Hot tubs may cause infertility United Press International WEST HAVEN, Conn. — A physician says men who use hot tubs may suffer lowered sperm count leading to temporary in fertility. Dr. Kenneth Cohen, associ ate chief of staff at West Haven Veterans Hospital, cautioned his theory was speculation based on only one case — a man in his 30s who complained of infei tility. He said the man used a hoi tub up to four times a weekfe about 20 minutes. Thetempm ture in a hot tub reaches I05u 108 degrees. Four months after the patiet; stopped using the hot tub, sperm count increased to40ml. lion sperm per cubic centiraetti Cohen said. .0 sk ^ ☆☆☆’☆'ft BE A PEER ADVISOR Orbit abnormal but stable Shuttle satellite launched United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A $100 million tracking satellite launched by the space shuttle 1 Challenger tumbled out of con trol Tuesday but later was stabil ized in an abnormal orbit, rais- i ing hopes the critical communi cations project can be salvaged. The satellite, the largest and most powerful communications satellite ever launched, was circ ling Earth in an egg-shaped orbit ranging from 13,800 to 21,850 miles high. The low point was more than 8,000 miles lower than planned. Robert Aller, NASA’s track- Supreme court: Klan law fair United Press International WASH INGTON — A college football player can use a 112- year-old Ku Klux Klan law to sue his coach for allegedly hit ting him in the mouth and later telling the team not to talk about it, the Supreme Court says. ! In a 9-0 ruling Monday, the justices cleared the way for Kevin Rutledge to sue former Arizona State University Coach Frank Kush for allegedly intimi dating witnesses who saw the coach punch him during an October 1978 game. Kush now coaches the Balti- | more Colts in the National Foot ball League. 1 The justices ruled the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, which was written to guard against threats in cases involving newly emancipated slaves, is not li mited to racially motivated in terference with the federal courts. Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for the unanimous court, said there is nothing to the law to prevent Rutledge, a white male, from using the law even though there was no racial hostility behind the witness in terference. Lower courts had been split on the issue. An Arizona state court jury already has rejected Rutledge’s claims for more than $1.1 mil lion in damages from Kush and three other university officials for assault, defamation, negli gence and loss of a football scho larship. The Supreme Court’s action keeps Rutledge’s claims alive in federal court, at least on the issue of whether Kush, Assistant Coach Gary Horton and former Athletic Director Fred Miller tried to keep other players from testifying about confrontrations with Rutledge. Kush could not be reached for comment Monday. Rutledge’s lawyers claim Kush called a team meeting to announce he never hit Rutledge and the coaches pressured some team members to sign cards saying they had not seen Kush strike Rutledge. Rutledge, who now lives in Johns Island, S.C., claims the coach lifted his face mask and punched him in the mouth after he made a poor punt in a game between Arizona State and the University of Washington. He says he also was subjected to other ridicule and abuse, eventually causing him to give up his football scholarship at Arizona State in 1979 and trans fer to the University of Nevada at Las Vegas without a scholar ship. He sued after the state Board of Regents rejected his claim over lost scholarship money. Poisoned kids get settlement United Press International SANDPOINT, Idaho —Nine years of litigation have con cluded with a settlement of more than $23 million for 37 youths who suffered extensive lead poisoning from emissions at the Bunker Hill Co.’s smelter at Kel- lo gg- Lawyers representing the children, Bunker Hill and Gulf Resources Inc. of Houston, re ceived approval Monday for the settlement from First District Judge Dar Cogswell, who said the award may be the largest in Idaho history. The suit was Filed in 1974 on behalf of the children, many of whom still live in the area where they suffered extensive learning disabilities from the smelter. The children’s lawyers said the poisoning was discovered during 1974 and that the com panies’ executives were aware of { jossible health problems as ear- y as 1972. The plaintiffs’ attorneys said the smelter emitted more than 200,000 pounds of lead each month during portions of 1974 when executives were trying to maximize production. A mal functioning Filtration system was the source of much of the pollution, the lawyers said. The settlement includes a tot al of $307,000 for medical and special education payments to the youths until they turn 18. Some of the more seriously injured children will receive additional cash payments at Five- year intervals for 30 years for a total of up to $595,000 apiece. The settlement also includes $915,000 for court costs and attorneys’ fees. DELIVERS! For a Hot beaming Pizza — or anything on our Menu.
