Officials give AIDS warning
By United Press International
ATLANTA — As many as 1 million Americans already may have been infected with the deadly AIDS virus, and a nationwide immunization program necessary once a vaccine is developed, several health officials said yesterday.
Dr. James W. Curran, head of the National Centers for Disease Control's AIDS Task Force, also said there was evidence the AIDS virus was persistent and an infection may last a lifetime.
Further spread of the infection into the heterosexual population is inevitable. he said.
In addition, it has been shown that AIDS can be spread by casual household contact, at least in the African nation of Zaire. Curran said.
"AIDS will be a greater challenge in the future than it has been in the last four years," he warned.
CURRAN SPOKE AT the opening session of a three-day international conference on AIDS that attracted statistists from more than 30 countries.
AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, destroys the body's immune system. Its victims fall prey to a host of infections, including deadly forms of cancer and pneumonia. In this country, 9,405 cases have been diagnosed since 1981 with 4,533 deaths for a fatality rate of about 2 percent. Authorized 1,755 cases have been reported in 36 other countries.
But Curran said as many as 1 million Americans may have a latent infection. It is believed it takes up to
five years for AIDS symptoms to appear, he told the conference.
Groups at highest risk of the disease are homosexuals, drug abusers and hemophiliacs. But Curie's IMS and HSM are the heterosexual population as well.
Curran said scientists assumed a vaccine would be available by 1990 and suggested a widespread immunization program to initially vaccinate all Americans.
"The AIDS virus can be readily transmitted heterosexual as well as homosexual, and can increase heterosexual transmission in the United States is inevitable."
Margaret Heckler, Health and Human Services Secretary, said the federal government had committed almost $200 million to the battle against AIDS.
Smokers must refrain in L.A.
By United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Outside, the air in the Los Angeles basin was unhealthy to breathe. Inside, things were a little better yesterday as the city's tough new anti-smoking law took effect for the first full workday.
No one was hauled off to court, although that is now an option available to nonsmokers who feel smoking co-workers are not com- puted. Attorney's office were numerous, but they were mostly from people
wondering whether their offices were located within city limits.
"We've had some complains, but so far it's been a smooth transition." Deputy City Attorney Joelain Harkless said, "Employees and workers are coming in time that this was forthcoming and are complying, accommodating."
The law, which went into effect Saturday, prohibits smoking in elevators, medical facilities, restrooms and lunchrooms, and requires businesses with five or more employees to provide a smoke-free work area for those who want it.
The law covers fire trucks, police squad cars and most city government offices — except for the City of New York where the ordinance was enacted
Nonsmokers can have a smoker's desk moved and can demand that smokers be banned from their space. They may complain to their boss, the city attorney and — failing all else — they can go to court.
Individual violators are subject to fines between $50 and $100. Employers who fail to establish a smoking policy may be fined $50 fine, six months in jail, or both.

Defense group proposes cuts
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — A defense "think tank" said yesterday that the Pentagon is wasteful and inefficient and proposed cutting $300 billion from its budget by scrapping two of President Reagan's favorite weapons — the MX missile and the B-1B bomber.
The Committee for National Security, a non-profit and nonpartisan study organization, also proposed holding the Navy to 545
ships instead of the 600 the administration wants.
William Kaufman, a Harvard professor who assisted the group in producing the five-year proposal, acknowledged the plan and that its lengthy list of cuts faced a rough time in Congress, saying at a press conference, "I don't have high hopes Congress will follow this advice, but it's a perfectly plausible program."
The group, which said its plan would still keep the nation militarily strong, proposed total defense budget authority over the next five years of $1.7 trillion, about $284 billion under the administration's proposed $1.98 trillion spending level. The proposal calls for actual spending of $1.54 trillion against the administration's planned level of almost $1.75 trillion, with a savings of about $195 billion.
Paul Warnke, the group's chairman, said there were ways they could buy what was necessary for defense without causing trouble for the future.
Supremacists accused of murder
By United Press International
SEATTLE — Two dozen members of a white supremacist "hate group" killed two people and stole over $4 million in armored car loot to further their revolutionary plans. a 20-count racketeting indictment unsealed yesterday charged.
A federal grand jury, which met in secret for four months, accused the suspects of four armored car robberies and the slayings of Alan Berg, a liberal Denver radio talk show host, and Walter West, a former member of the Church of Idaho who disappeared under mysterious circumstances last year.
Church, an umbrella organization for rightist extremists.
The suspects were identified by the
members of The Order, an
offshore force, like the
The indictment included allegations that the neo-Nazis plotted to steal $30 million from a Brinks Co. vault in San Francisco.

GANG MEMBERS ALSO bombed an adult theater in Seattle and a Jewish synagogue in Boise, Idaho, last year, authorities said.
"A warning message is buried in this indictment," Bill Baker, an assistant FBI director, said at a news conference announcing the charging of 24 suspects, most of whom are in custody in various states.
Several members of the group were charged in the 93-page indictment with the attempted murders of FBI agents during shootouts last winter in Portland, Ore., and in December in Whidbey Island in Puget Sound.
"If a person on the fringe of a hate group thinks that he is only minimally involved, then that person should take another look."
Baker said, "When you have hate groups and groups espousing bigotry that cross from the threshold of rhetoric to the commission of violent acts ... our response has been rapid and effective."
U. S. Attorney Gene Anderson said the investigation is continuing but declared, "I believe it (The Order) to be neutralized."
