73rd Year No. 100 Good Morning! It's Sunday, January 11, 1981 4 Sections 54 Pages 50 Cents Influenza expected soon as students return to area ByJohnHartman Missourian staff writer Brace yourself, Columbia: The flu is headed this way. " It may well be here now, if not now, then next week," said Mike Sanfong director of the Boone County Health Unit There have been reports of flu- li- ke illnesses in the area, he said, but there have been no con-firmed cases of flu. ' A St Louis man died Wednesday from a con-firmed case of A- Bang-kok flu, according to Dr. Arthur Liang, service officer from the national Center for Disease Control, which monitors Mis-souri. Liang said three cases were confirmed Friday in Kansas City. Officials at the center reported Friday that A- Bang-kok, previously unreported in Missouri, has reached epidemic proportions in Massachu-setts, Alaska, Montana and New York, with out-- breaks in 13 other states. Columbia could be particularly vulnerable be-cause the students returning to area colleges could bring the flu with them, Sanf ord said. Influenza is difficult to stop once it starts to spread among a population, and it can spread rapidly in a university environment, Liang said. The difficulty is componded, he said, because people can carry and spread the disease. There is a vaccine available, and people vac-cinated last fall should be safe, Sanford said. A flu shot now would be futile, he said, because the body needs two to four weeks after the vac-cination to build immunity. According to Liang, A- Bang- kok influenza isn't more virulent than other strains, and healthy unvaccinated people should not worry about be-coming seriously ill form it " We're not pushing the vaccine to the average citizen," Liang said, adding that the vaccine is appropriate for the ill or elderly, if it is taken before the flu arrives. j i liiie9 sweet home Kevin Morley, left, talks with Matt Swanson in his temporary living quarters in a Hudson Hall lounge. Morley, of Rich-mond, Va., and 1C others are living for now in Hudson's sec-ond, third and fourth floor lounges because of a shortage of rooms. Ironically, most, dorms are vacant now, but the situation is changing fast vriSr the return of students for Mon-day classes. Meanwhile, Mor-ley and his cohorts are waiting to see whether rooms will be-come available. For now, three other students are getting by in Morley's lounge. " Tftere are bunk beds set up but there are only three desks so aS of us can't study at once if we need to," he said. CtefcGctenl Senate panel will subpoena Nixon- Hai- g tape summaries ByAdamClymer t New York Times WASHINGTON In a compromise that all but assured the prompt confirmation of Alex-ander M. Haig Jr. as secretary of state, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee agreed Saturday to subpoena logs summarizing 100 hours of tapes of 1973 conversations between Haig and President Nixon. The logs were sought so they could be checked to see if the tapes themselves were needed to judge Haig's qualifications. Com-mittee Democrats agreed that a Senate vote on Haig's nomination should not be put off if there was a delay in obtaining logs or tapes. Republicans hope to push the vote through on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20. No subpoena was issued Saturday, howev-- I er, as Sen. Charles H. Percy, the committee I chairman, sought a voluntary agreement that would allow committee access. Robert Warner, head of the National Archives, and Herbert J. Miller, an attorney for Nixon, are to meet Sunday. " If we do not have the cooperation of past President Nixon's lawyers, we will have no choice but to issue the subpoena," Percy said Saturday night. He said he preferred a volun-tary route to avoid time consuming liti-gation. Haig continued his dominance of the hear-ings themselves, though he risked a chal-lenge from the right when he declared that he would not be bound by the Republican Party platform and took several positions that did not support that conservative docu-ment Haig's assertion that he would not feel bound by a document " that I had no role in drafting" was an unusually frank acknowl-edgement of the disregard with which ad- - ministrations often treat their platform pledges, especially since it came 10 days be-fore the new administration takes office. Sen. Jesse Helms, R- N.- C, was out of the room at the tune but said he would demand that Haig explain himself at Monday's hear-ing. Helms did not get a chance to raise the is-sue Saturday because the last 90 minutes of the meeting were given over entirely to argu-ing about tapes, subpoenas and logs. First. Sen. Claiborne Pell, the Rhode Is-lander who is the committee's senior Demo-crat, asked the majority to agree to subpoe-na those 100 hours of tapes, far less than he originally requested. " We are not seeking to rehash Watergate," be insisted. But Sen. Charles H. Percy, the Illinois Re-publican who chairs the committee, said m-- ( See LAWYERS, Page 12A ) Buckeyes Bnsinsfs demolition derby BUCKEYE, La.

In his office down the hall, harried Principal Charles Wait- e- s his eyes snowing the strain of being squeezed by two feuding judges reluctantly scratched the names of three white girls from the school roster. " This shows that the federal courts are running our schools and I'm sick and tired of it," Waites said. He faced a possible jail sentence for ignoring State District Judge Rich-ard Lee's order to enroll the girls and $ S0O- a- da- y contempt of court fines from Federal Judge Nauman Scott if he let mem in. When the girls tried to return to Buckeye after the Christmas holidays, a festering confrontation between the federal and state courts opened. The cries of " state's rights" were so loud you would have thought the Civil War had started again.. InsigtBt Caught in the middle were three girls who wanted to go to school with their friends but ended up being escorted by state troopers. Scott, a federal judge since 1970 and a lifelong resident of Rapides Parish, stayed in the courtroom trying to enforce his order designed to achieve racial balance in schools but Lee jumped freely into the public spectacle. The all- whi- te Buckeye area, a rural region that is evolving into middle- incom- e, tree- shad- ed subdivisions, has been known as a haven for Klan activities, and the word " nigger" peppers the comments of patrons down the road at Riders' Truck Stop. " The reason people are moving out here is to get away from the problems in the city schools," said the husband of a Buckeye teacher who refused to be identified. " Dont use my name or they may transfer my wife to a nigger school." ". The battle has turned Judge Lee, a descendant of Confed-erate Gen. Robert E. Lee, into a folk hero.

I San Salvador rebels begin long- promis- ed offensive SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador ( UPI) Leftist guerrillas began their long- promis- ed general of-fensive against the U. S.- back- ed Salvadoran junta Saturday with coordinated attacks on government troops stationed around the capital, witnesses said. " This is the moment. Free homeland or death," the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front said in a short broadcast over Radio Romantica, a private station in the capital that the guerrillas had apparently seized. " People of El Salvador, we have now started the national liberation. Now is the time to look for flammable material and take to the streets." In Washington, there was no immediate reac-tion from the State Department. Undetermined numbers of the guerrillas at-tacked the National Guard command post in east-ern San Salvador and the nearby air base with bombs, rocket- propelle- d grenades and automatic weapons fire, witnesses said. Residents of the capital's northern neighbor-hoods of Ciudad Delgado and Cuscantancingo re-ported " columns of guerrillas" had entered the district and taken control. Heavy fighting was reported around the San Salvador University in the heart of the capital, In Soyapango. about foar miles east of the capi-tal, dozens of residents were pinned down under crossfire between the attacking guerrillas and de-fending government troops, the witnesses said. At least one building burned out of control but neither firemen nor Red Cross rescue squads en-tered the area because of the heavy fighting, they said. The attacks, apparently coordinated and begun within minutes of each other, are part of the long- promis- ed " general offensive" by leftist guerrillas to topple the military- Chistia- n Democrat junta headed by Jose Napoleon Duarte, which is strong-ly supported by the United States. The broadcast on the seized Romantica station, interspersed with revolutionary music and loud, emotional shouts urging the populace to join the rebellion, said the leftists had taken over 11 small towns and neighborhoods. The broadcast said the leftists dug trenches across the main highway entering the capital from the north. In addition, reliable sources said the guerrillas took over the Puente de Oro, a strategic bridge 43 miles ( 68.8 kilometers) east of the capital linking the eastern section of the country and its gov-ernment troops with San Salvador. Witnesses in Chalcnuana. located on an impor-tant highway 47 miles ( 75.2 kilometers ) west of the capital, reported heavy fighting between the guerrillas and government troops. Details on the number of guerrillas participat-ing in the offensive were not immediatelv avail-able, but the Farabundo Marti Front, an umbrella group of El Salvador's five leftist guerrilla orga-nizations, consists of an estimated 4,000 to 6,000 rebels. Iran most likerv will OK hostage terms by Friday By John Kifner 1 New York Times TEHRAN. Iran Sounding an optimistic note, a key Irani-an official said Saturday that an answer " most likely" ac-ceptance on the proposed terms for the release of the American Embassy hostages would be given by Friday, the deadline set by the Carter administration. " The Algerian statement, including the undertakings. which lias to be accepted by the two countries of Iran and the United States, is being studied, and the results shall be an-nounced officially by the end of the current week." Ahmd Azizi, the director of hostage affairs said. Azizi. the govern-ment's second- rankin- g spokesman on the hostages, adde d : " In its statement, the Algerian delegation has raised cer-tain points, which have been considered, in principle, accep-table, and which will, most likely, be accepted by the Iranian government." Azizi, in a brief interview with the Persian- languag- e af-ternoon newspaper Kayban. was speaking of the end of the Islamic week, which would be Friday. Jan. 16. which the Carter administration has said was the latest that it could make an agreement before leaving office. His remarks were the first public comment by an official here since Behzad Nabavi, the minister of state for executive affairs, who is in charge of the hostage negotiations, said on Wednesday that the Algerian intermediaries had drawn up a proposal designed to end the 14- nionth-- old hostage dispute. That night. Under Secretary of State Warren M. Christo-pher suddenly flew to Algeria to answer questions passed on through the intermediaries here. The questions were under-stood to concern financial details involving Iran's frozen as-sets in America. Christopher has remained in Algeria. While the precise terms of the Algerian proposal are not known, it appears to be an expansion of the original role of the diplomats as go- betwee-ns, shuttling messages back and forth between the two nations. The Algerian plan was drawn up after the diplomats took an Iranian proposal to Washington, where they had four days of talks with American officials. Iran's proposal then was for the United States to deposit S24 billion in the Algerian Central Bank as " guarantees" for the return of frozen assets and the late shah's wealth. Nabavi, in explaining the Algerian proposal, said: "' In these suggestions, the Algerian government has said it : s ready to undertake the warranties of both sides, which means the United States and Iran will leave their commit-ments in the hands of the Algerian government. We will pass it on to them." It thus appeared that the Algerians were offering to func-tion as a sort of trustee or as kind of holder of the stakes responsible for adminstering the transfer of the hostages and the return of Iran's assets. The United States and Iran seem essentially agreed on terms to fulfill the four conditions set by Parliament on Nov. 2 for the release of the hostages. Doctors cure girl by freezing brain CLEVELAND UPIi Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic hail as a miracle the recovery of a young g: ri who had suffered seizures that almost killed her but was cured after her brain was put to sleep. Doctors at the clinic paralyzed, cooled and put Julie DeCapua, 11, Bay V illage. into a deep coma by using barbiturates. The treatment was decided upon when she began having almost non- st- op seizures about a month ago af-ter suffering an attack of the flu. Doctors at first thought she had Reye's syr. drcrne. sometimes an after- effe- ct of the flu. or a brain tumor. but tests at the clinic ruled out those two possibilities. Dr. Gerald Erenberg. a pediatric neurologist, and Dr. James Oriowski, assistant director of the Cimc's Pediatric and Surgical Intensive Care Unit, then thought the child had viral encephalitis, a brain in-flammation caused by a virus, but tests failed to con-firm that diagnosis. Oriowski and Erenberg decided to try a treatment j that would pot the girl's brain temporarily to sleep. I They then put fee girl on a respirator and gave her barbiturates to put her into a deeper coma. They par-alyzed her wi& other drugs and put her on ice to drop her temperature to about 85 degrees F 29degreesCi. After five days they raised her temperature and got it back to normal. At first she had a few mild seizures, but an electrcen-- I cephalogram showed amazing results. 1 " I'm not ashamed to say that I classify this as a mir-- I I acte." said Erenberg. " I
