meeting between Sadat and Begin since last Christmas in Egypt when their dramatic peace contacts started losing steam and heading toward collapse Powell said Carter laid the groundwork by holding separate two-hour meetings with each man beforehand Although aides have said Carter's plan is to shun fixed agendas and ease into the issues in a conversational way the three men eventually will have

conference with an appeal for the prayers of mankind the three leaders started into their labors in complete privacy and with none of their advisers present said White House press secretary Jody

discussion or describe the atmosphere of the meeting Photographs showed Carter in sports attire and Sadat and Begin in coat and tie seated at a wooden table on the patio Carter was grinning and Begin was smiling at Sadat who was gesturing in illustration of some comment Earlier the three leaders issued their first joint statement from the ultra-private summit in Carter's guarded mountaintop retreat It was an inspirational appeal White House aides said was framed by Carter and approved by Sadat and Begin "As we meet here at Camp David" it said "we ask people of all faiths to pray with us

proved Wednesday as the campaign directors for both gubernatorial contenders scrutinized the numbers published this week by the California Poll By GEORGE ALEXANDER Los Angeles Times DUARTE A team of California scientists has successfully made a biological carbon-copy of human insulin using a man-made gene for the blueprint of this hormone and bacteria as the production line The development is expected to have major impact on the treatment of diabetes a blood sugar disorder that affects at least 10 million Americans and perhaps ten times that many worldwide A diabetic is unable to convert certain foods into the heat and energy necessary to operate his or her body The problem is thought to be due either to insufficient levels of insulin in the body the hormone which makes the conversion possible or to some irregularities in the individual's cell walls In either event the addition of insulin helps the diabetic carry out essential processes "It means" said Dr Rachmiel Levine deputy director of research at the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte where a significant part of this achievement was carried out "that in a short time the large-scale production of native (human) insulin will be possible" Speaking at a Wednesday press conference formally announcing this development Levine said that the advent of man-made human insulin would have three major es: It will provide diabetics with a form of insulin identical to that normally produced by the human body and thus gradually phase out the use of animal insulin Some diabetics experience negative reactions to pig and cow insulin It ought to be less expensive than the other forms of insulin now in use It should alleviate the problem of supplying a growing population of See Back Page A28 Cot 1 The Aug 12-26

better after taking the controversial sub stance But researchers said the findings do not prove Laetrile is effective in treating cancer The results of the review re leased Wednesday will be used by the National Cancer Institute in deciding whether to begin human testing of Laetrile the trademark for a substance derived from the chemical amygdalin found naturally in the pits of apricots and peaches and in bitter almonds Although at least 70000 patients have been treated with Laetrile in the United States over the past two decade'' researchers said only 93 cases were submitted for review Researchers emphasized that no conclusions about the benefits of Laetrile can be drawn from the study Even in the six positive cases they said the patients' improvement could have been caused by other factors such as their diet or "the unmeasurable ingredient of hope" "We were hoping to get many more cases so that we would have a better feel" said Dr Neil Ellison who directed the study for the National Cancer Institute "This certainly wasn't any overwhelming testimony to the supposedly hundreds of cases out there that responded to Laetrile" The federal research was published in today's
