Baby awaits transplant
United Press International
HOUSTON — A 6 '/«-
month-old baby awaiting the
second non-matched bone mar
row transplant ever attempted
was in stable but serious condi
tion Thursday, a hospital
spokeswoman said.
Terrance J. Davis Jr., who
suffers from a congenital medic
al problem that prohibits his
body from fighting infections,
was admitted to Texas Chil
dren’s Hospital Wednesday
night.

Doctors at Texas Children’s
Hospital have scheduled him for
the transplant Monday and said
a decision will be made Friday on
whether his mother or father
will serve as donor.
“He is in stable but serious
condition. His vital signs are
stable, and according to his doc
tor (William T. Shearer, chief of
immunology and allergy), T.J. is
a strong baby, but he has an in
fection which is far advanced,”
said hospital spokeswoman Joan
Lortdon.
Because Terrance is the only
child of Linda and Terry Davis
of Caldwell, Idaho, the trans
plant will not be from a matched
donor, such as a sister or
brother, but from one of his pa
rents, doctors said.
The only other non-matched
bone marrow transplant for an
immune deficiency patient was
performed in October by Shear
er on 12-year-old David, who
has lived in a sterile bubble his
whole life.

United Press International
WASHINGTON — EPA
chief William Ruckelshaus ran
into a barrage of criticism
Thursday from Republican and
Democratic senators who are
angry and frustrated with Presi
dent Reagan’s refusal to call for
an acid rain cleanup.
The Environmental Protec
tion Agency administrator went
before the Senate Environment
and Public Works Committee to
defend the policy. For the three
years he has been in office,
Reagan has opposed any new air
pollution control plan to reduce
acid rain damage to eastern
North America.
Ruckelshaus told the commit
tee Reagan’s decision is “ration
al, not irresponsible,” adding,
“The problem is, these scientific
studies take a frustratingly long
time.”
Reagan ended months of
wrangling among officials at the
EPA, White House and the
budget office when he
announced in his State of the
Union address that the adminis
tration will double funding for
acid rain research — but not
establish a cleanup program.
Leading GOP members of the
committee — John Chafee of
Rhode Island and Chairman
Robert Stafford of Vermont —
blasted Reagan’s decision.
“It seems to me that this (re
search) can go on forever — it
can always be used as an excuse
not to take any action,” said
Chafee.
Stafford — also a strong sup
porter of legislation to cut back
on air pollution that causes acid
rain — wanted to know what
happened in the closed-door de
bate of the powerful Cabinet
Council on Natural Resources
and the Environment.
EPA and congressional
sources said Ruckelshaus advo
cated a limited program to re
duce sulfur dioxide emissions,
but that budget director David
Stockman strongly and effec
tively opposed it.
Scientific reports identify sul
fur dioxide emissions as the
main source of acid rain. But
Reagan objects to imposing mul-
tibiliion-dollar pollution con
trols on industry until there is
more scientific evidence about
the precise causes and effects of
the problem.
Despite prodding by Stafford
and other senators, Ruckelshaus
declined to disclose
details of the administration’s
internal debate.
