(AP) Scientists reported Tuesday the development of a potent, yet still mysterious agent called Transfer Factor that can restore defective defense mechanisms in the human body. These cellular defense mechanisms are involved in the body's fight against virus, bacteria and fungus infections, in its ability to reject transplanted objects and in its failure to reject cancers. Transfer Factor or TF is a biochemical separated from the blood of a person with normal defense mechanisms, called immune mechanisms. Injected into a patient, the TF smaller than a virus confers on that patient for six months to one to two years the normal responses of the donor. TF thus retains the memory of its function in the donor after it is transferred to the patient.

Some diseases caused by congenital defects in a child's immune system already have been treated successfully by injecting TF in a rising number of cases in laboratories Thompson Asks Primary For Delegates' Election and clinics around the country. A major report on the work with TF was given at the annual meeting of the American College of Physicians by Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, head of the infectious disease and immunology division at the New York University school of medicine. "The growing clinical experience with such treatment," he said, "has demonstrated the remarkable potency of TF as a restorative of ceilluar immunity formerly achieved only by bone marrow transplantation." In figures compiled by Dr.

Lawrence a year ago and probably tripled by new, TF, for example, cured six of 10 children suffering from a resistant fungus infection called disseminated mucocutaneous candidiasis. If the doses had been bigger, Dr. Lawrence said, all might have responded. In treating a form of leprosy, lepromatous leprosy, TF converted the disease to a more benign form in 11 of 22 cases. TF also has been used in treating melanoma, a cancer, in the hope of encouraging the patient to reject the tumor like the foreign body that it is.

Fletcher Thompson! sent out letters Tuesday to every member of the Georgia General Assembly asking them to petition for an immediate" special session to overhaul the state's system of selecting del-! egates to the two presidential nominating conventions. Thompson said there was "mob-type control" at the Dem- ocratic Party's 10 mini-conventions on March 11 at which! most of the state Democratic delegates were elected. The Republican Senate candidate said he would personally-prefer to see the system replaced with a state presidential pri-I mary. Both the Republican and Democratic delegate selection; procedures are set by the respective state parties, a system' Thompson said should be established by state law.

Thompson singled out the Democrats for criticism, saying' that the fact Alabama Gov. George Wallace got no pledgetf, delegates shows that the Democratic system did not work.

Charter Panel Sets Council Age at 18 An Atlanta Charter Commission committee Tuesday reaffirmed a recommendation to permit 18-year-old city councilmen, but took away some of the powers of the president of the council. The Government Structure Committee met for three hours Tuesday to try to iron out some of the differences expressed at last Thursday night's full commission meeting. T3ie full 30-member commission meets again Thursday night.

The committee Tuesday decided that active 18-year-olds might "remove the lethargy and apathy of older voters," according to Dr. C. A. Bacote. Emmet Bondurant, commission chairman, said the argument that students are only transients and don't have a stake in the area doesn't hold up when one considers that DeKalb County's resident turnover is 20 per cent annually.

The committee voted to require council candidates to have a one-year residency and be 13 years old. The mayor and vice mayor must be 25, under the committee's recommendations. But the committee, with about half the full commission present during the session, voted to prohibit the president of the council (now also called the vice mayor) from introducing legislation or speaking cn the floor of the council. 2323 CHESHIRE BRIDGE ROAD, NORTHEAST grants and loans to hospitals, rehabilitation institutes, public health centers and skilled nursing homes over the last 26 years. The legislation, technically Title VI, Section 622 of the Public Health Sen-ice Act, states: "there will be made available in each such hospital or addition to a hospital a reasonable volume of hospital services to persons unable to pay therefore, but an exception shall be made if such a requirement is not feasible from a financal standpoint." The required services under today's order would be at a level neither less than 5 per cent of an institutions operating cost nor less than 25 per cent of its net income.

3539 NORTHSIDE PARKWAY, NORTHWEST 1-75 at West Paces Ferry Road Entertainment Niahtlv Phona 14041 WASHINGTON (NYT) -Elliot L. Richardson, the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, ordered Tuesday 6,308 health care facilities, including half the nation's hospitals, to provide a minimum level of charity services to the poor. If an institution does not comply with the order and cannot demonstrate sufficient reason for not doing so, it faces sanctions up to and including the revocation of its license. The order was in the form of an insertion in the Federal Register giving proposed regulations implementing a little-used section of the Hill-Burton Act under which $3.7 billion has been dispensed as Lindbarg.

The American Hospital Association issued a statement several months ago, before the wording of the regulation had been settled, opposing its intent. The statement said the nation's community hospitals already were living up to an acknowledged responsibility of providing some degree of free health services. Yet the issue was forced by five class action suits brought by attorneys, mostly paid for by funds from the Federal Of-; fice of Economic Opportunity, against HEW in West Virginia, Florida, Louisiana. Colorado, and the District of Columbia. The nationwide effect of the order is the strengthening of the legal weapon that poor people have to force hospitals and other institutions that have accepted federal funds to live up to the letter of the law.

The wording of the regulations, however, provides an escape clause for two types of health care facilities: Those in serious financial difficulties, of which there are many, and those operating in areas of affluence where there are almost no poor, of which there are few. The department of HEW will leave it up to those state agencies regulating and licensing the hospitals to enforce the new regulations. As the regulations were written, any health care institution that has ever accepted Hill-Burton funds, no matter when or how much, has to abide by the directive. The institution must file with the appropriate state agency an annual report showing that it has either met the requirements, or give a reason why it hasn't. said the contract would have to bs changed if Amsterdam got involved, threatening that Reykjavik might pull out in that case.

Belgrade pulled out after Fischer demanded more money. Euwe said Sunday the first half of the match might be moved to Amsterdam.

But the Netherlands federation said the arrangements would be too long and costly. And the Iceland federation MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union jumped into the international wrangle over the Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer world championship chess match Tuesday, charging Fischer with "endless whims" and the International Chess Federation with i v-ance." In a statement distributed by Tass, the Soviet Chess Federation said the American challenger was "fully responsible" for jeopardizing his title match with the Soviet cham pion. It also accused Dr. Max Euwe of Amsterdam, president of tha international federation FIDE of playing favorites and catering to those "endless whims" of Fisher's.

"The FIDE leadership failed to display a firmness of principle and consistency to command respect for its decisions, actually leaving Fischer's actions unanswered It said Euwe's search for a new location, and what it called his expressed incomprehension of Belgrade's withdrawal, indicated a "desire to justify Robert Fischer's unseemly behavior, which was condemned by world public opinion, and lay the blame on somebody else." you have read this book 2. 3, and 4-week tours Fully escorted motorcoach tours Eur-Own-Plan Tours with local hosts 47 different tour programs Choice of First-Class and Quality Medium Hotels Includes the GATEWAY GLOB US "full refund" guarantee and protection of all payments by U.S. CAB approved security bond and trust account.
