the N 40 cents Ukraine: Not fooling on U.K.goldmine Jkidkii: July 2.'>.I!)!)() GENEVA i Keutert The Soviet republic of Ukraine said Tuesday that it’s serious about trying to re trieve gold it claims was deposited by a military man in the Bank of England 270 years ago, a cache which one Ukrainian legislator says could be worth $29 trillion US.“Don't anybody consider this a legend," Gennady Oudovenko.the Ukrainian ambassador to the United Nations, told a news conference.“This is not a legend This is reality.” What we need are documents, and Her Majesty’s government (in London) is in possession of these documents." Oudovenko said Ducking a question on how many ounces were supposed to have been deposited, he said jokingly: “We are afraid to tell you.because we don't want to shake Her Majesty's government." But he added: “We are very se rious in this claim.I have a number of ideas about how to demand the return of this property belonging to the Ukrainian people But the Bank of England said a search of old records failed to lo cate the gold and that it was relie ved to find out it did not owe $29 trillion “It's a fairly daunting sum six times the gross domestic product of the United States but we have checked and there's absolutely no record of the gold," Bank of En gland spokesman John Matheson said in lAiudon Ukrainian legislator Vladimir Yavorisvky estimated that the gold w ould lie worth an astonishing $29 trillion if accrued interest were applied to current gold prices The official price is about $369 US an ounce Yavorivsky told the Ukrainian parliament Saturday that claims had been launched for the return of the gold A lucky escape.m An elderly woman was lucky lo escape with minor injuries a fter her car was hit by a dumptruck Tuesday in the parking lot of Les Terrasses Rack

Laurier-Ste-Marie, will have to do without the help of the provincial New Democrats.Michel Parenteau, head of NDP Quebec, said Tuesday that O’Neill should withdraw rather than harm the candidacy of Gilles Duceppe w'ho— like O’Neill — backs Quebec sovereignty.Duceppe is an independent candidate who is endorsed by Lucien Bouchard, the former federal environment minister who quit the Tories so he could better promote a sovereign Quebec.While O'Neill supports Quebec sovereignty, she feels she can do so within the federal NDP.But the party’s provincial wing, which split form the federal party more than a year ago.disagrees Eric Darien, a spokesman for O'Neill, said she has no intention of dropping out of the race.“We still have a very good chance of winning this byelection.'' he said.The byelection is to fill the vacancy left by the death of longtime Liberal MP Jean-Claude Male part.Forces: Reserve role to grow?CALGARY (CP) — Reserve forces in Canada and other NATO countries will have more important roles as full-time forces are reduced, say military leaders.“A proper mix of reservists and full-time regular force members will give us the best return for our money — obviously an important factor in these times of tight bud gets,” said Mary Collins, Canada's associate defence minister Collins was speaking at a North Atlantic Treaty Organization reserve conference Monday.Canada is increasing its reserves to 43,000 from 25,000, while reducing full-time members to 83,500 from 87,000.Reservists are civilians who take military training part time and are called upon in emergencies.Collins said training and equipment for the militia would improve and disparities in working conditions and pay scales between regu-lars and reserves would be dropped.The chill may be off

lawyer well-known for his work with native groups and David Crombie.a former Conservative minister of Indian affairs ILL-ADVISED Mercredi described Swain’s comments as inflammatory, irresponsible and ill advised "I take the deputy minister’s comments as an effort to turn Canadian public opinion against the Indian people in Kanesatake and Kahnawake,” said Mercredi.He said the federal government should be more worried about negotiating an immediate settlement to the tense standoff than whether some of the Warriors have criminal pasts.“The crisis is far too serious to go there with a puritanical attitude before you will sit down to negotiate with people.” he said "It’s in everybody's interest that we don’t get involved in playing games as to whether or not a person has clean hands ” Mercredi said Swain shouldn't be involved further in the Oka dispute, but he wouldn’t call for Swain to be fired, as Skelly did Axworthy said he blamed Siddon more than his deputy for the assertions made "without any evidence "To use Mr.Swain as a sacrifi cial lamb on this issue would be wrong,” said Axworthy He said the issue at Oka is not whether any of the Warriors are criminals."The issue is a lack of trust that is growing between native people and the government of Canada "1 resent the attempts by the government to paint this as an armed insurrection when they could have resolved it much earlier if they had responded with a mediator and ne gotiations ” "The deputy minister has shown himself ignorant and insensitive of the situation and what the situation requires," said Bob Skelly.the New Democrat aboriginal affairs critic.Skelly said Mulroney should ask Brian Dickson, the former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Ca nada, to mediate a settlement to the armed confrontation.Micmacs: Salmon nets are out RESTIGOUCHE, Que.(CP) — Quebec's fishing regulations are being challenged by the Micmac band on the Restigouche reserve on the Quebec-New Brunswick border at the foot of the Gaspé peninsula.Chief Ronald Jacques says the Micmacs are fishing in defiance of non native law to reaffirm their aboriginal rights.They also want to get enough salmon to celebrate the feast of St.Anne's, the band's patron saint, later this week, Jacques said He said the natives will only fish for two days.Jacques said the fact that Micmacs, using gill nets, are fishing salmon out of season has nothing to ao wan the standoff between Mohawks and provincial police at Oka and Kahnawake near Montreal."Every reserve has their own problems and their dissatisfaction.” he said."At this point in time with us, it does not come down to what is going down in Oka.” In 1981, when the then-Parti Québécois government sent in hundreds of armed provincial police with tear gas, helicopters and armored boats, Micmacs negotiated an agreement setting annual limits on the number of salmon caught and have continued to do ever since.They reached their quota for this year several weeks ago and then RED CROSS: respected their promise to stop fishing.Alain Clouthier.an aide to Gaston Blackburn, Quebec minister of recreation, fish and game, said in an interview Tuesday the provincial government was watching the situation closely.“It is important to the minister that the agreement on fishing quotas be respected," said Clouthier.‘‘We understand the Micmac action is largely symbolic and they appear to be fishing mainly on the New Brunswick side of the Restigouche River."A senior official has been ordered to keep the situation under his constant observation and make regular

barricades at Oka and the Mercier Bridge on the Kahnawake reserve south of Mon treal.as armed criminals who don't have the support of the Mo hawk community.Indian Affairs MinisterTom Sid don said he did not agree with the statement.PLAN CARAVAN On Tuesday, the Assembly of First Nations said it is organizing a "peace and justice caravan" that is expected to arrive in Oka on Sun day.to emphasize the need for a peaceful resolution to the standoff As many as 10,000 natives and non natives from across Canada are expected to take part, said Ovide Mercredi, Manitoba regional chief of the assembly Speaking in Ottawa, he said the group would take food and essen Hal supplies to the Oka Mohawks but does not plan to challenge the barricades.In Belleville, Ont , about 400 Bay of Quinte Mohawks marched through town to back calls for federal intervention to end the confrontation.Lyle Vanclief, the Liberal MP for Prince Edward-Hastings, who belongs to a caucus committee on Indian affairs, told the protesters the committee will "put pressure on the federal government and Prime Minister (Brian Mulroney) to listen and to act.” In Regina, a group of about 15 native protesters took over federal Indian Affairs offices in sympathy with the Oka Mohawks.Peter Gilmer, a spokesman for the protesters, said they hope the occupation will spark provincewide action by Saskatchewan Indians to support the Oka Mohawks.STAGE PROTEST About a dozen Indians staged a sit in Tuesday in the hallway out side Siddon’s constituency office in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond.B.C.Calling themselves the Vancouver Indian Support Action Group, they said they were staging the protest in support of the Oka Mohawks The Mohawks have also taken their case to the international scene.MONTREAL (CP) - The Montreal police investigation into the shooting death two weeks ago near Oka of Quebec Police Force corporal Marcel Lemay is still under way, Cst.Angèle Joyal said Tuesday."As part of the investigation, it would be normal to inspect the scene of death," said Joyal, a Montreal Urban Community police official "Given the current state of affairs in the Oka area, it has not been possible for our officers to visit the scene of death.” Joyal said the investigation may continue for some time.Lemay was shot during a gun-fight between QPF and Mohawk Warriors in the woods near Oka, which are currently controlled by the natives.It is normal practice in Quebec, when a police officer is killed, to have the death investigated by a different police force.MUC POLICE Joyal said Montreal police were asked to conduct the investigation July 11, the day that Lemay was shot and killed as provincial police staged a raid and attempted to remove Mohawk barricades.The barricades were set up in March to block the expansion of a golf course on to land claimed by the Mohawks.The investigation request was made by Jacques Beaudoin, the province’s deputy minister of public security.An autopsy of the corporal has been completed, Joyal said, but no details have been released.She would not comment on published reports that Lemay had not been shot with a police bullet.Montreal La Presse and Le JournaUHe Montréal reported last week that Lemay was killed with a US-made .223 calibre bullet.QPF issue bullets of this calibre have full metal jackets which do not shatter on impact.The bullet which killed the corporal was reported to be a different type.Medics: Leave it to the Bonspeils OK A With noemti at-inne iw .rx t i OKA (CP)—-With negotiations in the armed conflict between armed Mohawks and police stalled, Ro nald Bonspiel, the Mohawk “medic" or ambulance technician at Kanesatake, and his son Robert, 19, decided to act on their own.Spokesmen said Monday that Kanesatake was down to its last dose of insulin and a single bottle of aspirin.And after an expected visit by the Red Cross di not occur because the organization did not get written assurances of safety, Ronald Bonspiel

bridge into Montreal by armed Mohawks could last for months or even years, a native leader said at a meeting of Ontario chiefs Tuesday “That is somewhat disheartening but the Mohawk resolve is there and it could last for years if it had to," said Terry Doxtator, chief of the Oneida Turtle Clan, near London.Ont., who recently visited the barricade And standoffs similar to one at Oka could spread across Canada if the federal government doesn't intervene to settle land disputes with aboriginal bands, he said "I'm surprised .that ia land claim dispute) hadn't turned into an armed conflict before “My general feeling is that it can spread My gut feeling is that if the government doesn’t move on this right now.then yes, it will.” Doxtator said Tuesday blockades are "the only way we’ve found to force public opinion on the legislatures of this country" and that the Quebec standoffs have increased native pride.Native leaders at other Canadian reserves are prepared to take whatever measures necessary to protect their territories, said Gordon Peters.First Nations' Ontario regional chief."You'll see an uprising across this country like you’ve never seen before." he said.The leaders of 14 aboriginal nations who met in Thunder Bay on Tuesday say Harry Sw ain, federal deputy minister of Indian Affairs, should apologize or resign for cal Img the Mohawk Warriors ‘‘criminals" and saying they hijacked ne- gotiations.“They are trying to set a precedent that anyone who (defends native sovereignty) should be branded a terrorist," said Bill Montour, chief of the Six Nations’ Grand River reserve near Brantford.The chiefs are meeting in the Northern Ontario city of Thunder Bay until Friday.Meanwhile in Fredericton two New Brunswick native leaders expressed concern Tuesday over who is calling the shots for Mohawks involved in an armed standoff with Quebec police.Ron Perley, president of the Union of New Brunswick Indians, said the elected band council at Oka has not been heard from

ginning to gel varicose veins My mother and grandmother both have them How can 1 keep them from get ting progressively worse'’ Is there a surgical procedure to alleviate the condition- DEAR READER Varicose veins seem to be inherited Evidently, some defect in the supporting tissues in your legs permiLs the veins to balloon out and dilate You may be able to prevent progression by avoiding prolonged standing (don t become a traffic cop or a surgeon) and using elastic-support hose.If your varicose veins are mild, sheer elastic hose (such as Supphose) will help prevent the veins from dilat mg If your veins are quite swollen and unsightly, you'll need heavy-duty elastic stockings (such as Jobst) to provide more pressure.If these methods are ineffective, you may have to consider surgery, the veins could be “stripped' (removed) or “sclerosed” (injected with a caustic solution) to shrink them Recently, there's been a lot of interest in laser therapy for varicose veins.The method is safe and shows promise but until recently has been available only in large medical centers.DEAR DR GOTT My doctor has recently put me on Prinivil and Lozol for high blood pressure.What exactly do these medications do, and what a-e the possible side effects"’ DEAR READER I’rinivil (lismo-pril) is a new drug for the treatment of hypertension It is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, meaning it blocks the formation of an en zyme that raises blood pressure Therefore, it is remarkably free of side effects because, unlike many oth er types of blood-pressure lowering drugs, it does not affect the body's organs I’rinivil has two further advantages It doesn't cause a change in heart rate, and it can be taken once a day.The major side effects are dizziness, fatigue, fluid retention, cough and mild slowing of kidney function It must be used cautiously in patients taking lithium (a treatment for mood disorder) because Prinivil may contribute to lithium toxicity.Lozol (indapamide) is also a new drug for hypertension It reduces contraction of arteries, thereby lowering blood pressure It doesn't affect the heart, nor does it decrease kidney function It can be taken once a day Side effects include drowsiness, lightheadedness, fatigue, constipation.cramps, urinary frequency and rash Both I’rinivil and Lozol.alone or in combination, are appropriate therapy for hypertension To obtain more information about the medicines, you and your doctor should discuss the effects and potential complications of the drugs In addition.I am sending you free copies of my

scientists continue to hunt for revolutionary cures for disease because of the challenge of discovery and the hope of finally finding antidotes for many of mankind's ailments.According to Fran Pollner, who wrote the cover story in the April 23,1990, issue of Medical World News, researchers are on the verge of identifying several new medicines that will completely change the way doctors treat disease.• A substance called bat plasminogen-activator has recently been isolated from the saliva of vampire bats.It is still in the developmental stage but shows promise in treating blood clots and heart attacks because, as well as being an effective anti-coagulant, it dissolves blood clots before they can cause harm.• As an adjunct to anti-coagulation, experimental drugs, which reduce tissue damage from blood clots, are also being tested.Called lazaroids or superoxide dismutases, these compounds prevent destruction of cells that are temporarily deprived of oxygen.One day, they may become standard therapy for heart attacks, spinal injury and stroke.• Additional tissue-salvaging substances, called complement-blockage proteins, are currently being tested in animals.They appear to protect against damage caused by white blood corpuscles (neutrophils) that scavenge and destroy cells weakened by oxygen-deprivation, such as occurs in lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, two common autoimmune (self-allergy) diseases, and in arteriosclerosis.Testing for humans is scheduled to begin next year.• Investigators at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute are experimenting with organoids, synthetic materials to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and nerves.At present, the most promising organoid consists of Gore-Tex fibers impregnated with a growth factor that has actually been used successfully in animals to promote new growth of tissues.This step may be the first hurdle in developing methods for organ regeneration • About 10 years ago, scientists at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., purified a substance, called atrial natriuretic factor, that is natu rally produced by cardiac muscle.ANF is released in response to increased body water; it causes the kid neys to excrete unneeded extra salt and water, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing cardiac work Research chemists are currently attempting to develop a drug that prevents the normal dénaturation of ANF; such a compound would be an invaluable treatment for hypertension and heart failure because it would allow the body's natural antidote to act unimpeded • Other scientists at the State University of New York at Syracuse have hypothesized that certain cases of hypertension may be caused by malfunction of the immune system.By administering interleukin-2, an immune-enhancer, they discovered that hypertensive rats were cured of their high blood pressure after a single injection of the substance.Many years will elapse, however, before IL-2 will be tested in humans.• Aloftg the same lines, drug company scientists are experimenting with interleukin-1, a drug similar to IL-2 They have shown in animals that a substance to block interleukin-1 may halt joint inflammation and bone destruction from arthritis.Trials to test the substance in arthritic humans are to begin later this year.Also, researchers are working on developing antibody medicine to the T-cell antigen receptor, which distinguishes normal tissue from foreign material in the body.If such an antibody were to be manufactured, it would revolutionize the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.Clinical trials are scheduled in about two years.• Gene therapy, a technique of delivering chemotherapy to specific cancer cells, is already being tested in several medical centers Scientists hope to be able to supply lost, naturally occurring tumor suppressors — or to develop methods of deactivating oncogenes (cancer stimulants).If successful, this technique would supersede radiation, surgery and chemotherapy for the treatment of cancer This is just a smattering of the exciting research being carried out by dedicated men and women who believe that with hard work and commitment, modern medicine is close to discovering the most fundamental mysteries of human disease and its treatment Someday, we ll owe these researchers an enormous debt of gratitude.Physical therapy helps chronic pain By Peter H, Gott, M.D.DEAR DR GOTT My wife was di agnosed one year ago with reflex sympathetic dystrophy in her left arm and on the left side of her face The symptoms appeared immediately after gallbladder surgery.She's been receiving treatment in a pain-control center of a teaching hospital usually nerve blocks and oral medication Nothing seems to work What can you tell us about this disease that will help us find further treatment or a support group that can allow her to live with chronic pain"’ DEAR READER Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is an unusual neurological affliction following injury to bone or soft tissues, marked by pain, sweating and vascular flushing over a part of the body, The cause is believed to bo reflex injury to autonomic nerves (those not under conscious control) USD may progress to shriveling of affected muscles, stiff joints and loss of hair Because the relation between the injury and the pain is often unclear, treatment is difficult Nerve blocks and analgesics often help, but some patients are resistant to most therapy.Your wife could be helped by physical therapy (to prevent weakness and joint contractures), acupuncture or hypnosis.She should ask the staff at the pain clinic for advice about support groups in your community To give you more information.I am sending you a free copy of my
