THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1985 PACE 2 DAILY SPECTRqM To live outside hospital Schroeder to score another first LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) Artificial heart recipient Bill Schroeder will become the first artificial heart patient to live outside a hospital after he is discharged Saturday from Humana Hospital Audubon, hospital officials said. Dr. William C. DeVries, the pioneer surgeon who implanted the plastic and metal heart in Schroeder 131 days ago, approved Schroeder's discharge Wednesday, according to Humana spokesman Robert Irvine.

The world's second recipient of a permanent mechanical heart will be moved to a "halfway house" across the street from the Louisville hospital which has been modified to house heart patients from the Humana Heart Institute. Schroeder, 53, was scheduled to be moved at 1 p.m. MST Saturday to the four-unit building. Schroeder's wife Margaret, who has been staying at the hospital since his implant Nov. 25, will accompany her husband in a specially equpped van for the short ride across the street, Irvine said.

Irvine said no other details of the move would be released until a Saturday morning news conference by DeVries. Schroeder has difficulty speaking and suffers mild brain seizures that cause him to stare into space for up to 20 minutes at a time. Seven small areas of Schroeder's brain were damaged by a stroke Dec. 13, 18 days after his implant. The discharge indicates doctors believe Schroeder is strong enough to live outside the highly controlled environment of the hospital.

Nursing care will be provided to Schroeder. Schroeder's family has recieved training in running the drive units for the Jarvik-7 heart. The Schroeders' apartment has been rigged with special compressors needed for both drive units, as well as electrical backup systems in case of a pow er failure. Saturday will mark Schroeder's 133rd day since his implant surgery. Last month Schroeder surpassed the mark of Dr.

Barney Clark, the first Jarvik-7 patient who lived 112 days on the mechanical heart. Fellow artificial heart patient Murray Haydon continued to be weaned Wednesday from a respirator used to aid his breathing since he suffered an unexplained lung problem. Haydon, who became the world's third permanent artificial heart recipient Feb. 17, is continuing to recover from surgery performed March 2 to correct excessive bleeding near his mechanical heart. Haydon has continued to suffer breathing problems, and last week underwent a tracheotomy to allow him to cat and drink more comfortably while being connected to the respirator.

DeVries hoped Haydon, 58, could be removed from the device by the end of the week, Irvine said.

A Defense Ministry official said nine police officers three suspected secessionist guerrillas and three civilians considered police informants died in the blast Wednesday. The sub-inspector who led the police patrol was missing. The land mine was detonated in Eravur, 175 miles east of Colombo, as the police patrol was returning in two vehicles from a raid on a suspected guerilla hideout.

The bodies of several officers were returned to the capital by helicopter today. Officers from the Defense Ministry sources blamed the Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization for the explosion. The TELO has been blamed for a series of attacks over the years as the Tamils, an ethnic minority on the island, try to set up a separate state. Sri Lanka's government is controlled by Sinhalese. Transplant patient faces kidney failure LOUISVILLE, Ky.

(UPI) Doctors turned their attention to the nonfunctioning kidneys of a youth who received a heart transplant after being kept alive five days with dual mechanical pumps while awaiting a donor. "The most important thing to me is whether his kidney function returns," said Dr. Laman Gray who performed the transplant Wednesday on Michael C. Jones, 16, of Lexington, at Jewish Hospital. Gray said his patient, who underwent dialysis treatment following the transplant, had only a 20 to 25 percent chance of survival because of the kidney problems.

The physician said Jones was in good health until his heart became diseased with an unexplained virus last week. The mysterious virus also affected his kidneys. He said the boy was in "stable" cardiac condition but his recovery would remain uncertain unless his kidneys begin working again. The blood pumps, called ventricular assist devices, were used to maintain Jones' circulation while doctors searched for a donor heart suitable for his 5-foot-3, 120-pound frame. IRS rules move closer to repeal WASHINGTON (UPI) IRS regulations that require taxpayers to keep daily logs when they use their cars for business are so unpopular that the Senate and House in nearly unanimous votes have agreed to repeal them.

The Senate voted 92-1 Wednesday to kill the 3-month-old record-keeping rules and to restore less complicated rules. Sen. William Proxmire, cast the only dissenting vote. The House approved the measure 412-1 Tuesday, with Rep. Barney Frank, the lone no vote.

Although the bill now must still go to a House-Senate conference to work out a compromise, taxpayers can assume the record-keeping rules that so many complained about will be repealed. The conference committee probably will not meet until Congress returns from Aaster recess in two weeks. The IRS begulations, which took effect Jan. 1, required a taxpayer to keep "adequate contemporaneous records" of personal vehicles used for business. Fire rages for six hours in Hamburg HAMBURG, West Germany (UPI) The biggest fire in Hamburg since 1948 raged for six hours in a dockside storage shed today, causing millions of dollars worth of damage but no injuries, police said.

Officials said the blaze destroyed one-fourth of a shed containing tobacco, cocoa, coffee, rubber and chemicals. The cause of the was unknown, but a police spokesman said there was no reason to suspect arson. The fire was discovered at 1 a.m.

A small outbreak was also reported by Iowa authorities. The cause of the contamination is being investigated by the Illinois Department of Health, U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control. Larry Simpkins of Bourbannais claimed in the $6 million suit his family bought Bluebrook milk at a neighborhood Jewel on March 23. His daughter, Donniell, became ill after consuming the milk over several days, the suit said.

"Her situation was life threatening," said Nicholas J. Motherway, the family's attorney who also filed a second suit on behalf of James A. DonoOue-19. Donohue, who is also listed in good condition at Good Sheperd Hospital in Barrington, was admitted to the hospital Saturday after tests confirmed Salmonella poisoning, which can cause cramps, high fever, vomiting and diarrhea, the suit said. The suits claim the Bluebrook milk was "unfit for human consumption." Laboratory tests have determined a "presumptive positive" identification of the bacteria in the milk as Salmonella type B.

The test results, however, will not be conclusive until Thursday, state health department spokesman Pat Larsen told a news conference. CHICAGO (UPI) Three lawsuits have been filed over a food poisoning outbreak that affected hundreds of people in 15 Illinois counties and Iowa who bought milk from one food store chain. The parents of an 18-month-old girl with Salmonella food poisoning filed a $6 million lawsuit Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court, charging Jewel Co. with selling contaminated milk. Two other lawsuits were filed one on behalf of a Palatine teenager, and another on behalf of an Oak Brook family and a Burbank family.

All claim they got sick from drinking the milk. The suits are the first stemming from the confirmed poisonings of more than 515 people, mostly in northern Illinois, who purchased Jewel's 2 percent low-fat Bluebrook milk at area stores. Officials have not yet determined the exact cause of the bacteria, but Larsen said they have "pretty much ruled out" the cartons. The investigation is now focusing on the west suburban Melrose Park dairy that produced the milk, Larsen said. Another 937 suspected cases in 15 Illinois counties remain unconfirmed.

Most of the poisonings occurred in the six-county Chicago metropolitan area, but some have been reported in southern Illinois, where Bluebrook is sold at Eisner grocery stores, Illinois Depart MM Israeli soldiers kill eight BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) Israeli soldiers stormed three southern Lebanese villages today, killing eight people who tried to flee, seizing weapons and rounding up villagers for questioning, police and the Israeli army said. In Tel Aviv, the army said Israeli troops killed eight Lebanese guerrillas during a raid on the village of Kawthariyat al Siyad near the port of Tyre, about 50 miles south of Beirut. The army said five guerrillas were killed trying to escape in a car and three others died fleeing a cave. "A large quantity of combat materiel was found in the village, including (Soviet-made) Kalashnikov rifles, machine guns, seven rocket-propelled grenade launchers and bombs," the statement said. Two Israeli soldiers were wounded when a roadside charge went off as an army patrol was passing near Sa-dikin southeast of Tyre, and one soldier was wounded when a charge went off as a patrol passed near Kas-samiyeh north of Tyre.

They were treated at the scene. In Beirut, machine gun battles, sniper fire and kidnappings briefly closed two of the six crossing points linking the Christian and Moslem sections of the capital, police said. The Beirut clashes were sporadic and involved Christian and Moslem militias on either side of the Green Line, police said. "The army had to close the two crossing points for several hours to avoid civilain casualties. The shooting died down and the roads were reopened," a police spokesman said.

Six of 16 Christian civilians kidnapped at one crossing were released and efforts were made to freed the others, the Christian-run Voice of Lebanon radio said. There was also sporadic fighting in the mountains east of Beirut between Druze Moslem militias and Lebanese soldiers deployed in the garrison village of Souk el Gharb, military sources said. There were no immediate reports of casualties. Police in the southern port of Sidon said several hundred Israeli soldiers and at least 30 troop carriers, tanks and a bulldozer were involved in today's search of three southern villages. "Villagers who escaped told us that the Israelis entered the villages of Kawthariyat al Siyad, where a force of 15-20 Lebanese army troops was surrounded, and nearby villages of Ghassaniyeh and Babliyeh," a police source said.

This year's troop withdrawal follows Vietnam's most successful dry season offensive against the Chinese-armed Cambodian rebels. All of the major insurgent bases in Cambodia were captured in the fighting that Hanoi said "put out of action 12,000 enemy troops." The first contingent of returning troops left the northeast Cambodian provincial capital of Stung Treng Wednesday on a 142-mile journey to Pleiku in Vietnam's Central Highlands. "Fifteen thousand Vietnamese volunteer troops are leaving for home after fulfilling with outstanding success their internationalist missions in Cambodia," Radio Phnom Penh said.

Hanoi said the troop pullout was expected to continue into May. BANGKOK, Thailand '(UPI) -Khmer Rouge guerrillas said today they killed 18 Soviet advisers in Cambodia although Vietnam claimed its largest troop pullout shows security in Cambodia has improved. The Communist Khmer Rouge, former rulers of Cambodia following the U.S. withdrawal from Indochina, claimed Wednesday to have killed 23 Vietnamese troops in an attack only 19 miles west of the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh. "On March 27, we ambushed and destroyed a Vietnamese truck east of Kompong Seila on Koh Kong Kraom battlefield," in southwestern Koh Kong province, said the rebel National Army of Democratic Kampuchea radio.

"We killed all the passengers on board, including 18 Soviet advisers," the broadcast said. Independent confirmation of the claim was not immediately available.
