Cootroil l# ^ A stitch is fine but a zipper is quicker DEARABBY B y A b i g a i l V a n B u r e n ByCarlKorn United Press International TIMORE -- A stitch in time may save nine, but not after pancreas surgery, where a University of Maryland doctor has found a zipper is quicker and safer for the patient too.1 "A comical pipe dream has be­ come a beneficial reality. All of us have talked about zippers, but it was passed off as a Joke," Dr. H. Harlan Stone said Wednesday. Stone, the chief of surgery at Uni­ versity of Maryland Hospital, said he is the first in the United States to use a dipper on critically ill patients who have undergone pancreas surgery. By using a 7-inch polyester zipper -- the same type used on women's skirts -- instead of stitches, Stone said he can avoid repeated opera­ tions to change internal bandages. Hospital spokeswoman Joah Shnipper said there is a lot of bleed­ ing after pancreas surgery "and you need to put packing against the wound. You constantly have to re­ move it and put in fresh packing." Surgeons were forced to operate repeatedly to reopen the standard stitch wound, change the internal bandages, then restitch the wound in an hour-long operation under anesthesia. Stone said the repeated opera­ tions took their toll on critically ill patients, who recovered only 10 per­ cent of the time. Now Stone said he can unzip the patient, change the bandage, and zip the wound back up in a five- minute procedure without anesthe­ sia at the patient's bedside. The rate of recovery for patients with zippers has risen to 90 percent, Stone said. "It seems appropriate to use a zipper to allow us to change the packs without repeated opera­ tions," Stone said. "Its use has dra­ matically simplified a complex problem." Stone said he has installed the zippers, which were already in use by physicians in England, Germany and Belgium, on 28 pancreas sur­ gery patients at University Hospi­ tal. He said the zippers are used for five days to two weeks before they are removed. Power of love makes ugly engagement ring sparkle By Abigail Van Buren C 1WS by Universal Prat* Syndicate DEAR ABBY: You were way off base in your answer to "Confused in Queens" who "loved" the man, but hated the engagement ring her fiance had surprised her with. You said, "Tell him you love him and you know he wants to please you, so if it's possible to exchange the ring, you'd like to go with him and select one that's more in keeping with your taste." Abby, whatever happened to "It's the thought that counts"? To me, the uglier the ring, the more special it would be. It may not be my taste, but it's obviously my future hus­ band's taste, and to exchange it would be wrong. Living with a ring that is not my taste would be small potatoes compared to hurting my finance's feelings. Your answer had an ERA ring to it. ROMANTIC IN SACRAMENTO DEAR ROMANTIC: ERA my eye! A woman who hasn't the courage (or good sense) to tell her fiance how she feds about the engagement ring he surprised her with will surely withhold her feelings about the more important aspects of their relationship for fear of "hurting his feelings." I am not suggesting she use a meat cleaver to make her chance doesn't stand a parties speak their minds DEAR ABBY: Having been in the retail Jewelry business for many years, I've waited on hundreds of men who come in alone to buy engagement rings, and most of them haven't the faintest idea of what their intended would like. . I show them plain rings, fancy rings, all kinds of rings, and they all end up asking me, "What do you think she'd like? " Of course I don't know the lady's taste, so I select a ring and tell him it can be exchanged. Then I suggest he bring the lady in and give her a voice in the selection. No names, please. I don't want this to sound like a commercial. RON IN OMAHA DEAR ABBY: I am 54, divorced, and for the last three years I've been in love with a mar­ ried man 111 call Roy. He and his wife are separated. She says she is satisfied with things the way they are, and she will fight any divorce action Roy initiates. She refuses to seek employment, saying Ron has to support her. Roy hesitates proceeding with a divorce because he will have to give her practically everything he has worked for all his life. He is 59 and concerned about income for his retire­ ment. I love him and feel life would be meaningless without him. D6 you see a solution? ROY'S WOMAN DEAR WOMAN: If it's marriage you want, Roy will have to pay the high cost of leaving in order to free himself and marry you. If he can't--or won't--you are just toother woman who's In love with a married man. • • • DEAR ABBY: I am pregnant for the first time, and I get very upset when people start telling me about miscarriages, stillbirths and other horror stories about crib death and any number of tragedies that have happened to them and other people. It really bothers me because I realize something like that could happen to me, but why remind me of it just before I have to have my first baby? I suppose they want to prepare me for these tragedies in case they happen to me, but are we ever prepared. I hope this makes your column,. You can't imagine how upsetting it is for a woman who is pregnant with her first child to hear these lanks for being there, Abby. I feel better just being able to write this. Maybe someone will see this and think twice before she speaks. ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT Janitor lone dweller in building By United Press International SAN FRANCISCO - The 20-story Federal Building provides jobs for 5,000 employees. It also apparently was home to one of them. Officials acknowledged Wednes­ day they were investigating a jani­ tor who may have been living in the building for 17 years in storerooms, a boiler room and cubbyholes, squirelling away his savings in cash and stock certificates. "There are a lot of rumors that he was living there. We're investigat­ ing it," said Mary Filipini of the General Services Administration, which operates the big building. Fellow employees -- all insisting that their names be withheld -- said it was common knowledge that Vir­ gil Johnson, a 21-year custodial em­ ployee of the GSA, had been living in a third-floor storeroom for five years and before that in the boiler room and other cubbyholes for a 17 years. Johnson was on vacation, but Fili­ pini said he told investigators he used the storeroom only as an office to do paperwork. The room is down the hall from the Internal Revenue Service offices. Building officials Wednesday in­ vestigated reports that Johnson was seen bringing groceries into the building and the complaints of foul smells coming from a storeroom. They removed a hotplate, televi­ sion, bedding and other personal Former IRS agent linked to nationwltle tax scheme By United Press International SPOKANE, Wash. - Four men, including a retired Internal Reve­ nue Service agent, are accused in a federal indictment of conducting a multimillion dollar illegal tax shel­ ter scam that attracted more than 3,000 investors nationwide. U.S. Attorney John E. Lamp said Wednesday former IRS agent Law­ rence M. Richey of Yakima, James C. Russell, of Yakima, Frank E. Forrester of New York City and Earhl R. Schoof, of Portland, Ore., face conspiracy charges of selling illegal tax evasion programs that caused investors to under-report their income and to claim false and fraudulent income tax deductions. Authorities said Schoof was in custody but it was not immediatel| known if the three others had been arrested. More than 350 of the investors involved in the schemes resided in Washington and Oregon, Lamp said, and their under-reported in­ come and false and fraudulent de­ ductions exceeded $7 million be­ tween 1979 and 1962. He said nationwide more than 3,000 investors were involved. The indictment charges the defen­ dants falsely promised individuals they could escape liability from fed­ eral income taxes by signing a "personal services contracts with a Panamanian corporation to which they purportedly sold their lifetime services for $1 per year. The indict- I claims the individuals contin- work for their present em­ ployers but turned over their paychecks to the Panamanian firm. In return, the indictment claimed, the individuals immediately re­ ceived checks equaling about 90 percent of their paychecks from an entity known as IDI Credit Union. effects from the room. A large amount of money, some stocks and bonds also were reportedly taken out, but officials declined comment, pending further investigation. Cloning protested By United Press International SEATTLE -- Experiments involv­ ing the transfer of cloned human genes to animals is stirring up con­ troversy between scientists and those who fear gene transfer could lead to genetic manipulation in humans. In earlier research, Palmiter helped develop larger mice from implanted rat genes. The latest work, reported recently in the Brit­ ish science journal Nature, was done by scientists from the Univer­ sity of Washington, University of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Depart­ ment of Agriculture. Drug scheme attacked By Bud Newman United Press International WASHINGTON - A House sub­ committee is warning consumers might not be'safe or elective b* cause of product counterfeiting and fraudulent wholesale distribution schemes. A report released Wednesday by the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight and in­ vestigation placed part of the blame on non-profit hospitals and medical facilities. A special exemption in federal anti-trust laws allows those facili­ ties to buy drugs from manufactur­ ers at prices sharply lower than regular wholesale prices. The report said many non-profit facilities frequently buy more drugs than they need at the low price and illegally sell their excess stock at a large profit to brokers or wholesalers. Those sales constitute a large part of what the report called the "diversion market," in which pre­ scription drugs follow questionable or illegal routes from manufactur­ ers to retailers. f Move Over Mrs. Markham JUN. 18 • JUL. 21 A marriage seems just about undone along with everything else in this wild, zany free- for-all.
