Now Reds Want A
Ice Age Mammoth
Editorials And Opinion
Am
V».V
. . Meanwhile, Soviet sicentists are concerned not -
with white elephants but with something from the
same general family that may be even more of a
problem.
They are trying to regenerate a genuine Ice Age
mammoth from cells taken from frozen animals
entombed in the Siberian tundra for centuries.
„ The idea is to isolate quick-frozen cells that still
harbor life, wed them with sex cells of contem-
porary elephants, subject the result to radiation
treatment and implant it in a female elephant.
And then wait.
One of nature’s miracles may eventually give
them a reasonable fascimile of a mammoth.
The process, as described in reports in the
Soviet newspaper Trud, leaves several questions
unanswered — the major one being why the
Soviets or anyone else would want a mammoth
these days.
Considering the high cost of pet food along with
every other type — and the Soviets now deprived
of U.S. grain supplies — .that’s what you’d call a.

Rogers’ office three times
for Comment on Hansen’s
charges, but were told he
was too busy to talk. On re-
quest, they put their in-

And on the subject of competitive edge, there
are no people who know more about that these
days than the Japanese.
The evidence is in the statistics. The Economic
Planning Agency in Tokyo calculates that Japan
now accounts for 10 percent of the total gross pro-
duct of the world, all the goods and services pro-
duced by all the workers of all the globe’s coun-
tries sufficiently developed to make a measurable
economic contribution.
The Japanese accomplishment is out of all pro-
portion to their numbers — some 113 million of
them, represent only 0.38 percent of the world’s
people. Their crowded islands total less land than
the state of Montana with virtually nothing in the
way of natural resources.
What the Japanese have demonstrated is the
decisive importance of the two resources they
have in abundance*— skill and determination.
Lending A Hand: .While
home buyers and other in-
dividuals in search of credit
are being pole-axed by
double-digit interest rates,
Uncle Sam is making it
easier for corporations and
the federal government to re-
borrow money by selling
bonds.
The best market for cor-
porate and government
bonds these days is foreign
oil fatcats — the very peo-
ple, whose greed is helping
to fuel inflation for the
American consumer. But
the administration is
pushing . a proposal that
would do away with the 30
percent tax foreign in- ~—
vestors are currently re-
quired to pay on interest
they get from U.S. public
and private bond issues.

Hansen is Convinced that
the hearings he calls for
would not only inform the
American public of the
misguided policies that put
the U.S. into its present
humiliating predicament in
Iran, but would probably
secure the release of the
hostages. Indeed, he claims,
to have evidence that pro-

the year.
Today’s highlight in
history:

United States recognized
the Franco government in
Spain after the end of the
Spanish civil war.
On this date:
In 1789, the House of
Representatives held its
first full meeting, conven-
ing in New York City. The
House had tried to transact
business one month earlier,
but lacked a quorum.
In 1853, Cincinnati
became the first American
city to pay salaries to
firemen rather then rely on
volunteers. „
In 1948, the Soviet Onion
began to interfere with traf-
fic between Berlin and West
Germany . The interference
eventually.led to the %rlin
Airlift.

Five years ago: South
Vietnam’s third-largest ci-

THE SHAH’S affinity for
former secretaries of state
Is detailed in several parts
of Hansen’s reports.
Hansen quotes at length
from my column of Dec. 10,
1979, charging, that Kiss-
inger could have dissuaded
the shah from leading the
ruinous oil price rise in
1973, but “held back to ac-
commodate the shah — an
incredible favor worth un-
told billions” to the
monarch.
Hansen also describes
how Kissinger and his .cur-
rent employer, ,Chase
Manhattan Batik Chairman
. David Rockefeller,
pressured Jimmy Carter to
let the shah into this coun-
try last October despite!
^lear warnings that
American personnel in
Tehran might be taken
hostageasa result.
Some of Hansen’s more
serious revelations concern
Kissinger’s predecessor,
Rogers. For exatjtple:
„ ‘Within three months
after he resigned from of-
fice, Rogers turned up as a
director of the shah’s
Pahlavi Foundation aqd ap-
peared as “the attorney of
record for the shah’s
relatives and his bank, the
BankofOmran.”
There was at the time,
Hansen notes, a statute that
made it a criminal offense
to act, within one year of
leaving the , government,

Some non-infectious dis-
eases cause diarrhea. These
include Crohn’s Disease and
ulcerative colitis. There are
other geople who simply have
diarrhea from anxiety. r
I’m sure that you do not use
. it, but alcohol is one cause of.
diarrhea. To some people with ’
a sensitive bowel, coffee,
including the decaffeinated
types, also may cause diar-
rhea. So will tea.
DEAR DR. LAMB - At/
present I'm considering a
tubal ligation. Would you
please write an article on the
possible Side effects?,,About a
year ago we read an article in
a magazine about the effects
of vasectomy
some of the problems that
were mentioned for men, we
decided against that method.
I’m in my early 40s and
about to nave a baby and we
certainly don’t want any more
after this one based on my a£e
and the size of, our. family
already. We need an honest
answer about tubal ligations.
DEAR ftEADER — From a
medical point of view, it’s one
of the safest and surest forms
of birth control. Some of the
questions that have been
njised about vasectomies
have not been observed with
tubal ligations. Specifically,
the problems associated with
the immune system and some
questions about the relation-
ship of fatty-cholesterol depo-
sits in the arteries. Also, tubal
ligations have been done for
years.
