Refusenik pioneer arrives
in Israel from Soviet Union
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Vladi
mir Slepak, a pioneer among Jews
trying to leave the Soviet Union,
landed in Israel on Monday and said
“a simple strength, a holy strength”
sustained him during his victorious
17-year struggle.
“I have the feeling this has hap
pened to someone else, not to me,”
Slepak told about 200 friends and
supporters, some of whom handed
him bouquets. “It’s not real.”
Slepak, who arrived from Vienna
aboard a private plane and was
th
greeted with a full minute of ap
plause, hugged and kissed friends
who preceded him out of the Soviet
Union.
He fought longer than almost any
other Soviet Jew to leave the Soviet
Union and is considered a leader
among refuseniks, or Jews who
pressed for the right to emigrate de
spite Soviet refusals and KGB ha
rassment. He had struggled to keep
information flowing to the West in
the darkest hours of the movement.
“I am not an outstanding person,”
the white-bearded Slepak said when
asked how he had managed to hold
up during the fight to emigrate. “I’m
a simple Jew witri a simple strength,
a holy strength.”
When asked about his immediate
plans, Slepak replied, “To get a
shower.”
Immigration Minister Yaacov
Tzur presented Slepak and his wife,
Maria, with new immigrant docu
ments.
“We’ll still need your strength to
build this land,” Tzur told the cou
ple.
Slepak stressed that the West
should not grow overly optimistic
over his release and the visas
granted recently to other leading So
viet Jews.
“The few who have left do not in
dicate any change in Soviet policy,”
he warned. “It was only done to ob
tain something from the West
usual trick of Soviet power,''
Slepak arrived just threefc
fore his 60th birthday. Pri
Chaim Herzog plans to host
day party for Slepak at his resi
later this week, and ForeignMi
Shimon Peres is due to host
at a reception Tuesday.
Slepak, who had arrivej
Vienna from Moscow on Sit:
joins a growing number of .
known Jewish dissidents who)
received permission to emigre
the last several months.
The releases and a climb in«t
emigration figures isviewedasn
of a thaw in Israel’s ties with if:
that could have a favorable
on the climate of East-Westrel
and ef forts to arrange M
peace talks.
Israel has insisted on achiij
Soviet policy towards emigrate
precondition for Soviet involvi
in the peace process.

Mice experiments
produce protein
for human drugs
WASHINGTON (AP) — Genetic
engineering experiments have de
veloped mice that produce a useful
human protein in tneir milk in a de
velopment that could have billion-
dollar implications for drug man
ufacturers, scientists said Monday.
The procedure offers the pros
pect for making a variety of pharma
ceutical proteins relatively safely and
inexpensively in what would amount
to living animal factories.
While the initial experiments were
on mice, a herd of goats is already
being assembled to get a larger vol
ume of milk. Eventual plans are to
use cows.
The protein induced in the initial
experiments was TPA, an anticlot
ting agent in human blood that is be
ing cieveloped as medication for
heart attack victims.
However, researchers from the
National Institutes of Health and
from Integrated Genetics Inc. of
Framingham, Mass., said they see no
major technical problems in dupli
cating the process to develop other
human proteins that could have
medical applications.
Although TPA, or tissue plasmi
nogen activator, is still awaiting Food
and Drug Administration approval
for general use, it already has been
used on an estimated 4,000 heart at
tack patients in clinical testing.
Many physicians have said it can
save the lives of heart attack victims
by dissolving clots in their blood. Dr.
Charles Abbottsmith, director of
cardiology at Christ Hospital in Cin
cinnati, has referred to it as the
“penicillin of heart attacks.”
TPA now is available in commer
cial form only from Genentech Inc.,
of South San Francisco, which uses a
relatively expensive synthetic proc
ess to produce the drug. The com
pany nas received permission to
market TPA in France, New Zealand
and the Philippines.
The NIH announcement said the
procedure developed by Integrated
Genetics and the government scien
tists offers a technique for isolating
human proteins that is both safer
and cheaper than existing methods.
Both the safety and cost factors
concern the difficulty in purifying
the desired protein from human
blood without also passing along un
desirable factors. The NIH tape
mentioned the AIDS virus as an ex
ample of blood-borne products that
have to be carefully screened with
the existing technology.
By programming animals to pro
duce only the desired human pro
tein in milk, scientists believe the ex
traction and purification process
would be safer — though Smith said
not necessarily that much cheaper.
The big savings, he said, come in
the cheap cost of the milk itself once
a herd is established.
Katherine Gordon, another Inte
grated Genetics researcher, esti
mated that a herd of 100 cows could
produce enough TPA to supply the
world market “and that’s actually
quite conservative.”

Reagan says Soviet affairs
‘up in air’ due to Gorback
PI
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan said Monday that U.S.-
Soviet affairs are “a little up in the
air” following Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev’s refusal to pick a date
for a summit, but added he still be
lieves a treaty to ban medium-range
nuclear weapons is “going to be
signed.”
“I don’t think it was a diplomatic
setback, and whether it was a ma
neuver or not, I wouldn’t have an
answer to that,” Reagan told Euro
pean television correspondents.
But at the same time, the presi
dent acknowledged that “we were
hoping they would set a date” for a
superpower summit that would
bring Gorbachev to the United
States for the first time.
“We have said to them, that it’s up
to them to set a date if they would
like to have it, and I have not
counted it out as yet,” Reagan
added. “I don’t think that it was a de
liberate negative because I think
they would have simply said they
weren’t going to be” attending a
summit, he said.
Of the move by the two superpow
ers to reach agreement on a treaty to
eliminate intermediate-range nu
clear force weapons, Reagan said, “It
seems that our negotiators have
eliminated all of the major differ
ences, and there may be a few little
details to work out. But we do be
lieve that’s going to be signed. . . . Of
course, we’re a little up in the air
right now.”
“The president won’t give them
something in exchange for a summit
that he thinks is unwise from the
standpoint of the United States,”
Shultz said on the “MacNeil-Lehrer
News Hour.”
Shultz said the U.S. side was pre
pared to discuss with the Soviets the
U.S. quest for a space-based defense
against ballistic missiles.
“But we are not
don’t think we ever will bem-
throw in the towel on learaj

in reaction to overseas sellolls m*
NEW YORK (AP) — A fresh wave of selling gripped
Wall Street on Monday as the stock market, reacting to
a stock selloff overseas, posted its worst performance
since last week’s historic collapse.
In a procedure adopted Friday, major exchanges
closed two hours early to curb the enormous volume
building up since Monday’s plunge, when stocks lost
more than $500 billion in value and the Dow Jones in
dustrial average plummeted 508 points.
The New York and American stock exchanges said
they also planned to shut down early through Friday.
The Dow Jones average of 30 industrial stocks, which
registered a 300-point deficit last week, plunged 156.83
to 1,793.93 — an 8.04 percent decline. That was the
second-largest daily point drop and the sixth-largest
loss in percentage terms since the average was increased
to 30 stocks in 1928.
Losers outpaced gainers by about 14 to I on the New
York Stock Exchange, with 1,788 down, 126 up and
102 unchanged.
