Clean air
bill OK'd
in Senate
WASHINGTON (UPI)
The Senate yesterday gave
strong approval to a bill to
move the nation toward clean
air within the pressures of
energy supply and economic
growth.
The vote was 78 to 13.
Backers called it a realistic
approach to the environment.
Critics said it bows to in
dustry and makes it easy to
continue pollution.
The House began debate
Wednesday on a different
clean air, bill. When com
pleted, the Senate and the
House will have to iron out
differences.
,£ln some ways, the Senate
bill toughens the 1970 Clean

Approval of swine flu vaccine urged
WASHINGTON (AP) Congressional health leaders are
still pressing for quick approval of insurance legislation
needed for the swine flu vaccination program despite reports
that the mysterious disease in Pennsylvania is probably not
swine flu.
The outbreak in Pennsylvania last week prompted new
(riforts in Congress to revive President Ford’s swine flu
program after an impasse had developed over insurance
coverage.
House Commerce Committee Chairman Harley 0.
Staggers, D-W.Va. urged the panel yesterday to pass the
federal insurance liability plan to be on the safe side.
“I’d rather err on the side of it being swine flu in Penn
sylvania and be ready for it then have someone say we.didn’t
i&ct and there was a serious epidemic, ’’said Staggers. .
But there was stiff opposition from some Democrats in the
committee to rushing the federal insurance plan through
Congress.
“I haven’t seen anything like this since the Gulf of Tonkin,”
said Rep. Henry A. Waxman, D-Calif. “I hate to be panicked
into acting when we don’t know what we’re doing.”
He said he has “great trepidations” that the court system
would be overburdened by the plan. It would require the
federal government to cover most patient claims arising out
of any injury from the vaccine
The plan, supported by health subcommittee chairman Paul
G. Rogers, D-Fla., was put together after producers refused to

Health food
State College’s three
health-food stores offer the
consumer a wide range of
organic and natural products
that vary both in quality and
price.
The Dandelion Market on
Pugh Street resembles an
authentic general store.
Flours, grains, dried fruits
and nuts are stored in large,
61d-fashioned bins and sold in
bulk. The Market sells fresh
produce from local organic
farmers and many packaged,
foods from natural foods
companies
New Morning Natural
Foods, which is situated in a
rambling old house on the
corner of W. College Avenue
and S. Atherton Street, also
carries bulk products which
are stored in large bins.
Prices are consistently lower
than at Dandelion Market.
Another alternative is the
Nittany Mall’s General Nutri
tion Center(GNC), a small,
sell vaccine to the government because of inability to obtain
private insurance.
The insurance firms said that Ford’s plan to immunize all
Americans against swine flu could conceivably bring a flood
of lawsuits from patients claiming they were injured in the
inoculation program. And, the insurance firms argued, they
couldn’t afford that, especially with the trend toward large
malpractice awards in court over the past few years.
In Pennsylvania, state researchers trying to identify the
deadly disease which has killed 23 persons said it probably is
jiot swine flue.
Meanwhile, Dr. David J. Sencer, director of the federal
Center for Disease Control, told a Senate health subcommittee
that the same liability concerns that have stalled the swine flu
immunization program have jeopardized public vaccination
of 1.5 million poor children against polio and measles.
Suppliers of polio and measles vaccines, he said, are in
sisting on new safeguards that are impossible to meet.
He said Lederle Laboratories is insisting that only doctors
give polio vaccine, and Merck,'Sharp & Dohme is insisting
that doctors advise parents of benefits and risks of measles
vaccinations. Their demands, in contracts which have not
been signed, were prompted by concern over manufacturers’
liability if injuries result, he said.
Sencer said the Public Health Service does not have enough
doctors in public clinics in urban and rural areas to meet those
demands, and it is contrary to good public health policy to use
the skills of doctors that way.
The absence of rightist
leaders at Sofar may have
been directly related to the
last-ditch battle at the Beirut
slum of Nabaa, a Moslem
stronghold in Chrisitan east
Beirut.
Observers theorized that
the Christians may not join--
fully in the truce agreement
until after Nabaa is under
their total control.
The most crucial phase of
the truce,, however, may
come when Arab League
peace-keeping forces try to
set up buffer zones at “hot
spots” along the front lines in
the next day or two.

drawback is its crowded

GNC less accessible than

claimed originally that
Nabaa had fallen just before
the cease-fire went into ef
fect. But the Christians later
admitted that fighting was
continuing there and at the

Still later, Christian
broadcasts said the situation

holdouts would surrender

Plan for environment 'idealistic'
The proposed Environmental Master Plan for Pennsylvania
is idealistic and perhaps politically beyond the realm of
possibility, according to Herbert Kauhl of the Centre Regional
planning staff.
Kauhl gave his opinions along with Dennis Elpern, also of
the planning staff, to the Centre Regional Planning Com
mission last night. ,
Kauhl said the openihg statements of the plan attempt to
refute the idea that man is above nature and that technology is
more important than the environment, and instead try to show
that man is part of an ecosystem.
However, Kauhl and Elpern pointed out that the eight

More than 100 victims of the

the canyon, and at the
mountain resort of Estes
Park at the headwaters of the
river. Only a third of them
have been identified.
Authorities said an ac

impossible, but the Red Cross
said it had a list of 800 missing
persons compiled from in

nearly 4,000 inquiries from
relatives and friends.
Sheriff Bob Watson said the
five-man diving team,
wearing wet suits and tied by
lifelines to rescuers on the
bank of the muddy river, tried
to locate bodies in the
multitude of twisted cars and
trucks.

“I’m not so sure we are getting a new environmental ethic,
but pretty much of the same thing,” Elpem said of the plan.
The Commission made comments on certain parts of the
plan they felt to be lacking and at the next meeting will write a
letter to the state expressing the commission’s views.
The plan is being submitted to planning commissions
around the state to get community input before it is finally
