Heart attacks prevented by gout drugs
New York-An existing drug used to
treat gout also may be valuable in prevent
ing sudden deaths from heart attacks
among patients who previously have had at
least one attack, according to a study re
ported in the current issue of the New
England Journal of Medicine.
The study involved 1,475 heart attack
patients at 26 medical centers in Canada
and the United States. According to the
study at least 15,000 American lives could
be saved each year if people who have suf
fered a heart attack take the drug,
Anturane, every day.
The $3.75 million project was financed
by the Ciba-Geigy Corp. of Summit, NJ.
Which has marketed Anturane as a medica
tion for gout since 1959 and held a now
expired patent on it.
The findings of the study were submit
ted to the Food and Drug Administration
in December. FDA spokesman Wayne Pines
said it was too soon for officials to decide
whether to grant approval.
Nazi war criminal dies
Soltau, West Germany-Convicted Nazi
war criminal Herbert Kappler, one-time
Gestapo chief of occupied Rome, died of
stomach cancer Thursday at his wife's
home here, five months after he escaped
from an Italian prison, police sources said.
Kappler, 70, was convicted of ordering
the killing of 335 Roman citizens in the
Ardeatine Caves near Rome, on March 24,
1944, only 24 hours after Italian partisans
killed 32 German soldiers on a Roman
street.

The escape of the former Nazi official
last Aug. 15 created a political furor when)
West Germany refused an Italian request
for his extradition.
Kappler's wife helped him escape. She
said in interviews she lowered him from his
Cello military hospital room window to
the ground with mountain-climbing gear.
His weight had dropped to 97 pounds be
cause of his illness.
Canal debate continues
Washington-The pitch of the Panama
Canal debate rose markedly Thursday as
senators on opposing sides interrupted each
other to challenge assertions about the pro
posed new treaty. v
Growing exasperated at the tactic,
Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd,
D-W. Va., trying to deliver a long speech in
favor of ratification, said he no longer
would yield for more than one question
from any senator.
Leading off-the second day of debate
that is- expected to last several weeks,
Byrd got into a heated exchange with op
ponents on the question of whether the
original 1903 treaty between the United
States and Panama was signed by a Pana
manian or a Frenchman. Sen. James
Allen, D-Ala., a leader of the opposition of
the treaty, quoted' from one reference
book to contend that the 1903 document
was signed by nine Panamanians.

I'm an Air Force officer and this is my
sweet chariot. When I visit home people
are happy to see me. And proud. They
say I'm doing my part in the community
by showing the young people and the
adults that you really can make it. You
really' can get your share of A Great
Way of Life.
I also feel good about my position in the
Air Force community. I'm a leader there,
too. I'm someone the other brothers
and sisters I meet in the service can
look to. And it reassures them to know
they have a voice in Air Force matters
that concern them.
