Sreenville Advocate II June 1972 X-Ray Crystallography Hew Cancer Cure Tool; By Universily Of Washington How Employed SEATTLE, Wash. -fUPD-A technique called x-ray crystallo-graphy is being used by a University I Washington professor to plumb the depths of protein molecules in one phase of the scientific war 1 against cancer and other diseases. Dr. Lyle H. Jensen, a professor of biological structure in the universitys School of Medicine, said that new technique may become an Important weapon for doctors once the secrets of the complex inner structures of proteins are understood.

The discovery of the configur. ation of these building blocks of -life depends on this technique which has come into use in the field of medical research only in the last five years. The x-rays penetrate the extremely minute, yet highly mapping other protein, Jensen hopes to facihte the finding of way to cure other diseases, Filled with Machiaes If we can learn how nature is built, we can better understand how nature functions, he said. If you want to fix something in a building, you have to know the floor plan. The x-ray process takes place in a small room in the Health Science Center on the campus The room is filled with machines, including computers.

These Machines are used to analyze a protein cyrstal which may measure no more than 15-thousandtbs of an inch in size. X-ray beams are directed through a crystal of the protein. As the x-ray interacts with the amino acids, the rays are deflected and measured by a quantum counter. The values from the counter are then passed to a computer. The computer prints out a numerical electron density map.

Map Shews The Way Jensen translates these figures into a contour map which shows the amino acid groups of the protein. The electron density map is then translated nto three dimensional models of wood or plastic showing the long chains of amino acids. Complete structures of large piotein, such as carbonic anhydrase or insulin, with all its amino acides and subgroups 'may take years to develop.

Less than five years after Chinese mobs sacked the British diplomatic mission in Peking at the height of the ctiHurs fpvnliihorj thm is serious talk of a visit by Prime Minister Edward Heath to the Chinese capital. Britain more than 20 years ago was among the first Western countries to recognize China and break off diplomatic relations with But relations were never really warm. 1 The two courttrtes maintained diplomatic missions nr each others' capitals headed only by charges daffaires instead of full ambassadors. Trade between them was on a small scale, Britain's flourishing crown colony of Hong Kong on the Chinese coast was a source of chronic friction.

This came to a head the summer of -1967 when the colony was racked by Communist-inspired rioting. It was soon after this that the British diplomatic- mission 'in Peking was sacked.

By visiting British table tennis team was as warmly received in Peking as was an American squad. Britain backed S. moves to admit China to the United Nations. The diplomatic payoff came nn March 13 when Britain and China announced establishment of full diplomatic relations and appointment of ambassadors to each others capitals for the first time in 22 years. Britain's charge daffaires John Addis was named ambassador to China.

Peking followed suit in May by naming Sung Cih-kuang, a former ambassador to East Germany, to be its ambassador in London. Britain also Is making a pitch to sell the Anglo-French Concorde supersonic jetliner to China, although officials are not overly optimistic the Chinese Will buy it. Foreign Secretary Sir Alec Douglai-Home is scheduled to fly to Peking at the end rof October for the first visit by a top-ranking British cabinet minister to the Chinese capital since the Communist revolution. British officials hope this could lead to genuinely warm relations between the two governments. Heath has also said he hopes fo pay a similar yisit sometime, although officials say this is unlikely before a visit iby the Chinese foreign minister to London.

slayings of John Chadow Jr, 34, and Sandra Cole, 35, who were bludgeoned to death at their apartment The murder weapon was believed to be a small pickax. Still at large were two men who picked up hitchhikers Bill Pieresa, 22, and his half-brother, Tim Carlswell, 23, both of Westminster, Calif. The men allegedly pulled a knife and fatally stabbed Carlswell during a robbery attempt. Pieresa managed to escape unharmed. The sixth victim was Alex Edward Lewandoski, 44, who was found lying a street here Friday with eight stab wounds in his chest.

Lt. James Lynch, commander of the Long Beach homicide detail, said it was disconcerting because he only had eight men to investigate the five slayings. It Is unusual that we should have this many homicides in such a short period, he added. Flu Shot Plan For Elderly ATLANTA (UPD-The Center for Disease Control (CDC) Said Friday it would recommend flu shot? for the elderly and chronically ill but not for the general public. The CDC said flu shots have been generally ineffective in certain cases, some persons have had adverse reactions and the flu virus itself is subject to periodic change.

However, the CDC said for the chronically ill or elderly the protection helped to ward off more serious cases of influenza and its complications. Because some influenza occurs each year, annual immunization of high risk patients is, indicated -as a routine procedure regardless of the amount of influenza expected any geographical area," said the CDC. The center said it approved, but did not push, the idea of giving flu shots to emergency personnel such as policemen, firemen and teachers. It recommended the shots for persons suffering congenital and rheumatic heart disease, asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, emphysema, advanced diabetes and mellitus.

(UPI) The apparent ax murder of a 20-year-old Downey, Calif man brought to six the number of persons hacked, stabbed or beaten to death in the Long Beach Compton area since Thursday. Five of the murders were in this beach city, which has only an eight-man homicide detail. The sixth occurred in adjacent Compton rLong Beach, police said there was no connection between the killings, which included' one double murder.

Three suspects have been arrested. The, latest victim was Keith Bolla, 20, Downey, whose body was found in a vacant house Compton Friday. Police said he apparently had been killed with an ax 12 to 18 hours earlier. There was evidence of a struggle, but officers said he had not been robbed. Two 18-year-old youths were being questioned by Long Beach police for the slaying of security guard Michael Paul Kach, 61, on Thursday.
