THE CANADIAN CLUB:Welcome party for all Canadians at Income, spending up United Press International WASHINGTON — The per sonal income of Americans rose 1.1 percent in August and spend ing— mostly on new automobiles — increased even more, the Com merce Department reported Thursday. The new figures showed spend ing continues to provide the eco nomy with a source of strength and that pricing deals are motivat ing potential car buyers despite high interest rates. Personal income was up $26.9 billion in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2,445.8 billion — $2.4 trillion. As expected, the August in crease was not as high as the re vised 1.5 percent boost recorded in July, a month that usually is the year’s peak because of annual cost- of-living increases in Social Secur ity benefits. The rate equalled January’s 1.1 percent increase, the previous high for the year. The department reported per sonal spending for the month rose 1.4 percent — most of it attributed to rebate inspired purchases of new automobiles. The durable goods category, which includes automobiles, climbed 8.5 percent in August, but at the expense of everything else. The increase in all non durable goods purchases was only 0.13 percent. in Cal let ofcoltl used uch a larities h the Unildl by theta in thepitiifl :es that ait- herapy using mice cells uts cancer in remission C9* produced ii in the stall istitute stitutenea , he said, consisted! syntt althy mil !, who la vasecto® ostponetk , and tleii contracep ndoms ic test. - I United Press International |\N FRANCISCO — An I rly engineer, given five years |ve by doctors who found lym- ic cancer, says experimental r, i | apy using mice cells has put , e disease in total remission and els great.

But until the Stanford experiment involving Karr and five other pa tients, it was presumed only hu man monoclonal antibodies could be useful in therapy, and those have not been developed because of the difficulty of handling human cells. Doctors did not discuss the other cases, other than to say their progress was encouraging. Karr’s treatment of three or four infusions of antibodies took only a month, and side effects were li mited to a “slight fever” during the infusions, he said. Karr had previously undergone chemotherapy, plasma pheresis — an exchange of one’s blood serum for the serum of another person — and experimental inter feron treatment.
