In the late 1970s, after the first of four "Superman" films starring Christopher Reeve proved a boxoffice hit, DC Comics agreed to give Shuster and Siegel $20,000 annual stipends for life (later increased to $30,000) and restored their creators' credits. "Jerry and Joe invented a character who today survives and flourishes in every entertainment medium," said Gerald M. Levin, chairman of DC Comics parent company, Time Warner Inc. "Superman brought hope to millions during the Depression and World War II. He lives on." Siegel also created the Spectre, which is still published by DC Comics.

The writer is survived by his wife, Joanne, who was the model for Lois Lane and who is writing a book about her role with the cartoonists for over six decades.

SWERDLICK, AI Hillside Mortuary SWERDLICK, AI Hillside Mortuary The school tissue bank was not licensed in accordance with state requirements because of UC San Diego's "erroneous understanding" that Asch's valid tissue bank" license in Orange County covered the site in La Jolla. UC San- Diego has since received such a license. Payments made to Asch and those who worked under him in La Jolla were not reported UC Irvine, Asch's primary employer, as required under university rules.

UC San Diego laid much of the blame on Asch for problems at the La Jolla clinic. But Dr. Daniel Masys, the institutional officer for UC San Diego's human subjects research committee, said that" as many as four physicians at the La Jolla campus -including a senior faculty member now on 'probation -had erred in not reporting university-based research on discarded reproductive tissues to the committee. This research on "nonviable" tissue was apparently unrelated to that at the University of Wisconsin and did not require patient consent, a UC San Diego spokeswoman said. But it probably should have' been reviewed by a university panel, she said.

UC San Diego officials noted that Tuesday's announcement concerned only reproductive material that, in Moore's words, "remains on glass. under a microscope" and, for all intents and purposes, could not possibly have been used to create a child.
