Instead of a moratorium — which might have doomed the ailing nu clear industry — the report recom mended that approval of disaster re sponse plans be made a require ment for construction or licensing of any new atomic reactor. But the commission, which held long and often bitter hearings on the March 28 accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant near Harris burg, Pa., recommended sweeping changes in the organization of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and extensive reforms in the nuclear industry. The president received his copy of the final report at a brief White House ceremony, but it was not immediately made public. One of the key regulatory reforms was a recommendation for periodic relicensing of atomic plants on the basis of hearings, inspections and performance criteria, a commis sioner said. The commission also called for the reorganization of the five- member, quasi-judicial NRC panel into an executive agency with one boss. It made a series of recom mendations for enhanced training for reactor operators in keeping with a commission finding that “NRC standards allowed a shallow level of operator training.” Another recommendation, acknowledging that reactor acci dents are likely to happen despite the tightest safety precautions, called for regional storage of radia tion drugs like potassium iodide to make them accessible to citizens contaminated by fallout. Congressional oversight panels have deferred crucial decisions on the future of peacetime atomic power until the commission’s report is evaluated. The report also has stirred intense interest in Japan and Europe, where nuclear power is seen as a vital alternative to im ported oil and coal. Critics said the commission’s re fusal to call for a reactor construc tion freeze was a victory for the nu- Angry cancer victims live longer than those who appear happier United Press International WASHINGTON — A Johns Hopkins University study of women dying of cancer suggests that people who are outwardly angry and anx ious about their illness live longer than those who seem more content and happier. The study of 35 women with ad vanced breast cancer supports ear lier reports indicating that the way a person deals with the disease psychologically might affect survival time. The research team, led by Dr. Leonard R. Derogatis of the univer sity’s department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, said it has been suggested that emotional factors in fluence the course of advanced cancer by somehow affecting the body’s immunity or hormonal sys tems. “If a relationship between these psychosocial factors and im munologic or neuroendocrine fac tors can be defined in cancer pa tients, then we will have taken an important step,” said the study re port, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. t3rtidies Lunch Menu QUICHES 1/6 of a 9” quiche served with small green salad Quiche Lorraine — bacon and onion filling Ham and Swiss Cheese Shrimp Quiche CREPES Two 8” crapes with small green salad Creamed spinach with eggs Chicke n-Mushroom Creamed Mushrooms Shrimp in Cream/Wine sauce SPECIALITIES German Bratwurst with Potato Salad and mustard, crisp roll & butter and a whole lot more Not only will more be learned about the interaction between the mind and body, but further research in this area might be able to make an important contribution to the treatment of people with cancer, the report said. Psychological aid currently de signed to provide support and com fort for the cancer patient could be redesigned, the report said, to “place the patient in better contact with his or her emotions.” The 35 women with advanced breast cancer in the Johns Hopkins study were evaluated psychologi cally at the start of a chemotherapy treatment program. The women were interviewed by a trained coun selor and the treating doctor, and also completed personal psychologi cal evaluations of themselves. Based on the records of similar cases of breast cancer that had spread to other parts of the body, the researchers classified patients who died less than one year after start of the drug treatment as short term survivors, and those who lived longer as long-term survivors. “Long-term survivors showed significantly higher levels of anxiety, hostility and psychosis than short term survivors,” the report said. Patients who were classified as short-term survivors had a particu lar lack of hostile symptoms, and generally higher levels of positive mood states such as joy, content ment and affection. In addition, the physicians’ ratings indicated that they per ceived the long-term survivors as less well-adjusted to their illnesses with significantly more negative at titudes than those who survived for shorter periods.

Boycott violation will cost Houston firm $65,500 fine clear industry, but would weaken the impact of the panel’s findings and conclusions. A final draft of the “major findings and conclusions included harsh criticism of the NRC and Metropoli tan Edison, the utility that operated the stricken Three Mile Island reac tor. But a critic said that without a construction moratorium, “the pro-nukes will simply say the criti cisms can’t be extrapolated to other aspects of the industry. “It undermines the seriousness of the commission’s findings,” he said. Hopes for a construction freeze were dashed last week when panel chairman John Kemeny, president of Dartmouth College, abstained from a close vote on one of three separate moratorium plans. Kemeny had previously voted with the faction favoring some form of moratorium to underscore the need for a break with past compla cency about nuclear safety. The closest thing to the freeze sought by nuclear foes was the rec ommendation linking reactor con struction and licensing to approval of state and local emergency plans, a commission source said. United Press International WASHINGTON — The Com merce Department Tuesday slap ped a $65,500 fine on a Houston firm for violating government anti boycott rules involving sales to Middle East countries. The department alleged that Cameron Iron Works Inc. of Hous ton had “repeatedly” furnished in formation from its offices in Houston and Leeds, England, to customers in Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Oman, Qatar, Iraq and Libya, which cer tified that Cameron’s products were not of Israeli origin. The U.S. anti-boycott law pro hibits U.S. firms from furnishing in formation about business relation ships with countries boycotted by Arab nations, such as Israel. Hamburgers 1800 S.
