Show Campaign it Matches, Lighters Made Safer By JOSEPH L. MYLER WASHINGTON (UPI)-T- he National Bureau of Standards weeks remaining in the campaign. "There has been a very perceptible change," said Land Commissioner Bob Armstrong, of McGovern's cochairman Texas campaign organization and one of the few state officials who endorsed McGovern in the early stages of the race. "People who at first jus'S heir minds are closed beginning to listen. The feeling some people had of no chance at all is beginning to give way," Armstrong said. "It's just going to be a question of how long this continues, and in what direction.

That such steps and others being undertaken by other agencies are urgently needed was pointed out by three Texas physicians recently in the Journal of the American Texas. But Shriver announced after a meeting in Houston last week he had verbal commitments for $100,000. Organized labor in the Texas, which bucked to council national labor publicly endorse McGovern, has vowed to raise another $100,000 by collecting $25 donations from individual workers. But Texas Democrats are fading things tough all over this year. Dallas attorney Barefoot Sane aide to former ders, a President Lyndon B. Johnson, is conducting a shoestring campaign against Republican Sen. John G. Tower, whose reelection campaign is well financed.

The Texans said the United States is suffering from a "silent epidemic" burns that of is killing and crippling more people than polio did in its peak epidemic year of 1954. The physicians are Armoru S. Goldman, Duane L. Larso:i and Sally Abston of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. They proposed a burn prevention program directed by a single government agency. It would be a national effort as great as the campaign that finally brought polio under control. Outkills Folio The AMA cited National Safety Council figures showing high-priori- ty that fires and burn injuries killed 6,700 persons and inflicted disabling injuries on 250,000 in 1970.

The National Bureau of Standards said 28 per cent of accidental garment fires result from igniting matches or lighters. Children, particularly those under 10, "are most often the victims of these fires." In practically all cases of burned children, the accidents "involved playing with, rather than using, matches or lighters." The NBS recommended that matches be packaged in a way to limit a child's access to them and that both matches and lighters be designed to make it hard for children to ignite them. It has asked an engineering firm to develop prototypes for safer match and lighter designs. NBS also is studying how to make kitchen ranges safer. Design changes would include control knobs that cannot be turned on accidentally, burner arrays which do nC require reaching over one burner to use another, and eliminating the danger of "invisible" hot burners such as are involved in some ranges. The Texas doctors called for "a large expenditure of effort from physicians, public health workers, educators, and responsible individuals in industry and government." "Nothing less," they said, "will suffice to solve the present 'silent' epidemic of burn injuries." today's FUNNY 30-im- -h T'j-bush- Great styling and comfort featured in these collar, flap MN'kets. and long shirltails are the realistic shling features.
