The Zeleks and children aged 2 years and 9 months were stranded without funds in the city and had been given Salvation Army meal tickets and the hotel room. "We never turn down real emergencies," Hesse contended.

"Yesterday, we handled a case from a local bar for a fellow who got beaten up pretty badly.

Sunday in Cox Medical Center. City Manager Don Busch said this morning that the municipal ordinance governing ambulance operation offers no means of requiring certificated operators to respond to a given type of call. A properly equipped emergency vehicle must be available for service on a 24-hour basis, the manager said, but the ordinance leaves the question of which calls to service entirely in the hands of the private operator. Folice summoned to the Missouri Hotel, 412 East Commercial, early Sunday, said that Zelek, 26, told them that Safety refused to respond to his request for ambulance service for his wife, Edith, 27, who hemorrhaged extensively during a miscarriage that began late Saturday. Reserve Officer Marc Kirby said that Officer Joe King also called Safety to request service at the hotel and was turned down.

Hesse said that Safety has no "set policy" governing its responses, with dispatchers instructed to evaluate calls on a case to case basis. He suggested that transportation by police from the hotel to nearby Cox would have been faster and just as safe as ambulance response. He also said that he is ready See SAFETY. Page 18 The Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the products from distribution for household use on the basis of research at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Okla homa City, indicating a causal connection between exposure to certain adhesive formulas and chromosome damage leading to genetic birth defects. Although admitting that the link between the products and birth defects is not "positively established the commission concluded that their distribution for household use presents "an imminent hazard to the public health." on the basis of the Oklahoma research and what it termed "the alarming potential for serious personal injury or illness to children of a parent or parents exposed to these products," Bengsch said his primary hope is that publicity surrounding the order will limit indiscriminate use of the adhesives designed primarily for arts, crafts, and general household bonding uses.

He said businesses that use the adhesives in their production processes have been referred St. Louis offices of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Bengsch said that he is "very, very pleased" with the cooperation offered by Springfield businesses in locating sprays designated "hazardous substances" by the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Bengsch said that Springfield businesses which had one or more of the brands on hand cooperated "100 per cent" in removing them from shelf stock pending decision by suppliers on disposal. Listed as banned because of the possibility that they may cause birth defects were: "Foil Art Adhesive," manufactured by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, St. Paul, and distributed by Decorator Crafts, Oklahoma City; 'Scotch Brand Spra-Ment Adhesive," also made by 3-M; "3M Spray Brand Spray Adhesive 77," also made by 3M; "Krylon Spray Adhesive," a product of Borden of Columbus, Ohio, and New York City. 5 In Ichord WILLOW SPRINGS (Special) "I don't see how some of our people have survived thus far because of inflation," Rep. Richard H.

Ichord, D-8th District, said this morning. Ichord. who is touring his con gressional district, noted that most of his constituents had ex pressed concern over wages and prices. In an interview at the post office here, the Houston Democrat commented on the Watergate affair. "I feel there should be more prosecuting and more jailing and less investigating, Icjprd said.

"I feel that the hearings will be brought to a close quite soon. "I agree with (Special Prosecutor Archibald) Cox that some of the guilty will go free because the jury has been hindered and prejudiced by so much publicity," the congressman said. Ichord said he believes "the pertinent parts" of President Nixon's tapes, those parts pertaining to Watergate, should be given to the Senate investigating committee, and he said, "I believe they will be handed over, either by court order or voluntarily." Rep. Ichord, who is chairman of the House Internal Security Committee, said his committee will investigate a 1970 intelligence plan that was approved by President Nixon and subsequently abandoned when former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover disagreed with it.

Ichord said he thought Hoover was right to disapprove of the plan.

Hiller pleaded guilty Aug. 20 to burglary and stealing charges in connection with a breakin March 6 at Schaffitzel's Green-bouse, 1771 East Atlantic, and was scheduled to appear for sentencing Thursday. A capias warrant was issued when Hiller failed to appear. Defense a ttorney Bob Bruer told Judge Greene that Hiller's previous appeal on a three-year sentence on a charge of possession of burglary tools was being dismissed. On the recommendation of assistant Prosecutor Ted Strecker, Judge Greene assessed the terms to also run concurrently with the three-year sentence.

Hiller had been free on appeal bond. BoisD'Arc Man Held On Two Gty Charges A 24-year-old Bois D'Arc man, Jerry A.
