Tenn. The couple's child, delivered by Caesarean section, died at 6:09 a.m. Sunday in Cox Medical Center. City Manager Don Busch said this morning that the 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.

Police 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. Agreement to transport the woman to the Cox emergency room was Greenlawn Funeral Ambulance threatened legal funeral home that agreed to hemorrhaging with a misemergency transportation by Home, acting at the request of police.

"We never turn down real emergencies," Hesse contended. we handled a case from a local bar for a fellow who got beaten up pretty badly. A couple of months ago, we moved the woman who was torn up so bad in her mobile home (the victim of an attempted rape, the woman's assailant also did extensive, apparently deliberate damage to sensitive membranes); we knew we wouldn't get paid for that one." 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 nearby Cox would have been faster and just as safe as ambulance response.

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 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; Brand Spra-Ment Adhesive," also made by 3-M; Spray Brand Spray Adhesive 77,11 also made by 3M; Spray Adhesive," a product of Borden of Columbus, Ohio, and New York City.

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, Oklahoma 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).
