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.

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

Nervous?
-'V
By Dr. Stephenson
Are you irritable, jittery, cry easily, find it hard to
make decisions, depressed? 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. If the
cause of the condition is not corrected it may al
ways progress and become worse.
