Douglas Hegdahl, and Air Force Capt.

Wesley Rumble. He told a news conference yesterday that the Communists said they could understand a repatriated prisoner being returned to duty and re-suming bombing missions over North Vietnam, but could not understand, he added, the Pentagon-sponsored tours at -which an ex-POW would talk "pulling out fingernails." Gibbons, who visited Hanoi in March, said his delegation was not permitted to see an American POW camp because locations of the prisons have been highly classified since the unsuccessful 1970 U.S. commando raid on Song Tay. Two prisoners he was allowed to talk to, whom he did not identify, were escorted to and from the interview site by a military staff car, he said. Ill Widow, 77, Faces Home Loss Over Funeral Loan The Associated Press DALLAS A research team says it has made a major breakthrough in developing a treatment for schizophrenia, the personality-splitting mental disturbance that robs victims of thought process and leads to peculiar ideas, delusions and hallucinations.

Dr. Jacques S. Gottlieb, 65, told the American Psychiatric Association yesterday he and his colleagues at Wayne State University in Detroit have discovered the probable cause of the disorder. Gottlieb, chairman of the Wayne State psychiatry department, and Dr. Charles Frohman, a Wayne State biochemist, said their research indicates an enzyme deficiency in the brain causes schizophrenia.

The deficiency apparently upsets the brain's metabolism and turns it to abnormal production of chemicals known to produce psychotic effects. Schizophrenia afflicts about 2 million Americans and is one of the most difficult mental illnesses to treat. It usually results in hospitalization and seldom is completely cured. Gottlieb likens the mechanism for schizophrenia they have discovered to the simpler one which causes diabetes, the disturbance of the body's blood sugar metabolism that often was fatal 50 years ago. INSULIN IMBALANCE It was discovered that an Imbalance of insulin, an enzyme manufactured by the pancreas, a gland in the stomach, was responsible.

With the isolation and synthesis of insulin, diabetes was brought under control. "This opens up the doorway to begin looking for a method of bringing schizophrenia under control much in the same way diabetes is brought under control with insulin," he said. The schizophrenia enzyme, which is found in the limbic and lower stem area of the brain, can be extracted from Chess Champ Defeats Foe The Associated Press NEW YORK Defending U.S. chess champion Sammy Reshevsky defeated Larry Kaufman in 41 moves last night to maintain a half-point lead after eight rounds of the 21st National Chess Championships.

Her suit said she signed the agreement, but claimed she "is totally unsophisticated in financial matters, has no understanding of the transac-ion." NEVER EXPLAINED American Plan Investment which arranged the loan, never explained that after 37 monthly payments of $30 each "she would still owe more on the loan than she had received at the beginning," the suit alleged. The payments would come from her Social Security benefits of less than $100 a month. Mrs. Pick said the December 1971 payment was not made because she was in a convalescent home.

The company, she charged, made no attempt to find out why she did not pay. A notice of trustee's sale was sent to her home a month ago, but she said she did not receieve it until a relative delivered it to her in the convalescent home two weeks ago.

Eleven-year-old boys bombarded a police van with cans and rocks, chanting "we shall not be moved." A squad of uniformed schoolgirls paraded, chanting "uniforms out." Pupils at another school perched on the schoolyard wall complaining to passers-by about meals and caning. The trouble broke out in three of London's 204 state secondary schools. Teachers estimated 500 pupils out of a total 3,250 at the two boys schools and one girls' school were involved. Many of the schools suffer from oversized classes and a shortage of teachers.

SHRUGGED OFF School administrators and the Inner London Education Authority shrugged off the incidents as isolated, and "the work of one or two energetic individuals who like publicity." The leader is 18-year-old Stephen Finch, head of the Schools' Action Union, which demands more "pupil power." Stephen disrupted teaching for two days this week at his school in Marylebone, London, leading a walkout of ISO boys to protest uniforms and caning. He also led an abortive march to a nearby girls' school where the pupils were demanding the right to wear makeup and jewelry. Stephen's mother said at home, where her son has Maoist posters in his bedroom. "I wish he would get himself a girl friend. It might steady him down a bit."

NEW WEAPONS Arrival of the sophisticated new antitank weapons at Plei-ku was reported by UPI correspondent at Franjola who said the U.S.

Command was bringing in helicopters from Germany equipped with wire-guided missiles for use against enemy tanks. He said he was told the missiles were of the "TOW" type, TOW being an acronym for tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided. They are described in some detail in Jane's All The World's Aircraft, the authoritative aviation yearbook, in its 1964-65 edition. Franjola said at least two UH1 Huey utility choppers converted for use as gunships and equipped with the highly-accurate missiles have arrived at the big U. S.

helicopter base at Camp Hollo-way just east of Pleiku. So far they have only been tested on abandoned tanks in field tests aimed at working out possible bugs. FOR PROTECTION The U.S. command, asked about the missiles, confined itself to saying "in response to the increased enemy tank threat the U.S. Army has sent a small number of antitank missiles and UH 1 helicopters equipped with antitank weapons systems.

They will be used by the remaining U. S. security forces to augment the protection of U.S. personnel." Their introduction coincided with arrival here of Barry J. Shillito, assistant secretary of defense for installations and logistics.

He conferred today with President Nguyen Van Thieu while the team of generals and admirals fanned out across the country to see what new weapons could be used and to find out more about new weapons being used by the Communists, including a hand-held heat-seek-ing missile credited with shooting down two U.S. helicopters. Wholesale Meat Price Declines (Continued from Page One) and industrial commodities average out to a rise of one-tenth of one per cent, boosting the Wholesale Price Index to 117.5 of its 1967 base of 100. This meant it cost $117.50 on the average for wholesale goods worth $100 five years ago. The latest index was 3.7 per cent above a year ago.

The report on jobs said the total number of employed Americans actually rose some 400,000 to 80.6 million and unemployment dropped more than half a million to 4.7 million.

"Three hundred and fifty persons will be able to sit in its four comfortable cabins," Trud said. "It will carry a maximum payload of 40 tons a distance of 5,500 kilometers (3,400 miles at an altitude of 14 kilometers (45,000 feet)." Trud said it will have a maximum speed of 950 kilometers per hour (590 mph) and the seats will be arranged in three rows of three seats each, leaving two aisles. Trud gave no indication when the aircraft will be in operation, but previous statements by officials of the Soviet civil aviation industry have indicated that it will be flying by the end of 1975. At present, the Soviet Union's largest aircraft is the IL62, which can carry 186 passengers in an all-economy configuration.

Its range of 5,500 miles and its capacity make it the flagship of the Soviet air fleet. SERIOUS EFFORT The combination of the big IL86 and the supersonic Tupo-lev 144 represent the most serious Soviet effort to date to penetrate rich Western aircraft markets now dominated by the United States, France and Britain. The TU144 was the first supersonic transport (SST) to fly when it made its maiden test flight on Dec. 31, 1968. It also achieved supersonic speed before the only other SST under development, the British-French Concorde.

Despite the fast start, however, the TU144 is not expected to be in commercial service until 1973 or later. FORT LAUDERDALE NEWS Phone 527-4311 Circulation 525 1751 Classified Ads 525-1411 L1. Fort Lauderdale News published every week-day afternoon. Monday through Friday Fort Lauderdale. Fla.

Atlantic City Mayor, Plus Six, Indicted The Associated Press NEWARK, N.J. Atlantic City Mayor William T.

Somers was indicted yesterday on conspiracy, extortion and bribery charges with six other present and former city officials. Somers complained that the indictments came only five days before the city's municipal election. The 26-count indictment by a federal grand jury was announced in Newark by U.S. Atty. Herbert J.

Stern. It said the defendants "by wrongful use of fear and under color of official right" extorted a total of more than $28,421 from nine firms doing business with the city. Named in the indictment along with Somers, SS, were: former Mayor Richard S. Jackson, 64; Arthur W. Pon-zio, 48, the public works director; Karlos R.

LaSane, 39, director of parks and public property; Robert Glass, 62, supervisor of parks and recreation areas; Ponzio's secretary, Germain Fischer, 58, and Florence Clark, 71, former assistant purchasing agent. Somers, a Republican, is seeking re-election in the May 9 municipal race. Ponzio, La- bane and Fisher also issued a statement saying such "trouble" is an inevitable part of public life. United Press International MOSCOW The Soviet Union today unveiled plans for a giant 350-passenger airbus, representing the first Soviet attempt to penetrate the big jet market now dominated by the Boeing 747. Trud, the trade union newspaper, published a photograph of a mockup of the plane, to be called the Ilyushin 86.

The official Tass News Agency also published photographs of the mockup. The photographs showed a L.A. Seeks Airport Suit Ban United Press International LOS ANGELES The city government was trying today to convince the legislature to pass a law making the city immune from suits by homeowners which charge operations at the airport damage their property. City officials began talking this week about closing down Los Angeles International Airport, second busiest passenger air terminal in the world, rather than risk bankrupting the city treasury. The action followed a ruling by the state supreme court which held mat homeowners near the airport can sue the city which built and maintains the airport as responsible for such jet age nuis-a as engine roar, fuel pollution, vibration and lower property values.

The city said there is already almost $4 billion worth of damage suits pending. Officials estimated the total could soar to $10 billion, and the city's residents wouldn't be able to pay taxes high enough to meet the cost of such judgments so it would be wiser to shut down the airport and avoid the risk. The city council decided yesterday to have the city's representative in Sacramento, Kenneth G. Spiker, attempt to convince the legislature to declare city governments immune from such nuisance suits. Spiker told councilmen he did not "predict very fast progress" on such a bill.

Attorneys for homeowners involved in the pending suits told news conferences the city was engaging in "scare tactics."

Timber bulkheads, laboriously built in atrocious conditions, permitted the clearing of smoke and gas on the Silver Summit shaft and to some extent in the parallel Jewell shaft. BIG QUESTION The big unanswered question was whether the gas generated by the still-unexplained fire affected men as deep as the missing SO were believed to be. Victims of the tragedy caught the full impact on higher levels somewhere between 3,100 and 3,700 feet.

The town of Kellogg, 7,000 population, was in a state of shock. Relatives of the miners, shaken and worn out from a three-day vigil, maintained weary guard at the mine face. The mine has been closed by federal order until further notice. Federal, state and company officials were gearing up to probe the cause of the disaster. Arguments about safety at the mine abounded.

Del Kitchen, who escaped only to learn his father and brother had died, said "the mine never conducted fire drills. There were some resus-citators to help persons breathe, but most of the men never were shown how to operate them. I was lucky enough to figure out how to work one, but others weren't so lucky." 1 liff4 Cmlt Uc.l P. wc.it -State 1 Generally fair through tomorrow. Highs in the 80s.
