6--Moberly Monitor-Index Evening Democrat, June 2,1970 Problems of Product Safety 'Not Panel Reports By II. L.SCHWARTZ III Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON A Congressional penny-pinching and bureaucratic sluggishness have created a facade of consumer protection but no realistic program, Ihe National Commission on Product Safely was told today. "One consequence of these conditions has been widespread public deception," declared a special report prepared for the commission by Howard A. Heffron, former law professor at the University of Washington. "Contrary to broad public expectations urgent problems of product safety are not being handled," the report said.

"If these conditions persist the Servicemen Column Moberly Brothers Have Served Country These five brothers, all Moberly boys, are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Ornburn, 1348 Watson.

"I'm not going to discuss operations of ARVN (Army of the Republic of South Vietnam) forces beyond June 30 or what actions the United Stales might lake in terms of air support beyond the June 30 deadline." He added, "U.S. air support following June 30 would relate lo the security of U.S. forces in South Vietnam. That is pretty clear.

That does not suggest TAC (tactical a i support of AHVN forces in Cambodia." Extension Club Meets KEYTESVILLE Ten members and four guests were present when the Friendly Circle Extension Club met in the home of Mrs. S. D. Shaffmaster with Mrs. James Brown as co- hostess.

The 181-page report was contracted by the commission to study federal laws covering safety requirements for automobiles, flammable fabrics and hazardous substances, including toys.

Commission Chairman Arnold B. Elkind said the findings were nol necessarily endorsed by his agency but were being released in hopes all interested parlies would find them useful. The Heffron report was aimed at (he Food and Drug Administration, the Commerce Department and the Bureau of Highway Safety in the Transportation Department. They were criticized for their respective handling of hazardous substances, flammable products and auto safety. Congress, which set up the commission with a joint resolution in 1907, came in for a measure of criticism.

"While Congress has committed vast paper power to agency discretion," said the report, "it has failed to provide agency resources commensurate with the regulatory problems presented. Tlie facade of consumer protection programs but not the reality has been created." The report also charged the agencies almost instinctively approach any problem "so as to seek accommodation with the regulated industry and to avoid major conflict with it." The report concluded there is no simple way to invigorate the safety programs. "The overriding need," it said, "is for adequate funding and facilities. Fulfillment of this need, however, will only make more vigorous administration possible, but not insure it." Peru- Armstrong Visitors ARMSTRONG Mr. and Mrs.

Marvin F. Beach of Kenosha, and former residents of the Armstrong community, recently visited in (he home of his brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Rolla Jicach. Guests from Iowa PARIS Mr.

and Mrs. T. J. Moore of Creston, Iowa, visited Mrs. Flossie Gray Friday night and Saturday.

Mr. Moore is a school superintendent over five counties in the Crestcn area. (continued from page 1) making air access almost impossible. The government issued a communique Monday night stating that "liiven the magnitude ot the catastrophe, it is estimated that the number of dead and injured is high." But officials- were holding down the official death count to avoid panic. The disaster hit the central and northern reaches of Peru and covered the largest area affected by any Peruvian quake in memory.

'Hie area includes 10 slates with a population of about 6 million. Officials feared thousands of persons were killed by floods when the quake ripped away natural dikes holding back one or more lakes in the mountains. An American priest said in a bam broadcast that about 15,000 persons had been killed in Huaraz. Another amateur radio operator in Caraz, 45 miles to the northwest, said tons of water had come crashing down and had completed the destruction begun by Ihe earthquake the day before. He estimated the total dead in Caraz at 2,000.

But government officials said ham oiierators tended to exaggerate casualty figures. Three American missionaries were reported killed and two Peace Corps workers were presumed dead. Authorities were also concerned over Ihe fate of Japanese and Czechoslovak mountain climbing expeditions that were in the ravaged area. As Ihe Peruvian government mobilized its forces lo aid (he quake victims, help poured in from abroad. Chile rushed two cargo planes loaded with relief supplies to Ihe area, and a third plane was standing by to carry doctors and nurses.

Argentina sent a planeload of supplies. The United Slates was sending a large cargo plane loaded with rescue helicopters and was flying a medical team and supplies from Panama. A Soviet ship at Cartagena, Colombia, offered to send doctors and medicine. U.S. Ambassador Taylor Belcher presented Peru's first lady, who is honorary president of the national assistance board, with a check for $25,000.

U.N. Secretary-General Than! announced lhat he was sending $20,000. The U.N. Children's Fund donated $20,000 worth of equipment. A i a aulhorilies estimate lhat up lo JIOO million in crops may be lost to birds in the Uniled States each year.

The Federal Aviation Authority also notes that collisions between birds and planes cosl about $10 million annually. Fight Over- (continued From page 1) portant issues in the last two weeks of closed door work were unanimous. The budget includes $4 million of state funds for a new medical school in Kansas City, needed to avoid loss of federal matching funds. McNeal noted only about $700,000 of this can be spent in the next year. He said solid support for the medical school "made it politically impossible to put together a balanced budget, assure full funding of the badly needed chemistry building at Rolla and hold school aid up to current levels without also including this item." He said full funding of school aid for this year and the same or a higher level for next year "is a definite and important part of the package The record will show it has been this committee which has unanimously and relentlessly insisted on measures that will insure these results." The committee based its figures on the expectation that general revenue in the fiscal year starting July 1 would amount lo $611 million--the median of three estimates by the state budget director and two special studies.

Thus, McNeal explained, the committee based its appropriations on the expectation there would be $627.5 million to spend during the year, counting lapses of unspent money on June 30. Altogether the committee's recommendations for expenditures from general revenue (tax) money totaled $617.3 million. John C. Vaughn, comptroller anil budget director, said lie expects to "come fairly close" to his revenue estimates for this year, although the state must about $56 million in June to do that. June collections last year totaled only $27.5 million.

McNeal's reference to the chemistry building at Rolla reflected the committee's action in recommending the full $4.5 million necessary to replace a building that burned last fall. Also included is $500,000 to start construction of a new maximum security prison, the site of which lias not been chosen but is expected to be announced later this month. Money to acquire a site and prepare it a appro pr ia ted last Jami a ry. The Senate committee cut the total for Medic a id from $28.1 million to $25 million "in the belief that this step will help halt some of the current abuses and keep the program within Missouri's ability to participate." The governor's recommendations were followed on amounts for aid to junior colleges, old age assistance and were about the same for the Department of Revenue, including money to process city sales taxes. The 25 requests of the Mental Health Division were lumped together at a saving of about $600,000 and McNeal said "in the presence of Missouri's fiscal crisis, should prove satisfactory for one year." McNeal said the lump sum allotment will allow greater flexibility and open the way to efficiencies worth between 7 and 10 per cent, plus operation of two new floors at the Missouri Institute of Psychiatry in St.

Louis where psychiatrists are trained. A "formula" approach for the eight state colleges was adopted at their request and this would cost about $52,000 more than the governor recommended. Storm's "Eye" The "eye" of a hurricane is the area in the center of the storm. It-varies in diameter from about seven to 20 miles. Whereas the rest of the storm is violent, the eye has little or no wind and sometimes is clear enough so that sunshine or stars can be seen.
