The Associated Press CHICAGO — For more than a year, Santos and Blanca Lopez have searched in vain for bone-marrow lesions. "Who is driving of a rare brain disorder?" Doctors say Michael Lopez probably won't trecover - helias in a nursing home, home, deaf, deaf and fed through a tube. And the couple's 2-year-old son, Kevin, was diagnosed with the same disease in January. The family's unsuccessful campaign dramatizes the difficulty Hispanics and other minorities face finding bone-marrow donors. Such a common among leukemia patients but also are used to treat other diseases. According to the 1991 World Almanac, whites account for 84 percent of the U.S. population, African- ian whites account for 12 percent and Hispanics for 46 percent. About 20 percent of white patients in need of a donor find one, compared to 12 percent of Hispanics, 4 percent of African-Americans and 1 percent of Asian-Americans, said Dr. Paul Gillis, a professor at the National Bone Marrow Program at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. said 779 of 812 transplant recipients since December 1987 were white. "I get upset sometimes because I think things would be different if people cared more." Blanca Lopez said that people don't care. It might be fear." A bone marrow transplant requires a much more precise genetic match than a blood transfusion or kidney transplant. The chance of a match is better among donors and patients of the same race. The National Marrow Donor Program, the nation's largest registry. About 10,000 U.S. citizens need the transplants, he said. Kevin has yet to suffer the horrors plaguing Michael: blindness, deafness, an inability to walk and difficulty swallowing. The Lopez children have adrenal leukodystrophy, a hereditary disease that makes the body unable to break down osteoporosis tissue (Angene Schnitler, who is treating them. Friends of Kevin Lopez, a volunteer group headed by the owner of a Chicago T-shirt store, Matthew Allschuler, conducted several donor drives in the Chicago area. Hundreds of people have been tested, but none has matched. Kevin appeared on a Spanish-language TV station and 20,000 filers were distributed in Hispanic neighborhoods to test potential donors at a high school. "Hardly anyone showed up, maybe 120 people." Alschuler said, "I don't know what it is. (Hispanic) are just a hard group to reach." A federal fund for minority testing largely defrays the cost of tissue-testing, which runs $50 to $65 for each volunteer. The U.S. government and a private insurer pay the boys' medical bills. Liz Quam, representative for the Minneapolis-based National Marrow Donor Program, said educational programs in the past were lacking. The number of minority volunteers has increased dramatically since a nationwide educational campaign began last year, she said. Still, 72 percent of the program's 406,379 volunteers are white. 5.4 percent are Asian American. 3.4 percent are Hispanic and 0.7 percent are American Indian. The campaign targets minority communities with TV and radio announcements as well as speeches at churches and colleges. Blanca Lopez, 20, is a data operator for an insurance company in South Barrington. Her 32-year-old husband is a company that makes car sealants. Of their tragedy, Blanca Lopezsaid, "sometimes it's so big you can't believe it' shapping." Furor about NEA grants sprouts again The Associated Press Frohnmayr, the NEA chairperson, vetoed tax-paid grants in June 1990 for controversial performance artist Karen Finley, who uses the food in her art, and three other avant-garde stage performers. WASHINGTON — Was John E. Frohmayer pondering the artistic merits of bean sprouts and chocolate, or was he worrying that they might provoke another political assault on the National Endowment for the Arts? The vetoes were made on artistic grounds, Frohnmayer's representativesaid. The American Civil Liberties Union says Frohnauer violated the artists' free-speech rights by rejecting their applications for political reasons. ACLU lawyers Tuesday released a batch of confidential NEA documents they obtained after a lengthy tug of war with the Justice Department. The documents surfaced during preparations for a long-delay trial in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, where the four performers - Finley, Lee, Fletcher and John Fleck - filed a lawsuit challenging Frohmave's decision. Among the documents was the trans- Among the documents was the trans- of a closed meeting of the National Council on the Arts, the NEA's presidentially appointed advisory body in May 1990, when the four controversial grants were debated. According to the transcript, Frohmayer said, "Karen Inley inserts vegetables in her orifices...and fruits in their soil" from corn and uses bean sprouts for sperm." The NEA chairperson also cited a performance in which Fleck faced the audience and urinated on the stage. Citing comments taken from the closed meeting, the ACU claims Prohmayer's decision to deny funding was made not for artistic reasons but because he was afraid of backlash from NEA critics. NEA representative Jill Collins said the the NEA would prove the funding denial was justified. Finney plans meeting with Kickapoo Indians to discuss casino gambling on reservation The Associated Press The meeting, which will take place at 1:15 p.m. in the governor's office, is for informational purposes, Martha Walker, Finney's press secretary, said yesterday. TOPEKA — Gov. Joan Finney and Steve Cade, Kickapoo Indian tribal chairperson, are scheduled to meet here Monday to discuss the "tribe's plan to launch a gambling on its reservation 40 miles north of Topkea." However, it could lead to negotiations on a compact between the state and the tribe. The compact would set conditions under which the gambling enterprises would cooperate across the tribes may want to contract for with the state. “It’s the first opportunity for her to sit down, listen to their proposal and see what they envision doing up there,” Walker said. “It should’t be interpreted that the state is involved in any way. The federal law requires that there be an agreement, and that’s why she is listening.” tribe is required to negotiate a gambling compact with the state, but the state cannot block the proposal. That is because a 1986 constitutional amendment granted by voters permits casino gambling in Kansas. Under the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, the As a result of the 1986 amendment, the Legislature has created a state lottery and legalized pari-mutuel wagering on horse and dog racing, but has not approved casino-type gambling. Bill McCormick, Finney's director of federal and state affairs, said the 1988 federal act required the state to negotiate some kind of compact with the state that they could conduct gambling on their reservation. McCormick said Finney had not taken a position on having casino gambling on the Indian reserva- "Iasked her what she felt about it and she said it if was good for the state, it would be all right," McCormick said. "We'll see how it plays out. We'll see what they propose and go from there." McCormick and the tribe sattorney will meet with Finney and Cadue, and may begin negotiating a gambling compact between the state and the triba government. M. Cormick said federal law allowed Indian tribal governments to operate Class I, II and III gambling, which includes casino-type gambling operations, on behalf of the tribes in any other organization or entity in the state to do it. Because the state is allowed to operate casinos, if it chooses, federal law gives the Indian tribe authority to do it, so said Lance Burr, a Lawrence lawyer who is attorney general for the Kickaoo Nation. Burr said the Kickapoos expected acasino to bring more jobs to their reservation and to neighboring communities. He said that a casine would lead to restaurants, hotels and limousine services. "It will be a tremendous benefit for northeast Kansas," Burr said. He also said gambling 'is no longer the evil, sinister business it used to be.' A casino at the reservation would be heavily regulated to keep out the criminal element, Burr said. Study says cocaine babies costing $500 million a year to treat The Associated Press Compared with non-cocaine newborns, babies exposed to the drug in the womb required hospitalizations that were four days longer on average ($2,610 more), according to the study of hundreds of New York infants. CHICAGO — More than $500 million is spent each year to treat cocaine babies, according to a study published yesterday. Researchers said much of that could be saved by providing drug treatment for expectant mothers. The nation's cocaine-exposed infants ran up an estimated $504 mil lion in hospital costs, said the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. That figure was based on an estimate by the National Institute on Drug Abuse that 158,400 cocaine babies were born last year. The $504 million figure does not include doctors' fees, later medical bursal or special therapy or schooling, said Dr. Ira J. Chasonoff, president of the National Association for Perinatal Addiction Research and Education. No one knows how much the extra costs would total, said Ciaran S. Phibbs, a health economist who directed the research while at Columbia University School of Public Health in New York and at the University of California at San Francisco. - Locaine exposure in the womb can cause premature birth, retarded physical growth, learning disabilities and very low birth weight, Chasnoff Very low birth weight, less than 3.28 pounds, makes newborns much more prone to breathing difficulties, bleediness, problems, blindness and sudden death. Forty percent of cocaine-using expectant women can get off the drug with treatment that averages $5,000 to $7,000 in costs (offspring), who was not involved in the study. "Three days in the neonatal intensive care unit is going to make up for that (cost) right there," he said. Researchers concluded that cocaine-exposed infants were 50 percent more likely than unexposed babies to require intensive care and more than twice as likely to have very low birth weight. Phibbs said a small number of babies exposed to cocaine in the womb developed medical problems. Subjects for the study, conducted at Harlem Hospital in New York City in 1883 and 1884, 1885 newborns who were exposed to the bromide and 199 infants who had not.
