In a five-page le.tter to Navy Sec retary John Lehman, Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., said the Navy could seize the contractor’s facilities to complete the submarines or could let another contractor use them to finish the work. “We don’t have any comment on that,” a General Dynamics spokes man said. A Navy spokesman had not seen spe the Nov. 16 letter and had no imme diate comment. Dingell, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce subcommit tee on oversight and investigations, outlined how top General Dynamics officials, including Chairman David Lewis and chief financial officer Gorden MacDonald, were aware gifts were given to retired Adm. Hy man Rickover, former head of the Navy’s nuclear production program. Such gift-giving would be a fel ony, according to congressional sources. Dingell said an employee of Elec tric Boat, the division of General Dy namics involved in submarine build ing, “admits delivering the gifts to Adm. Rickover and falsifying the books of Electric Boat to cover up the purchase of the jewelry.” “It is clear that the gratuity clauses of both submarine contracts at Elec tric Boat were flagrantly violated.”- Dingell said gratuity clauses have been envoked in the past to cancel contracts, but only against small con tractors. Congressional aides said top man agement could be changed at the contractor’s shipyards without ad verse effect on the work crews and the submarine building program could continue. SAN ANTONIO — A new preg nancy-inducing procedure that mimics the body’s natural processes has been developed by a university research team that claims it is cheaper, faster and more reliable than current test tube techniques. The procedure, called gamete in- tra-Fallopian transfer, or GIFT, could benefit half of all infertile cou- E les who are currently unable to ave children of their own, officials at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio said Monday. GIFT involves placing sperm and eggs directly into the Fallopian tubes to imitate the way a normally ferti lized egg begins its development, said Dr. Ricardo H. Asch, who devel oped the procedure. The GIFT technique has already produced a pregnancy in an uniden tified woman, who is now living in Europe, health center officials said. Tests show the 35-year-old woman, who is in her 19th week of preg nancy, is carrying twins. Asch, professor of obstetrics and gynecology and director of the uni versity’s in vitro fertilization pro gram, said GIFT offers many advan tages over other procedures used to promote pregnancy, including in vi tro fertilization methods. Compared to IVF procedures, GIFT relies to a far greater 1 on the body’s natural pn produce pregnancy b tilized eggs to developintha environment of the Fallopian;] and make their way to the i according to a normal timeii Asch said. The procedure begins by H patient hormones to stimul follicles, the sacs in the ovariej contain the ova, or eggs. The eggs are then taken fro ovaries through a laparosccji telescopic tube inserted in the^ men, and mixed with the hit! sperm in a laboratory dish. The “mixture” is then transrj with a catheter to the woman'sf| pian tubes, where the mixed5 tes complete the fertilizationt and proceed to the uterus ml plantation in the uterine wall. Asch said he believes t the eggs and sperm in the Fail tubes, the “natural incubators'! matically improves the prosp* implantation in the uterus i chance for a full-term pregnantil In vitro fertilization involve! ing the mixed gametesinanii tor for 72 hours, then mixture directly into the uterus I He said the GIFT procedure! less than one hour, as opp several days for IVF, and will a little as $1,500: Vol. 8 Ur I gas true; Ibution [ Subject of movie aids fellow inmakok pec, on neighbo City’s nc More 10,000 1 United Press International AIDS sparks attacks in Australia United Press International SYDNEY, Australia — Homosex uals blamed by angry Australians for the AIDS contamination of the na tion’s only blood bank are being threatened with dismissal from their jobs and violently beaten, officials said Monday. The Battalion SPREADING THE NEWS Thirteen of the 18 people who re ceived transfusions of blood contam inated with the deadly Acquired Im mune Deficiency Syndrome virus have died, including two babies, offi cials said. Medical experts suspect AIDS is transferred through blood products. A majority of the cases have been found in homosexuals. Hemophi liacs, free bleeders, also are a high- risk group. Terry Goulden, director of Syd ney’s Gay Counseling Service, said he believed the situation was escalat ing out of control, particularly on Oxford Street in Sydney, the center of the city’s 52,000-member gay community. Since 1878 The crisis erupted last week when health officials discovered the na tion’s only blood bank was contami nated with AIDS, which destroys the body’s immune system and is almost always fatal. “A violent element has already beaten up some of the gay commu nity,” he said. “This element is preparing to take out their hostility on gays, who feel they are solely responsible for the problem,” Goulden said. “There are many employers threatening their gay staff with the sack and gays be ing ostracized by fellow employees.” Dr. Neil Blewett, minister for health, held a conference of state health officials in Melbourne Sun day on the blood bank crisis and the growing anger against gays. A team of U.S. experts was called in to advise Australian medical au thorities, officials said. The conference decided to re quire all blood donors to sign a dec laration that amounts to a virtual ban on homosexuals giving blood. “Any homosexual who ignores the Blood Bank warning not to give blood and consequently causes an other to die from AIDS could be charged with manslaughter under Queensland law,” Liberal politician Angus Innes warned. BASTROP — Even though he aided a stricken convict over the weekend, former Green Beret sur geon Jeffrey MacDonald is not al lowed to practice medicine on his fellow inmates, a prison official said Monday. And Warden Larry Taylor said inmates’ portrayal of MacDonald — the subject of the television minise ries Fatal Vision — as the hero in an episode in which a prisoner was choking was exaggerated. “He did the same thing as any Good Samaritan would have done,” said Taylor. “I don’t think it was ac curate to say he saved his life.” MacDonald is serving three life sentences for the 1970 murder of his wife and two daughters, but he has consistently maintained his inno cence. Taylor said inmates at the federal prison about 25 miles east of Austin summoned MacDonald Saturday night when a prisoner got something lodged in his throat. MacDonald administered cardio pulmonary resuscitation to the un identified prisoner, who was taken to a hospital in nearby Austin. The inmate recovered and wasi to the prison Sunday, saidlayli Taylor said MacDonald adi tered CPR “once or twice"! to the hospital. The decision by the prisonn routinely utilize MacDonald's i cal training, said Taylor, “isi judgement of his medical abilinl “It’s a matter of us not wane have any medical liability or I MacDonald having any medial bility,” he said. MacDonald, 41, the subjeetd two-part movie Fatal Vision t gan Sunday night, is servingliftl tences for the stabbing and 1 deaths of his pregnant wife, ( and daughters Kimberly, 5,1 Kristen, 2.
