--Hi soning and laid the blame on Last fall, in an area made nervous by the lead poisoning deaths of many valuable horses, a widow in her mid-50s started having severe headaches and unexplained nosebleeds. Her stomach ached and she felt tired all the time. A 13 year old boy, who lived near the widow in Benicia, started having similar problems. His family had lost one of the horses to the disease.

Miss Simone's astonishing musical presentation, as usual, was just a portion of the evening's show; the rest was one of the most magnetic instances of pure theater in which I have ever been Involved. One does not attend a Si-mone "concert." One takes part in a religious experience the essence of "soul" expression after all. Miss Simone sings and plays her gospel-blues piano; she talks, and preaches; she moves around the stage, her every gesture and bodily emphasis a calculated expression. She dances and claps, and exhorts; she stands and kneels, and bows.

And she is proud. Proud of being black, proud of being a woman. "You're already free, you just don't know it," she reminds her audience. She is a goddess to her most devoted, singularly charismastic to everyone. She read Maya Angelou's "I Am Your Mystery," and it became a rhythmic clasr sic, with her brother's accompaniment group playing conga, finger -harp, electric piano, behind her.

On the other hand, the State Health Department said it was not lead poisoning. After it performed medical tests with preschoolers and a series of environmental tests, to make sure, it lost interest and bowed out of the case. In a supersensitive situation, the Solano County health people made no judgment. Facing It Today Dr. Perry, 45, is on the hot seat.

He speaks to outsiders reluctantly. "This thing has just gotten bigger and bigger," he says. "I resent people getting emotional about it. If there's something wrong happening, I say let's face it. I'm not going to back off.

He notes that the dump is a Class A type, one of only a dozen in the state, and it has a been approved by a score of agencies.
