His medical insurance has expired, he has spent his life savings, lost his home, has $7,000 in new medical bills for this year and doctors still see no cure in sight. "There's no way I could ever live long enough to pay back all that I owe the hospital." said Zahner, who has an undocumented bleeding disease. "And I haven't earned a dollar in the last five years." Zahner is ambulatory, but to stay alive he requires transfusions ol blood platelets, or clotting material, at least once per week, sometimes more often.

The material costs $300 each time Zahner has to have it to keep from bleeding to death internally. Zahner was a tool and die maker until the time of his forced early retirement from International Telephone Telegraph equipment plant at nearby Milan five years ago. After that, he did some light industrial arts teaching at Milan High School, but even that got to be too much for him, he said. "ITT carried me further than they would have had to," said Zahner.

senior police officers said. The upset of Mrs. Meir and the political weakness of her lame duck government puts Israel at a disadvantage in negotiating with Syria to end the continued fighting on the Golan Heights front. The resignation was viewed in Washington as a serious setback to Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's hopes for a quick disengagement along the Israeli Syrian front.
