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.

|\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.
My doctors looked at me and
‘It’s incredible,” Phillip L.
, 67, said .
)octors declined comment on
aase until the latest results of
ocperimental therapy are pub-
id in medical journals,
ever, they gave Karr approv-
discuss his treatment and did
lispute his claims,

University Medical Center
>00000 <!' no evi ence” of the cancer
had ravaged his body since it
diagnosed five years ago.
In outpatient since his ex-
nental therapy ended in
, Karr said he now returns to
iford once a month for exami-
ms and has been declared free
iy signs of the disease.
; The new treatment involves
odies created, in part, from
jells of mice. Karr said it re-
d him from a state of
ikened, general malaise” to
fate of health he once knew.
ie therapy, a Stanford Medic-
enter spokesman said, in-
es the creation of antibodies

une system with cells from
ipleens of mice. The combina-
Icreates a cell that produces an
p)dy that was injected into

ptibodies created this way are

of such antibodies was achieved in
1975 by two scientists in England.
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.
