Monday, April 2, 1973 Contraceptive pill for males on way BOSTON (AP) Researchers at Boston University have developed a biochemical test they say defrmines the proper balance of hormones to make an effective male contraceptive pill which does not alter male sex drive. With the test, they developed a treatment, 'similar in com position to female contraceptive pills, which stops sperm cells production in male rats, but maintains mating behavior, or 'Friendship store' opened in Peking PEKING (Reuter) Peking opened its new "friendship store" for foreign residents and visitors Sunday. Its star item was a piece of green jade set in a gold ring and costing about 596,000. The sjpre, which sells Chairman.

Georgia Residents of Conyers, sift through debrisS horae Sunday morning following Saturday night tornado. Note house By United Press International Damage that could run high as several hundred million dollars from tornadoes that killed eight persons and injured around 500 others in Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia.

The cost in Georgia alone was estimated at $100 million by Gov. Jimmy Carter, who said, "This, economically speaking, is the worst natural disaster we've ever had in this state." The twisters struck northwest Georgia Saturday night, killing two persons and injuring about 400 others, and then skipped into South Carolina, where six persons were killed, 35 injured and .400 left homeless. Thirty-two persons were hurt, one critically, in a tornado that struck Fairfax County, damaging 42 stories, 10 apartment buildings and 20 houses. "Damage obviously will be in the millions of dollars," said Fairfax county information director Edmund Castillo. Athens appeared to be the hardest hit area of Georgia, with about 1,000 persons without lights and about 2,500 without phone service.

"This is certainly the worst tornado I've ever seen," said South Carolina Gov. John West following a helicopter tour of the damaged area in his state. Even though it covered a rela tively small area, the people who lived in that area were literally wiped out." Slaton's Motel at Calhoun Falls, S.C was ripped from its foundation by the tornado. The debris from the motel was spread along a 500 yard area on the opposite side of the high way. Four of the deaths occurred at the one-storey wooden motel.

The other two persons killed in South Carolina were children who died in an Abbeville residential section. A rare but devastating-tornado pummeled two shopping centres, expensive homes and potency, the researchers said Friday. Dr. Charles Terner, professor of Biology, and his team published results of their studies in the March issue of tht British Journal of Reproduction and Fertility. Dr.

Terner says the concept of chemical sterilization of the male is "not all that new, but we developed a treatment and got it to work." Past attempts at developing birth control pills for men have had the serious drawbacks of increasing impo- tency or overstimulating the prostate gland and making it vulnerable to cancer. Dr. Terner stresses that it may be years before the male "pill" is marketed for humans because much more testing is needed. He added that such a pill is needed to give men a wider choice of contraceptives and to take some of the burden of contraception from women.

In a spokesman for Refugees watch orTV as homes disappear HEYMAEY, Iceland (AP) -Refugees from this volcanic island are suffering the torture of watching on television as their homes are reduced to ashes by an unstoppable tide of lava.

Iceland's television, when not transmitting regular programs, is tuned to this island where, a new volcano erupted two months ago. Since then a lava stream 30 feet deep has consumed more than a quarter of the 1,200 buildings here in Iceland's most important fishing port. Moving 60 to 90 feet a day, the red-hot wave is threatening to block the harbor and rob the islanders of their livelihood. Each new edition of Iceland's newspapers carries a street map marking the advance of the lava as it takes out a row of houses, fills the swimming pool, knocks out the post office, the power station and oozes into the -dock area, destroying a modem fish-freezing plant. Yet if the eruption stops, most of the 5,300 population want to go back.

When that will be if ever nobody knows. Geologists won't commit themselves to any prediction, since mere's nothing so contrary as a volcanic eruption. It could be over, in a month. as Mayor Magnus Magnusson hopes, or it could go on for years. Measles fatal to 800 OUAGADOUGOU (AP) -Nearly 800 persons have died in a measle? epidemic in Upper Volta since the beginning of the year, Foreign Minister Joseph Conombo announced Saturday.

100 bands had passed and the staging area was still jammed. The marching contingents waved American flags and roared their thanks toward servicemen in the reviewing stand, where Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson, U.S. Labor Secretary Peter J.

Brennan and other politicians watched. Minutes after hardhut marching labor groups tossed their helmets appreciated into the stand, about 100 Vietnam Veterans Against the war paraded by and chanted slogans such as, "No honor here, no honor there. We need jobs, not Nixon's Air Canada said Father Ber rigan was approached for' investigation by the flight officer, accompanied by an RCMP officer, because of his "unusuak con duct." Airport authorities later said Father Berrigan was observed wandering in restricted flight areas and became angry when asked to leave. In the telephone- interview, Father Berrigan described his experience at the airport as "degrading" and suggested Ca nadian officials may have been under instructions from the United States state department. He said he had gone through all the formalities of inter rogation including the baggage search and once on board the plane was approached by a stewardess who -said-there was an RCMP officer who wanted to see him at the door.

'This is. the most patriotic crowd I've ever seen in New York," said a spectator near the reviewing stand, where the throng booed the antiwar vets. Mayor Lindsay, an early war foe, had set a conciliatory Wne for the march in declaring the day as "Home with Honor" day. He said: "Where Americans across the nation were once divided, we unite now in a salute to the homecoming of all who served and especially those who were PoWs or wounded and the mem ories of all who fell in Berrigan won't return until he gets apolpgy WINNIPEG (CP) Rev.

Father Berrigan, scheduled to address University of Manitoba reported that he was wandering around with glazed eyes and straying into a restricted area barred to passengers," a com pany spokesman said. "Without knowing who he was, the captain of the Winni peg flight asked the man to come forward to the cabin for a chat before takeoff. "It was done in, an informal. friendly way but the passenger refused to co-operate. When asked for identi fication, he said 'if that's the way they treat you in Canada, I'm going back to the United and insisted on leaving the plane." Airline officials said Father Berrigan was not wearing- a clerical collar beneath his fringed leather jacket.
