In a 268-page report filed Thursday with a federal judge in Oklahoma, the FDA said an exhaustive review of clinical research and of Laetrile proponents' arguments has failed to sway the agency's conviction that Laetrile is a hoax. The report was ordered by the judge, who is hearing a case filed by a cancer victim who wants Laetrile.

While revealing no new evidence, the report marshals previous arguments against the substance, then characterizes Laetrile promoters-; i.as. charlatans and Laetrile users as victims. "Cancer engenders victims' families feel both sympathy and guilt at being unable to relieve the victim's suffering," FDA Commissioner Donald Kennedy said in the report. "These feelings are exploited skillfully by the purveyors of false cures. Cancer victims and their families are extremely vulnerable to the kind of persuasion so skillfully used by Laetrile's promoters he said.

"Promoters play upon the victim's frustration with a medical establishment that cannot offer the certainty of a cure, and build upon the cancer patient's fear of legitimate cancer therapies," Kennedy said. The commissioner said the FDA made an objective review of Laetrile supporters' arguments, but found them unacceptable. Kennedy said case histories cited in a book by one prominent Laetrile proponent "not only do not provide the kinds of adequate and well- controlled studies needed to show the effectiveness of a drug, it is not even on its face a particularly credible recounting of medical case histories." California Brush Fire Burning 100,000 Acres Golf Hazard Is Real 'Birdie' LAURENS, Iowa (AP) There's a unique hazard between the eighth and ninth fairways of the Laurens Golf and Country Club nine-hole course. It's the runway for the town's municipal airport. "There's kind of an unwritten rule that the airplanes buzz you once, then the golfers scatter," said Dick Hawes, 34, the club groundskeeper.

Hawes said not many airplanes land in this town of 1,800 and to his knowledge no plane ever has been hit by a golf ball nor any golfers hurt by a plane. But, each year, there are "a couple of close calls when people start mixing booze and golf on the eighth hole," Hawes said.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A fire near Big Sur the worst of more than 300 California brush and timber fires raging over 100,000 acres "looks like it's going to be going for a while," a state forestry spokesman says. More than 2,000 men were on hand to fight the lightning-sparked blaze in the Ventana Wilderness of the Los Padres National Forest, said California Division of Forestry spokesman Brian Barrette. In all, more than 8,000 fire fighters were spread across the state, including 3,500 Forest Service recruits from 48 states.

They were being aided by 63 air tankers carrying fire retardant chemicals, 60 helicopters and more than 200 fire engines. The Ventana fire, more than 20 miles long, will cause three watersheds in the wilderness to accumulate up to three times the normal amount of sediment, said Debbie Mitchell, a CDF spokeswoman. She said that will increase water problems for areas of California already suffering from the two-year drought. She said that when vegetation is lost because of fire, not as much water can be absorbed into the underground water table. In addition, the burning vegetation produces gases that are absorbed by the soil and block off part of the water table.

The affected watersheds include Carmel, serving 20,000 people in the Carmel Valley; Big Sur, primarily a recreational watershed; and Arroyo Seco, serving agriculture in the Salinas Valley. Water use will be impaired to users of all three watersheds, Miss Mitchell said. The fire also was threatening structures at the small community of Tassajara Hot Springs, evacuated earlier this week, and a forest ranger station at Chews Ridge. Barrette said the 20.000-acre Scarface fire near Canby in Modoc County was also burning out of control. Other fires in the Modoc- Lassen area in northeastern California included an acre blaze near the town of Bieber, the Pondosa timber fire, a fire near Mosquito Lake, a acre fire near Egg Lake and at least 15 other fires from one to 400 acres in size.

timber fire near Eagle Lake was potentially a threat to 50 to 75 homes in the Forest Lakes subidivsion near Susanville, Barrette said. A timber fire in the Plumas National Forest was being fought by more than 700 men. order buyers.
