A&M professor
tests cancer drug
By PATTI SHOQUIST
Battalion Reporter
Dr. George C.Y. Chiou, head of the medical pharmacology de
partment at Texas A&M University, says he has tested a drug which
effectively fights neuroblastoma, a nerve cancer that affects children.
In 1975, while at the University of Florida, Chiou developed the
drug bromoacetylcholine (BrACh), which inhibits the growth of
neuroblastoma and prolongs the lives of lab mice.
The disease results from failure of the nerve cells to develop and
function properly as the body grows. Chiou said the disease can be
controlled if detected early; however, the cancer is usually fatal be
cause it spreads rapidly.
The American Cancer Society had granted $32,276 to Chiou’s re
search program. “In this study we want to find the drug regimen that
will best treat the disease, so we can determine what amounts of
injections to use in humans,” he said.
Researchers are concerned about the possible side effects of
BrACh. Chiou said the drug may cause excessive salivation and ab
dominal pain; however, when combined with another drug, atropine,
adverse effects can be eliminated.
Anticipating that testing of lab mice will be completed next year,
followed by prompt approval from the Food and Drug Administra
tion, Chiou said the drug will be ready for testing on humans by 1981.

Judge
suing
court
United Press International
PITTSBURGH — When Judge
Ralph H. Smith Jr. got a parking
ticket, he decided to handle the
matter without revealing that he is a
judge.
Now the Allegheny County
Common Pleas Court judge is suing
everyone involved — not because of
the ticket, he said, but because of
the way he was treated by city em
ployees.
. The judge said the treatment was
humiliating and his rights were vio
lated.
Smith was given a parking ticket
Nov. 22 and appeared for a hearing
Jan. 9. Although he was 15 minutes
early, he said, he was “berated” for
being late.
Smith said when he pointed out
that he was early, the clerk “im
mediately demanded” that (he) sur
render his driver s license and the
evidence he brought with him for
his defense.
The judge said he was told he
would not receive a hearing until he
surrendered his license.
Last Tuesday, he said, he re
ceived a mailed notice warning a
warrant would be issued for his ar
rest for allegedly failing to pay the
parking fine.
On Monday, Smith filed suit
against City Magistrate Louis
Dadowski, Traffic Court clerk
Angela Marasco, police officer

Hubert Sinclair, Constable William
McMeekin and the traffic court it
self.
The suit charged that Smith was
subjected to “intentional, deliberate
and malicious conduct,” and that his
rights were violated under the state
and federal constitutions.
