Vasectomies, heart
disease ‘not linked’
United Press International
BOSTON — A two-part Brit
ish study released Thursday re
futed a claim made by previous
researchers that vasectomies in
crease the risk of heart disease in
men.
Doctors at the University of
Oxford, England, studied 6,300
medical records and found men
who had undergone a vasec
tomy had no greater incidence
of heart disease than men who
had not been sterilized.
“There was no evidence of an
increased risk of cardiovascular
disease,” the doctors wrote in
the New England Journal of
Medicine.
One part of the study looked
at 1,764 Scottish men who had
the operation in which the tube
that leads from the testes is se
vered. It found that G’/z years
after the operation the men had
no more heart disease than men
who had undergone other types
of minor surgery.
A Yale University Medical
School researcher who worked
with the doctors said the study
laid to rest fears raised by a 1978
Science magazine article that re
ported monkeys with vasecto
mies had a greater risk of heart
disease.

Rock ban outrages fans
El
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Rock n’
roll fans, a top White House aide
among them, are outraged at In
terior Secretary James Watt’s
banning of rock music by groups
like the Beach Boys from
Washington’s annual July 4 fes
tivities.
Watt took the action, he said,
to strike a blow for “wholesome
ness” at the annual festivities
that attract hundreds of
thousands to Washington’s Mall.
Las Vegas entertainer Wayne
Newton instead will headline
this year's revelry.
Although Watt did not men
tion the Beach Boys by name, his
action provoked objections from
the group that got its start in the
1960s singing about surfing,
California and “Good Vibra
tions.”
At a news conference in New
Brunswick, Canada, where the
Beach Boys were performing
Wednesday night, group mem
ber Mike Love said he was “a
little bit tired of being branded
as part of a rock group which is
supposed to be associated with
drugs and alcohol — it is totally
false.”
“The secretary and the Beach
Boys agree on one thing, and
that is wholsomeness should be a
part of the July Fourth prog
ram,” Love said in an interview
on the ABC news show “Night-
line.”
Two disappointed fans were
n
Vice President George Bush and
Deputy White House Chief of
Staff Michael Deaver.
“It’s an unfortunate action
since my wife and kids and the
entire neighborhood went to see
them last year and had a won
derful time,” said Deaver. “I
think for a lot of people the
Beach Boys are an American in
stitution. Anyone who thinks
they are hard rock would think
Mantovani plays jazz.”
Newton, who will donate his
services like the rock groups be
fore him, is a friend and political
supporter of Reagan. The
Beach Boys did a fundraising
concert for Bush when he was
running against Reagan in the
1980 COP primaries.
“The vice president is a friend
of the Beach Boys, and he likes
them very much. They have
been good friends to him,” said
Bush spokeswoman Shirley
Green. ,
A White House spokesman
said there was no move to coun- -
TP
let)
termand Watt’s action. I feco
said he was stating his peno I
view only and Green denied; r^'
disagreement between
and Watt.
Watt complained to
Washington Post about
drug use, high alcolioi
broken bottles, some injt
people and some fights"
concerts during the lastseis
years. “The reason, wen
eluded, was the rock la
attracting the wrong etae
and you couldn’t bring ii
family, your children, dow
the Mall,” he said.
The Beach Boys’
lions representative issud
statement saying, "The Bo
Boys find it unbelievablei
Watt feels they attract
wrong element’ to their ti
certs.”
