Page 10 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1981 National Enzyme reduces damage caused by heart attacks United Press International BOSTON — An experimental enzyme can dramatically reduce permanent heart damage caused by heart attacks — but, resear chers don’t know if it will help victims live longer. The enzyme, called streptoki nase, opened blocked arteries and restored blood flow to heart tis sues to prevent damage when administered within a few hours of the seizure, researchers said in a recent study. The treatment, which requires special equipment, represents “an exciting new approach” to caring for heart attack patients, the re searchers said. In seven of nine patients given the enzyme, blood clots were dis solved, researchers said. Further tests already under way are needed to determine whether patients given the en zyme live longer than heart attack sufferers treated by conventional means, said Dr. John E. Markis, who headed the study. Currently, patients are given painkillers and drugs to re establish heart rhythm and limit the size of the heart attack if a clot fails to dissolve by itself. “It’s not enough to show just that you can open an artery,” he said. “You have to ask, does this make a diflerence in the patient’s survival, in his quality of life be fore every little hospital in the country starts setting up a catheter lab and doing this.” Further tests are also needed to determine if the enzyme can be given to people who show early symptoms of a heart seizure to “prevent a heart attack altogether,” he said.

It was the second conviction in the widening probe of abuses, in cluding the death of one sailor, in the aircraft carrier’s brig. Twenty- eight crewmen have been charged since last April’s death of Seaman Recruit Paul Trerice. Lance Cpl. Santiago Garcia, 20, of Holt, Mich., was convicted Wednesday on three of four charges of assault, maltreatment and orders violations, all stem ming from the attack on Seaman Neil Hodgson. The military jury of three en listed men deliberated for 40 mi nutes before finding Garcia guilty of striking Hodgson on the side of the head with his open hand, shat tering the prisoner’s ear drum. Garcia was sentenced to 30 days hard labor without confinement and will receive a letter of repri mand. He was found innocent of another maltreatment charge in volving Seaman Dennis Cagle last March. Garcia had been accused of placing a trashcan over Cagle’s head and beating the sides. Another court martial began Wednesday for Marine Cpl. Timothy Fowler, accused of simi lar abuses against inmate-sailors aboard the huge warship. Also under way were pretrial hearings for Capt. Dan A. Pedersen, the ship’s former ex ecutive officer, and Lt. Cmdr. Lee Cargill, the rehabilitation facilities officer. Both are accused of dere liction of duty for allegedly per mitting assaults and maltreatment of the ship’s prisoners. The hearings, described as similar to a civilian grand jury in- i ill tw 0 vestigation and expected to b week, could lead to generalol‘‘i a martials against the men.

I After Police urged to open Lindbergh court file uointr bets, t iflie c United Press International FLEMINGTON, N.J. — The widow of Bruno Hauptmann, ex ecuted for kidnapping and killing the infant son of Charles Lind bergh, won an unexpected ally in her quest to see documents she says exonerate her husband. About four hours after Anna Hauptmann, 83, filed her suit Wednesday in Hunterdon County Superior Court, Gov. Brendan Byrne urged Attorney General James Zazzali to order state police to release the documents. Bruno Hauptmann was electro cuted April 3, 1936, for the kid- nap-murder of Lindbergh’s 20- month-old son, Charles Jr. “The Hauptmann trial is part of American history and there is no need to preserve any security aspect now, more than 40 years after the event,” Byrne said. Hauptmann’s civil suit names Byrne and Zazzali and alleges that state officials “have continuously withheld and concealed facts and the truth (about the investigation) from Anna Hauptmann and the public.” The widow wants to review 90,000 pages of state police docu ments in order to strengthen her claim that her husband was inno cent. State officials had previously maintained the papers were cri minal investigatory files and could not be opened to the public. “If the state is so sure that they killed the right man, ” said Robert eet ei “Itisj itchTe ^iMiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiimiiiimiimiiimiiimmiimiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiiii^ Bryan, Hauptmann’s San Fran attorney, “why are they claii after 48 years that the doesn’t have a right to see documents?” Tom Gannon, spokesma noinjuri Zazzali, explained that a revieiR U p] e c the material was already um way because of two suits filecj men claiming to be the Lincf baby.
