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

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

“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

it has almost seemed as though the

witness was on trial rather than her

Defense attorneys have spent five
days trying to discredit the tes

T. Cullen Davis is on trial for the

with wounding Mrs. Davis, murder
