Work in the electronic theater included hundreds of "Omnibus," "G.E. Theatre." "Dick Powell Theatre" and "Desilu Playhouse" productions, while Nelson's TV specials ranged from "Cinderella" to the pilot for "Farmer's Daughter." And he profited accordingly, once living in a hillside estate he purchased from Edgar Bergen. On a clear day.

he told Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper in 1964. he could see the street where the police had arrested him many years before. Nelson's six children, three grandchildren and a sister, ask that contributions in his name be made to the Motion Picture Country Home in Woodland Hills. going to war as an Army Air Corps flier. After his discharge as what he described as a "hotshot pilot flying 2,500 missions over Georgia.

Alabama, Florida and other unfriendly territories," he turned to writing and saw two of his efforts come to the street where he had once brought coffee to Katherine Cornell and Basil Rathbone. One of those Broadway plays. The Wind Is Ninety" starred Kirk Douglas and Wendell Corey and was credited with launching their film careers. He turned to directing and for six years told stage actress Peggy Wood how to portray "Mama." "Mama," also known as "I Remember Mama," was early television at its finest, and the discipline Nelson developed in handling a grueling live show made him a natural choice as a director of the now legendary "Playhouse 90." His work on one of the best-remembered of that outstanding series, "Requiem for a Heavyweight," not only brought him an Emmy but also one for author Rod Serling, for actor Jack Palance and for the play itself as "Program of the Year." Nelson was to direct more than 1,000 dramatic shows for television, but none probably as famous as the poignant tale of a fighter long past his prime. Nelson also directed the film version, starring Anthony Quinn and featuring brief, appearances by Jack Dempsey and Muhammad All, then Cassius Clay.

He next converted to film a novella turned down by nearly all the major studios and earned an Oscar for Poitier as an itinerant black worker who helps a group of nuns build a chapel. In a 1979 interview, Nelson recalled that he had obtained financing for "Lilies of the Field" only by agreeing to do it for $250,000 and to complete shooting in 14 days. The film earned millions. By contrast, the TV sequel, "Christmas, Lilies of the Field," which was to prove his last directing credit, took 19 days and cost $1.6 million. For the rest of his career, Nelson balanced his motion picture and TV credits.

His Rainbow Productions films, in which he often appeared as an actor, included "Father Goose," "Fate Is the Hunter," "Charly," A Hero Ain't Nothin' but a Sand Continued from Page 3 and countless awards, among them an Emmy (for an Emmy nomination Man in the Funny and an Academy Award nomination of the And the rough-hewn director became as known inside the entertainment industry for his adherence to his principles as his films were outside it He once paid his own expenses to travel to New York so he could personally edit for television his 1963 movie "lilies of the Field," which won an Academy Award for Sidney Poitier. In 1971 he removed his "Soldier Blue" from screens in Australia to protest what the censors there had done to it Nelson freely admitted that his boiling point had always been several degrees below that of others. When he was 15 he both won a New York Times oratory contest and was singled out by a judge as "potentially the most dangerous juvenile oiminal" in that city for his role in a series of gang fights. By the time his next birthday arrived he had been jailed in 12 states for vagrancy and suspicion of burglary. He came to Los Angeles aboard a freight train with his fellow hobos and sold programs at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics in order to eat But soon he was back in jail, charged with attempted robbery.

"At Lincoln Heights Jail they told me 90 days or get out of town," he said. But Nelson didn't have any place to go and was wandering the streets when he chanced upon the Union Rescue Mission. "They fed me, gave me a place to sleep and clean up and found me a job washing dishes at the Lido Hotel in Hollywood," he said in 1971 in connection with an interview marking the 80th anniversary of the mission. Rejuvenated, he returned to New York to finish school, studied acting and went to work on Broadway as a "gofer" for various producers and actors. When he returned to Los Angeles several years later it was as an actor himself, understudying Leslie Howard as "Hamlet" at the old Biltmore Theatre.

He later appeared on stage at the Biltmore with Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fon-tanne's company, where he met his first wife, Celeste Holm, before BAKER, Laeille Harris EPSTEIN, Araaetreaa rasauy aatcutn HMBt BIBS!

He If aurvived by hla wife, Either and family, aona, John ojaaiMialUeaarth an electrical impulse from the brain is converted into a chemical signal that causes the muscle to contract.

When dystrophin is not present. Kunkel concluded, the muscle cells malfunction and eventually die. Once dystrophin's role is known, he said, researchers can experiment with therapies to take its place or make its function unnecessary in Duchenne patients. The protein is present in the cells in very small concentrations 0.002 of total muscle protein which explains why it had not been observed before, he noted. Kunkel also said the team has studied muscle cells from patients with Becker muscular dystrophy, a less severe and rarer form of the disease that occurs in one in 35,000 male births.

Many Becker victims also become wheelchair-bound, but not until their late teens. They also live longer than Duchenne muscular dystrophy victims. "It appears that these patients have some dystrophin, but not as much as healthy individuals," Kunkel said. He said this discovery may make it much easier to distinguish patients with Becker muscular dystrophy from those with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a distinction that is now often quite difficult As with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, there is no treatment for Becker muscular dystrophy, but the patients would be comforted by knowing they would not be as severely disabled, he said. Some way might also be found to cause their cells to produce more dystrophin to alleviate their symptoms, Kunkel suggested.

In the related report, the protein that controls muscle contraction was discovered by biophysicist Kevin P. Campbell of the University of Iowa. He announced in the current Journal of Biological Chemistry the discovery of a tubelike protein that controls the entry of calcium ions into muscle cells. Researchers have long known that muscles contract when the concentration of calcium inside them increases, but they did not know the mechanism. Gatekeeper for Muscle Cells Campbell said the newly discovered protein, called the calcium release channel, acts as a kind of gatekeeper for muscle cells.

When the brain sends an electrical signal to muscles to contract, this gate opens, allowing calcium to enter the cell and cause the desired contraction. When it is time for the muscle to relax, the gate closes and a separate protein removes the calcium to storage. Because both the calcium release channel and dystrophin are unusually large proteins, Campbell and Kunkel originally thought they might be studying the same protein. "We got together with a little help from the Muscular Dystrophy exchanged antibodies and data, and found that they are separate proteins even though they occur at the same place in the cell," Campbell said. Even though the calcium release channel has no role in Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, Campbell speculated that it may be important in one or more of the 10 other, less severe forms of muscular dystrophy.

Catiau4 from Ffe 1 The most serious form of muscular dystrophy, called Duchenne muscular dystrophy, strikes one in every 3,500 males bora The disease, which rarely affects females, is usually diagnosed between ages 3 and 5 when muscle weakness develops. The continuing loss of muscle strength almost always leaves victims wheelchair-bound by age 11 and usually results in death before age 30 due to respiratory failure. (There is no therapy for muscular dystrophy. But in August, re searchers at Johns Hopkins University and Washington University reported that, in two studies involving 49 boys, a steroid hormone, prednisolone, delayed the onset of the disease in all the boys. Unfortunately, the hormone caused severe side effects, including sharp weight gains, cataracts and osteoporosis.

The Duchenne muscular dystrophy protein, named dystrophin, was identified by a group of researchers led by pediatrician Louis Kunkel of Children's Hospital of Boston. 1986 Discovery The breakthrough was made possible by Kunkel's identification in 1986 of a part of the defective gene that causes Duchenne muscular dystrophy. From this genetic information, he made a calculated guess that paved the way for his momentous discovery. At the time, Kunkel knew that the defective gene was the blueprint for a particular component of the diseased muscle cell, a protein. But he did not know if that protein was actually present or, if it was, where in the cell the protein was located.

Kunkel thought that by ascertaining the protein's presence and location he could deduce its function, which would give a clue to the biochemical mechanism for muscular dystrophy. He set out to test his supposition by predicting part of the composition of dystrophin. Based on this prediction, he synthesized part of the protein and injected it into sheep and mice. Immediately, the animals' immune systems produced antibodies against the substance. The antibodies served as a tool to detect the presence and location of dystrophin.

If the protein is present, the antibodies will bind to it; if not, the antibodies will be washed away. Using this approach, Kunkel's group found that dystrophin was not present in muscle cells from two boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Even though only two children were involved in this phase of the study, the finding was regarded as conclusive, Kunkel said. (The technique, now being applied to additional children, has been confirmed in mice with a Duchenne muscular dystrophylike defect.) In contrast, the protein was present in cells from healthy humans and mice. The results indicate that the lack of the protein was probably the cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Kunkel said.

To test this conclusion, researchers set out to determine dystrophin's location within the cell and hence its function. They found that the protein is in the region of the muscle cell where Mlltaa PAIGE, Rabert December 21, 1987.

Robert Paige Robert Paige; Film Actor and TVShowHost By BURT A. FOLKART, Timet Staff Writer Robert Paige, a leading man in secondary films of the 1930s and '40s who became a game show host and briefly a newscaster on television, has died.

Orange County Deputy Coroner Cherry Van Stee said the star of such films as "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Can't Help Singing" was 76 but film encyclopedias list his birth date as Dec 2, 1910. He died Monday at San Clemente General Hospital, where he had been taken with heart problems. Born John Arthur Page in Indianapolis, he first appeared in films in 1935 as David Carlyle, a name he used when he sang and announced on radio. After a series of pictures at Universal, he switched to Columbia in 1938, the same year he changed his name to Paige. His more than 50 pictures included "Hellzapoppin," "Fired Wife," "Shady Lady," 'Tangier," "Abbott and Costello Go to Mars," "Split Second" and "Bye Bye Birdie," a 1963 musical that starred Janet Leigh and Dick Van Dyke.

Earlier he had appeared opposite Deanna Durbin in "Can't Help Singing," a Technicolor musical in which he also sang a modest hit, "Californ-i-ay." In the 1950s he was one of the hosts on "The Big Payoff," a TV game show in which men told why their wives and girlfriends deserved to win prizes. In 1955 he became host of "The Colgate Comedy Hour," which originally starred Eddie Cantor. The program later became "The Colgate Variety Hour." Paige also worked as a newscaster for ABC-TV in Los Angeles with Baxter Ward and became one of Ward's deputies when the former anchor man was elected to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in 1972. At the time of his death, he was reported to have been working on an autobiography. Surviving are his wife, Maxine, a daughter, two stepdaughters, a brother, five grandsons and three great-grandsons.

Clarence J. Berne; Emeritus Surgery Professor at USC Clarence J. Berne, emeritus professor of surgery at the USC School of Medicine and the physician who headed a Los Angeles County Hospital surgical unit in the heart of the Burmese jungle during World War II, died Tuesday in Los Angeles. The former chairman of the department of surgery at USC and the county hospital was 83 and specialized in operations of the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract. Berne, who came to USC in 1932, was named acting chairman of the surgery department at the university and the hospital in 1938 and served until 1969 when he retired.

Berne, who was on staff at the Hospital of the Good Samaritan, was part of a team of specialists stationed at a U.S. base near the border of India and Burma in the early years of the war. Even their nurses were recruited from the Los Angeles area and trained here before being shipped as a unit overseas. Berne received the Bronze Star for his wartime services. Berne, who earned his medical degree from the University of Iowa in 1927, is survived by his wife, Esther; two sons; a sister; six grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren.

A memorial service will be held Jan. 9 at the Hospital of the Good Samaritan. Donations in his name may be sent to the USC Department of Surgery Research Fund, 1200 N. State Room 9900, Los Angeles 90033. PERZIK, Saaunl, M.D.

"We're talking about a system that, in effect, I guess by omission, was allowing a crisis to brew despite the warnings," Fox said. "We are grateful to God that we escaped this. And I wish that I could promise my wife and kids that this will never happen again. But I can't promise that." Los Angeles Police Lt. Robert E.

Kimball said detectives today will ask the district attorney's office to charge Gracyalny with six counts of attempted murder. Crisis Center Gracyalny, who is blond, stands 5-foot-7 and weighs 115 pounds, according to Department of Motor Vehicle Records, came to Fox as a referral from a crisis center for which he consults, Fox said. Fox said he counseled Gracyalny for "under a dozen hours" between November, 1982, and March, 1983, before the harassment and vandalism began. Citing the doctor-patient relationship, he refused to say why she sought therapy. He said he was unable to ascribe a motive to the attacks.

"It rarely has anything to do with the therapist," he said. Speaking slowly, Fox described the terror that struck shortly after 7:30 Sunday night. "I was taking my children out of the car and the assailant, I don't know where she came from, possibly out of the bushes, stepped onto the lawn, crouched in a sort of Rambo-executioner position, muttered something about 'It's time to kill and then began firing from a .38 caliber revolver. Fox said police later told him that Gracylany had purchased the gun herself. Because she had never been convicted of anything more serious than a misdemeanor, authorities told him the sale was legal, Fox said.

During the minutes that followed, Gracyalny emptied the chamber, reloaded, and emptied it again, Fox said. "My daughter was on the ground and bleeding. My wife screamed at my older son to take the kids into the garage and hide, and they made it into the garage," Fox said. "There was blood all over the driveway. I ran around the side of the house, and she came after me," he continued.

"I picked up a lawn chair, a patio chair, to shield my face and she came at me shooting. I just learned this afternoon that the bullet actually went through the chair. It would have been roughly an inch from my head. Tackled Woman "At some point, I charged the assailant and I did manage to tackle her. She had the gun in her hand.

My wife came out at that point and screamed She was bleeding in both legs, she was actually on her knees. She managed to bite the fingers that were clutching the gun until the gun became loose. At that point we yelled out, 'We've got the gun. We've got the Neighbors yelled out the police are here." A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Psychological Assn. said Tuesday that, in an interview Monday, she had given The Times incorrect information on Fox's academic credentials.
