WASHINGTON. (AP) — The United

Jan, 21, 1983, as the world’s first nuclear-

entire submarine’ fleet to nuclear power.

The Pentagon has 33 missile-firing subs
and 94 aftack vessels, designed to hunt
down Soviet ships and missile-carrying
subs, The fleet is expected to stay at about
that number as new subs replace ones built
in the 19503. and. early 1960s.

By contrast, the Soviets have nearly 400

Baby born.
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Scientists said today
that the world’s first test-tube baby produced with an egg:
. donated to the mother has been born, offering new hope for
infertile women who want children. :

Dr. Carl Wood said the birth demonstrates that women
who areunable to produce eggs or who suffer from hormone §
‘shortages can have children:

‘Wood, professor of obstetrics at Monash University in:
Melbourne, said a healthy boy was born in November after
an egg donated by a 2#-year-old woman was implanted ina
woman in her 20s who was unable to produce her own eggs.
The egg was fertilized with the sperm of the mother’ B
husband, Wood said.
