(AP) The Center for Disease Control is launching a program to teach state health officials how to detect sickle cell anemia, a blood disease that primarily affects blacks. be teaching the laboratory skills necessary to detect not only sickle cell anemia, but various other types of hemoglobin said Dr. Robert M.

Schmidt, acting chief of the hematology section of the CDC. The federally operated center, part of the U.S. Public Health Service, has been working for a year to establish the national training program, said Schmidt, and 36 representatives from 28 states begin their first training July 18. Ultimately, Schmidt added in an interview, widespread screening for hemoglobin abnormalities could lead to etic counseling for persons whose marriage likely would produce ill children. An estimated million blacks carry in their genes the traits that cause sickle cell anemia.

If two carriers marry and have four children, for example, the odds are that one will get the disease, two will inherit the trait and only one will have a normal hemoglobin. Perhaps 50,000 now suffer from the painful, life-shortening disease for which there is no known cure. Schmidt said the CDC training course will aid state health officials in clinically identifyng up to 4 per cent more hemoglobin abnormalities. One of the methods used in sickle cell screening, electrophoresis, costs five to 15 cents per test and one technician can easily perform 200 to 300 tests a day. MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) For three years. Sen. George McGovern told reporters and politicians how he planned to win the Democratic presidential nomination. He would run in the primaries, doing well in New Hampshire and winning in Wisconsin. He would speak out boldly on the issues, relying on his rivals to stumble and fall.

Until he captured the Wisconsin primary April 4, few believed McGovern, who complained that no one took him seriously. But the script laid out by the 49-year-old South Dakota senator has turned out to be the only accurate forecast of the 1972 Democratic primary campaign. An amazed Democratic party now finds itself with McGovern as its presidential nominee. The least surprised person is McGovern. know it would happen just this he told a reporter.

WASHINGTON (AP) About one-third of the 23 million blacks lived below the official poverty level in 1971, marking little change from a year earlier, the Census Bureau reported Wednesday. In an annual report on the social and economic status of the black population, the bureau said 7.4 million or 32 per cent of blacks lived below the official poverty level of $4,137.

This compared with 7.5 million or 34 per cent in 1970. But the figure was higher than the 7.2 million blacks who lived below the poverty level in 1969, although the percentage, 32. in that year wa.s the same. The bureau said that about 1.5 million black families were below the poverty level last year, or al)out 29 per cent of all Hack families, no change from the year earlier. The figures showed that the number of whites living below the official poverty level actually increased by 300,000 last year to 17.8 million or 10 per cent of the white population.

The percentage was unchanged, however, from recent years. 'Hie number of white families living below the official poverty line was 3.8 million, compared with 3.7 million a year earlier. This represented about eight per cent of all white families, the same rate that has prevailed since 1968. Despite the figures showing a virtual standstill on income, the bureau said black Americans are continuing to make substantial social and economic advances. For instance, it said the small of black families young families living in the North and West in which both the husband and wife work, reported significant income strides.

The bureau said that young black wives in the North and West earned about 30 per cent more than their white part.s. The median income level for black families increa.sed slightly from $6,279 in 1970 to last year. The bureau said that on the average, for every $100 in income by a white family in 1971, a' black family received $60. In other findings, the repcud said that the black population is essentially metropolitan, with le.ss than one-half of the black population now living outside the South being natives of that region. Alwut 32 per cent of black families are headed by women, the report said.

some of his closest advisers. Indeed, when McGovern de- his candidacy on Jan. 19, 1971, a year ahead of the usual starting time, the public opinion polls set his popularity at under 5 per cent. He had little support from politicians and even less from labor leaders. They said he was a one-issue candidate with his opposition to the war appealing only to students and radicals.

But the doubters failed to anticipate the collap.se of Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, the mood of protest in the country and own organizational ability, persistence, determination and confidence. McGovern briefly sought the presidency in 1968 in the place of the slain Robert F. Kennedy.

He received votes at the Chicago convention which nominated Hubert H. Humphrey. McGk)vern succeeded, however, in identifying himself with the antiwar and reform forces who, though beaten at Chicago, vowed to have a place in the convention hall and in the majority. As a first step, McGovern returned to South Dakota and was re-elected to the Senate by 38,000 votes.
