<P- ~,i2 Page 8 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1977 Committee seeks to curb child sex ways abuse United Press International AUSTIN — Decrying child por nography as gn open sewer defiling Texas, Speaker Bill Clayton named an 11-member special committee yesterday to study the problem and recommend ways to eliminate sex ual abuse of youths. “The time to stop this moral out rage is now, Clayton told a capital news conference. Clayton said best guesses are that more than 1.2 million children aged 8 to 16 across the nation are in volved in sex-for-sale activities such as pornography and prostitution. “With over one million runaways a year nationwide and more than 400 a month in Texas, it can be rea sonably assumed that the figures are accurate,” he said. “There are not too many ways an 11-year-old can support himself or herself. ” Clayton noted Texas statistics show reports of sexual abuse of minors have increased 200 per cent in the state since 1974 with more than 625 cases documented. To head the committee Clayton named Rep. Ralph Wallace, D-Houston. Wallace, a freshman legislator, sponsored a package of proposals to outlaw child pornography and re strict sales of pornographic material near schools and churches during the 1977 legislative session. Clayton appointed six senators and four private citizens, Houston banker Bob Lanier, Hereford housewife Margaret Formby, former legislative assistant Chris Stanley of Dallas and the Rev. Fred Bomar of Austin, a Roman Catholic priest who recently headed a Travis County grand jury. “This committee, with the aid and support of our state agencies and cooperation of other law enforce ment entities, can come to grips with this awful business and formu late a plan that will allow the legisla ture to sufficiently halt these ac tivities by making them unprofit able,” Clayton said.

United Press International WASHINGTON — Two separate developments in recent days offer hopeful news to some of the more than 4 million Americans suffering duodenal ulcers. The Food and Drug Administra tion has just approved a new pre scription drug called cimetidine for general use in treating ulcers, and a new study indicates that large doses of antacids help heal ulcers. The FDA action gave Smith Kline and French Laboratories permission to start marketing cimetidine under the trade name of Tagamet. The drug, already in use in England, Canada and a number of other coun tries, is one of a new class of agents that control the secretion of diges tive juices. In some people this gastric acid erodes some of the lining of the stomach and the duodenum — the first part of the small intestine be yond the stomach. Ulcers occur when the gastric acid penetrates layers of the duodenum. Why ulcers develop in some- people and not others is not known. The popular image of the typical ulcer patient as a hard-driving businessman is only partially sup ported by the facts. It is believed smoking and drinking may contrib ute to increased gastric acid secre tion. ? Antacids long have been used by ulcer sufferers. They reduce the acidity of the digestive juices and make them less capable of irritating the linings of the stomach and duodenum. However, there has been dis agreement among specialists on whether they hasten healing. One study reported in 1973 found no such benefit from antacids. The new study conducted by the Center for Ulcer Research and D^i a k ffcii b four times a Education in Los las, found that ulcers was enhanced of antacids. The report wis fished in the New England|:- of Medicine. The problem with large antacids, said Dr. Denis of the National Institute of Aitli Metabolism and Digestive eases, is that patients sooiit| e such a regimen. He said compliance is very poor ov# long term The new drug, cimetidine, nates that problem. Only one three or fc quired. “It’s much easier to give three times a day and to goons than it is to be on this fantasy gime of frequent antacids," V : | thy said in an interview, Cimetidine counters the histamine which stimulates acid secretion. Cimetidine was tested ii than 4,000 patients in 27 natio; healing rates were consist higher in those who took it than in those who did not, Hi ous side effects were seen, There is some evidencefijp 11 gland, however, which that when patients stop It cimetidine, ulcers may recut IM* FDA approved its use foronl m ru months.
