DAVID WALLACE PrtM Writer WASHINGTON (AP) panel which reconuuftMiMl toe virtual ban on hexachlorophene in over-the-counter products now says that existing evidence does show cbemical substi- tutes for nexaeMoropnene to be safe in deodorant toilet soaps. "All of these chemicals are absorbed through intact human skin in measureable or signifi- cant amounts and all of them at some level produce damage to internal organs." said the panel of doctors appointed by Ike Food and Drug Administration. amount that could he used safely for a lifetime has not been established." The panel reached its con- dusion in October as part of a review of the safety and effec- tiveness of all nonpreECriptton uses of antimicrobials, germ killers.

The panel has yet to furnish the FDA with its final report, and soap makers say they are confident they can demonstrate the safety of their products be- fore the panel finishes its delib- erations. The panel's Judgment in Sep- tember that use of hexachloro- phene should' be severely re- stricted was followed within days by the FDA ban. In the case at the remaining germ kilters, the agency is waiting for the panel's fatal re- port which could be ready in a few weeks or a few months, an FDA spokesman said. The spokesman said the agency does hot consider any danger posed by substitutes for hexachlorophene to be the same as those from bexacfalorophene itself Nearly 40 French infants died from talcum powder which con- tained accidentally high levels of hexachlorophene. U.s! stud- ies had tied the to brain damage in premature in- fants.

The seven-member panel reached its unanimous judg- ment on germ kilters in toilet soaps after reviewing labora- tory studies ill which test ani- mals, fed or injected with vari- ous germ kilters suffered brain lesions and damage to testicles. the panel also expressed con- em over the possuriliry that by oDninatingcertain gertns'fram 3 skin, a highly effective anti- nacteriarsoap might upset the skin's normal balance and teave persons open to infection from other more persistent bacteria. The specific substances which the panel described as generally regarded as safe for incorporation into toilet bars for personal hygiene use" are known as TBS, TCC, TFC, triclosan and Vancide FP. New Flu Vaccine Developed PARIS (AP)--The Pasteur Institute says it has developed a vaccine against all types of influenza that are expected to develop in the next five years. Prof.

Claude Hannoun, head of the institute's ecology unit, said Tuesday that Previous flu vaccines have been developed only after each new type of virus appeared. But by trans- forming the virus into all the forms it is expected to take be- tween now and 1928, he said the institute's doctors formulated a vaccine against all of them: Hannoun said the vaccine also is effective against the types of flu that developed from the 1969 "Hong Kong" virus. He said the vaccine is in production and will become available generally as soon as the government ap- proves. The vaccine resulted from a process in which forms of flu virus yet to come were arti- ficially created in the labora- tory, Hannoun said. Hannoun explained that flu virus undergoes a basic change 10 years.

Sev- en were killed, 17 were injured.

Police Chief James Cox said after the: accident which stunned this Texas Panhandle community of 7,000 on Tuesday that the Sante Fe freight train was going '58 miles-an hour when it slammed into the rear of the bus which was carrying 29 persons. "The train hit the left rear side of the bus near the wheels and ripped it off." he said. C.O. Heinrich, a Santa Fe employe, said red signal lights at the rail-highway crossing where the accident occurred were working and that all warning signs were visible. 'TM -the driver, Arts Johnson; jured from Fieldton, a small, nearby farming commu- nity from which children are bused to the four schools in Lit- tlefield.

Jesse Diaz, 15, said he was sitting in the middle of the bus when it stopped at a rail cross- ing on U.S. 385 just four blocks from the Littlefield business district-. "Then it went on," the boy said. "I saw the train coming in before the bus started after it stopped. Anita Martinez (one of the victims) screamed at Mr.

Johnson to stop." Raul Ortiz, 11, said he saw the train coming. "When the bus stopped, ev- erybody yelled that the train was coming.

Only 700,000 cartwheels sold. That leaves about 1.6 mil- lion still on the auction block. So to get rid of the unsold sil- ver dollars, the General Serv- ices Administration, which is handling the sale, will reopen bids for 90 days, beginning Feb. 15. The rules will be the same: A minimum bid of $30 on each 1882,1883 or 1884 silver dollar-- one coin per customer from each of those years.

If a bidder got one in the previous bidding, he is ineligible for more coins in the year he has. Despite the lack of bidders, Richard Q. Vawter, GSA publico information said Great Silver Dollar Sate was not a bust. "We were very happy about it," be said. "We have 700,000 people who have coins and we think these people are going to be salesmen for us." When the auction was an- nounced, officials said they ex- pected the average bid would be around $40 a coin.

But since the coins were not sold out, each went for $30. Watergate Links Go Up A Step NEW YORK (AP)--As early as four before the Watergate arrests' in Washing- Ion, at least one White House official knew of and aided the political operations led by G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt the New York Times reported today. A Washington dispatch quoted a "well-informed gov- ernment official," as saying that Gordon C.

Slrachan, for- mer staff assistant to H. R. HaMeman, President Nixon's chief of staff, had served as the initial contact between Liddy's intelligence operations and the political espionage and sabo- tage campaigns allegedly man- aged by Donald H. Segretti on behalf of the Republdans. The Times said the charge "was the first directly linking a White House official to Liddy and Hunt," both members of the Watergate bugging team.

The White House has denied involvement or knowledge of such activities before the Watergate arrests at Democratic a i a headoaarten on June 17.

Citizens are locking up at greater expense and with greater ingenuity than ever before, but the score is still Good Guys 1, Burglars 2 "Partin in the citj art so urbane! In the suburbs people talk about nothing but Here, fney talk about rfteri AND their own personal By TOM TIEDE NEW YORK-(NEA)-Put to an extreme but not fanci- ful example, a man of prop- erty today, can upon leaving his home, lock his windows with tumbler combinations, his liquor cabinet with a thumbprint sensing latch, button up his closets with a voice-activated bolt, a off his outside doors with a dead-bolt that oper- ates by push-button combi- nation, spring an electroni- cally operated; supersensi- tive sonic a a for his grounds and still, dag nab it, get robbed blind.

Urged on by worst crime epidemic in the na- i history, Americans have in recent years. been locking up to a degree un- paralleled in the civilization of man. From schoolchildren with hall lockers to the own- ers of Mercedes automo- biles, the nation's citizens have been securing their be- longings with some $430 mil- lion worth of locks and bolts a year. And what an array of pro- tective devices! One widely used tumbler lock has 23 million i combi- nations. Experts i Ne.w York are installing multiple- closing hardware including, in some cases, pots and pans in front of the apartment One expert advocates putting two locks on a door and leaving one unlocked that way a burglar-picking both will unlock the locked but lock the unlocked.

Gad. is no end. There is one latch on. the market that opens by voice command, and a salesman says of it: "For some rea- son, a good dirty word is very good for activating'it." But for all the imagina- tion, and the expense, (an average-sized, modest home today has at least 100 worth of bolt and often as much as the won- der Js if it's doing much good. Locksmiths say "if the devices are installed correctly," But the evidence argues otherwise.

Lock sales in the United States have almost doubled in the last five years, but so too, probably, has the bur- glary rate. More than 2.5 million burglaries will be re- ported to police this year (vs. 1.6 million in 1967) and authorities; a the actual count is much higher. "Many people don't report burgla- ries, especially if only small things 'are taken," says one law enforcement expert. "We have about one burglary re- ported every 14-15 seconds in this country today.

But if I had to guess the actual number I'd say one every 12 seconds or maybe even one every 10." inconsistency, here, between'increased of locks and increased- numbers of successful burglaries, is easily explained. Says the FBI: "Years ago a good lock would stop a good thief. He was sophisticated enough to know that he shouldn't waste time picking latch. Now, however, the quality of the average burglar has de- teriorated. He's no longer a professional.

He's a kid, or a junkie, or something, like that. He hasn't got brains enough to be. deterred. If there a lock on a window, he'll just break the window. It must be damn discourag- ing for-the guy trying to pro- tect his home." Indeed.

Recently in New Jersey a suburban owner was robbed despite what he called "a Maginot Line of locks around place." For years, on leav- ing for work each morning, he "shut up everything from my woodshed to my color TV." A a one day the thieves broke through. How? Two teen-age kids drove a station wagon into his drive- way, broke a back window, opened the front door from the inside, and departed with his color TV. "The neighbors saw the car," nwpi the vic- tim, "but they thought it was the repair man." Fuawal will be at Thar- tday at the Hart Fweral Hwtve Chapel by lac Rev. Lector Bundy.

Thieves are enter- ing homes and offices today chimneys, dumb- waiters and open attic vents. Police report robbers who have pried off siding for home entry or disguised themselves as cleaning wo- men for office capers. Some crooks have been known to take an entire window pane out and then putty it back upon leaving. says'Lee Rognon, war is war, we can't surrender: "We urge that locks be put on every door and every win- dow. If you can't stop them, then at least slow down.

Delaying a thief gives police that, much more op- portunity to intervene." BUI Cobb of the Yate Lock Corp. agrees. He says today's unsophisticated bur- glars are wary of at teas! four i light, time and people. He says a well-protected i cover all. A bell alarm, for example, at under $10; a light Ml on in the window an night, to keep burglars wondering; a system of tocki which win delay a crook to the point, hopefully, he might give up for i easier; and a carefully plan- ned "look of occupancy" in a home at all times.

The last point, says Cobb, is most do dumb things. They close their curtains when they go out at night. They have the society columns report when they are vacationing iti'Ha- waii. Then there is the gal who goes i and leaves a note on the locked door for her son; invariably the note says: "'key is der the mat'." The carelessness says the Yale spokesman, is unbeliev- able.
