Study Claims Some Nonphosphate Detergents Can Cause Blindness WASHINGTON (AP) Some nonphosphate detergents on the market can cause irreversible blindness if accidentally rubbed into the eye, according to an unpublished government study. "The results of this study indicate the rather sharp demarcation between moderate ocular damage caused by soap in phosphate detergents and the intense causticity of carbonates and metasilicates," the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences concluded. The Food and Drug Administration, charged with protecting the public from hazardous substances, has reacted to the report with disdain. "They are treading outside the realm in which they should be operating," said an official in FDA's Bureau of Product Democrats Hope Human Gatekeepers Do Better Job MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) The people who attend the a i National Convention next week will be admitted by people, not machines.

The Democrats hope that humans can do what electronic gatekeepers couldn't. In Chicago four years ago it was go or no-go according to the capricious whims of a machine that flashed green or red and maybe not at all. A plastic card held by the user aided the machine in its decision. Sometimes it got fooled by an ordinary oil company credit card, but most often by its transistor innards. The result was people who got in when they shouldn't; people who didn't when they should; and a lot of people who flashed redder than the machines.

This time, the Democrats have gone back to the old-fashioned admission ticket, numbered and color-coded, with secret and invisible markings to thwart would-be counterfeiters. Next to the heat, the subject most discussed in this bareback, lace-dress strip of nature- gone-overboard is "security." Security outside (Yippies, Hippies and Zippies) and security inside (delegates, challengers, newsmen and messengers). On suggestion of the Secret Service, the convention hall will undergo a military-type inspection for possible bombs beginning at midnight Sunday. It will not be reopened until Monday afternoon. "The system relies on people not knowing what's in it," says Wesley Pomeroy, the man in charge of security inside.

For instance, the party's Se- curity Advisory Committee, which he heads has been working for a year on ways to make the entry easier for those who should get in; and harder for those who shouldn't. Only Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien and others of similar rank have passes for all sessions. Each day, just before the convention opens, the day's tickets will go to the heads of delegations. The tickets were printed in a secret place, under guard.

They are now stored, under guard. The day's color will be chosen just before distribution. Going past the gatekeepers, people will pass through metal sniffers such as those airports use to detect hijackers. Briefcases will be searched. Internal security for the huge convention center complex was put on bid and eight firms app i The winner was McDonnell-Frain, which has had experience with such tightly guarded events as the Super Bowl and the 1968 Republican National Convention.

Inside the hall will be bomb squads and plainclothes police. Seven of the would-be candidates have Secret Service protection. Somewhere in the complex is a command center where representatives of various security segments will coordinate actions should there be trouble inside, outside or both.

Safety. "We have the charter, we have the mandate." The official asked not to be named, because he said it would violate protocol to criticize a "sister agency." The institute's study, conducted by Dr. David P. Rail, the director, said NIH veterinarians Dr. Donald B.

Feldman and John A. Moore, concentrated on nine synthetic-detergent products purchased near its Triangle Park, N.C., facilities. Seven were laundry products, of which three contained phosphates (Tide, Ajax, and Dash); a i carbonate (Sears, and Arm and Hammer), one had metasilicate (Ecolo-G); and one was a soap powder (Ivory Snow). Two were dishwashing compounds, one containing metasilicate (Electro-Sol), and one with phosphate (Cascade). Material was put into the left eyes of New Zealand white rabbits and reactions were recorded at one, two, three, seven and 14 days.

The researchers said all the products tested irritated the eyes and caused an inflammation, known as conjunctivitis, and some clouding of the cornea. The soap-powder eyes began clearing by 7 hours and were healthy again at seven days. The laundry-phosphate eyes cleared in all but one of 4 rabbits by 14 days. "The reaction to carbonate and metasilicate detergents was more intense," the report said. Carbonates caused chronic opacities on 14 of 18 rabbits.

Eleven animals suffered partial or total destruction of the cornea and a deterioration of tissue in the eyelids. Test results were similar for dishwashing detergents: The researchers cautioned that detergent formulas may change frequently and vary regionally depending on hardness of water. The FDA disagrees with the institute's testing methods, particularly because the eyes were not washed after exposure, and in fact plans to revise its own procedures to provide a wash after five minutes after 24 hours and lengthen the observation period from 72 hours to a minimum of seven days.

Consumers Finding Warnings of Higher Meat Prices All Too True By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS warned consumers on June 16 Consumers warned by supermarket officials to expect higher meat prices are finding the warning all too true.

An Associated Press survey of about two dozen cities shows that grocery bills particularly for the better cuts of beef and for pork have increased anywhere from a dime a pound on up in the two weeks since the latest warning was issued. Cabinet officials scheduled a meeting in Washington today with officials of food chains and called in farmers for a Thursday session to help in preparing a food prices report that President Nixon has requested by July 10. Shoppers, meanwhile, were issuing their own reports. "The food prices are just terrible now," said a woman in a Seattle, supermarket. know how much the prices have gone up because I just started shopping regularly a year and a half ago when I was married." "Prices are out of said a man in a Kansas City store.

"The very first thing the government should have done in its economic program was to put controls on food prices."

They said that wholesale costs have been going up and the retail outlets no longer could absorb the increase. The AP checked prices in a dozen cities on June 16, then checked again two weeks later to see if there had been any change. Among the findings: In Seattle, the prices of 10 items were checked. Five went up, one went down and four remained steady. Increases included veal round steak, which went from $2.25 to $2.39 a pound, and rib pork chops, up two cents to $109 a pound.

Stable items included peanut butter crackers, fruit juices, cheese, mayonnaise, butter and milk. In the Chicago suburb of LaGrange Park, pork loin end cut went from 79 to 85 cents a pound and jumbo eggs increased from 59 to 65 cents a dozen. Sirloin steak dropped from $1.59 to $1.39 cents a pound, but the manager said the decrease was temporary, due to a holiday special. Peach Crop Near Failure LANSING, Mich. (AP) -Michigan fruit armers, reeling from a June freeze which all but wiped out this year's blueberry crop, are now facing "a near disaster" in the peach harvest.

State agriculture officials said the 1972 peach crop is "just about a failure" due to a January cold snap which, following days of mild weather, killed the peach buds. The officials estimated the coming harvest at 313,000 bushels, compared to 1,708,000 in 1971 In addition, President Nixon's order to freeze prices on farm products after they leave the farm may make it hard for the growers to recoup their losses through higher prices, officials said. The Michigan Apple Commission said it expected a reduced crop of apples also, due to the same June 11 freeze that killed the blueberries. But the harvest in tart cherries, sweet cherries, strawberries, pears, grapes, plums and raspberries are expected to be near or above average with little damage from freezing, the agriculture experts said. In Los Angeles, ground beef went from 73 to 78 cents a pound, sirloin tip steak from $1.49 to $1.67 a pound and a Swiss steak TV dinner from 63 to 67 cents.

Items that were unchanged included round steak, chicken legs, russet potatoes, lettuce, onions, liquid cleaner and aluminum foil. A store manager in Los Angeles said, "It's hard to tell what is happening to food prices because they go up and down continually. We do know that our prices are going up and our profits are going down." PAGE 18 Iranwood Daily Globe, Wednesday, July 5, 1972 Cftess Match Postponed Again; Russian Walks Out REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon following another psotponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday. But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present.

He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 48- hour postponement of the opener, originally scheduled for last Sunday. They hoped both players would be ready to meet on Thursday. Fischer arrived in Reykjavik early Tuesday. The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected his demand for 30 per cent of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London investment banker doubled the $125,000 purse which he and Spassky will divide.

The 29-year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guarded villa at the edge of town when Spassky counterattacked in the holdout department. The 35-year-old Soviet champion read a prepared statement calling the American's conduct insulting and intolerable. It said Fischer, by refusing to appear at the opening ceremony last weekend, had insulted Spassky personally and the Soviet Chess Federation and had jeopardized his right to play for the title. The statement demanded that Fischer be punished. However, Max Euwe, president of the international federation, said the Soviets had not formally requested punishment.

"What should I do?" he asked. "Put him in the corner?" Fischer was staying away from newsmen and did not comment on the Soviet statement. With the contribution from the London banker, James D. Slater, the winner is to get $156,250 and the loser $93,750. In addition, each player will get another $75,000 from the television and film rights.

Truman Remains in Satisfactory Condition KANSAS CITY (AP) Former President Harry S. Truman remains in satisfactory condition at Research Medical Center, where he is hospitalized for tests relating to what doctors say is a "lower gastrointestinal ailment." Hospital officials report the 88-year-old Truman has been resting comfortably and was visited Tuesday by his wife, Bess. A spokesman said Truman's physician, Dr. Wallace Graham, has given no indication when the former president might be discharged from the hospital. Truman, admitted Sunday, has taken several walks in the hospital corridors.
