ed to scatter 100 MX missiles
among 1000 shelters in the

bomber while a more advanced,
radar-eluding Stealth aircraft is
developed, sources said Wed
nesday
A key Senate source, asking
anonymity, said he understands
Reagan has not settled on
which states will house the new
generation of nuclear missiles
The possibilities include shut
tling them, shell-game fashion,
on desert land in Nevada and
possibly Utah, or basing some in
existing Minuteman missile silos
in other states
The president is to announce
those multibillion-dollar
decisions on Friday as he dis

FTC ends TV
proceedings
WASHINGTON
The Federal Trade Commis
sion on Wednesday ended con
troversial proceedings that
once threatened to ban some
television ads aimed at young
children
The FTC opened the
proceedings in 1978. saying
such ads might be unfair or
deceptive especially to children
too young to understand their
selling purpose
The television and advertising
industries said parents, not the
goverment, should regulate
what their children see on TV
and accused the commission of
setting itself up as the "national
nanny."
Last year, Congress respond
ed to an extensive lobbying
campaign and slowed down the
proceedings by saying that any
regulation could be based only
on deception
The commission said Wed
nesday that the issues are too
complex and too far from re
solution to justify further ex
pense "We cannot justify
sacrificing other important en
forcement priorities to its con
tinuation, ' the FTC said

BOISE, Idaho

sure on an Idaho state senator
to try and prevent a witness from
testifying in a $20 million lawsuit
against the company, an attor
ney for nine children said in U S

Heart-attack
victims aided
BOSTON
Researchers have found that
a clot-dissolving medicine pro
tects people from the damage
that usually follows heart at
tacks, and they say the dis
covery could profoundly
change the way doctors treat
victims of America s leading
killer
Dr John Markis said the new
approach, which is being
studied at several medical
centers, could have as dramatic
an effect on the treatment of
heart disease as the develop
ment of coronary bypass sur
gery more than a decade ago
With the new therapy, doctors
are able to dissolve blood clots
that block coronary arteries and
starve heart muscle during
heart attacks When blood is
flowing again, the heart muscle
functions normally without ap
parent serious damage
