UT testing may aid
hypothermia sufferer
United Press International
DALLAS — Marcia Cates
was in her kitchen when the
seizures first hit in February
1981, with such force that she
drove her fingernails through
the palm of her hand.
A few weeks later more sei
zures crushed her bottom two
vertebrae, decreasing her
height by two inches. It wasn’t
until Cates suffered a two and
a half-hour seizure in October
1981, that doctors discovered
her temperature was fluctuat
ing 20 degrees.
Since then, Cates has suf
fered seizures and body tem
perature surges and drops
that have left National Aero
nautic and Space Administra
tion researchers and doctors
baffled.
Cates, 42, suffers from
what doctors believe is poiki-
lothermia. The condition
causes her body temperature
to fluctuate between 88 and
108 degrees.
She and her family hope to
come to Dallas soon for tests
by doctors at the University of
Texas Health Science Center.
“I’m excited about that —
I’ve been through this long
enough that it’s just one more
hurdle,” Cates said Monday
from her home in Chatham,
Va.
“NASA refers to her as
open loop circuit,” said her
husband, Grady Cates. “An
open loop meaning that her
wires are gone on the heating
and air conditioning both.”
Doctors at the UTHSC said
Cates suffers from the only
known case of long-term ex
treme hypothermia. They be
lieve her condition was caused
by a cranial aneurism that
ruptured while she was
undergoing treatment in
1980 at Duke University.
Doctors have used drugs to
control her seizures, but she
has been confined to her
house because of her body
temperature drops and
surges.
Dr. Bill Williams, a former
NASA scientist now with the
Environmental Protection
Agency in Corvalis, Ore., has
worked with Cates and pro
vided her lifesaving equip
ment.
First he sent several insu
lated space suits which work
ed only for a while. Then Wil
liams helped Cates get a Vita-
log — a device about the size
of two packs of cigarettes that
is connected to her left arm
and monitors her heart rate,
temperature and body activi
ties.
The device sounds a warn
ing when Cates’ temperature
reaches dangerous levels be
cause she is unaware of
changes in her body tempera
ture.
It is data provided by the
Vitalog that UTHSC resear
chers hope to analyze.
At the UTHSC, Dr. James
Lipton will do thermal tests to
measure changes such as
sweating and shivering on
Cates. He hopes the tests will
aid in the management of
Cates’ temperature and pro
vide documented information
on her condition.
Lipton also hopes the tests
will provide documented in
formation valuable to the in
ternational medical commun
ity and NASA researchers.
Tribe asks return of land ) swa ]
b pul
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A group
of New Mexico Indiana and the
Reagan administration Tuesday
urged Congress to allow the re
turn of sacred grounds the In
dians were swindled out of by a
Spaniard 178 years ago.
In testimony before the
House Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee, members of
the 900-member Pueblo de
Cochiti, government officials
and members of the New Mex
ico delegation all joined in
urging the return of the appro
ximately 25,000-acre tract adja
cent to the reservation pear Ber
nalillo, N.M.
“We believe that failure to
return this land would be a
grave injustice to the Pueblo de
Cochiti,” Ken Smith, assistant
secretary for Indian affairs,
said.
“Their claim is unique,” he
said. “It represents the only
known case of an Indian tribe
pressing for land restoration on
the basis of a paper title acquired
by purchase.”
Smith said an 1 Ith-hour com
promise had been worked out
with the Department of Agricul
ture over an easement interest in
the Santa Cruz Spring Tract —
now part of the Santa Fe Nation
al Forest. The administration
decided Monday night to sup
port the bill at Tuesday’s
hearing.
Pueblo Gov. Daniel Chalan,
accompanied by nine members
of the tribe, said the Cochitis
have long considered the land
near their 27,000-acre pueblo
part of their home.
He said the pueblo has placed
nearly $450,000 in escrow to use
to buy out the livestock grazing
leases held by cattlemen on the
tract, which under the bill would
be surveyed to determine its
precise boundaries.
Smith said the tribe purch
ased the land in 1744 “in accord
with the laws of the Spanish
Empire,” but in 1805 Luis Maria
Cabeza de Baca attempted to
buy the area with a fraudulent
deed.
“He came into possession of a
purported deed which was later
declared void by the Spanish
Colonial Court (around 1818)
due to a finding by the court that
de Baca had used fraud and
duress in his acquisition,” said
Smith. “Unfortunately the
document recording the court’s
ruling was lost until 1979.”
Rep. Bill Richardson, D-
N.M., who represents the area,
said the written copy of the
Spanish colonial court’s ruling
was suppressed.
“Without it, they were unable
to prove their ownership to their
subsequent Mexican sovereign
or to the United States when we
acquired the New Mexico terri
tory in 1848,” he said.
He said early this century the
Indians tried to persuade a New
Mexico court that they held title,
but without the Spanish docu-
Courtea
ment, their case failed.

Colorado professor I. United Press Internal

Pre-holiday ruling
promised by judge
United Press International
HOUSTON — A federal
judge has promised to rule be
fore Christmas on a lawsuit filed
last December concerning the
legality of allowing Nativity
scenes to be set up in front of two
Houston courthouses.
During a hearing Monday,
U.S. District Judge George Cire
said he will rule at a later date on
the case filed by the American
Civil Liberties Union against
Harris County challenging the
placement of Christmas scenes
on the lawns of two county
buildings.
The case, which allegedly re
sulted in several death threats
against ACLU staff attorney Ste
fan Presser, hinges on a similar
Pawtucket, R.I., case pending
before the U.S. Supreme Court.
At this time, the city is under a
permanent injunction prevent
ing the sponsorship of Nativity
scenes in public buildings.
Presser said he received near
ly a dozen telephoned death
threats and one anonymous
letter.
“That’s not counting the
times I was told I was going to
hell,” Presser said.
Another ACLU lawyer Eliot
Shaver argued the scenes were
“purely a religious symbol,” and
that government should not
“put its finger into religion.”
The Rev. J. Frank Schulman
of Emerson Unitarian Church
testified that he opposed the
Nativity scenes because “the
consequences can only be bad” if
the government acts toward the
support of religious subjects.
But T. Gerald Treece, hired
to represent the county in the
suit, argued the Nativity scenes
are a traditional part of Christ
mas decorations and that Christ
mas had become a national,
secular holiday.
“Nativity scenes are to the
Christmas season what pilgrims
and turkeys are to Thanksgiv
ing,” Treece said.
He said the two scenes — one
purchased in the early 1960s
and the other in 1973 — have
been sold to a senior citizen’s
organization for $301.
