The Strategic Arms Reduc tion Talks (START) were re suming later in the day (10:30 a.m. EDT) after a 10 week recess so both sides could reassess their bargaining positions. Chief U.S. negotiator Ed ward Rowny, on his arrival from Washington Wednesday, con firmed that President Reagan had modified the basic U.S. proposal. “Our START proposal is being modified,” Rowny said, to “incorporate fundamentals” of the Scowcroft Commission re port on strategic nuclear weapons. Rowny said he was “a little more optimistic” that the mod ified U.S. proposal would break the Soviet-U.S. deadlock at the talks. “Hope springs eternal,” the retired general said. “I am a cockeyed optimist.” President Reagan was ex pected to make a statement in Washington Wednesday on the U.S. proposal, but Rowny said the proposal did not represent any softening of Washington’s position. “I don’t characterize it as any softening,” he said. “It has been modified.” The Scowcroft Commission recommended emphasizing warhead numbers rather than long-range missiles seeking a ba lance between U.S. and Soviet strategic weapons. Rowny said the United States wants an agreement that pro vides “substantial reductions (and) enhances deterrence” and that “results in equality.” It also “must be verifiable,” he said. “We are prepared to be flexible and innovative,” he said in a pre pared arrival statement.

These deaths occur in epileptics in non-epileptics, snorters, smokers and injec tors.” Cocaine users, he said, can also die as a result of: •An acute heart attack, abnor mal heart rhythm or stroke. •Drowning or suffocation. He said a chronic lack of sleep and anesthetizing of the back of the throat may interact to cause a deep sleep, accompanied by a flaccid jaw-induced obstruction of the airway (suffocation) or fa ilure to move the body’s own secretions in the airway. “Typically, people who see a friend die report that the victim took the drug orally or snorted it and was symptom free for 30-to- 60 minutes,” Gold said. “They had no apparent prob lem, and then without warning, they had grand mal seizures and convulsions, followed very rapidly (within a minute or so) by respiratory collapse and death,” he said. Gold said death can and does occur in young people who drink and use cocaine. An indi vidual may snort cocaine and drink whiskey, he said. The cocaine keeps the person awake enough to keep drinking and try to drive home. “The cocaine wears off before the alcohol, and since he has a very high blood level of alcohol, he will pass out and have a car accident. “Usually in a traffic situation, only the blood alcohol is analy zed. But our patients who sur vive regularly report these stor ies. A very high blood alcohol is frequently a consequence of an all night use of cocaine in a re creational setting to prolong the evening,” Gold said. There also are cocaine related suicides. “The cocaine dependent indi viduals commit suicide when they feel hopeless and helpless,” Gold said. “Suicide may be seen as the only solution to deteriorating health, personal, domestic, financial and work situations from the cocaine use which the users believe they cannot stop,” he said. Gold also said chronic cocaine users become impotent. Nutri tion deteriorates and multiple vitamin and essential nutrition deficiencies also occur. Gold said cocaine affects vision, too. Gold, 1982 winner of the American Psychiatric Associa tion Foundation’s Fund Prize for his research in opiate with drawal, is director of research at j Fair Oaks Hospital, in Summit, t N.J. The private psychiatric hos pital recently launched a nation al toll-free cocaine hotline (800- c-o-c-a-i-n-e) to refer cocaine addicts to help.

Bynum said a computer print-out given to lawmakers in the closing days of the legislative session had failed to take into account previous teacher salary increases and, therefore, erroneously listed the expected losses at $110 million for the biennium. “We are pleased that, if we made an error, we made it that way,” Bynum said at a Capitol news conference. “But it doesn’t mean there still aren’t prob lems.” The reduced minimum aid money was the result of the Leg islature’s failure to consider a proposal to alter the minimum aid formula, which guarantees that state funding for school dis tricts does not fall below per- pupil aid plus pay raises in the 1980-1981 school year.
