The warning was in a report published in “Ca, ” a journal of the American Cancer Society.

Anyone mixing anti-cancer drugs outside that safety port is required to wear gown, gloves, mask and safety glasses. The working area is co vered with a disposable, plastic- lined towel. The cancer specialists said the problem nationally is made more difficult because most cancer che motherapy, which is known to cause abnormalities in laboratory animals, is administered in doc tors’ offices. “Increased risk, if it does exist, should be of great concern to those handling antineoplastic agents,’’ the specialists said, recommend ing the following precautions already in effect at Mount Sinai Medical Center and some other institutions. They suggested training work ers in safety procedures, transfer ring pregnant workers, and cover ing exposed skin surfaces with long-sleeved gowns and throw away polyvinyl gloves. Where large volumes of drug preparation take place, they recommended us ing a vertical laminar airflow hood, or a mask and safety glasses in abs ence of bood. Hand-washing be fore and after handling drugs is mandatory. To maintain environmental safety, they advised keeping drugs in containers to minimize atmos pheric and surface contamination, and incinerating waste materials or handling them as biohazardous waste. To prevent aerosol forma tion, they warned against clipping needles from syringes after use. United Press International CORPUS CHRISTI — Police said Tuesday they had no suspects in the theft of two Picasso paint ings valued at more than $9(K),(X)0 from the Art Museum of South Texas. The stolen paintings were iden tified as “Tete De Femme ”, a 1946 piece of work valued at $550,000, and the 1949 “Buste De Femme” worth an estimated $360,00. The works were part of a multi- million dollar temporary exhibit of Dali, Miro and Picasso paintings on loan from a New York gallery. The exhibit had been on display since Aug. 25. Police said the thieves threw a cinder block through the SVs-inch thick glass double doors to the main lobby shortly before 4 a.m. Monday to gain access. The pic tures were hanging on a wall dire ctly across from the entrance. Police said they believed the robbers were looking specifically for those two paintings, since a Dali painting worth an estimated $2.1 million and a third Picasso, “Femme Se Coiffant,” were left behind. Both of the stolen paintings were vertical oil depictions of women from Pieasso’s realistic period. A silent alarm went off, but the robbers escaped before police ar rived. Authorities said early Tues day they had no suspects in the case. Jim Edwards, the museum’s curator, said both paintings are well documented and will be diffi cult to sell in the legitimate mar ket. However, museum officials feared the theft could hinder fu ture major art exhibitions in the city. Last March, thieves used a similar cinder block to smash through the glass at the nearby Corpus Christi Museum and stole jewelry. “By their actions, the burglars have compromised the integrity of the museum and the intregity of the community, said museum di rector Ric Collier.

The survey of 5,000 Texas employers by the Advisory Council for Technical- Vocational Education in Texas drew 1,143 responses. They were asked to base their re sponses on only those entry level jobs that required less than a bachelor’s degree.

Joe Corbett, of Pittsburg, pleaded not guilty Monday to con spiracy and six counts of inhumane treatment of wild horses. He was released on a $1,0(X) personal rec ognizance bond after pleading not guilty. Thomas Clemons also entered a not guilty plea to conspiracy and charges he made false statements on papers filed by Corbett with the wild horse adoption program. Clemons, an officer at Pittsburg National Bank, also was released on bond. Corbett was tried earlier this year in state court for cruelty, but the case ended with a deadlocked jury. Clemons testified during that trial and later was charged with conspiracy for allowing Cor bett to use the horses for collateral on a loan even though the federal government held title to the animals. Corbett, who got the horses for $25 each under the adoption plan designed to protect the animals, was arrested after officials 25 dead horses at his ranch last November. Another 23 died later of malnutri tion and other causes. The rancher has maintained many of the animals were in had health after they traveled from Palomino Valley, Nev., to his land in northeast Texas. If convicted of the conspiracy count, each man could face up to five years in jail and a $10,000 fine.
