Green said that estimate did not include the loss of personal property, such as vehicles, furnishings or equipment, nor did it include public property losses.

Pennsylvtv nla's deputy health secretary, said the specialists, comprising "possiblly the world's leading group of pathologists," would attempt to determine how the disease differs from common pneumonia and whether It is a "new disease." In Its weekly national report on disease and deaths, the federal Center for Disease Control (CDC) In Atlanta said legion' naires disease "appears to be over." "Surveys of guests staving at three Philadelphia hotels in the two weeks following the convention showed no evidence of continuing risk," the CDC said.

Then Seattle, where he repeated that he would issue a general pardon for Vietnam war evaders.

Carter said he would not issue a general amnesty. The difference, he explained, was that amnesty means what you did was right; pardon doesn't. Many of the Legionnaires booed; they didn't accept the distinction. Neither did Dole.

On Wednesday, he dismissed his campaign director, Rogers C.B. Morton, who helped steer Ford to the nomination, but sometimes got into trouble with his public statements.
