Clothing Styles Change Burn Deaths MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Two researchers said today a change in clothing styles may be responsible for a sharper decrease in burn death rates among girls than boys in recent years.

Until the mid 1960s girls under 10 had much higher death rates from burns than boys, said G. Stewart Young and Susan P. Baker of the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. They said this was probably because girls wore ting, easily ignited dresses and nightgowns. But during the late 1950s, female burn death rates began to drop more quickly than males and and by the mid 1960s, male children had more deaths from burns than girls.

Young and Mrs. Baker said, in a report prepared for a meeting of the America Public Health Association, the increasing popularity of slacks among females in recent years apparently is one reason for the change.

Court To Hear Suit By Girl PHILADELPHIA (UPI) A 16-year-old girl who filed suit in an attempt to enter all -male Central High School is pleased the U.S. Supreme Court will hear her case, but concedes it won't do her any good even if the court rules in her favor. "I'm just glad the case has reached a place where a final decision can be made," Susan Vorchheimer, now a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania, said Monday after the court announced it would hear her case.

Because she was not per. mitted to attend the prestigious 140 year old Central High, known for its academic excellence, Ms. Vorchheimer entered George gion High School. She entered Penn upon completion of her junior year. Ms.

Vorchheimer said was a little disappointed she will not be able benefit from a possible favorable ruling. "I wanted very much to go to Centra)." she said. "1 wish the decision would I have come when I could have gained by it, but will be very happy if we win the Ms. Vorchheimer was prevented from entering Central High when the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled in a 2-1 decision against her suit.

Attorney Sharon Wallis, represents Ms. Vor. chheimer, described the case as "one of the easiest" to decide. explaining it was similar to the case of Brown vS. the Topeka Board of Education in which the U.S.

Supreme Court ruled against racial segregation in schools. is exactly the kind of case that started the change in laws against racial discrimination." Ms. Wallis said. Central and Girls High School, which Ms. Vor.

chheimer chose not to attend, are the city's only purely schools. They have high admission standar. ds, I.Q. requirements, offer olle preparatory courses only and accept students from the entire city. The circuit court noted that Ms.

In its preliminary report, the Commerce Department said the total dollar value of the nation's output of goods and services grew at the slowest annual rate since the fourth quarter of last year when the economy expanded by only 3.3per cent. The modest third quarter figure of 4 per cent was sub.

stantially less than the administration had hoped. The GNP grew at rates of 4.5 per cent in the second quarter and 9.2 per cent rate in the fir. st quarter. Despite the disappointing Iment growth had in the some GNP, good the newson the inflation front. The cost of living.

as measured by GNP indicators, declined from 5.2 per cent in the second quarter to 04.4 percent in the third. Although the 4 per cent growth rate was far less than the 5 per cent administration economists had predicted ear. lier this year, it nevertheless represented the sixth secutive quarter the GNP has expanded. The last time the "real" GNP -total output stripped of inflation- -declined was in the first quarter of 1975 when the nation was in the midst of recession. The Commerce Department reported that the real GNP was $1.272 trillion for the third quarter.

All major components increased with the exception of export sales and inventory investment. Commerce officials said today's report is based on preliminary data, par. ticularly for exports and inventories, and that the GNP will ultimately be revised. They did not indicate whether it would be revised up or down. Officials Encouraged Turnout Better At Flu Clinics The turnout of elderly and chronically ill Americans at swine flu inoculation clinics across the country Monday encouraged health officials to believe they no longer were afraid about the safety of the immunization program.

The $135 million program was sidetracked temporarily last week when about 35 elderly persons died after receiving combination flu shots against the Victoria and swine flu strains. However, the effects of the adverse publicity lingered in some areas, noticeably in Allegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh, where clinics reopened Monday after a one- week shutdown and about 4,200 persons showed up to be inoculated. The turnout was far lighter than it was the day before the clinics closed. when 11,000 people obtained shots. However, Dr.

Frank B. Clack. Allegheny County Health Department director, said there was little no anxiety among those getting shots. "I've talked to many of these people," Clack said. "They have no apprehension whatsoever.

They really want to have the immunization." Elsewhere in Pennsylvania, the number of inoculations increased Monday for the fourth consecutive Pennsylvania Health Secretary Leonard Bachman said. He said about 170,000 persons have been inoculated in areas outside Philadelphia and Allegheny County, In Ohio. a spokesman for the state Department of Health said the inoculation program was "proceeding smoothly." "We have a little over two million doses of vaccine available and we have given close to 400,000 the spokesman said. Gov. Robert D.

Ray of Iowa rolled up his sleeve Monday and received his swine flu immunization shot from state Health Commissioner man Pawlewski. Ray said the shot "hurt a little Following his shot, the governor turned around and gave Pawlewski a shot, then gave a shot to a reporter. Officials at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, who last week stressed the immunization program is safe, said it would be midweek before it is known how badly the nationwide inoculation effort had been hurt by the deaths and subsequent. publicity. The CDC said the 35 "official" deaths occurred among elderly persons with histories of heart disease or other chronic illnesses.

The first deaths were reported in Pittsburgh a week ago when three elderly recipients died. Clack immediately suspended the immunization program and his action prompted health officials in as many as 13 states to suspend inoculations temporarily.

SENIOR CITIZENS $1.00 (Cont'd from Page 1) Shobek was moved to the cell adjacent to the execution chamber Sunday.

Prison officials said he was calm. Officials prepared him a final meal of orange juice, grits, sausage, bread and ter and coffee. The press was barred from attending the execution. A coroner's jury was charged with certifying Shobek's death and an official notice of the hanging was to appear on the prison's main gate. No claim had been received by Monday night for Shobek's body, which was to be placed in a plain pine coffin for burial in a pauper's grave.

Shobek, who changed his name from James Michael Shoffner, was convicted in May 1974 of the fatal stabbing of Irwin Bornstein, 44, a New York accountant. Shobek also confessed to Paul Howell, 5 50, of Massillon, Ohio, and Katie Smith, 17, of Detroit, the previous month. "God, my father, told me who to destroy in Nassau," he testified at his trial. He said the three tourists were "angels of Lucifer." Shobek escaped execution by hours one year ago when his attorneys and U.S. persuaded the government to grant more time for appeals.

Bahamian authorities gave the go-ahead for the execution despite a last minute appeal, relayed by the White House, from Shobek's mother, Juanita Spencer; a 51-year-old Milwaukee school janitor. U.S. Ambassador Seymour Weiss, who relayed the appeal to the government, said "their response was negative." Shobek's death sentence was criticized by a groupidentified as the "Bain Town Freedom and Justice Committee." an organization opposed to capital punishment. In May 1961, two Americans were executed in the Bahamas for hijacking a yacht and murdering the skipper. Romania, through smaller than Oregon, has nearly 10 times as many people almost 20,000,000.
