Benzene, a widely used chemical found in gasoline, causes leukemia. The unions said OSHA already had estimated that 152 of every thousand workers exposed to current on-thejob limits for a working lifetime could die of the disease and that 2 million workers are exposed to some extent. Lower benzene limits set by OSHA in 1978 were struck down in the courts on grounds that the agency had not shown that a new standard was "reasonably necessary." off all Helene Curtis perms give you this season's best looks at $40 perms savings.

CAYUGA ST. NEW YORK (AP) Federal customs agents seized 20,000 phony and possibly hazardous Patch" dolls Friday at three Manhattan locations.

Paul E. Summit, an assistant U.S. Attorney heading the investigation, said the dolls were seized from the Yuchius Company at a storefront, a warehouse and company offices at 1133 Broadway. Summit said the investigation began when Yuchius previously sold more than 5,000 of the counterfeit dolls, which he said were made in "the Far East," to a Michigan firm. On Dec.

5, the FBI in Detroit seized the 5,000 dolls at Central Sales International Inc. The 5,000 dolls seized in Michigan were in addition to the 20,000 taken in New York. Lab tests by the U.S. Customs Service indicated that the stuffing in the dolls gives off benzene-type fumes that may be toxic and the dolls may be dangerously flammable. Summit, who said the dolls seized in New York "reek," said some of them will be tested.

Summit noted that genuine Cabbage Patch dolls contain the signature of Xavier Roberts on the lower torso, and a copyright notice on the back of the head. The dolls seized Friday lack both those markings, he said. Springsteen tickets on sale SYRACUSE (AP) Tickets went on sale Friday for Bruce Springsteen concerts Jan. 26 and Jan. 27, in the Carrier Dome.

Even at $17 a ticket, an appearance by the 35-year-old "Boss" of rock 'n' roll and the Street Band may break the dome's concert attendance records of 43,000 per night set in November 1981 by the Rolling Stones, dome spokesman Mike Holdridge said. Fans bought more than 200,000 tickets for Springsteen's appearances in the Meadowlands arena last August. Earlier this week, students slept outside the Carrier Dome in a vain attempt to get into line for tickets. Springsteen burst on the scene in 1976 with the album "Born to Run." Another album was and he has incorporated his views of the American scene into many records, including the 1984 release "Born in the U.S.A."

Mario Cuomo says his preference for head of the Democratic National Committee is Nancy Pelosi, former state chairwoman of the party in California.

Pelosi is among a half-dozen candidates vying to succeed Charles T. Manatt when his four-year term as DNC chairman expires Feb. 1. "I'll tell you why I prefer Nancy Cuomo said Friday in a Cable News Network interview. "She's a youngish person with a clear commitment to the future.

Indeed she has five children, and that is not irrelevant. Some of them are quite young, and that would say to the American people immediately, 'This is a person who obviously thinks about the future." Cuomo added: "She's from the West, from California, but was raised in the East. She's extremely articulate. She understands the Democratic party. She has a nice pragmatism to her." Cuomo was interviewed on CNN's "Evans and Novak" program.
