NEW YORK (AP) - In a
promising application of
recently developed genetic
techniques, scientists are using
cancer “fingerprints” to spot
some forms of the disease1
earlier, predict their likely
courses and prescribe more
effective treatment, medical
researchers report.
Using the technique, doctors
can verify a borderline
diagnosis of a white blood
cancer known as chronic
granulocytic leukemia - and
predict when the virulent phase
of the disease will appear.
The "fingerprint” technology
developed 10 years ago but only
now coming into routine clinical
use, also can alert doctors to
patients who have undergone
surgery for bladder cancer but
face a recurrence, the
researchers say.
The scientists’ reports this
week to a seminar here came as
the federal government an-
nounced that the cancer cure
rate is approaching 50 percent
in the United States.

Computer 'hit' jails pair
Two men are in custody in the
Hopkins County Jail Tuesday
after being arrested by a DPS
trooper Monday on alcohol-
related charges.
It was later found out that the
two men were wanted on other
charges as well.
Trooper Paul Starnes stopped
the vehicle on 1-30 about 5:30
p.m. Monday, arresting
William Lennon, 19, of Florida
for DWI and William Bishop, 22,
of Kansas for public in-
toxication.
A check on the computer
revealed that the car they were
operating was reported stolen
from Dallas.
Further checks on the
computer resulted in a “hit” on
Bishop.
Bishop is wanted by the
Kansas City Sheriff’s Depart-
ment on charges of parole
violation and homicide (in-
voluntary manslaughter),
according to investigators.
PTA drive
draws blank
Hie Middle School PTA needs
more members. Membership
drive chairwoman, Jill Helm
said that at the recent open
house, “no one signed up.”
According to the chair-
woman, anyone can become a
PTA member, whether they
have children in school or not.
The membership is $1 and the
school keeps 40 cents out of each
dollar to be used for projects.
The remainder is used for state
and national projects. Last year
the Middle School PTA pur-
chased benches for the area
between the two buildings.
Bowie School, with a
population of 280 students has
450 PTA members. The Middle
School has only 100 PTA
members.
Middle School students will be
bringing a letter home this
week, requesting PTA mem-
bership. Mrs. Helm said that
membership does not mean
work, just the 91 foe. Those

DEATHS
Americans a year and is the
second most common cause of
death behind heart disease, she
said.
Sponsors said the two-day
seminar at New York’s
Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center was the first to
deal with the practical uses of
the new genetic technique
called “chromosome banding.”
“We can use chromosome
studies to diagnose certain
leukemias and lymphomas,
predict how patients will do and
also how they’ll respond to
therapy," said Dr. R.S.K.
Chaganti, head of the genetics
lab at Sloan-Kettering and co-
chairman of the seminar.
Chromosomes are the parts of
cells that carry genes, an
animal’s genetic blueprint.
Both men have been charged
with unauthorized use of a
motor vehicle (auto theft).
The two were arraigned
before Justice of the Peace Bill
Bauman late Monday af-
ternoon.
Bauman set bond on Lennon
at $1,000 on the charge of DWI
but did not set bond on the
charge of unauthorized use of a
motor vehicle.
Bishop notified deputies late
Monday evening that he would
sign extradition papers so that
he could be returned to Kansas
to face charges there.
Bauman set bond on Bishop at
$25,000 on a fugitive complaint
from Kansas that included
unlawful possession of a
firearm by a convicted felon,
failure to appear and in-
voluntary manslaughter
charges and a bond of $28.50 on
the public intoxication charge.
The local JP denied bond on
the state parole violation
charge against Bishop.
