European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 14, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page2 the stars and stripes saturday. September 14,1985 scientists map 3-d makeup of cold Vire breakthrough could help find cure for Many Hui a menus Washington a it s no a cure for the com Mon cold but it could be the biggest step yet in that direction As Well As a Ray of Hope to finding cures Tor other More deadly diseases researchers say. Scientists said wednesday they had mapped the three dimensional makeup of a microscopic cold causing virus the  time any human virus has been completely detailed including tiny Points of vulnerability where future vaccines or other drugs might be aimed. The composite image was produced from data fed into a super computer. Since viral agents Are to blame for Many human ail ments including the deadly As Well As the annoying the new findings could be significant in fights against diseases ranging from Stuffy noses to multiple sclerosis to leukaemia and even perhaps the mysterious aids virus said Thelma or researcher Purdue University professor "1 Mann. He told a roomful of reporters tha Rny viruses can cause colds meaning there Mav or  be a one shot sneeze and sniffles prevent Iii i Gene. However he said traps tight of his group s findings it May he possible Tominna cure for the cold that May not be along the Lino a classic vaccine a drug for exam pie that instead of attacking the virus itself would lure it away from areas where it might otherwise attach to healthy cells. Seeing the detailed makeup of cold viruses Down three Hundred millionths of a centimetre chances of developing effective anti Viraj is Rel much More possible absolutely he said. Still Rossmann  would be up to others to develop drug Cou of applications for his find Ings which  done in collaboration with a  headed by Roland Rueckert and whichj00trided heavily on High technology Machin Ery Atuk Treue and Cornell universities. For its broader significance the work adds up to a Ood Basic piece of information William Allen a virology program officer with the National Institute of allergy and infectious diseases said in an interview following the news conference. Allen said Rossmann and or. Robert Gallo of the National cancer Institute were setting up another Experiment aimed at similar three dimensional charting of leukaemia linked viruses. And he said the virus that apparently causes the deadly acquired immune deficiency syndrome or aids could eventually be part of that project though Success my Jim the necessary aids crystals is very up _ Lossmann said the virus his group mapped known As Hrv-14, is a 20-sided, soccer Ball shaped Structure with a protein Shell surrounding a Core of the genetic material ribonucleic acid. The National science foundation and the National institutes of health helped pay for the Experiment which relied on such modern technology As Purdue s supercomputer and the Cornell University High Energy synchro tron source. Laboriously grown virus crystals were subjected to x rays at Cornell where the synchrotron collected More than 6 million bits of information which were then Analysed by Purdue s supercomputer. The Purdue computations alone would have taken 10 Yean without such a computer Ross Mann said. In fact he said he d been wanting to conduct such experiments for More than 20 years but they were simply impossible Befoy development of such advanced Machin Ery. The findings also were being published in the British science journal nature. Scientist says a liner was Nearl but did t help titanic passengers Washington a tragedy need t have existed with the 1912 sinking of the titanic because a nearby ship the Californi could have rescued the Passen Gers who died a scientist who discovered the Lunken vessel claims. There is no doubt it the californian could have gone in there and rescued those people when the elegant liner struck an iceberg and went Down Robert Ballard told reporters wednesday. Ballard 43, chief scientist of the . French team that found the titanic in 13,000 feet of water about 560 Miles from Newfoundland on sept. 1, said his evidence shows the californian i Captain did t re port his position  the californian made no at temp reach the wreck in which More than people perished he said. About 700 people were res Crafft largely because a third ship a apr carpathia steamed to tie scene a frn the titanic foundered on in Mzhen voyage from Southampton a numb to new York. Ballard Obj unused to disclose the to Uitich i local pm because scavengers might seek it out said there is no doubt that that tragedy need t have  the californian was inside of 10 Miles perhaps As close As four Miles and there if no doubt it could have gone in therell rescued those people. It s just tragic i d like to say More about Jan but i probably should to Bullas Jeffia. What i be said already in t pc the role of the Paiit Fafian in the disaster has been debate juror years. Passengers aboard the Lemra liner Taw the titanic s distress rods tand running lights. Thead no Way it could have been that far a when to tee that kind of detail in conditions Ballard said. The scientist said the titanic was found Only after the .-French team concluded that the Captain of the Californi Astanley lord had misrepresented his position rela Tive to the doomed vessel because of hit vested  the behaviour of the carpathia proved of most importance to us in finding the wreck said Ballard. That skipper was a Doggone Good  Ballard also disclosed that after mowing the ims searching the sea floor time of gain with highly advanced technology gear the titanic actually was found by a 25-year-old Echo sounder it could have been done in a fishing  Ballard is a scientist at the Woods Hole oceanographic institution funded by the Navy. It co sponsored the search for the titanic with the French Institute for re search and exploration of the sea. Ballard in a 90-minute press briefing at the National geographic society Headquarters reiterated that be believes the titanic should be left at her grave. It s a memorial he said. It belongs where it is and should remain  the scientist released photographs of the Tiu inic taken by two unmanned research be Juls some showing great detail such As unbroken plates and wine bottles. He said he and fellow researchers were surprised to find the vessel in essentially one piece although most of the item was broken off and Only the Middle two of four smokestacks still remain. We could t wipe the grins off our faces for the longest while he said at finding the ship so intact. Navy bugs7 have an for hand ing a dirty cd by Norman Black Washington a cleaning towage tanks on Navy ships is not a Job that anybody would relish. That s Why . Wicky Chiera thinks he s finally found the perfect employees. Cd Era is a civilian shop superintendent at the Norfolk va., naval shipyard re upon Tilc for cleaning and repairing Chat tanks on Navy ships. Chat for collection and holding tank is a Navy euphemism for a sewage tank. Until recently the tank were i with caustic soda and scrapers waded by humans protected by special juber suits respirators and . Now Chiera begins the proof Rah my bugs a special  bacteria that when give jaw proper mixture of air and  eat a Chat tank Down to itt Bac Metal skin in two Dayi time. Such mixture of dried bacteria have been told in grocery stores for Yean to Homeowner with septic tanks., convinced the Navy that  could develop a More  the service could save a lot 4jjbne and Money. If it worked of optic tank then i figured by god would work on a ship he says. It the amp was a new Breed of Bug a for the Navy by a Birmingham term Seybron Gamlen under the in name Gama yme 700-Fn. Chiera literally waxes poetic about the results the Navy s Happy because Over the Pant year Chiera s bugs have cleaned 32 clogged tanks at an estimated savings of $600,000. All you have to do is pour them in add Little water and they do the rest say Chiera. They literally pork out on everything. We already had dried bacteria in the shop store system but nothing could come close to comparing with Gama yme 700 in for appetite. When the other Brand gave up my bugs were waiting for  in his first major Experiment with the bacteria Back in 1981, Chiera turned the bugs Loose on the Chat tanks of the air Craft Carrier Eisenhower. They took on the tanks like champs says Chiera. And we did t expose our people and were Able to reduce the num Ber who had to get the  Chiera says he later calculated the Cost of cleaning each of the eight Chat tanks 22. V1,6, Eisenhower was reduced from$21,453.60 to $1,552.15. The savings Stem primarily from reduced labor and equip ment costs. Because of Chiera s persistence the Navy has now told All of its Yards to Start using Gama yme. Chiera says the British Navy recently decided to follow suit. For Little critters that operate in the dark and can t be seen the future looks mighty Bright he say. News .update1 Barbie investigation Lyon. France up court officials have ordered further investigation into the wartime activities of Klaus Barbie pushing the opening of the imprisoned nazi War criminal s trial Back until at least the beginning of next year. Legal officials said prosecutors or dered the delay after examining new documents concerning the final group of jews deported to nazi concentration Camps from the Southeast Ern City of Lyon where Barbie was a Gestapo officer. The documents found in govern ment archives contained a list of names of jews deported in the aug. 11, 1944, Convoy. But officials said the list differed from one supplied to the prosecution by nazi Hunter Serge Klarsfeld. Acc rules rejected Washington a another blow was struck against the Feder Al communications commission s so called must carry rules for Cable television by a supreme court Justice who refused to Force Cable television systems to continue carrying All local to signals. Chief Justice Warren e. Burger left intact a Federal appeals court Rul ing that struck Down the rules Asun constitutional. The appeals court Rul ing took effect immediately. Burger was told that television broadcasters especially operators of uhf stations not affiliated with any major network fear that Cable open tors will drop their signals once the rules Are wiped out. The rules entitle television station to insist that its signal be carried and retransmitted on any Cable system serving the station s area. A three judge panel of the us. Circuit court of appeals ruled unanimously july 19 that the acc rules abridge the free speech rights of Cable system operators. Bomb victim Dies. Paterson. .
