That would cost up to $150 mil lion a year just for publicly funded programs, said Miriam Alter, head of hepatitis surveillance at the Cen ters for Disease Control in Atlanta. Hepatitis B infections cost the nation more than $700 million a year in treatment and lost worktime. No cost-effectiveness analysis of the massive vaccination approach has been done, but “that’s what we think is the ideal strategy,” Alter said. CDC is not now recommending it because no money is available, and much organizing among pediatri cians, parents and local health de partments would be required before it could begin, she said in an inter view, adding she hoped it could be put in place “someday soon.” An estimated 300,000 new hepati tis B infections occur every year in the United States, said Alter. The annual number of new cases rose 67 percent from 1978 to 1985 although a vaccine became available in 1982. Some 5,000 to 6,000 Americans a year die from resulting liver disease, including chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and cancer. Vaccination is now recommended for people in high-risk groups. Be cause the virus can be spread by sex ual contact or infected hypodermic needles, those at risk include homo- sexually active men, heterosexuals with multiple sex partners, health care workers, drug abusers and those who have sex with infected people. Although about 2.5 million Amer icans have been vaccinated, Alter said, the effort has done little to stem the disease. At least 30 percent of the infected people don’t come from any of the high-risk groups, and most inoculations have been given to health care workers, who comprised no more than 5 percent of hepatitis B cases even before the vaccine was available, she said. Vaccinating every infant would be effective, but it would take years be fore the children got old enough to affect disease totals appreciably. Al ter said. Including 12-year-olds at the same time would have a faster impact. The two-pronged program would initially cost $100 million a year in public funding and peak at $150 million, the decline because adoles cent immunizations would be stopped once inoculated infants reached age 12, she said. CDC recently gave the cost figures to Congress, which sought a strategy to eliminate hepatitis B. Alter said she was not aware of any reaction. More than 62 judges among U.S. millionaires WASHINGTON (AP) — For Judge Cyhthia Hall, a vacation is a month in Malaysia watching birds. For Judge Richard Cudahy, invest ments earn enough in a year to pay the salaries of all nine Supreme Court justices — perhaps twice over. They are two of the nation’s seve ral dozen, or more, millionaire fed eral judges. An Associated Press study of 935 financial disclosure re ports by federal judges found at least 62 and possibly as many as 176 millionaires. Exact numbers cannot be deter mined, because the disclosure forms value most assets and income within wide numerical ranges rather than in exact dollar amounts. Among the 62 certain millionaires are names familiar to many Ameri cans: • Lewis F. Powell, Jr., 81, retired Supreme Court justice, with invest ment holdings between $1.7 million and $3.2 million. Powell now sits as a senior judge on circuit courts. • Circuit Judge James L. Buck ley, 66, a former New York senator and the brother of columnist-talk show host William Buckley, put his holdings between $1.4 million and $2.9 million. • Circuit Judge Clement F. Haynsworth Jr., 76, nominated un successfully by Richard Nixon to the Supreme Court in 1969, had hold ings between $2.8 million and $4.6 million. • District Judge Gerhard A. Ge- sell, 78, who presided over Oliver North’s Iran-Contra case, had hold ings between $1 million and $1.3 million. Many of the judges made their money in private practice before be coming judges; others inherited great wealth. Some, such as senior Circuit Judge Bailey Aldrich of Mas sachusetts, did both. He practiced law for 22 years and is a member of one of America’s old, wealthy fami lies. Aldrich reported an investment portfolio of between $2.9 million and $5.1 million. Edie Brickell closes U.S. tour with homecoming DALLAS (AP) — Edie Brickell and New Bohemians wrapped up their U.S. tour with a Dallas home coming before heading off for Eu rope. A capacity crowd cheered the six- member band during a performance Friday night at the 2,400-seat Bronco Bowl. “This is weird being back home and being here,” said Brickell. “But it’s great to be back. We’re excited.” The group, which got its start in clubs in Dallas’ stylish Deep Ellum neighborhood, left Sunday for Eu rope, where it will open for Bob Dy lan during his overseas tour. New Bohemians’ debut album, “Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars,” has sold 2 million copies since its release last summer. The group’s first single, “What I Am,” reached Billboard’s Top 10. Reaction (Continued from page 1) midafternoon meeting among Bush and congressional leaders at the White House. “I think he’s done the right thing.” Sen. Claiborne Pell, D-R.L, chair man of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said “there was a well- done feeling from all of us. We agreed right around the table that it would be incorrect to take any pre cipitous actions, that the president was handling it just right and accordingly.” Senate leaders said they would in troduce a bipartisan sense-of-the- Senate resolution on Tuesday back ing the president’s moves and con demning the violence in China. Conservative Sen. Jesse Helms, R- N.C., said Bush’s actions were “fine so far.” However, he said stiffer measures, including trade sanctions and U.S. opposition to further inter national loans to China, might be needed if the violence continues. “Those students in Beijing have played the real China card,” Helms said. “They are demanding freedom and I think they are going to get it.” At the State Department, a spokesman said American students in Beijing were being advised to leave the campuses and gather in ho tels because of the chaotic situation. However, the spokesman, Margaret Tutwiler, said there had been no threats against the Americans. The State Department also issued a new travel advisory, cautioning Americans not to visit China, and it instituted a “warden system” of asking those already there to make their presence known to U.S. diplo matic offices. Later Monday, at a meeting in the Oval Office, Bush told a group of visiting Chinese students: “We’ve got to speak out against the brutality (but) somehow make clear that our argument, like yours, is just with those who resort to force, not the Chinese people.” One of the students, Jia Hao, a doctoral candidate in political sci ence at George Washington Univer sity, said suspension of military sales would encourage the student dem onstrators and be ‘a big blow for those who are responsible for the massacre, those butchers of Beijing.” Some congressional critics have accused Bush of waiting too long to act in response to the crackdown, in which the Chinese military routed pro-democracy demonstrators. But the president, who served as U.S. envoy to China in 1974-75 and said he decided his course of action based on his knowledge of Chinese history, defended his pace. “I don’t feel that we’ve waited long when you have a force of this nature and you have events of this nature unfold ing,” he said.
