A case for heredity? Dr. N. A. McNiel of A&M thinks so. The associate profes sor of genetics in the Plant Sci ences Department lists a number of what he believes are solid conclusions after a year-long study of a large West Texas family: —Detached retina in humans is inherited as an autosomal dom inant gene. This means a child of a parent carrying the gene for the ailment stands almost a 50-50 chance of developing the trouble. The affliction can strike at any age. —Very little research has been done recently on detached retina fro mthe genetic standpoint. —Many doctors, and some ophthalmologists, are apparently unaware of its genetic nature. —Doctors who do recognize the role of heredity in the affliettion tend to attach minor significance to it. —Frequent medical examina tion of persons subject to the affliction may prevent many cases of blindness. The condition is a tearing or peeling of a thin lining on the inside rear of the eyeball. The lining contacts the optic nerve. When the weakness exists, sud den and complete tearing or fold ing of the lining can occur if the person’s body is jolted or if the eyeball’s interior pressure is sud denly increased. Pressure rises, for example, when a person bends over to pick up something or blows a wind instrument. Blindness comes swiftly. In more typical cases, the peel ing and tearing is a slow, pain less process, and visual symptoms may be absent or overlooked. But blindness, when it strikes, is still sudden. McNiel says surgical repair is possibl eif the conditio nis de tected early enough. The latest method is “spot-welding” the tear back into place with a laser beam. LAS VEGAS, Nev. While billionaire Howard Hughes re portedly vacations in the Ba hamas, two groups are battling in court for control of his Nevada empire. Each has a document purportedly investing it with Hughes authority. Executives of Hughes Tool Co. are trying to prove he signed a proxy statement giving them full control of his $300-million Neva da holdings. Robert Maheu, who has man aged Hughes’ Nevada property si^ice the industrialist arrived four years ago, has produced a note which he says is evidence of “his purpose to make me the trustee of his stock in the Hughes Tool Co. itself,” which would have given Maheu control of almost the entire Hughes for tune. The tool company executives fired Maheu Saturday and he sued. Claiming to be beyond the company’s control, Maheu ob tained a restraining order pre venting the company forces from interfering with his stewardship of Hughes’ Nevada operations. In affidavits filed with the court and disclosed Tuesday, Ma heu contended that: —Hughes became ill in Sep tember and “thereafter his medi cal condition became progres sively worse. He largely discon tinued business activities.” —Hughes “left the premises or was removed” from his Dessert Inn penthouse in Las Vegas Thanksgiving Eve through the back entrance of the hotel in a departure engineered by the tool company forces. —Hughes Tool Co. planned to fire 155 key people in Nevada after it took control from Ma heu. The tool company men went to court Tuesday seeking to have Maheu’s restraining order quash ed and introduced the proxy statement, purportedly signed by Hughes, giving them the power to vote his tool company stock. Maheu’s lawyer said he had sent the proxy to Washington for analysis by a handwriting expert and offered to introduce an unopened telegram that he said gave the expert’s analysis of the signature. Judge Howard Babcock said the telegram would have to be introduced later in the hearing. One of Maheu’s affidavits con tended that prior to March 1967 Hughes said he would make Ma heu “trustee of his stock in the Hughes Tool Co.” Inserted into the affidavit was what Maheu described as a copy of a handwritten Hughes note to him. Addressed to “Bob” and bearing no signature or date, the copy said: “I have your message. I do not feel your apprehension is the least bit unjustified. If I give Johnson to have knee surgery HOUSTON WP>—Charley John son, starting Houston Oiler quarterback, will undergo knee surgery Thursday. An Oiler spokesman said John son has medial and lateral carti lage damage to the right knee. Johnson, a 10-year veteran, suffered a broken left collarbone Oct. 18 but began playing again in about four weeks with a special protection plate on his shoulder. you my word to find a solution promptly, such as a voting trust for my Hughes Tool Co. 'stock, and if I put the formalities into a state of effectiveness for your scrutiny without any unreason able delay, will you consider it done as of now, so your mind will not be filled with these thoughts in the near future?” A tool company official said the note in no way said the vot ing trust would be given to Ma heu. The official said the voting trust proposal mentioned could refer to a trust established for the purchase of Nevada real estate. The tool company group and Maheu met for more than an ihour Tuesday in the office of Nevada Gov. Paul Laxalt seek ing a settlement. A state offi cial who sat in, Gaming Commis sion Chairman Jack Diehl, said he expected “some solution” in a few days. AGGIES ... DON’T DELAY!
