Screening of blood could begin in six months, Brandt said, but it is uncertain whether blood donations or donors themselves would be tested for evidence of exposure to the virus.
The newly discovered virus is named HTLVIII, for human T-cell lymphotrophic virus, a member of the retrovirus family, which has been under suspicion as a cause of AIDS since last
The virus was isolated by Dr. Ronallo, head of the National Cancer Institute's tumor cell biology laboratory. Gallo and other teams developed a technique for isolating, detecting and growing the virus. Their papers will appear in the April 23 edition of the journal Science.
Two other types of HTLV virus had been described previously. The first, HTLV-I, was related to AIDS last year by Gallo and had been considered of AIDS research in the United States since.

William Kepel, arguing for the students, said that the regulations "substitute a presumption of innocence" in the case.
students who inadvertently failed to register.
HE ATTACKED THE regulations by arguing that they were an example of "the increasingly pervasive reach of government" that could result in demanding "citizens to swear or certify that they have not committed any crimes" to receive any economic benefit from the govern-
Chief Justice Warren Burger asked Kepel whether the regulations were analogous to other laws under which people who failed to repay loans could be denied federal economic benefits.
"The repayment of the loan," Keppel responded, "is not a crime. The failure to register is a crime, punishable by a fine and up to five years in jail."
To date, however, the Justice Department has brought only 16 indictments for nonregistration.
Lee noted that late registrants became eligible for aid as soon as they certified that they had registered and that the government did not prosecute late registrants.

But Kepel said that students who belatedly complied with registration laws to receive aid were not granted immunity and could be prosecuted in the future.
But Lee said that since the rules linking student aid to draft registration had begun, the number of young men who had failed to register had dropped from more than 700,000 — or 7 percent — to around 350,000 — or about 3.1 percent.

St. James's Square sent a message to Khadafy saying that they were ready to die for their cause.
Occupants of the building told London reporters by telephone that they would leave the building by the midnight Sunday deadline set by the British government.
But The Times of London reported in today's editions that there was a "fierce dispute" between Libyan hardliners wanting to remain in building and moderates insistent that they leave.
The Times, quoting an Arabic-speaking source with contact inside the embassy, said some would like to come out today but hardliners want to remain under direct orders from the embassy.
Tripoli's governing Revolutionary Committees accused Britain of protecting Libyan "criminals" who they say attacked the London
embassy April 18 and said, "If Britain does not surrender the criminals it harbors (Libya) will take revolutionary action against it."
It also threatened a step-up in aid to the IRA.
Britain says at least one of the estimated 30 to 50 people inside the Libyan Embassy fired a machine-gun burst that killed the policewoman and wounded 11 anti-Khadfly demonstrators.
The British government asked Italy to look after British interests in Libya and the safety of its citizens.
IN ANNOUNCING THAT it was breaking relations with Libya Sunday, Britain said the Libyans inside the embassy would be expelled from Britain even though it would probably mean the killer of policewoman Yvonne Fletcher would go free.
News reports said rank-and-file police officers were "seething with anger" over the decision to let the killer go.

Student wants to force referendum on GLSOK
A KU student who in the past has sponsored petitions opposing Student Senate financing for Gay and Lesbian Services said yesterday that he would push to force the issue to a referendum vote by KU students.
He also said that he was just 300 signatures shy of the 2,300 required to force a referendum.
But Steve Imber, the sponsor, said he was not sure when the issue would go before students because of ambiguities in Senate Rules and Regulations.
If the petitions are valid and have enough signatures, the issue will go automatically to a referendum. A referendum is not subject to Senate approval.
IMBER INTITIATED the petition drive in support of the Senate Finance Committee's recent recommendation to refuse financing for GULSOK
But confusion has arisen about whether the referendum would be called this semester or in the fall semester. Imber said he also did not know if the referendum could spring be used to force a fall referendum.
Caryl Smith, dean of student life and Senate advisor, said that the referendum probably would be called in the fall because this semester was almost over.
However, at Wednesday's Senate meeting,
Senators rejected the committee's recommendation
and gave tentative approval to a $505
allocation for the group.
Imber said he hoped to secure the necessary 2,300 signatures this week.
"I decided to push the petition into a referendum because of the actions of the Senate," he said, "and because of the support of the people who sipped the petition."
Imber asked the Senate last week not to allocate money to GLSOK because his petitions showed that many students thought the organization could support itself with revenue from its dances.
Imber said that Senate Rules and Regulations were unclear about referendum votes. The rules say that the petitions are deemed valid by the Senate Elections Committee, the referendum must be voted on within four weeks of the committee's approval, unless a general election is scheduled for within six weeks of the committee's approval. In that case, the referendum would be included on the general election ballot.
However, with the end of the school year so near, the rules are not clear because they do not make a distinction between calendar weeks and academic weeks, he said.
Tom Davidson, chairman of the Elections Committee, said he had not appointed a committee because of this year's late student body presidential election and because he had not been appointed until two weeks ago.
The Senate Ethics and Morals Committee, a special committee recently formed by Student Body President Carla Vogel, will discuss the university issue at a meeting today, Davidson said.
