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.

SAN DIEGO — A second
Marine guard aboard the USS
Ranger has been sentenced to 30
days hard labor for striking an im
prisoned sailor, shattering his ear
drum.
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. B er yoi
The investigation was pi
ted by the death of Trerice, 2lj

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

Tom Gannon, spokesma noinjuri
