Aud LES WHITTEN
WASHINGTON - An apocry-
phal story lx told about an adver-
tising firm which was asked to
produce a slick campaign to tell
cigarets after the Surgeon Gen-
eral determined they caused
cancer For days, the ad men
agonised over him to overcome
the health-hazard problem At
last, a bright young executive
came up with a slogan for the
new campaign "Cancer is good
for you!"
Huckstering hasn't quite sunk
to that level at Hill and Knowl-
ton, the nation's largest public
relations firm But the New
York firm has secretly proposed
an all-out media offensive to
push a drug that has been linked
to cancer and birth defects,
The drug is estrogen, which
millions of women in meno-
pause take to replace the hor-
mones they have lost But re-
cent tests indicate that use of the
drug increases the risk of cancer
of the uterus.
Ayerst Laboratories, which
produces an estrogen drug called
Premarin, responded to the dan-
ger by adding a warning to the
label. But Hill and Knowlton
viewed the cancer risk merely as
a public relations problem.
"Menopause remains a fash-
ionable topic, cancer is always
current, drug side effects have
not lost their journalistic ap-
peal,” the firm warned. "Sales
could be eroding at an accel-
erating rate.”
Disregarding the medical evi-
dence, the firm called for “a
communications program to pro-
vide quick counteraction” to the
news that estrogen users were
more likely to get cancer. The
PR firm offered to “counter-
act unfavorable publicity inci-
dents" by placing “a compre-
hensive article on the meno-
pause in a major women's mag-
azine." The article would be
slanted, presumably, in favor of
‘‘The prime targets here
would be McCall’s, Ladies Home

book,” the company suggested.

fend the drug oo talk shows

The PR men offered to train
Ayerst spokesmen to rebut
"damaging commentary” by
delivering "a prepared or spon-
taneous comment confidentially
and convincingly.” *
Ayerst flatly rejected the Hill
and Knowlton scheme It "seem-
ed to be insensitive to the con-
cern about cancer and estrogen
therapy." a spokeswoman ex-
plained

sion. declared that the agent had

Internal Revenue's own inspec-
tors cleared Jaffe of the same
charge after an exhaustive. 18-
month investigation He was also
cleared by a federal grand jury
The tough Jaffe didn't take his
suspension lying down He fired
off a sizzling, secret letter to his
superiors on May 2, according to
his lawyer, Jack Solwerwitz
"With its customary short
sightedness," he wrote, “the IRS
has taken action it will have
cause to regret"
He predicted that the judge's
"ruling will be reversed" and
that "the IKS will wind up with
egg on its face." Meanwhile, his
gutless bosses, he charged, had
made him a "sacrificial lamb.”
In suspending Jaffe from the
case, the IRS has abandoned one
of its bat investigators He has
received numerous commenda-
tions for his invatigations of or-
ganized crime cases.
Judge Manos' decision came
during the prosecution of Jack
Payner, a reputed Ohio racke-
teer, who was the first Project
Haven subject to be brought to
court for falsely answering a
bank account quation on the tax
forms. If the decision stands, it
will jeopardize many pending
Project Haven casa, since the
same evidence has been used to
nail other alleged tax evaders.
The evidence, consisting of a
stolen Rolodex file and banking

formant, Norman Casper, who

and your colon function seems

DEAR DR. LAMB — In one
of your columns you men-
tioned that isometric exer-
cises raised the blood
pressure. As an exercise
teacher for pregnant women,
I am interested in knowing
about the mechanism that
causes the increase.
DEAR READER - Blood
pressure will rise any time the
small arteries constrict. The
same amount of blood being
pumped to the body through
smaller arteries results in the
increased pressure.
The small arteries contract
or dilate in response to
several factors
chemical, others as a nerve
reflex response. When a mus-
cle is firmly contracted and
held in that state momentarily
- as a simple firm handshake
- it triggers a reflex
response. The arteries con-
strict and the blood pressure
goes up. This is only momen-
tary, soon the arteries relax
and the blood pressure returns
to normal. Sometimes the
arteries dilate to a size larger
than before the reflex
response. In this case the
pressure may momentarily be
lower than it was before the
muscular, contraction.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I have
diverticulosis. Many years
ago my internist showed me
the X. rays with a number of
pockets coming out of my
colon. At that time the doctor
said I could eat most anything
but to stay away from seeds
and nuts. Three summers ago
I started eating corn on the
cob again and haven't had any
new problems due to the corn
Can I eat seeds, nuts and
tomato skins again? I am go-
ing to try using All-Bran for
bulk.
I have gas some days. It is
always worse after dinner,
but it doesn’t bother me after
breakfast or lunch. Why?
DEAR READER - A cer-
tain amount of gas in the
digestive system — ‘and in
some cases most of it - com-
es from swallowing air. Since
this goes on all day, the
largest amount of gas ac-
cumulates by evening before
your evening meal. So you
notice the gas more when you
add more space-occupying
food at that time.
During the night you don't
swallow air, and your
digestive system is fairly
empty of gas. So you don’t
notice the gas after breakfast
or lunch.
The gas is probably trapped
because of spasm of your
colon. This commonly goes
along with diverticulosis
Many specialists now think
the pockets are small rup-
tures through the wall of the
colon as a result of colon
spasms. The spasms are
thought to be related to a diet
that doesn’t contain enough
cereal fiber.
The only reason for not
eating seeds, nuts and skinsjs
the.concern that one of these
