Sulphur dioxide has a sharp, stinging odor and causes the eyes to burn and water and irritates the throat. Soft coai is the biggest source of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere, and in Chicago most of it came from the city's schools, which are required by statute to burn Illinois coal.

What apparently saved Chicago from an even worse smog was the weekend, officials in the city Air Pollution Control Department told The Register by telephone Monday. Rose Again With schools closed Saturday and Sunday and less auto traf-; fic Sunday, the sulphur dioxide content dropped to close to the Health Service danger mark, only to rise again Monday. But by Monday, the weather situation was beginning to improve. The high-pressure ridge by then had moved east of Chicago into Indiana and a brisk surface wind from the southwest was starting to stir up the air over the metropolis by afternoon. The situation is expected to worsen temporarily overnight and then disappear today, the Chicago Weather Bureau said, with the breaking up of the temperature inversion.

In addition, today is Veterans Day, and schools and city, county and federal offices will be closed. Illinois Atty. Gen. William J. Scott has blamed much of the pollution around the city's airports on jet planes.

One jet, he said, spews into the air as much pollution as 10,000 cars. Scott said he is considering legislation to force the air lines to use smokeless engines.

By the time we finished with that," he said, the danger outdoors had subsided." The fumes remained strong in the air as firemen placed exhaust fans at windows of the dairy. Police closed off an area for about a block surrounding the buildings for a time. The police net was not tight, however, and several unsuspecting pedestrians walked into the fumes and quickly fled coughing, gasping and with tears streaming from their eyes. Onlooker Given Oxygen No one but employes was overcome, although at least one onlooker required a few breaths of oxygen from firemen. Patton, a bottler, and one of those injured said he had just arrived at work and was changing clothes in a locker room directly across a hall from the compressor when the gas began escaping.

"It sounded like air escaping and then I saw a cloud coming into the room," Pat-ton said. "I knew right away what it was. I just grabbed my pants and ran." Patton said he was blinded by thejumes and had to grope his way up a flight of stairs and outside before he fell gasping on a driveway. A fellow worker took him to the hospital. Frank Bennett of 3533 Twenty-seventh place, a route supervisor, said he was in the west building when he smelled the fumes and ran outside.

"People Gasping" "People were gasping around out on the driveway," he said. "Jerry Garland got a gas mask from someplace and we ran into the (east) building." He said they found Mrs. Kirshbaum and Mrs. Dawson, both secretaries, and Mrs. Spangler, a switchboard operator, in a vault on the second floor of the east building.

Garland, an engineer, helped Mrs. Spangler out of the building and both collapsed, Bennett said. "Jerry put down the mask before he went out," Bennett said, "so I picked it up." Bennett said he carried Mrs. Dawson out and firemen, wearing oxygen masks, carried Mrs. Kirshbaum.

Cleared in an Hour It took about an hour for fire men to clear the air in the east building's basement so they could enter the compressor room and begin closing valves. They used fans and soaked floors and walls with water, which combines with ammonia and dilutes it. The cause of the leak was not determined until about 6 p.m. and firemen remained at the scene until about 9:30 p.m. The bottling operation was begun again, however, about 7:30 p.m.

(AP) -President Nixon announced Monday he wants the Atomic Energy Commission to start operating its three uranium enrichment facilities on a commercial basis and eventually sell them to private operators. Mr. Nixon said the govern ment, whose requirements for enriched uranium are expected to be relatively small, would have spend some $2 billion over the next 10 to 15 years to expand the facilities to meet commercial demand. He said the eventual sale of the three plants at Oak Ridge, Paducah, and Portsmouth, Ohio, could free federal resources for more pressing national needs.

The issue came before Judge Gesell when two persons under indictment for performing abortionsone a physician, the oth er a nurse's aide at a hospl tal asked him to dismiss their indictments. The basis for their motions was a recent ruling by the Supreme Court of California barring prosecution under that state's old anti-abortion laws on the grounds that their "necessary to preserve life" restriction was not "sufficiently certain to satisfy due process requirements." One of the defendants, Dr. Milan Vuitch, 54, of suburban Chevy Chase, relied heavi ly on the California precedent in his petition.

Attorneys for the other, Shirley A. Boyd, 29, of Washington, raised' a variety of additional arguments, ranging from women's rights to public policy on population growth. Judge Gesell avoided direct comment on most of those in reaching his decision, and did not dismiss the indictment against Miss Boyd. The indictment of Dr. Vuitch, he decided, must be dismissed because under the statute the doctor "is presumed guilty and remains so unless a jury can be persuaded that his acts were necessary for the preservation of the woman's life or health," an unconstitutional violation of the "presumption of innocence" tradition.

Northern Lights The earth is shielded against most of these by a protective envelope called the magneto-sphere and by the atmosphere itself. Radiations from such flares often result in brilliant displays of northern lights when they reach the vicinity of the earth. But the Apollo astronauts will be beyond this protection for most of their 10-day flight. They will be particularly vulnerable during their 6'2-hour moon walks Nov. 19 i and 20.

Seven observatories organized into a NASA project called SPAN (solar particle alert network) located at Houston, Boulder, the Canary Islands, Carnarvon and Coolgura, Australia; Hawaii and Tehran, Iran, will maintain a continuous watch on the sun for any sign of dangerous eruptions. Ordinary light, which takes 8 minutes to reach the earth from the sun, will give the first warning of a flare. The dangerous emissions arrive 6 to 12 hours later, so that Apollo Mission Control has that muCb time to decide on what evasive action to take. Some Protection Should a flare seem serious enough, officials could even order the flight terminated ahead of schedule, although the shielding of the command module provides some measure of protection. If a flare were to catch-Astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean on one of their two moon walks, they could be ordered to seek the shelter of the lunar module or even to blast off for the protection of the command module.

Wonderone was here to plug the pool equipment bearing his name at Arlans new store, 2309 Euclid ave. A native of New York City, he now makes his home at Dowell, 111., 80 miles from St. Louis, Mo.

To Study Ruling But it does not mean that abortions automatically will be- "come easier to obtain here than they have been. Many doctors asked for their reactions predicted that the medical profession will take its time evaluating the ruling and deciding whether to act on it. The challenged law permits induced abortions only when "necessary for the preservation of the mother's life or health." That clause, Judge Gesell found, cannot survive con stitutional scrutiny because it is so vague that a person accused of violating it cannot properly defend himself, and because it places upon a defendant the burden of proving that the operation was medically necessary.

Judge Gesell urged the U.S. attorney's office to appeal his ruling directly to the U.S. Supreme Court. But the judge apparently expects that his ruling will be upheld. He said there has been "an increasing indication in decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States that as a Secular matter a woman's liberty and right of privacy extends to family, marriage and sex matters, and may well include the right to remove an unwanted child, at least in the early stages of pregnancy."
