Prayer to The Holy Spirit
Oh Holy Spirit, thou who art all knowing, who
brightens every path that I may reach my ideal,
thou who giveth me the divine gift of forgiving and
forgetting wrongs done unto me and who in every
instant of my life art with me, I'd like in this short di
alogue to affirm my gratitudefor all your blessings
and re-affirm once again that I never want to part
from thee though the illusion of material things
abound. My desire is to be with thee and all my
loved ones in perpetual grace. Thank you for your
mercy on me and mine. (Person should pray 3 con
secutive days without revealing petition. Within
three days grace will be attained regardless of how
difficult the petition may be.) Publish this prayer,
once grace attained.
Grateful for Grace attained,

CHICAGO (AP) — A two-year
study by the Department of Defense
so far has found no evidence that lie
detectors would be useful in screen
ing employees in sensitive positions,
says a congressional report due to be
released shortly.
The Department of Defense,
which was authorized to screen
7,000 people during the last two
years as part of the Counterintelli
gence-Scope Polygraph Test Pro
gram, has screened 3,993 people
and has not collected the informa
tion needed to know whether the
tests were accurate, said Denise
Dougherty of the Congressional Of
fice of Technology Assessment,
which prepared the report.
Dougherty said Wednesday at the
annual meeting of the American As
sociation for the Advancement of
Science that the report was done not
only to determine the effectiveness
of screening of defense personnel
but also to find out whether lie de
tector screening might have any va
lue in private industry.
“It’s obvious that those questions
have not been answered by the De
fense Department,” Dougherty said.
Of the 3,993 people screened so
far, 13 were judged to have been de
ceiving the lie detector examiners
and 3,966 were said not to be decep
tive in their responses to questions.
A decision could not be reached in
Glenn Flood, a spokesman for the
Department of Defense, said he had
not seen the report and could not
comment on it.
He said the failure to test 7,000
subjects during the first two years of
the study was caused by a shortage
of examiners. Nevertheless, Flood
said, “we are committed to the pro
gram.”

eight cases, and six people refused
the test, Dougherty said.
The problem is, however, that
there has been no follow-up to de
termine whether the test results
were accurate.
“The crux of it is we don’t know
whether those 3,966 people (judged
honest) were telling the truth,” she
said.
GENEVA (AP) — Soviet au
thorities have signed an uncondi
tional pardon for imprisoned
Jewish activist Josef Begun, a So
viet official said Wednesday.
Samuel Zivs, head of the Soviet
Anti-Zionist Committee and Vice
President of the Soviet-American
Friendship Association, said So
viet President Andrei Gromyko
or one of his deputies signed the
pardon Tuesday night.
Georgy Arbatov, head of the
Soviet Union’s U.S.A.-Canada In
stitute, said in a televised inter
view last weekend that Begun, 55,
already had been freed.
But on Tuesday, Soviet For
eign Ministry spokesman Gen
nady Gerasimov said authorities
would “most likely” free Begun.
Begun’s family has said offi
cials at Chistopol Prison, about
500 miles east of Moscow, told
them Begun still was imprisoned
there.

NEW YORK (AP) — If the Nobel
Prize for medicine could be given to
a toy company, Nasta Industries
would be a shoo-in.
Twice in the past year, this small
manufacturer of cheap electronics
for children has produced toys with
noteworthy applications — giving
voice to those who could not speak
and aiding the hearing impaired.
“We were as surprised as any
body” by the serious uses to which
the toys were put, said Scott Spiegel,
Nasta’s director of sales.
It all started when an Omaha,
Neb., man discovered that with the
aid of a Transformers Voice Synthe
sizer — a $ 10 item that makes a child
sound like a robot — he could speak
after his cancerous larynx was re
moved.
Then an 80-year-old Tulsa, Okla.,
woman found another use for the
Super Amplifier, an $8 toy that al
lows children to don headsets and,
with a gun-like receiver, amplify
sounds 20 feet away. Totsy Carlson
discovered that in some circum
stances the toy worked better than
her hearing aid.
“She’s hearing things she hasn’t
heard in years,” said Sue Bolding,
Carlson’s daughter. “There are so
many things she has missed.”
Spiegel said it’s too soon to say
whether sales of the Super Amplifier
were affected by news of its medical
application. But he said a half a mil
lion Transformers Voice Synthesiz
ers have been sold, and numerous
hospitals have asked Nasta for dona
tions of the robot-like toys.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Federal
workers Wednesday picked up
some of the 1,500 birds and 3 mil
lion fish that died at a wildlife ref
uge when the water became a
‘chemical sink,” according to one
scientist.
The fish probably were victims
of the increasing salinity of their
evaporating lake and of natural
and manmade poisons, said Dick
Navarre, a fish biologist with the
Fish and Wildlife Service in Reno.
‘The only thing the place has
ever gotten is man’s leftovers,”
said Ron Anglin, manager of the
Stillwater National Wildlife Ref
uge 60 miles east of Reno.
A key problem, he said, is the
location at the end of the Carson
River, where miners dumped
mercury, arsenic and other min
ing byproducts a century ago and
where agricultural pesticides and
fertilizer are dumped today.
The problem started just be
fore Christmas with the deaths of
500,000 fish. It escalated earlier
this month when 3 million scav
enger fish lined the 30-mile shore
of the Carson Sink.

While the disease remains a
major worldwide problem, it has
nearly disappeared in the United
States since World War II. How
ever, a series of regional out
bursts hints that the disease could
return.
Physicians should take strep
throat infections more seriously,
experts say. Strains of the strepto
coccal bacteria that cause sore
throats also may cause rheumatic
fever, which can damage the
heart valves.
Rheumatic fever is tradition
ally a disease of overcrowding
and poverty. With improving liv
ing conditions and the devel
opment of antibiotics, the disease
ceased to be a major concern in
the United States.
Market at standoff after busy session
NEW YORK (AP) — Buyers
and profit-takers slugged it out to
a virtual standoff Wednesday in a
busy and volatile session in the
stock market.
The Dow Jones average of 30
industrials, up about points 18 in
the early going and down about
18 at midsession, closed with a .14
gain at a new closing high of
2,237.63.
Volume on the New York
Stock Exchange came to 218.21
million shares, up from Tuesday
and the largest total in nearly two
weeks.
Analysts said stocks were buf
feted Wednesday by computer-
program activity and crosswinds
of catch-up buying and selling to
cash in on the market’s recent
gams.
Japan rebuked for economic inaction
TOKYO (AP) — The chief au
thor of a 1986 report calling for a
“historic transformation” of Ja
pan’s economy chastised his
countrymen Wednesday for
doing too little to meet those
goals.
He also blamed the U. S. bud
get deficit for trade imbalances.
“I hope the United States takes
measures ... to reduce the fiscal
deficit,” Haruo Maekawa, former
governor of the Bank of Japan,
said in an interview with the Asso
ciated Press.
Maekawa headed a 17-member
government advisory group that
submitted a report to Prime Min
ister Yasuhiro Nakasone last
April calling for a shift from ex
port orientation to greater inter
nal consumption in the Japanese
economy.
