MEAT MORE AAi GARDEN FRESH 1 1 WASHINGTON (AP) Two California scientists have informed federal of-ficials'they believe the flame retardant Tris may cause harm to the reproductive systems of boys if contained in their sleeping garments. The scientists Arlene Blum and Bruce N. Ames of the University of California at Berkeley made their observations in a letter to John Byington, chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, according to the Washington Post. The commission earlier this year ordered sleepwear treated with Tris off the market because the flame retardant was believed to cause cancer.

Court challenges have frustrated the ban, but a federal judge in Washington state on Tuesday enjoined one company from selling Tris-contained clothing. The two' California biochemists said that Tris-BP is a chemical closely related to DBCP, which recently was linked to sterility among workers at chemical plants in California and pesticide containing UBur. In the letter to Byington, the scientists said they have "new information that reinforces our fears" that boys who have worn pajamas treated with Tris may suffer sterility, sperm mutations and testicular abnormalities. "The risk of reproductive effects on children from Tris-treated pajamas is amplified because the scrotum is about 20 times more permeable to chemicals than other skin," the scientists said. The chemical DBCP was believed to have caused sterility in a number of male chemical workers at the Dow Chemical plant in Magnolia, and an Occidental Chemical plant in Lathrop Calif.

Meanwhile, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that U.S. Dist. Judge Walter T. McGovern in Washington state has enjoined Lamonts Apparel from selling Tris. Restaurants use candies during blackout in 'Frisco SAN FRANCISCO (AP) It was dinner by candlelight at Fisherman's Grotto restaurant after a transformer exploded, knocking out lights on tourist-jammed Fisherman's Wharf.

"We really don't mind. It's more fun this way," said Marianne Curtis of Los Angeles as she nibbled on her seafood dinner during the brief blackout Tuesday night. Pacific Gas Electric Co. said about 50 restaurants, bars and businesses in a four-block area were without power during the 80 minutes it took to fix the transformer. Utility officials blamed the power outage on an undetermined mechanical failure.

Curiosity seekers at the famed Wax Museum were given an extra thrill when the lights went out. Employes with flashlights had to lead the visitors through a maze of waxy busts out to the street. "It wasn't too bad," said a security guard. "There were only a few screams." When the lights came back to life at 9:40 p.m., PET, the normally heavy sidewalk traffic along the Embarcadero was almost non-existant. Many tourist amusements in the darkened zone closed up shop for the night, fearing it would take hours to restore power.

Police reported no criminal incidents resulted from the blackout. public information officer Miles Sheldon said no homes were without electricity. The fiery explosion, which witnesses said hurled a manhole cover 30 feet off the ground, initially generated some confusion when police reported the incident as a bombing. But Sheldon said it was common for an intense bomb-like blast to result when such a mechanical failure occurs. Sheldon said a number of things could have caused the failure, including a circuit overload.

The bombing Monday of a substation across San Francisco Bay in Sausalito knocked out power in 6,300 homes. The underground terrorist New World Liberation Front claimed responsibility for that blast in a telephone call lo The Associated Press. 1 GARDEN FRESH CR0VDIR FEAS 3 lbs. FORD HOOK FRESH TABOR CITY, N.C. (AP) -The chairman of the North Carolina Tobacco Producers Association says tobacco growers "have to fight for ourselves." Ed Rivenbark said the growers have "got to get politically oriented because right now there is no real political voice for farmers." To that end, Rivenbark said the state's growers are thinking about setting up a national "tobacco political action committee." He said the emphasis of any such group would be on campaign donations to friends of tobacco running for office in non-tobacco states.

"We'd ask that they donate based on the amount of benefit they receive from tobacco," he said. "The larger the benefits, the more they should give." "It's very necessary for us to have influence in Congress other than just the representatives of tobacco states," Rivenbark said. "We feel like it's important to us to recognize our friends in other states, and help them get elected." He added that, "it's also important to recognize our enemies and do all we can to get them out." Once formed, Rivenbark said the group could collaborate with similar organizations in South Carolina, Georgia and perhaps Florida and Virginia. LIMA DEANS 3 lbs. FRESH MOUNTAIN 51 TOMATOES 3 lbs.

I just performed the same kind of ceremony I have hundreds of times before." When the simple ceremony was over, the bride and groom had an hour together. Then the groom, Larry Eugene Smith, 33, returned to his quarters behind the 100-year-old stone walls of Central Prison. Parole and a permanent reunion with his bride, 27-year-old Janice Flanagan of Newark, are possible in 1979. The newlyweds have courted for three years by mail and through the glass and wire mesh of prison visiting rooms. The courtship began in 1974, after Smith escaped while serving time for breaking and entering.

Smith has spent 15 years of his life behind bars. They met while he worked briefly for a cousin in Delaware, and when he returned to High Point, N.C. and was captured, he began corresponding with her.
