Ellender Services Killing Cat May Cost LA $1,950 LOS ANGELES (UPI) Killing the wrong cat will probably cost Los Angeles County at least $1.950. The cat is the one that bit Robert V.

Hess. 40, in 1969. and was seized by the county Department of Animal Control. The department is supposed to keep such animals for at least five days to determine whether they could have transmitted rabies to the bite victim. This particular cat however was killed immediately, for reasons the county says are unclear.

As a result. Hess, to be on the safe side, was required to undergo the Pasteur antirabie treatment, a very painful series of 14 injections in the abdomen. But after the first six shots, he became allergic to the vaccine and the treatment was halted, leaving him to wait and see whether he would get rabies, which brings a horrible death. Hess said even though he did not come down with rabies, the strain of waiting activated a pre-existing ulcer condition, and he sued the county for $50,360. The county counsel's office recommended Friday the county offer Hess a settlement of $1.950.

McGovern's son. Steve, interviewed at Rapid City Airport before he left Friday, said it was "very likely" that Eagleton will withdraw and "my father thinks it too." McGovern appeared relaxed and confident despite the past week's ordeal as he went from table to table in the lodge dining room chatting with surprised newsmen who were eating there on the last night of McGovern's fitful two-week vacation. "When he talked this week." he said of his meeting with Eagleton Tuesday, "We agreed that if we had a sense of strong public feeling, he would reconsider." McGovern said. The candidate said there was no way of knowing at the news conference Tuesday what the public reaction would be but since then newspaper editorials, 1 e- grams, phone calls from financial contributors and other indicators have evidently convinced McGovern that his chances of winning, which were low to begin with, would be close to zero with Eagleton on the ticket. McGovern said he blamed no one for the failure to check out Eagleton's past more thoroughly before his election was made in Miami Beach.

"If we had sent investigators into Missouri, they probably would've come back with rave reports." he said. He blamed the misfortune on his confusion of the convention and the "vice presidential selection process" which he contended prevents serious checking into the running mate's past.

In the Nixon telegram, Chase commended the President for saying that he would not 'make a political issue of Eagleton's health.
