HEW Seeks Consumer Help In Crackdown WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Health, Education and Welfare Department announced Saturday it will try to enlist consumer help to crack down on widespread unsanitary conditions found in food processing plants. The department advised Congress it agreed completely with the findings of a General Accounting Office (GAO) in- vestigator's report that brought the situation to light.

"This report has already been and will continue to be useful to FDA (the Food and Drug Administration), HEW, the Congress, the food industries and consumers," the HEW statement said. GAO is a congressional watchdog agency. HEW said it concurred with all nine recommendations made by the investigators, including a more effective government use of consumer complaints. An automated data system for recording complaints is being implemented on a nationwide basis to provide FDA field managers "with the information needed to follow up on complaints referred to states or other regubodies for corrective action," HEW said. A spokesman said the system, already at work in the Baltimore area, will be expanded to other cities.

The department's response to the sweeping criticism of conditions in food processing Candidates Expected To Make Political Hay Campaigning Shifts To Halls Of Congress By JOHN LENGEL Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Much of the political push-pull for the White House will take place in Congress where the lights are switched on again Monday. The floor speeches and votes of the Democratic ticket, Sens. George McGovern and Thomas -as well as some of their defeated rivals-will be fired as campaign ammunition. But the issue is much larger. Oversimplified, it is that President Nixon contends the nation would be better off if Congress, dominated by the Democrats, would pass the stack of bills that make up his program.

Congressional Democrats don't see it that way at all, preferring their own legislation, altering the President's in various degrees, or simply stalling the President's in committee. In 1948 Harry Truman made a Republican controlled "do nothing" Congress a set stone in his "give 'em hell" presidential campaign. This year President Nixon could do much the same thing and he has not discouraged speculation that he may call a recessed Congress back to Washington if he felt it necessary. Some of the fresh insight on this was provided in a speech last week by Clark MacGregor, a former House member who heads the campaign committee to re-elect the President. All Nixon wants is progress, MacGregor said, "He does not wish to create an issue for political advantage." "But make no mistake about it," MacGregor said to the partisan audience, when asked what the President could do to get his program moving: "Come the end of October, this question will be answered very forcefully for the American people." He did not go further.

Congress meets at noon Monday after a two-week recess for July Fourth and the Democratic convention. It has five weeks of work before the Republican convention recess, and perhaps four to eight weeks more after that. Providing a schedule preview, Senate Democratic Whip Sen. Robert Byrd says, "senators should plan on lengthy sessions daily, days a week. A very heavy, tough, controversial work load confronts the Senate." Providing a political preview, Senate Republican LeadScott, says about the Democratic presidential ticker Hugh Scott says about the toric, let them have their headlines for the weekend.

I'll Police Puzzled By Stabbing Incident Chess Tourney Still Up In Air REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Boris Spassky fished for salmon and Bobby Fischer kept his Sabbath Saturday as Readers Ask HELP! (Continued From Page One) TACOMA, Wash. (AP) Police were attempting to Saturday what determined a sudden, indiscriminate attack in which a man allegedly stabbed five persons on a bus before he was shot and critically wounded by a bus driver. Officers said the alleged White, the caseworker, told HELP! that she would check back with your mother in a couple of weeks to see if she had applied for the disability payments. If your mother hasn't, she'll help her make out the application, too, even though that really isn't a part of her caseworker job!

We had a horse until noon Wednesday, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to use the horse.

Because it took a few thousand phone calls to find the first horse, we've thrown up our hands in despair on even starting to find a second one.

Hopkins, 63, Seattle; Luciel Osvold, 75, Portland; and Freida Kunz, 63, Portland. Harley Virgil Powell, 57, the driver of another bus, had been attracted to the bus by the commotion and was stabbed trying to subdue the knifer, police said.

Police said the assailant tried to flee and was shot by another bus driver, Harold Fallgreen, 47, Auburn, Wash. Fallgreen carried the gun in his travel kit, police said. "People were hollering for me to kill the man on the other Fallgreen recounted. "People around him were powerless," he added. "Something had to be done.

Anyone who tried to stop him would get stabbed." Harsens Pollution Reported HARSENS ISLAND, Mich. (AP) While bureaucrats quibble, Harsens Island's residents get even more mired in their own pollution. The island, a vacation area located at the St. Clair River's southern end boasting some 5,000 residents on summer weekends, lacks both water mains and sewage treatment facilities. Worse, health authorities say some homeowners discharge sewage directly into the water, and what septic tanks there are aren't doing proper jobs because the high water table allows effluent to leach into canals.

The result: residents must import drinking water from mainland Algonac. The State Water Resources Commission through the attorney general's office has been prodding local officials to clean up the mess for years. But Joe McKoan, superviser of Clay Township in which Harsens Island is located, blamed federal and state officials for not coming through with millions of clean-up dollars that, he said, they promised. "We just can't do the job on our own. It's too expensive," he explained.

McKoan said many offending houses are located on state-leased property, and state recreation areas have polluting outhouses and dumping grounds--all ignored by the state. Ralph MacMullan, director of the Michigan Department of National Resources, admitted the state "has something at stake," but added any appropriations must come from the legislature. er to cope with the situation. Investigators reported finding in some plants rodent excreta and urine, cockroach and other insect infestations in 01 around raw materials, finished products and processing equipment; improper use of insecticides near food processing areas; use of unsanitary equipment and other similar conditions. Food industry representatives such as the National Canners Association objected that the sampling of 97 plants was too small to draw absolute conclusions and that the report did not specify the criteria for unsanitary conditions.

Among the products made or processed at the plants were candy, fish, flour, cheese, ice cream, fruits, vegetables, popcorn, jams and jellies, macaroni, spices and other items. Consumer complaints about products falling under FDA regulatory jurisdiction will be monitored by the new data system to determine the disposition and to identify industry and product trends, HEW said. This includes complaints by individual consumers as well as consumer groups. HEW also said it was improving its method of selecting firms for inspection; that it would "take an even stronger enforcement posture against those plants that show continuing flagrant disregard" of food purity laws; and that it would report periodically to Congress on its progress. 70 COLD 90 80 90 FORECAST Figures Shew High Temperatures Expected For Daytime Sunday Isolated Precipitation Net Indicated Consult Clear skies and cool Great Lakes region.

A Tacoma police detective said Saturday a witness remarked that during the attack on one of the elderly women chess officials scrambled to save the world championship. After talks with officials of the International and Icelandic chess federations, Fischer's lawyer, Paul Marshal, announced the American challenger had withdrawn his objection to the presence of movie cameras in the playing hall "so long as they don't blow his mind." Marshal also asked the officials to reconsider their decision to uphold the referee in declaring a forfeit because Fischer missed the second game of the 24- game series Thursday. Fischer boycotted the session, saying the cameras distracted him.

Marshal said new evidence was being prepared that might stave off cancellation of the match. He wouldn't say what the evidence was. Fischer's failure to turn up for his second encounter with the world champion gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Spassky needs 12 points to retain the title, Fischer Each game won counts a point. A draw is half a point.

Fischer is refusing to play game No. 3 today unless the point the Russian gained by default is scratched from the score sheet. The deadlock seemed unbreakable, but Fischer's attorneys and his second, the Rev. William Lombardy, were trying to find a way out. One official connected with the International Chess Federation-FIDE-said he thought it was impossible to take the point away from Spassky.

Fischer boycotted game No. 2 because, he said, the noise from hidden movie cameras created "outrageous" playing conditions. An engineer tested the noise level of the cameras and found no difference in the sound in the empty hall with or without the cameras running. The Icelandic organizers earlier agreed to remove the television and movie cameras, although revenue from the rights helped to raise the total prize money to $300,000, the richest chess championship in history. Asked if Fischer planned 1 to pack up and go home, Marshal replied: "No.

Otherwise I wouldn't be here." Marshal arrived Saturday morning, joining another New York lawyer for Fischer, Andrew Davis. Spassky went salmon fishing to get away from it all. Fischer, as usual, was inaccessible. He was closeted in his hotel, presumably in quiet observance of the Sabbath his religion recognizes from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. The feeling was that Fischer would not play the scheduled third game today.

But no one knew for certain. the assailant said something about the woman being one of the witches from Portland. Officers said at one point they were searching for a man who sat next to Murphy on the bus and who fled after the stabbings. However, subsequent investigation found all persons on the bus accounted for. Police said Murphy apparently had no traveling companion and no one had fled the scene.

Four of the five stabbed in the Friday night incident were listed in satisfactory condition. The fifth was treated for stab wounds and released. Murphy was listed critical condition from a bullet wound in the chest, a hospital spokesman said. The assailant "began stabbing and slashing indiscriminately" at people apparently without prior incident, police said. The attack began as passengers debarked from the Greyhound bus in the Tacoma terminal.

The bus, which began the trip in Portland, was headed for Seattle. The attacker stepped off the bus behind Gail Chapman, 22, Portland, and began stabbing her in the back, authorities said. The man jumped back into the bus, author- Coast Guard Rescues Four Four Sarnia teenagers got an unexpected dunking Saturday afternoon when their 14- foot outboard motorboat overturned in the St. Clair River near the Blue Water Bridge. The Coast Guard pulled the youths from the water and brought the boat to shore.

There were no injuries. The Coast Guard late Saturday was also investigating the speed of two freighters that were reported tossing large wakes in the Marine City area.
