I'm trying to support three children on ADC but it just isn't enough for food and clothing, rent and utilities plus transportation back and forth to the hospital for treatment. At this very moment, there isn't any food in the house and I don't have any money. Is there anything you can do? M.M., Detroit.

Food order generally isn't provided person with active ADC file, but Social Services agreed to make exception in your case due to circumstances.

Part of problem is you're not budgeting money according to Social Services recommendations, like trying to pay off back utility bills in full rather than amounts suggested by department. Transportation back and forth to hospital is also putting big dent in allotment. If less expensive transportation than taxi can't be arranged, allotment will be revised.

One of the things I noticed during my recent trip to England was that British people use their eating utensils in a different manner than Americans.

The English hold forks with their left hand while Americans put their knife down and switch the fork to the right hand. Why the difference? M.O., Detroit. Americanism most likely evolved out of sense of security. According to International Institute's Renee Van Dewa-ter, folklore, has it that fork was utensil used only by royalty back around 13th Century. Because danger was ever present then, aristocrats didn't even trust dinner companions enough to set down knife so Legion Deaths Mount; Vims May Be Killer From UPI and Af HARRISBURG, Pa.

New deaths arid new cases of a baffling illness that has killed 20 persons who attended a state American Legion convention in Philadelphia last month werel reported Tuesday. State health officials stepped up efforts to identify the disease. Officials speculated that a virus was responsible, and said' if investigations proved that to be the case, there was little they could do but ease the symptoms of those now ill. But officials stressed that there was no evidence the disease had spread to others who did not attend the convention. State Health Secretary Leonard Bachman said 54 Legion members or others who attended the convention had been hospitalized.

The victims attended the state convention July State BY REMER TYSON AND BILLY BOWLES Fret Press Staff Writtrs U.S. Rep Marvin Esch jumped to a wide lead in Michigan's Republican primary Tuesday and Donald Riegle and Richard Austin were locked in a close Democratic race, according to early Free Press indicator precincts. Based on those indicators, Riegle took a surprising lead over the favored Austin, Michigan's well-known secretary of state. If the early trend held, Esch was cruising to an easy Republican victory. Former Michigan Supreme Court Justice Thomas Brennan was running second to Esch.

Based on 37 of 80 Free Press indicator precincts, the Democratic totals were: Riegle 41 percent; Austin 34; U.S. Rep. James O'Hara 21, and Birmingham lawyer James Elsman 4. The early indicators showed the Republican race to be: Esch 42 percent; Brennan 29; former Congressman Robert Hubar of Troy 16; and Ann Arbor businessman a Baker 12. Because the Free Press's 80 indicator precincts were picked at random from around the state, it was possible that the early totals of the first 37 reported could change in the final results.

The voter turnout for Tuesday's primary was lighter than the 1972 state primary, according to election officials. Election officials reported that Tuesday's primary voting went smoothly throughout the state. Like reports from most other areas in the state, the Detroit turnout was below the 1972 state primary 181,236 on Tuesday compared with 192,445 four years ago. The turnout was reported light in O'Hara's home county of Macomb, but up sharply in Genesee County which Riegle represents in Congress. AMONG THE Democratic candidates, Austin was far better known at the beginning of the campaign.

He had run for Congress and Wayne County auditor before making a race for Mayor of Detroit in 1969. He lost the mayoralty race by a whisker to former Mayor Roman Gribbs. But the publicity about his good chance of becoming the first black mayor of Detroit made him one of the best-known politicians in Michigan. In 1970 he made his first statewide race for secretary of state and won easily. He was Please turn to Page 12A, Col.

What happened to the smoking ban at Pontiac Stadium? D.S., Sterling Heights. Puffing prohibition's gone up in smoke. Suit filed last year by Bloomfield Township attorney Lawrence J. Stockier led to temporary smoking ban at pre-trial hearing last December 18. Suit was settled out of court.

Under terms of agreement, Pontiac Stadium Authority agreed only to put up courtesy signs saying "Thank You For Not Smoking." Stadium has 50 such' signs posted, two at each entrance to seating areas. Ushers aren't allowed to come down on smokers who ignore signs. Stockier attended Saturday's exhibition game, said haze at end of game wasn't too bad.

"Apparently both deaths and the number of new cases of the disease -have increased and are increasing. "We do not have any documentation of secondary spread. If there was any we would have expected it already, but we are still watch-' ing for it" BACHMAN SAID state and federal investigations indicated the disease was probably a virus, but they had not identified its type and still did not know how it was transmitted. "I think that It's most likely! a virus. Hospitals have very good facilities for detecting bacteria and we would have known by now if it was bac-, teria," he said.

Throat cultures and fecal and blood samoles were sent to the state laboratories in Philadelnh'a for analysis, said Dr. Jay Satz, director of the department's virology and, immunology division. "The soecimns are in good shaoe. If there is a virus present we should be able to de-. tect it," Satz said.

But he said the nrocess would take at least three days. The first samples were rpc'vpd Monday. If the virus theory proves correct, then there is little doctors can do to treat the illness. In most cases, viruses must run teir conrpe, with doctors providing treatment to ease various symptoms, according to Satz. INVESTIGATORS are also searching for the way the disease was transmitted.

FTC Plans Anti-Trust Probe of Carmakers Special to the Free Press WASHINGTON The Federal Trade Commission announced Tuesday an anti-trust investigation of the automobile industry that will look into such things as how prices are set and how cars are distributed. The agency said it is making the investigation public in keeping with its policy to disclose such matters. It added that its investigation does not imply that there have been violations of law. THE PROBE will be the FTC's first deep look at the auto industry in more than 30 years.

Spokesmen for General Motors Corp. and the Ford Motor Co. said they are confident that the probe will show their firms are operating in compliance with all laws. Both said, however, that the investigation will be expensive and wasteful. Chrysler Corp.

THE QUESTION Viking's Martian Biologists Doubt Signals Mean Life BY MICHAEL COAKLEY Chicago Tribunt LOVELAND, Colo. The death toll in the Big Thompson Canyon flash flood climbed to 88 Tuesday as rescuers reported spotting many bodies that have not yet been removed from the rugged and devastated hills. Larimer County Sheriff Bob Watson said the number of dead could reach 200 once his men are able to bulldoze their way into the hardest hit areas of the vast canyon enclosing the flooded Big Thompson River. Some bodies, he added, probably never will be found.

"Who knows what's buried in all that silt?" said the sheriff. "Some farmer will dig up his cornfield someday and find a body." CREWS WORKING out of nearby Estes Park told a dep Coal Veto Defeated in First Test WASHINGTON (AP) -The Senate voted Tuesday to override President Ford's veto of a bill increasing the states' share of royalties from private development of coal and other minerals on federal land. The vote was 75 tp 18, or 12 more than the two-thirds required to override. A House vote is scheduled for Wednesday and is exepcted to be closer. MICHIGAN'S two senators split on the vote, with Democrat Philip Hart voting to override and Republican Robert Griffin voting to support the president's veto.

Ford complained in a veto message July 3 that the bill has so many burdensome provisions that "it would inhibit coal production "bn fed-e a land, probably raise prices for consumers and ultimately delay our achievement of energy independence."

But Brown, Viking biologist for TRW Systems, manufacturer of the automated laboratory, said the prevailing view among the scientists is that life is not the cause of the experimental results.

(AP) Viking biologists believe there is "almost zero" chance that strange soil activity being detected by the robot lander is due to Martian life, a scientist said Tuesday. Most Viking biologists are now convinced that a chemical process triggered by sunlight falling on the dusty soil of Mars is producing results in Viking's mini-laboratory that mimic life processes, said Dr. Frederick Brown.

"The data have almost zero chance of being a message about life," said Brown, a member of the Viking biology flight team.

One rescue doctor called the operation our most difficult since World War II." In Geneva, the International Red Cross Committee said 150 more wounded will be evacuated from the camp Wednesday.

There are an estimated 4,000 wounded in the refugee camp in southeast Beirut. An announcement by the Swiss-based humanitarian organization said the situation of the camp was "dramatic." "Some among them require surgery, which was impossible inside the camp, and have been waiting for weeks for medical treatment of their wounds," the committee said. Sporadic fire raked a sports field separating the warring factions throughout the seven-hour rescue. The operation nearly collapsed when Christian units refused to allow Red Cross doc tors to take in medicine, water and blankets to the remaining wounded. One Christian soldier, who had argued among a minority of rightists to allow at least medicine be carried in to their surrounded Moslem foes, turned away in anger.

"This is the dirtiest war in the world," he said bitterly. It was the first time in six tries Red Cross officials had managed to bring out any of the wounded in the camp, which has been under siege by Christian forces for 44 days. A Swedish photographer said that among those rescued was Eva Stahl, a 27-year-old Swedish nurse who lost an arm, suffered a broken leg and a miscarriage during the siege. She was the wife of a guerilla leader killed early in the battle.
