19, 1985 A9 Duke researchers claim new drug may check AIDS DALLAS (AP) A thunderstorm that may have caused the crash of Delta Air Lines Flight 191 could have been spotted and avoided before the jetliner crashed at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, radar records suggest. The records also confirm eyewitness reports that the Aug. 2 storm struck suddenly, the Dallas Times Herald, which obtained and analyzed the National Weather Service tapes, reported Sunday. The L-1011 jumbo jet entered the storm and slammed into the ground short of the runway, killing 134 people. Wind shear, the violent change in wind direction created by some storms, i is suspected as a factor in the crash.
Witnesses and others interviewed by federal investigators say the storm turned deadly too fast for a timely warning and evasive action. But National Transportation Safety Board investigators are still probing whether the plane's radar or tower controllers who were told of the cloud formations could have warned of possible wind shears. The storm was first spotted 14 minutes before the crash, enough time for the pilot to take action, NTSB chief investigator Rudolf Kapustin said. The radar tape was obtained last week by the newspaper and analyzed with assistance from meteorologist Ross Dixon, vice president of Metracom, a weather consulting firm in Oklahoma City. Nixon, Graham attend service for Marriott KENSINGTON, Md.
(AP) About 2,500 people including former President Richard M. Nixon and the Rev. Billy Graham filled the Mormon Temple here Saturday to attend last rites for hotel magnate J. Willard Marriott Sr. Marriott, whose worldwide hotel chain sprang from a root beer stand, died Tuesday of a heart attack in Wolfeboro, N.H., near his summer home.
He was 84. Among those paying homage 1 to Marriott was movie cowboy Roy Rogers, whose name is group of Marriott-owned hamburger restaurants, Sen. Strom Thurmond, and Rep. Eldon Rudd, R- Ariz. Nixon, 73, said he had "benefited from (Marriott's) friendship and wise counsel for over 35 years." He said Marriott was "always thinking of others, not himself." Nixon praised Marriott's "contagious enthusiasm, his love of life of family of his fellow man." In 1927, Marriott and his wife, Alice, opened a nine-stool root beer stand.
His business grew to include the $3.5 billion Marriott a chain of hotels and restaurants as well as airline and institutional food services that has 140,000 employees.

Duke immunologists are testing a drug with the code name Drug S. The drug. which was developed by the Burroughs Wellcome Co. of Research Triangle Park, has been shown in test tubes to prevent the virus that causes AIDS from multiplying, researchers say. Fewer than 12.500 cases of AIDS have been reported nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.
But researchers estimate that 25.000 to 250,000 people have the disease, which takes from six months to five years to show its symptoms. Duke immunolgist Kent Weinhold said his department is starting a major research project on AIDS. with the main emphasis on produceing an AIDS vaccine. This research is being coordinated with the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Weinhold said. Duke also is serving as one of two testing sites for Drug S.
The other is the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Sandra Nusinoff Lehrman of Burroughs Wellcome said that 18 patients ultimately will 1 be tested with the drug, although only four patients are being tested now. The drug's effect on test -tube cultures of HTLV-III virus was discovered by researchers at Duke and NCI almost simultaneously in February, Weinhold said. Test on humans began in July, Lehrman said.
She said that' researchers will see whether humans can tolerate the drug before trying to gauge its effect on HT infections. If Drug does prevent HTLV-III from multiplying in humans, Lehrman: said, that does not necessarily mean it will cure tho disease. Wein- hold said even if Drug fulfills all the researchers' hopes, it may not help someone who already has AIDS. The AIDS virus works by crippling the immune system within the bloodstream, allowing other forms of disease to run rampant. Weinhold said.
If it proves to be effective. Drug could be used in the very early stage of an HTLV-III infection to kill the virus before it destroys the patient's immune system. Weinhold said. Duke is one of three North Carolina institutions doing AIDS 1 research. The others are the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Bowman Gray School of Medicine.
UNC researchers are probing HTLV-III's relationship to the Epstein-Barr virus, which causes mononucleosis and a form of cancer. At the Bowman Gray School of Medicine in Winsto researchers are doing projects. that are applicable to problems with the immune system, although none are directly related to AIDS, said Dr. Samuel Pegram, a specialist in 42 infectious diseases. The number of AIDS cases reported in the United States has grown from two in the first six months of 1979 to 3.087 in the first six months of this year.
A total of 12,408 cases have been reported. the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta says. In North Carolina, 59 AIDS cases and 37 deaths have been reported. which is the 20th highest total in the United States. From April 1 to July 28 of this year, the Red Cross in North Carolina detected 27 HTLV-III infections among 88.615 blood donors, which is roughly 0.3 percent.
