Reagan lauds Sessions
at swear-in ceremony
Vol. 87
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan, swearing in William S.
Sessions as his new FBI director,
praised him and Supreme Court
nominee Douglas Ginsburg as men
concerned about the rights of vic
tims of crime.
The president made his com
ments during the swearing-in cere
mony in the courtyard at FBI head
quarters.
Reagan said that the country
should commit itself to caring in the
future “about victims’ rights, not just
criminal rights.”
“The next justice on the Supreme
Court better be ready to deal with
that challenge, and Judge Ginsburg
is ready,” Reagan said.
During a brief tour earlier of the
FBI building, Reagan said he wasn’t
concerned about allegations of
Ginsburg’s possible conflict of inter
est involving his cable investments.
Ginsburg faces Senate questions
about his role in an administration
effort that helped win First Amend
ment protection for cable televisior.
operators at a time Ginsburg hadal
most $140,000 invested in a cabk
company.
At the swearing-in, Reagan joked
:all
that in his typically thorough mai
ner, Sessions “got the ulcer out of
the way before you got the job.”
Sessions, 57, has spent a weekand
a half in the hospital this month fori
previously undiagnosed bleeding ul
cer whicn twice forced postpone
ment of his installation.
Reagan stands by Ginsberg;
senators want investigation
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan stood by his Supreme
Court nominee Monday as Senate
Democrats said they would investi
gate Douglas H. Ginsburg’s having
held stock in a cable TV company
while supervising a government ef
fort to win First Amendment protec
tion for cable television operators.
Meanwhile, conservative groups
said they were not concerned about
reports that Ginsburg’s wife, Dr.
Hallee Perkins Morgan, performed
two abortions and assisted in a third
as a medical resident in Boston in
1979-80. One conservative spokes
man said she should be commended
for making a personal decision to
stop participating in such proce
dures.
Members of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, which will conduct hear
ings on Ginsburg’s nomination, cau
tioned senators not to jump to con
clusions about a possible conflict of
interest in the cable television mat
ter. But they also made clear they be
lieve the issue should be investi
gated.
Financial disclosure statements in
dicate that at the time of the cable
court case, Ginsburg had a stake of
almost $140,000 in Rogers Commu
nications Inc. The Supreme Court
•embraced the administration's
friend-of-the-court brief, whick
Ginsburg had helped prepare as i
Justice Department official, in a
1986 decision likely to reduce gov
ernment regulation of cable opera
tors.
Reagan, asked by reporters
whether he felt he had been given
enough information about Ginsburg
prior to last Thursday’s nomination,
said he had thoroughly reviewed the
major candidates.
When asked whether he was con
cerned about reports of Ginsburg’s
cable investments, Reagan said, “No,
not at all.”
New treatment fights
lethal consequences
of radiation exposure
NEW YORK (AP) — Treatment
with two naturally occurring sub
stances that stimulate bone marrow
may protect against some of the
most lethal consequences of radia
tion exposure and cancer chemo
therapy, researchers said Monday.
Radiation and anti-cancer drugs
both interfere with bone marrow’s
production of infection-fighting
white blood cells. The new treatment
triggers renewed production of
those cells, thus lowering the likeli
hood of life-threatening infections,
according to a report in the current
issue of the Proceedings of the Na
tional Academy of Sciences.
“The period when the patient is at
greatest risk of infection due to re
duced white cell functions is re
duced,” said Dr. Malcolm Moore, a
cancer specialist at the Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in
New York City and principal author
of the new study.
If such drugs prove successful in
human trials that are now begin
ning, their principal use would be
with cancer patients receiving che
motherapy or radiation treatment
and with people suffering from
other bone-marrow diseases.
Such drugs could also serve as a
treatment for people exposed to ra
diation during nuclear war, Moore
said.
A similar drug was reportedly
used recently to treat two victims of
accidental radiation exposure in
Brazil and was credited with saving
their lives.
Previous studies by Moore and
others have shown that one of the
substances, called granulocyte col
ony stimulating factor, or G-CSF,
could boost numbers of the white
blood cells known as neutrophils,
which defend against invading bac
teria.
The new study shows that another
similar substance, called interleukin-
1 or IL-1, also can boost the produc
tion of neutrophils in laboratory ani
mals. And when both drugs were
tried together, the effect was greater
than that of either one alone, he
said.
Toddler rests
after transplant
of five organs
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A 3-
year-old girl was awake and kick-
-organ
ing with her favorite doll beside
her Monday as doctors watched
for any signs of rejection after she
became only the third person in
the nation to receive a five-c
transplant.
Tabatha Foster of Madison-
ville, Ky., Remained in critical
condition, which is normal after
transplant surgery, at Children’s
Hospital of Pittsburgh, said hos-
pital spokesman Lynn
McMahon.
Transplant pioneer Dr.
Thomas Starzl said Tabatha was
wide awake but could not talk be
cause she was breathing with a
respirator, which may be re
moved Tuesday. She was sedated
enough to make her comfortable,
and her arms were restrained.

Stock prices rise slightly in quiet trading
NEW YORK (AP) — Stock prices rose slightly Mon
day in the calmest trading since the crash two weeks
ago, giving Wall Street the appearance of normality de
spite the potential threat of a sharply weaker dollar.
The Dow Jones average of 30 industrial stocks, which
tumbled a record 508 points Oct. 19 and 156.83 points
Oct. 26, traded within a relatively narrow range on this
Monday. The indicator quickly recovered from a 26
point deficit and closed up 20.56 at 2,014.09.
It was the fifth straight session that the nation’s best-
known stock measure ended with a gain. Broader mar
ket indices also rose Monday.
Volume on the New York Stock Exchange totaled a
relatively moderate 176.04 million shares, the first time
volume was less than 200 million since the collapse. It
was the lowest volume since Oct. 13, when 172.87 mil
lion shares were traded.
Gaining stocks outnumbered losers by more than 5to
3 in composite trading on the New York Stock Ex
change, where 1,093 issues rose in price, 629 declined
and 289 remained unchanged.
