lartcn ™®RA has ;ible OK bari ■-* United Press International ELK CITY, Okla — In his most •plicit statement of faith as chief Icecutive, President Carter said ihrist provided the Biblical basis for supporting the Equal Rights Amendment. ■ Religious opposition to ERA often is based on the Apostle Paul’s teach- r )' | in' that women should be submiss- of ' COll rt live to their husbands. Oklahoma has a tlleit Hot ratified the ERA, and a citizen at a town meeting asked Carter about m f ent ® 1 the issue. q think if one reads different irts of the Bible, you can find a , 0 d argument either way,” Carter iid. “I know that Paul felt very trongly that there ought to be a liarp distinction between men and romen and women’s role ought to »minimal. - “But I have a feeling that Christ leant for all of us to be treated Tonally, and he demonstrated this in many ways.” Carter drew heavier applause for sd ty ist puy lifeisi j, js re ply than did the questioner, who asked the president on what THE BATTALION TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979 Page i Anti-cancer serum developed from mice United Press International DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — An eight-year research effort has turned up experimental evidence adding support to theories that animals have a natural protection against cancer, a New York scientist re ported Sunday. Dr. Saul Green of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center said his work points toward a biochemi cal surveillance process that may enable normal animals to fight off cancer repeatedly. Green told an American Cancer Society seminar that he and his col leagues have isolated a protein complex from mouse serum that has an anti-cancer effect. During the past year, they have detected simi lar compounds in human blood serum. Current research is aimed at de termining if this human blood sub stance is effective, as preliminary studies suggest, against human cancer cells in the laboratory. Green noted that three out of four people do not develop cancer. “I’m hoping this material may be the factor that regulates those who do not get it,” he said. If the human factor does have an anti-tumor effect. Green said, the door would be open for three pos sibilities: —Cancer treatment. If current experiments support preliminary indications that the human factor may inhibit the growth of certain kinds of cancer cells, large-scale tests in humans would be justified to see if the material is useful as an anti-cancer agent. —Cancer prevention. There is evidence the anti-tumor factor in mice is made in the liver. If the human factor also is produced in the liver, ways might be found to stimu late its production so more of the material would be available in the body to ward off any cancer inva sion. —Cancer detection. If the human factor can be isolated and purified, a test might be devised to check blood samples -to detect individuals defi cient in the factor and therefore at high risk of developing cancer. Green calls the substance in mice “Tumor Necrosis Factor.” Necrosis means the death and degeneration of tissue — in this case, cancer cells.

The questioner, Jim Fowler, also iked Carter to state “with your own jouth” that he was a believer in Ihrist and tell how much time he ent in prayer and study. Carter responded: “I am a be- ever in Jesus Christ and a born- gain Christian. I do worship regu- jrly. I spend a lot of time in prayer. <■ Every evening, my wife and I have religious services together, one of Hhe last things we do each day.
