Sweden's Caroline Institute announced the $164,777 piun wiii tie shared by Drs. Daniel Nathans and Hamilton Smith of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., and Dr. Werner Arber of Basil University, Switzerland. Arber is a former faculty member at the University of Southern California and the University of California in Berkeley The three were cited for their ' discovery of restriction enzymes and their application to problems of molecular genetics " The restriction enzymes i mouth-to-moui- the 'chemical knives' that chop provide chromosomes into their component genes. The research of the three scientists has been important to the study of how to prevent cancer, birth defects and the study of the human aging process. It has been useful in the field of test tube babies because it can detect possible defects in the egg before it is fertilized in the test tube. Nathans, 50, is director of the Department of Microbiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He has been at Johns Hopkins since 1962, but in 1969 was an American Cancer Society scholar in the Department of Genetics at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovoth, Israel.

"I'm absolutely delighted," Nathans said today at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. "And I'm delighted to share it with a very close colleague Hamilton Smith and of course with Dr. Arber who provided the groundwork for the study. "I got kind of busy very suddenly," said Nathans, who added he had learned just moments before that he was named as one of three men to win the prize. "I really must run now I have to get to the lab," he REP. GOODLOE E. BYRON Acting Gov.

In Baltimore, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith said her husband, Hamilton, was "visibly shaken and had to sit down" after learning that he had won the prize.

Church sources and statements by the cardinals themselves indicate the 111 cardinals are moving toward a consensus: they want a theological conservative who values traditional doctrine and discipline, as well as a man who can control the unwieldy Vatican bureaucracy. American Cardinals John Dearden of Detroit and John Carberry of St. Louis admitted Wednesday that discussions about specific papal candidates were under way. Five children died early BOSTON, NT.

NEW YORK (UPI) Sporadic Firing in Beirut SINGAPORE (UPI) An explosion today in the boiler room of a Greek freighter berthed in Singapore killed 20 people and injured 70 others, police said.

HP U.S. Citizens Face Danger in Uganda - NAIROBI, Kenya (UPI) Uganda's President Idi Amin today said he is on the verge of retaliating against a U.S. trade embargo by taking "very drastic" action against the 300 Americans who live in his country. Amin's threat, broadcast by Radio Kampala, gave no hint of what steps the burly dictator con- o Ming Technicians o Rustprooiing Technicians templated. The U.S. congressmen who sponsored the trade embargo said their action also was retaliation, against the "ferocious, institutionalized brutality" that has killed tens of thousands of Ugandans under Amin's rule. After Amin was stung by U.S. criticism last year, he rounded up all Americans living in Uganda and held them hostage while he spouted a series of threats. Faced with a stern response from the Carter administration, however, he later released all of the U.S. citizens. There was no immediate U.S. response to today's Radio Kampala broadcast, which came before dawn in the United States. The United States and Uganda have not severed relations, but the U.St Embassy in Kampala has been closed for years, and the U.S. government tries to dissuade all Americans from traveling in the landlocked East African nation. The trade embargo signed by Carter earlier this week was actually an amendment to other legislation. It bans the United States from importing Ugandan products or sending American goods to Amin's regime. The ban primarily would affect Uganda's $250 mUlion-per-yecoffee trade with the United States.
