2The Daily Tar HeelfTuesday, October 4, 1983 Professors unlock disease cause By BETH O'KELLEY Staff Writer Three UNC medical school professors have discovered why cystic fibrosis clogs the lungs. Drs. Michael Knowles, John G'atzy and Richard Boucher recently published their findings in the. journal Science. Their findings show that electrically charged particles of the element sodium pull water down through the cells that line the surface of the airways. The chloride ions that are supposed to take the water away in order to keep the moisture content balanced cannot penetrate the cell layer of people with the c Cystic fibrosis is hereditary and rarely' lets its victims live beyond the age of 30. The doctors have found that the moisture in the mucus of the airways is drawn out making it too thick to move through the lungs and perform the cleaning action it has. Gatzy, of the School of Pharmacology, said that he and his colleagues have identi fied techniques that can be adjusted to cor rect the balance and keep the moisture at its correct level. They hope to be able to block the sodium absorption and reduce electrical activity back to normal levels, he said. Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects the lungs, liver and pancreas. Large amounts of mucus are secreted which clog the lungs and prevent the liver and pancreas from secreting digestive en zymes so food cannot be digested proper ly. Most victims die of lung infections. Doctors test for the disease by checking the amount of salt in sweat, saliva and tears. The most severe and earliest ap pearance of cystic fibrosis is discovered when a blockage is found in the intestines at birth. This disorder, transmitted by a recessive gene, is possibly one of the most common and severe diseases. It is most common among whites. Most unaffected carriers who have children have one affected child out of four. R eagan cancels Philippines visit The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Reagan on Monday dropped the strife-torn Philippines and two other Southeast Asian nations from his trip to the Far East next month. Reagan still plans to travel to Japan and South Korea in November, a spokesman said, but the dates may be changed and the trips shortened. Blaming the press of congressional business at home rather than the bloody antigovernment rioting in Manila, presidential spokesman Larry Speakes said Reagan could visit the Philippines, ' Indonesia and Thailand when he goes to China next spring but that no dates have been set. "The president has most reluctantly and with regret decided to postpone visits planned for this November to the Republic of the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand," the spokesman said. He said Reagan had dispatched one of his closest aides, deputy chief of staff Michael K. Deaver, to Asia to deliver Reagan's personal letters of apology and assurances of continued good will. He said U.S. relations with all three countries "are excellent, and we expect them to remain so." Last week, when reports began to circulate that Reagan might not visit the Philippines because of the political turmoil there, President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda, said such a decision could disrupt U.S.-Philippine relations and interfere with continued operation of major U.S. military bases in the islands. Manila, Jakarta and Bangkok were to have been the first three stops on a 17-day, five-nation visit to Asia beginning in early November. But Speakes said, "In view of the fact that Congress will be in session, that key appropriations bills have not yet been enacted and that a continuing resolution has been enacted but will expire Nov. 10, it is clear that the first two weeks of November will be particularly demanding legislative weeks." In response to a question, however, the spokesman said Reagan is not committed to remain in Washington until Congress ad journs, which could be nearly two months from now, and could make his trip to Tokyo and Seoul near the dates previously scheduled. The itinerary had called for Reagan to arrive in Tokyo early in the morning of Nov. 10, travel to Seoul on Nov. 12 and depart for home on the 15th. "The president is disappointed that his original plans had to be changed, but the fact does not alter in any way the fundamental positive relationship between the United States" and the three countries involved, Speakes said. Shortly before the announcement, Reagan confirmed that he might postpone part of his trip. "There is a study and survey right now being made of the entire trip," the president told reporters as he posed for pictures with the visiting president of Cape Verde, Aristides Pereira. Reagan said that "the survey is based totally on the changed situation in Congress, with them remaining in session, and it is not involving the dropping of any country that is scheduled on the trip and it is only a discussion of postponement." His spokesman, however, did not deny that the president's safety was a matter of concern following the assassination of op position leader Benigno Aquino in Manila and violent antigovern ment demonstrations that have followed. "All aspects were taken into consideration" when Reagan made his decision, Speakes said, when asked if security was a con cern. Speakes said Reagan decided to drop the three nations late Thursday, only a few hours after the spokesman had denounced a published report that consideration was being given to changing the itinerary. Asked Thursday morning if he were willing to "make a flat statement there is absolutely no consideration being given to a change of the schedule," Speakes replied: "I did. I said the trip is on." He also said, "We always review security in every country we go to, but we've seen nothing to indicate to change any plans for any country on the scheduled trip." Reagan, in confirming that a change was under study Monday morning, said it was as a result of "the changed situation in Congress." State and: Nation The Associated Press ! BEIRUT, Lebanon Gunmen fired mortars and rocket grenades at Lebanese army positions Monday, forcing Marines deployed nearby to scamper into bunkers and fox holes on maximum alert for the first time in a week-old truce. In another flare-up later in the day, army tanks fired at Shiite Moslem militia positions in a southern slum after the Shiites fired mortar rounds and rocket grenades toward the Christian-populated area of Ain Rummeneh. President Amin Gemayel called an emergency Cabinet ses sion, saying procedural disputes have stymied his efforts to convene a national reconciliation conference among Lebanon's feuding sects. The delay has threatened to further unravel the civil war truce that began Sept. 26. MUENSINGEN, West Germany A mortar shell explod ed in front of about 800 people watching drills by West Ger man army recruits Monday, killing two officers and -wounding 15 people, a military spokesman said. West Germany Parliament deputy Fritz Wittmann was among those injured, an army press officer said. The shell went off a few yards in front of the spectator area. It was not clear how the accident happened, said the officer, who according to West German custom requested anonymity. He said several of the injured were in serious condition. The spectators were standing on platforms supported by ar my trucks to observe shooting exercises by recruits, he said. LYNCHBURG, Va. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, one of the country's best-known liberals, walked into the lion's den of conservatism, preaching his own brand of politics at a fun damentalist Baptist college Monday night as guest of the Rev. Jerry Falwell. For Kennedy, it was an opportunity to speak to some of the "10 million voters who will never agree with us," said an aide. For Falwell, founder and chairman of the Moral Majority, it meant sharing the platform with a man he has criticized in fund-raising appeals as an "ultraliberal." Falwell includes Kennedy on his list of "freezeniks," who he claims weaken America by supporting a nuclear freeze. For just one night, at least, the name-calling seemed likely to stop. , WASHINGTON The Education Department said Mon day it has approved an updated desegregation plan for North Carolina's 58 community colleges and technical institutes. Harry Singleton, director of the Office for Civil Rights in the department, also advised the state system that "it is of critical importance" to carry out as quickly as possible the plan to recruit more black students and faculty, to study the student retention rate in the colleges and take other steps aimed at enhancing desegregation. Singleton, in a letter sent Friday to Robert W. Scott, presi dent of the state department of community colleges, also said it was necessary for the state to fully fund the programs and activities it has agreed to. CHARLOTTE North Carolina's marijuana harvest is worth up to $1.6 billion a year, state officials estimate. "I wouldn't be afraid to say there's a million plants being grown in this state," said Charles Overton, director of the State Bureau of Investigation's 60-member drug detail, he said the SBI values plants at $800 to $1,600 each. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws has a lower estimate, but it still ranks North Carolina fifth in the nation in the production of marijuana. The group says the state's crop is worth $450 million a year. MIAMI Eastern Airlines announced Monday that its non-union employees ovemhelmingly accepted a 15 percent pay cut, which Chairman Frank Borman said was necessary to keep the struggling airline in business. "My feeling is that the numbers displayed in the tallies are pretty much the same throughout the organization," said Richard McGraw, Eastern's vice president for communica tions. He said that as of 4:45 p.m. EDT Monday, 80 percent of the approximately 17,000 non-union workers had cast their ballots. Of them, 13,613 voted for the pay reduction, while on ly 459 rejected it, or 96.7 percent for and 3.3 percent against. The balloting began Thursday, three days after Borman told the company's 37,500 workers in a videotaped message that Eastern would have to turn to bankruptcy court or cease operations if workers did not agree to the pay cuts. Some union leaders vehemently objected to Borman's proposal. . HOUSTON The first space shuttle, Columbia, will re main in service instead of being mothballed for two years, says the administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-' ministration. James M. Beggs said in an interview with Aviation Week magazine that an earlier plan to use Columbia as a parts source for two other shuttles was a bad idea. "One is that it is bad engineering policy to make a hangar queen out of a flying airplane," he said. "It would be a very bad thing to do to lay Columbia up and cannibalize it because I don't think we would ever get it back to the condition it's in now.
