Inventories show growth as sales fall, figures show
WASHINGTON - Inventories grew 0.8 percent in August as sales fell, the Commerce Department said yesterday, but analysts said the stockpiling is not extensive enough by itself to force a severe cutback in production.
Manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers added another $4.6 billion worth of goods to inventories in August as overall dropped 0.2 percent, the department said.
Inventories also increased 0.8 percent in July, when sales were down 0.6 percent.
TV networks to cut employees
NEW YORK — The three television networks plan to dismiss more than 150 people from their editorial staffs to reduce costs and increase profits and efficiency.
CBS News will lay off up to 10 people.
ABC more than 50 and perhaps 70, and NBC 86, the paper said. CBS has purged its staff, but the network is still 82%, losing off more than 40 employees.
ABC expects to eliminate at least eight correspondents in cutbacks that will affect London, Chicago and Washington, an ABC network. The network is opening a Denver bureau.
Memorial almost causes death
JAMESTOWN, R.I. — A man scattering his wife's ashes into the sea where they once dived and wondered at the ocean's power nearly lost his own life during the private memorial when he was swept into the water by a huge wave.
But Richard Therrien, 50, of Norwich,
Conn., was alive yesterday thanks to the quick action of two unidentified bystanders who pulled him from the crashing surf churned up by Hurricane Josephine in the Atlantic.
Therrien said he was smashed against the rocks at Beaertail Point after scattering the ashes of his wife, Gloria, who died July 27.
Camps proposed for homeless
NEW YORK — A city councilman yesterday proposed housing homeless families in large trailer camps to be located in "bombed out" sections of the city like the South Bronx.
Councilman Jerome O'Donovan of Staten Island said the camps would be better places to live than the hotels and motels on the island. 3,000 homeless families are now housed
The councilman said such a camp might be put in the "bombed out area of the South Bronx" or other "burned out" areas of the city. He is opposed to building such a facility on Staten Island.

Disney offers new contract for workers
By United Press International
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Threatened with a nationwide union boycott, Disney officials came up with another contract offer and reached a tentative agreement with strikers to end the three-week walkout.
Striking workers held their picket lines around the Magic Kingdom yesterday, the eve of voting on the tentative settlement.
Leaders of five striking Disneyland unions urged the 1,800 staffing employees, who walked off the job Sept. 25, to ratify management's latest contract offer during balloting today.
"Throughout the strike, both sides have remained devoted to the ideals of (perk founder) Walt Disney." Disneyland spokesman Al Flores said. "In the end, I think that bond will be the element that brings us back together."
The strike escalated last week, starting with the arrest last Monday of six labor officials outside the park's main entrance and culminating Saturday with dozens of union leaders taking the strike into the heart of the park for the first time. Officials from both groups met with cartoon characters Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck on their way in the park.
Federal mediator Bonnie Castrey called both parties back to the bargaining table early Sunday afternoon, emerging nine hours later to announce a tentative agreement had been reached.
The federal mediator, Disneyland officials and union leaders refused to discuss details of the agreement.
The three-year contract offer last rejected by union employees Sept. 24 — in a lopsided vote that authorized the strike — called for a two-year freeze.
But union officials have said repeatedly they were more concerned with other proposed changes that included a loss of benefits to some future employees.
Labor leaders have accused Disneyland in recent days of "union busting," and said the loss of benefits being proposed would ultimately weaken their unions by creating two classes of employees.
"We are very happy this morning," union spokesman Bob Bieleweiss said. "The strike was indeed hitting Disneyland. It was clearly intensifying.
CAMBRIDGE, England — Cesar Milstein and his wife, Celia, at their home. The Karolinska Institute yesterday cited Mils celebrate his winning a share of the Nobel Prize in Medicine tein and two other scientists for their work in immunology.
Nobel Prize awarded for study of immune system
"They couldn't have enjoyed seeing us inside the park Saturday. They must have believed our sincerse assertion that it was only just the beginning."
By United Press International
The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced today, followed by Physics and Chemistry tomorrow and the Economics award on Thursday.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Three scientists who studied the mysteries of the body's disease defenses won the 1984 Nobel Prize in Medicine yesterday for research that could produce a "magic bullet" for cancer treatment.
Their work "opened up completely new fields of biomedical research and allows precise diagnosis and also treatment of disease," said the citation by the institute, which has named the Nobel Medicine awards since the prize was established in 1901.
MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES are proteins made in the laboratory to seek out specific cells in the body with far more activity, accomplished by the body's own antibodies.
The prestigious $190,000 award was shared by Niels Jerome, a British-born Dane hailed as "the great theoretician in immunology." Georges Kohler of West Germany and Cesar Milstein of Argentina, who proved Jerome's theories.
"the principle for production of monoclonal antibodies."
SCIENTISTS, FOR EXAMPLE, are developing ways to use monoclonal antibodies to carry powerful anti-cancer drugs to cancerous cells without harming healthy neighboring cells, like a "magic bullet" seeking out and attacking malignant cells throughout the body.
Nobel Committee head David Otton told a news conference that the scientists' development of monoclonal antibodies was the important tool not only in the present use but promised future treatment in various areas, including viral and cancer diseases.
News of the award stunned the winners.
Their work already has improved cancer treatment and is being used to diagnose AIDS, the usually fatal acquired immune deficiency syndrome that affects mainly homosexual males $ ^{10} $ [43-46]
News of the award Stunned the whitters.
“Are you sure? This is fantastic, it’s unbelievable.” Kohler, 38, said when he was told of the award by United Press International in Basel, Switzerland, where he is a member of the Institute for Immunology.
The three scientists were cited by the Karolinska Institute for theories concerning "the specificity in development and control of the immune system" and the discovery of
"The first thing I am going to do now is take a break. This has got to sink in. I've got to sit down and I'll call my wife," he said.
MILSTEIN, 57. WHO holds British and Argentine citizenship and works at the Molecular Biology Lab of the Medical Research Council at Cambridge University, called the award a scientist's "dream."
