Battalion Classified 845-2611 Weekend sailor wants privateering license United Press International KEY WEST, Fla. — Randy Ludacer, a bearded weekend sailor with a few hard-eyed men behind him, wants to resurrect the days of Jean Laffite to aid in the war on drug smugglers. Ludacer, an attorney, has peti tioned Congress to grant him the first “Letter of Marque and Re prisal,” a commission given to a private ship by a government to make reprisals on ships of other states. If issued, it will be the first since the War of 1812. Thus he and his men, commis sioned privateers, would patrol the Caribbean — where centuries ago the Jolly Roger flew at the maintops of Blackboard's or Mor gan’s corsairs — in search of drug laden smugglers’ sailing vessels. He says such a force would be more effective than overburdened Coast Guard and Drug Enforce ment Agency patrols. “We could do it more efficiently for less money,” he said Monday. “Don’t you think the war on drugs would he more efficient if it were motivated by profits rather than pensions? “Sometimes the obvious solu tions are overlooked because they haven’t been used for a long time. It (privateering) seemed to be a viable alternative when the Con stitution was written.” The Korean War veteran and handgun hobbyist said he doesn’t envision himself at the helm of a pirate ship. “I don’t propose to be running around with a .45 and a cutlass,” he said. “But I could put the com ponents together.” He proposes to operate patn boats equipped with electa® devices. He said he would ofe informers “a few more than the government pays au have them plant tiny transpom in bales of marijuana to enable privateers to pick out admg boat from a fleet of other fisl craft. t Ludacer, 51, indicated he has the nucleus of his privateer force — a buddy who participated in the 1960’s Congo liberation move ment, a few French Foreign Le gion veterans, a former Green Be ret and other “cloak-and dagger types, intelligence experts — peo ple who rather enjoy risk-taking. ” Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power "to declare war, grant let ters of marque and reprisal and make rules concerning captures on land and water.” Among the last privateers com missioned by Congress was Laf fite, who plundered British mer chant vessels during the War of 1812. Ludacer hasn’t yet heard from Congress, he said. “There are three choke pointl in the Caribbean that could bee off rather easily,” he said. are the Yucatan Straits, the Win ward Passage between Cubans! Haiti and the Mona Passaged tween the Dominican Repii and Puerto Rico. “Those could be patroli rather efficiently at small cost"! Ludacer said a large probbi with his scheme, which wouldiei quire more action from Cow than the grantingofaletterofnii’ que: The booty his private# would seize would not be a doubloons. He couldn’t legii sell his treasure without beconi a drug smuggler himself, | He’s convinced, however, K government can be persuadl that rewarding a privateer for setl ing drugs would be money i-l spent. ^ : ; * X : Major breakthrough with gene transfers United Press International ATHENS, Ohio — Ohio Uni versity researchers Tuesday announced the successful transfer of genes from rabbits to mice to their offspring. This was a history making first that may soon result in better livestock and someday help man. The five-member research team had transferred genes from rabbits to mice, which were in turn passed to two generations of mice. Dr. Thomas E. Wagner, a molecular geneticist, said. The technique, he said, could be used either to transfer a desired trait within the same animal spe cies or to transfer a gene from a different species to create genetic ally unique animals. The research could have major implications for the agriculture animal industry in the next de cade, Wagner said. “Application of this technique to animal breed ing could dramatically shorten the time necessary to selectively breed species of animals with im proved food-producing character istics,” he said. Genetic Engineering Inc. of Denver already holds a license agreement with the university for commercial use of the patent on such research. The Washington Post Tuesday reported the university and Gene tic Engineering are already work ing to produce what Wagner calls “three-parent cattle. ” These would be cattle with genes from an otherwise unrelated bull or cow to confer some valued quality, such as faster growth or better milk pro duction. The new method may someday help humans by allowing the transfer of genes to prevent a dis ease or correct a genetic defect, Wagner said. During their research, scien tists said they “micro-injected” 20,000 copies of a rabbit-blood protein gene into the male pro nuclei of one-celled, fertilized VAI latest ompl eturn ind tl eclar erupti mouse eggs. (Pronuclei are sperm cells that have swollen in preparation« combining with female genti material in eggs they had recent fertilized.) Rabbit genes were also inject! into the 312 mice embryosin way, and the mice embryos m cultured in test tubes in the atory. Of those, 211 survived were transferred to female the scientists said. These mothers produced offspring, including five mice contained the rabbit hemogok. protein in their red blood cells These offspring were also malt J '° nc ' ; and their offspring contained rabbit protein, suggesting the ficially introduced rabbit gene been inherited by the mice, searchers said. The findings of the res funded by Ohio University, be published in the October of the Proceedings of the Nal Academy of Science. We Gets What Ya Likes In The Way Of Bikes!

Sometimes wish you could get away from it all? Many times, interfer ence to the nervous system disturbs it’s function and we suffer from the above symptoms. Chiropractic reduces nerve pressure if caught in time. It allows the nerves to be restored towards normalcy and you can enjoy life again.
