HOUSTON — Former Congress-
woman Barbara Jordan said Tuesday
she had not discussed and would not
accept any offer of a vice presidential
nomination this year.
Jordan not
VP hopeful
There have been reports she
might be considered as a running
mate for Republican John Ander
son’s expected independent pres
idential campaign. Jordan is a Demo
crat.
“I have no interest in being any
body’s running mate,” Miss Jordan
said after a convention speech. “I am
very pleased with my work as a (gov
ernment) professor at the (Universi
ty of Texas). I intend to continue with
that.”

Miss Jordan, who has an ailment
that forces her to walk with a cane,
has denied speculation she retired
from Congress in 1979 because of a
major health problem. She said
health is no problem.
“My health is fine,” she said. “I
just don’t have any interest in getting
into a political campaign right now—
none.”
Miss Jordan said Anderson “is a
fine man. I like him a lot personally.”
But she emphasized she is a “Demo
cratic Party regular” and was “very
lukewarm” about prospects for any
independent candidate.
She said she has not decided
whom to support for president.
“I have not settled upon anyone,”
Miss Jordan said. “There has to be
someone. I doubt if anybody else is
gonna turn up. I’m gonna vote. I’m
not gonna stay at home.
Hope for endangered species I
United Press International
ESCONDIDO, Calif. — An
embryo transplant experiment
has raised hopes that test-tube
animal babies could some day be
produced to ensure the survival
of endangered species.
Officials at the San Diego Zoo
said Monday they had succeeded
in transplanting an embryo from
one female to another, resulting
in the birth of a 6-pound Barbados
sheep from a fertilized embryo
extracted surgically from a ewe.
The purpose of the experiment
is to mass produce endangered
animals using surrogate mothers
of a similar species, according to
Dr. James Oosterhuis, associate
veterinarian at the San Diego
Wild Animal Park.
Another part of the experi
ment, in which the scientists
tried to get a female of one species
to give birth to a baby of another
species, failed.
But Dr. Oosterhuis said the
part of the experiment that suc
ceeded could be a significant step
toward saving endangered spe-
same-species transfer, proves our
operating technique can be suc
cessful with wild animals, and
that is a big step even though the
cross-species transfers didn’t take
the first time.”
ediire will be modified and tried
Last Nov. 21, fertilized
embryos from a Barbados ewe
and a Cretan goat, consisting of
only eight cells, were removed
and surgically implanted in the
womb of another Barbados sheep
female.
“The Barbados sheep birth, a'

If the project is successful, i|
could be expanded to includt
more species, Oosterhuis
For example, the embryo ofai
endangered snow leopard could
be implanted into the woinbofi
non-endangered lioness, result
ing in the birth of a snow leopard.
Eventually the embryos could
be frozen and shipped to zoos
around the world to be implanted
into surrogate mothers wlio
would give birth to future genera
tions of endangered animals,

Officials
fight strike
at prison
United Press International
SANTA FE, N.M. —Corrections
officials Tuesday said they had iso
lated the “ringleaders” in hopes of
stopping a hunger and work strike by
about 350 inmates at the prison
where 33 prisoners were killed in an
inmate rebellion in February.
Herb Hardin, administrative
assistant to corrections secretary
Adolph Saenz, said New Mexico
State Penitentiary officials transfer
red seven inmates identified as ring
leaders to “strip” cells where they
are denied television or radio sets.
He said the isolation of the alleged
ringleaders was accomplished “with
out the use of force.”
He said prison officials were trying
to determine if more inmates identi
fied as instigators of the strike
needed to be isolated to alleviate
peer pressure on other prisoners to
take part in the protest, which en
tered its second day Tuesday.
The inmates are apparently un
happy over wages paid in prison in
dustries programs and over the lack
of a conjugal visiting program for
married inmates, although prison
officials have not issued a definitive
statement regarding the specific
cause.
The protest is the latest in a series
of incidents since the brutal inmate
uprising at the institution Feb. 2-3.
Thirty-three prisoneers were killed
in the rioting and a number of in
mates and guards were injured. Phy
sical damage done to the prison re
duced its capacity from the pre-riot
level of 1,156 inmates to the 500 pris
oners now housed there.
Last week, guards had tb use teaf
gas on some inmates who set fire to
debris in a cell block.
Hardin said teams composed of
correctional officers, prison psycho
logists, and persons involved in edu
cational programs were “trying to
determine if there are any genuine
grievances and to see if the inmates
want to go back to work.
“The prison is quiet and under the
control of the staff” he said.
Inmates were warned late Mon
day they faced major misconduct re
ports if they continued to refuse to
work Tuesday. Warden Jerry Griffin
said the reports could delay parole
hearings for some inmates and cause
others to lose “good time” normally
credited against their sentences.
Hardin said, however, that prison
officials decided no misconduct re
ports would be issued until all of the
inmates involved have been inter
viewed and given an opportunity to
go back to work.
The inmate boycott began Mon
day morning when about 300 in
mates refused to leave their cells to
eat breakfast or report for work.
Another 50 prisoners joined in the
movement when the noon meal was
served.
Griffin said even though the in
mates had missed several meals,
many had stocked up on packaged
food items like candy and soft drinks
from the prison canteen, apparently
in anticipation of the boycott.
Screwworm
case found
in Texas
United Press International
MISSION — After 205 days with
out any cases of the destructive
screwworm, the Texas livestock in
dustry has suffered a confirmed case
of the parasite.
The U.S. Department of Agricul
ture’s screwworm laboratory reports
it confirmed last week a positive
screwworm sample taken from a
lamb in Coleman County. It was the
first positive case found in the Un
ited States this year.
The nearest known screwworm
case to the Central Texas area pre
viously had been in the Villa Union
community in the Mexican State of
Coahuila, 40 miles south of Eagle
Pass, Texas, about two months ago,
according to Dr. James E. Novy,
director of the screwworm labora
tory.
Officials said they would distri
bute a suppression pellets and sterile
screwworm flies in Coleman County
in an effort to eradicate any screw-
worms there.
New Mexico had 199 screwworm
free days, Arizona 146 and California
228 by April 1.
