but they admitted they could
only check the spread of the
malady.
“They told me they can’t cure
me,” Richard Mallard, 45, of
Jesup, Ga., said after conferring
with specialists at the Helmholtz
Clinic.
Mallard was told to report
Thursday for the first of two
weeks of daily injections of a
fungus compound into his eyes
and hips. The controversial
treatment has been dismissed by
American doctors as worthless.
Mallard suffers from retinitis
pigmentosa, a progressive
disease that narrows the field
of vision until a victim becomes
totally blind. The degenerative
process began in 1965.
“They told me my eyes are
pretty bad, but they said they
could check its progress,” he
said. “It’s better than the Amer
ican doctors could offer me.”
Mallard followed the path of a
fellow Georgian, 12-year-old
Todd Cantrell of Dalton, who
reported his eyesight improved
after the injections of fungus
into eyes and hip.

SAN SALVADOR, El Salva
dor— Rebels fighting the U.S.-
supported ruling junta warned
of stepped-up attacks, but a
1,500-man army offensive
against the guerrillas entered its
third day Wednesday in the pro
vince of Morazan.
At the site of two guerrilla
assaults this week, searchers
Tuesday found the corpses of 24
men and woman, including that
of a male rebel, which showed
signs of torture.
The clandestine guerrilla
Radio Venceremos issued a call
“to the citizens of all the nation
to maintain the alert, to con
tinue the preparations for f u
ture battles at an accelerated
rhythm.”
The guerrilla broadcast
Tuesday stopped short of call
ing the stepped-up activity a
“final” or all-out offensive, but
the attacks apparently are in
tended to disrupt March 28 con
stituent assembly elections.
Washington hopes the vote
will move the strife-torn Central
American nation of 4.8 million
toward democracy and cripple
support for guerrillas.
A 1,500-man army offensive
against guerrilla positions in the
northeastern province of Mora
zan entered its third day today
but little information was avail
able because of poor communi
cations to the area.
Opponents of El Salvador’s
civilian-military regime, strong
ly supported by the Reagan
administration, have held most
of Morazan province for Si
months.
