They dis- i agreed with other authorities over what might have caused Queen to develop the affliction. In Washington, Secretary of State Edmund Muskie said Queen, 28, will return with his family to the United States Friday and recuperate “in the best place in the world — the state of Maine. Queen’s parents live in Maine. The diplomat’s father, Harold Queen, said, “Richard took it very calmly’’ when he was informed he had the disease, known as the “crippler of young adults.” Dr. Jerome Korcak, a State Department physician who examined Queen in Zurich and traveled with him to the U.S. Army hospital in Wiesbaden Saturday, said American tests confirmed the Iranian diagnosis of MS. Korcak said the cause of the disease was not known, but added “stress is an important factor. ” However, authorities at the National Multiple Scler osis Society in New York said there was no medical proof to substantiate the theory stress is a factor in the disease. MS frequently attacks young adults. It may disappear completely but more often it strikes, goes into remis sion, then reappears. It may lead to permanent para lysis. Korcak said Queen, vice consul at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, developed symptoms of the disease — nausea, vomiting, dizziness and “abnormal sensations in the upper extremities” — last December, the first month of his 250 days captivity in Iran. The disease affected Queen’s coordination and Ira nian doctors feared he had suffered a brain lesion, Kor cak said. This prompted them to urge Ayatollah Ruhol- lah Khomeini to order Queen’s release last Friday. Korcak indicated, however, Queen suffered no per manent brain damage and said “He will be returning to the United States in the next few days.” The elder Queen said his son was in “a very good mood” Tuesday, “eating like mad” and insisting on get ting out of his wheelchair. He said Queen’s private room at the 235-bed former Luftwaffe hospital was “stacked with flowers and tele grams” from well-wishers all over the world. Atheist calls to nullify judicial oath United Press International NEW ORLEANS — Atheist ladalyn Murray O’Hair asked a fed- ral appeals court Wednesday to nul- ify a portion of the Texas Constitu tion requiring judges and other pub- 1 hese are times in flic officials to declare belief in a sup- tspond as responsi- rem e being. O’Hair, an attorney who in 1963 ucceeded in having prayer banned rom public school classrooms by rderofthe Supreme Court, said the provision requiring belief in a sup reme being barred atheists from |serving as state judges. She also said it was an infringement on her ability to argue cases as a lawyer. “I am unable to practice in the $Texas courts because I do not be- \ ns 'j .i .,f lieve in God,” O’Hair said. “The >im c h cas w en | L^jg t hj n g h as i e ft me j n a case G f T P l^ M T extraordinary limbo." nd about being the; A panel of the 5th [IJ.S.
