From Associated Press reports
Shamir new
Israeli PM
IERUSALEM — Yitzhak Shamir
was sworn in as Israel's seventh
prime minister Monday and
pledged to follow the course
charted by Menachem Begin in
Lebanon and the occupied West
Bank.
Shamir won a 60-53 vote of con
fidence with one abstention in
Parliament.
Communist deputy Charlie
Biton was ejected for screaming
insults when Finance Minister
Yoram Aridor was at the podium.
Several other leftists walked out of
the chamber in protest.
Shamir said he would remain
foreign minister, a portfolio he
has held since 1980, and offered
no signs of a change in foreign
policy. He also made no changes
in the 19-minister Cabinet be
queathed to him by Begin, who
resigned on Sept. 15.
Shamir's first test is a financial
crisis that has threatened the
banking system. Rumors of an im
minent devaluation of the shekel
last week triggered big public
dumping of bank stocks and a run
on hard currency.
American
wins Nobel
STOCKHOLM — Barbara Mc
Clintock, an 81-year-old American
whose pioneering research in
genetics went largely unrecogniz
ed for 30 years, won the 1983
Nobel Prize in medicine Monday.
McClintock, who still works at
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on
Long Island, N.Y., becomes the
first woman to receive the prize in
medicine for work she did alone.
The faculty of Sweden's Karolin
ska Institute cited Miss McClin
tock for her discovery of "mobile
genetic elements” in research on
Indian corn. Her work has a bear
ing on research concerning
viruses that carry disease.
"I was overwhelmed at receiv
ing the news of the Nobel com
mittee’s decision this morning,"
McClintock said in a telephone in
terview. "It might seem unfair,
however, to reward a person for
having so much pleasure over the
years, asking the maize plant to
solve specific problems and then
watching its response."
Love Canal
case settled
LOS ANGELES — A proposed
multimillion-dollar settlement in
the Love Canal toxic contamina
tion case was reached between
Otcidental Petroleum and 1,345
residents whose homes were built
on a chemical dump site, thecom
pany and attorneys for the
residents said Monday.
The tentative accord would
resolve 94 percent of the claims
against Occidental Petroleum, Oc
cidental Chemical Corp., the city
of Niagara Falls, N.Y., the county
of Niagara and the Niagara Falls
School District, said Gordon
Reece, spokesman for the Los
Angeles-based Occidental
Petroleum.
The Love Canal Homeowners
Association was notified of the
tentative agreement by mail over
the weekend, and residents,
although pleased, had some reser
vations, said joanne Hale, a
spokeswoman for the group.
"There's been false hope in
Love Canal before," she said.
"How can you get excited about
knowing we can pay for our kids'
leukemia down the line?"
Hooker Chemical and Plastics
Corp., a subsidiary of Occidental,
dumped more than 20,000 tons of
chemical wastes into Love Canal
for a decade before abandoning
the dump in 1953, when it was
sold to the Niagara Falls Board of
Education. A school and a housing
development were built on the
clay-capped dump.
Love Canal became a toxic
waste disaster in August 1978
when state health officials
ordered the evacuation of preg
nant women and children
because of possible contamina
tion of the community by leaking
chemicals from a dumpsite.
Hooker said it had no respon
sibility after selling the property to
the Niagara Falls Board of Educa
tion in 1952. Hooker also said
chemicals did not leak from the
dump until after the city of
Niagara Falls broke the clay seal
that had been placed on top of the
dump.
The settlement "is not an admis
sion of any negligence on the part
of the company and should not be
viewed or interpreted as such,"
said Dr. Armand Hammer, chair
man of Occidental Petroleum.
No nukes on
their street
PORTLAND — Residents of
Portland's Brooklyn street
declared their neighborhood a
"nuclear free zone" in much of a
symbolic gesture.
State Sen. Rod Monroe and Rep.
Shirley Gold joined forty-one
residents Sunday at the home of
Paul and Sharon Ciri for the
unveiling of a sign that Paul Ciri
had made the day before.
The two democrats represen
ting the district and the neighbors
paraded from the Ciri's house tc
35th Avenue with a paper bannei
that read "Give Peace a Chance.'
Neighbors applauded when Cir
unveiled a white metal sign with
red letters. The sign looked as of
ficial as the Neighborhood Watch
sign right above it. "Nuclear Fret
Zone," it read.

Anesthesia
sans needles
ATLANTA — A new drug, potent
enough to anesthetize a human
when applied with a cotton swab
to the nose or mouth, could
remove the need for needles in
cardiac surgery and relieve pa
tients' anxieties, two researchers
4 say.
The synthetic narcotic is called
carfentanil, and it has a much
higher safety ratio than drugs cur
rently used in anesthesia, said Dr.
Theodore Stanley of the Universi
ty of Utah Medical Center's
Department of Anesthesiology,
who has collaborated with Utah
scientist ). David Port in resear
ching the drug.
Stanley, visiting Atlanta on Mon
day for the annual meeting of the
American Society of
Anesthesiologists, learned of the!
drug on a trip to Europe and has
studied it for three years, using it
in animal studies with the Utah
Wildlife Resources Department.
Stanley said the drug had never
been used on humans, but has
been experimented with on
African and North American
animals.
But can you
blow bubbles?
MOSCOW — After announcing
the invention of an "anti-nicotine
gum" for smokers who want to
kick the habit, the Soviet Union
said with regret Monday that it
hasn't been able to find a factory
that can manufacture the gum
commercially.
Everyone agrees the gum in
vented by Vitaly Talapin of
Byeloryssia is a terrific idea, the
government newspaper said, but
it won't be in production for
years.
"We have received requests
from the entire country to send
the Talapin gum. But where can
we get it? The first experimental
batch was produced at the candy
factory Kommunarka. But for
more, we need a special facility,"
N. Savcjenko, Byelorussian Health
Minister, said."In our field there is
none."
Izvestia then went to
Byelorussia's minister of food pro
duction, N. Mizyakin, who
oversees candy factories. But he
offered no hope.
"In coming years we can't pro
duce anti-nicotine gum," he said.
"For this we need a special enter
prise. We can't close a candy fac
tory for the sake of gum."
In September 1982, the
newspaper Sovietskaya Kultura
announced that Talapin had in
vented a gum that helped 90 per
cent of a group of smokers quit
smoking.
